framheim Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 i hadn't been at the moorings for ages before that gig and by the end we were all standing around going "why the hell don't we come here more often?". good beer and cracking banter. although, i did fuck my voice up something rotten trying to speak to people. made me feel like a proper old man moaning about it being too loud to have conversation. it's a small price to pay for good times though.

Flash@TMB Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Dare I ask what the Mr Moorings contest entailed?There were 5 stages, 3 of which were performed to spectators:Scientific scales measure of body fat and muscle mass.Comparison of body measurements to the greek ideal. Both those were done in private.The we each performed 5 sets of varied pull up and 5 sets of varied pushups in the lane outside. In total something like 800 pull ups and close to 2000 pushups took place. I have a note with the exact numbers somewhere. Everyone was well ****** by the end of that.Then there was the posing part, which was in fancy dress. The winner was dressed up as Irene Cara from Flashdance, resplendent leotard in and mauve leg warmers. Finally there was a beer necking contest.

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 at least you didn't have to go home and burn your eyes out, like some of the front-row crowd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Incidentally, as I've already had to delete one of them, can people please NOT post images of the on stage section of the Mr Moorings contest.Teabags' cock is not acceptable for family viewing...

Metarie Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 It wasn't just the first row *shakes head*Awesome night though, fucking great atmosphere. Can we expect a Miss Moorings contest to follow up? Probably featuring Teabags in drag...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Fudge Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 surely the moorings ladies have too much self respect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 look what you did: Dollar-Sent have split up. is it because of the naked oiled men?"Dollar Sent split August 2008 . . I'm sad to say it's true. Dollar Sent are no more. After 4 years we felt that it was time to call it a day here at Dollar Towers. Due to personal and professional differences it became clear that we could no longer work together as a band. The decision was made whilst on our last tour that we would be drawing a line under Dollar Sent and moving on. But never fear for there is a silver lining to this cloud. Myself and Sparky will continue to work together under a new (as yet undecided) name, and trust me you won't have to wait long before we are back out attacking your eardrums with our own particular brand of rock'n'roll. Work on the new project is some way down the road, so you really won't have to wait very long at all. There is also a limited number of our CD still available through here and the Ampwitch site. However once they're gone they're gone!! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have supported us over the years. Thanks to everyone who has given us shows, come to the shows, brought the stuff and generally help us along the way.I hope that you will enjoy our new projects as much. So, many thanks and goodbye."
