Although I spent most of the 80s being mistaken for this poxy joker, more recently I have been compared to celebrated counter tenor, Andreas Scholl (above). For those of you poncey music fans who live in the London area, I'm not lying when I say that Andreas is to give a recital at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 11th June. I'm not going as I'd only be mobbed by autograph hunters.
Actually, I look bugger all like the bloke, although we do both wear glasses.
At my place of work, however, I am known as a celebrated tenner counter, as I am the man who deals with the petty cash.
I am celebrated because I count the cash with such consummate style. I always make sure the Queen's head is up the correct way and facing the ceiling, and I do not lick my fingers.
I am available for performances any evening or weekend.
You supply the notes.
I bring my own box.
Blimey. Toggle between the two - uncanny.
ReplyDeleteI am somewhere between the two.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't want to see us in a line-up.
i don't know who this man is but i am afraid of him.
ReplyDeleteoh, and i had an "older person's" rant on the sandi thom post just now. i am thirty three.
gah.
Do you wear a rubber thingy on your finger?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're not a counter tenor/tenner - haven't they had an operation?
Are you triplets that were separated at birth?
ReplyDeleteSurly - Be very afraid. He's not wearing any pants.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't think we'll see Anon again. We're too much like fuddy duddies.
Kaz - I've never done that though I've seen it done. If the counter tenor's had the operation he couldn't wear the rubber thingy either.
MJ - Yes. One got the mathematical brain, one got the ablility to sing. I'm not sure what Ben got.
Those rubber counter things sell like hot cakes actually. Trust me, when I was 15 I worked in W H Smiths. Funnily...it was always to middle aged blokes...
ReplyDeleteI had to get bulk orders in..it was terrifying.
Do you, then, wear a shade over your eyes and one of those bands round your arm in the style of The Sting? And if you don't, don't you think you should?
ReplyDeleteMolly - That's why I don't use one. I'd only keep wearing them out and then get embarrassed in Smiths.
ReplyDeleteWyndham - I'd love to but I think I'd get the sack.
I know a few nice boy sopranos.
ReplyDeleteNeed any?
Great!
ReplyDeleteI'd always wondered what happened to my old pal from Uni - Charlie "Lord" Falconer. And now I know!!
(Mutters under breath: I always knew he'd end up a waistrel, counting tenners and playing the Love Cats to a tent full of beer bellied yobs pumped up on Sangria, microwaved Steak & Paella pies and viagra implants. Shame, I always thought he would have made an excellent Lord Chancellor...)
