NC (name changed as I don't want this to be outing)

A rhythmless man at church has said he wants to put on a concert to raise some money for shoeless orphans. We shall call him A.

A said to B that they have money to help. B said that the last concert raised some issues but would support them none the less.

C said she didn't want to be forgotten.

Who is BU?

OP are you in charge of marketing?

Elephant14 · 28/08/2018 22:38

Punt. I see what you did there. Impressive.

Apologies OP, I am very tired, I struggled to follow the thread a tad. I’ll have another look in the morning when it will be easier to understand. In the meantime, my provisional solution is to cancel the orchestra and just have C sing on her own. No drums, no tambourines, no dancers, no ribbons, no bat-related entertainment, just C singing her little heart out (she can practice alone at home). May I be so bold as to suggest she include Walk This Way, Blue Suede Shoes and I’ve Got Sole. That way it becomes a bit of a themed event.

DeathyMcDeathStarFace · 28/08/2018 22:47

Nooooo Magicmonster, you can not cancel the orchestra, OP has to cancel the cheque!

Magicmonster · 28/08/2018 22:51

Well if you cancel the cheque the orchestra are hardly going to show up anyway are they?!

Puzzledandpissedoff · 28/08/2018 22:52

You should hear A with a tambourine. Awful

Obviously you've been misleading us; with the tambourines it's clearly not an ordinary church at all but a Salvation Army citadel

You should have said so in the first place, then everyone would have understood

OP is that you HullyGully?

@NutButterNutter. That’s what I wanted to know?

@LadyMonicaBaddingham. Penguin Bollards 🤣

@Golde. The MIL of course!

Is this in code? Has anyone translated into English yet?

sonicdoom · 28/08/2018 23:15

The numberwang reference! Genius! Grin

OP, they was quite a nasty bump on the head you had. Hope you feel better in the morning. Try and get some rest

LTB ??

pinkgirl1234 · 28/08/2018 23:17

Last time a lady did some contemporary dance involving ribbons. It was unsavoury at best.

Was she pole dancing on A's massive organ?

SD1978 · 28/08/2018 23:21

Penguin bollards, obviously. And 111 to log he complaint. They are all CF's who need heir own parking space and shouldn't be using yours.

Mummymummums · 28/08/2018 23:30

I have a solution: C can be Solozilla, and A & B the support act. Does that work OP? Grin

MissusGeneHunt · 28/08/2018 23:35

Send three and four pence, we're going to a dance....

Thursday.
I'm pretty sure it's Thursday.

Dermymc · 28/08/2018 23:49

Omg u OK hun?

JillianHoltzmann · 28/08/2018 23:52

Okay I think I understand what's going on here. A wants to put on a concert to raise money, but can't perform because he has no rhythm. C can perform but nobody wants her to because she is unreliable. B thinks it's just going to turn into a s**tshow and therefore doesn't want it to happen?
Is that right OP? If so I think B and C are unreasonable but A is just wanting to do something nice. B should give A a chance, and if C wants to be in the show she needs to prove she's reliable

Witchend · 29/08/2018 00:36

I've worked this out.
It's a secret message from GCHQ.
Don't know what it means though.

Hayles88 · 29/08/2018 00:42

Someone's smoking crack in this story and I think its Sharon.

rainbowstardrops · 29/08/2018 02:18

TheSultanofPingu · 29/08/2018 07:21

C needs to go it alone and do their own fundraising event.

@magic please don't comment on my thread anymore. I feel you are being disingenuous and possibly making fun of me, if I'm reading your posts correctly.
As for your rediculous song suggestions...We couldn't possibly sing that in a church! Begone.
