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?

It all sounds a lot of stress and hard work. If I was you I'd drop it and do a Blue Peter appeal.
Is Blue Peter still going?

Lord of the Dance is one of my favourites!!

@MNHQ how long does it take you to respond (no pressure, just asking for an estimate!) I'm not sure if I've gone through the correct chanels and would be grateful for some guidance. Thank you.

Classic. I was chosen to play this in assembly in year 5 and it remains my proudest moment.

What are you wanting MN HQ to do?

Why?

What are you wanting MN HQ to do?

Maybe sponsorship for the big event?

Like I said it would have raised more that £50 but since having kids my aim is completely off. If I’d got the vicars mouth B promised an extra £200 for the charity but the vicars wife was the unfortunate recipient. Which I am obviously sorry and mortified about. I haven’t been able to talk to her since. It’s been awkward particularly at the jam and Jerusalem WI event.

nowayishere · 29/08/2018 21:37

I'm just making a cup of tea and then I'll fill you in on how the meeting went.
You know that feeling when you pull up a weed and it leaves a big hole but it's ok because soon enough another weed grows back in it's place? Yeah, the meeting went just like that and I need a break!!

Feefee gosh that is unfortunate. I hope she didn’t swallow.

Feefeetrixabelle · 29/08/2018 21:43

namechange no rather impressively she blew it back out to whence it came from. Apparently my cheering was an inappropriate response that made it worse.

OP mines a chai tea hen I’ve got the jammy dodgers ready for an update.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 29/08/2018 21:45

You two are quite the double act. You should take that on the road.

DrFoxtrot · 29/08/2018 21:47

OP it seems that you would like proper advice but your posts do not offer the information needed for others to help or provide an opinion.

Nobody else is in your head, your posts read like when people strike up a conversation from a random point because they've already had half the conversation in their heads Confused.

AmazingGrace16 · 29/08/2018 21:49

So is the concert going ahead?

pinkgirl1234 · 29/08/2018 22:02

As penance I think you should agree to service A’s organ ready for the big day

😂

pinkgirl1234 · 29/08/2018 22:03

I must admit I don't know what's involved in servicing an organ, but then I'm not religious.

I'm not sure I completely understand, but I will try to make sure things are clearer. DH said he would check if I need him to. Thank you Dr

Fee I don't know you. There is no connection here.

So, where to start.
Let's go with C.
So. During the last concert C was very upset after her solo. She sounded great and had an encore so I couldn't work out what the problem was. She was very cross with A and B but that is nothing unusual as you know what they are like!
There was a very nasty smell hanging around the alcove next to the altar (where we were sat waiting to perform.) It turned out C had wet herself (due to nerves, I'm sure), B had noticed and ran off to tell A who then went off and had a laugh about it with his African drummer friends (I swear, you couldn't make this up!)
The drums were too loud and a few people complained and poeple didn't want to donate any money (I think we made £100/£150 but that was mostly from my friends and family and some of the orchestra.
After the concert it all went back to normal. C has always taken a back seat.
At the meeting, B decided to share C's accident again. As you can imagine it didn't go down very well.
C has decided to only do one solo. A and B would like to do a few duets and bring back the drums (not on my watch!)
The problem is, C has picked a hymn that is notorious for it's timing. (It's ok, I haven't confused A with C- A still has terrible rhythm.) The orchestra can handle it perfectly but her timing is a bit off so I'm annoyed I didn't say anything at the time.
B was so annoying as she kept going on about being featured in an episode of Songs of Praise (it's not going to happen, B! Calm down!)

Mrsmadevans · 29/08/2018 22:22

I suspect C has taken a back seat to be nearer the Font in case of an emergency

Jozen · 29/08/2018 22:23

Righto.
Is there tickets to this thing?

nowayishere · 29/08/2018 22:25

Jozen

Yes there will be. I have said this before.

Mrsmadevans

Hahaha, that is so funny!! I'll make sure it's empty!

OP stop it with the slurs against C!! You know full well she didn’t wet herself. She just kicked over the penis beaker.
