Wrestling George Formby



TO MAKE up for the poor frequency of my blog, here's a DOUBLE entry. That's right, DOUBLE. In capital letters.

WRESTLING

Last Sunday, DL, AW and I were lucky enough to score free tickets to a WWE event in Sydney. And not just any old tickets, either. Wrestling aficionado DL was up in a corporate box while AW and I were in "diamond" class, three rows from the ring. It was awesome, particularly the tag team matches. My favourite rasslers? Athletic Michelle McCool and alleged Irish midget Hornswoggle (that's him in the pic with tag team partner Finlay).

FORMBY

On Monday, it was up to me to teach a couple of George Formby ukulele strums at BUK. The theme of the evening was "The War Years" and I concentrated on "When I'm Cleaning Windows"...naturally. I think it went well.
