Last night I went to a centenary celebration of a former theatre that is now a nice museum.
They had people dressed in Edwardian costume, a "birthday cake" and a palm court orchestra playing the same programme as the original opening a hundred years ago. Lots of local celebs etc had been invited and it was an enjoyable eve.

At the original opening the band had two members who went on to play for the White Star Line and were in the band some 7 years after the theatre opening on the titanic when it went down. One of their surnames was Russell and the other was Hulme.

Last night, at the centenary, one of the bits of music played was Nearer My God to Thee, and the conductors name was a Mr Russell-Hulme!!!!

Spooky or what??:\

When you went to the bar to get your G&T, did the barman ask if you wanted ice?

I remember my spookiest moment very vividly.

There was one time I'd just left the pub after a particularly heavy session.

Just after I left the pub, I heard someone call my name, I looked around to see two dozen naked women running after me! All screaming my name, and shouting about how they want to have my babies!!

They were stunning!

Anyway, being somewhat surprised at this, I decided to run. After running a few paces, I thought to myself "what are you doing?! this is a chance of a lifetime!!" So I turned around to greet my admirers, but they were gone!!

They'd disappeared without a trace-every single one of them!

WEIRD!!
