For no apparent reason that I could gather, Saturday morning saw a Punch & Judy show and a display of Scottish dancing by ladies and gentlemen of, um, a certain age in Abingdon marketplace. Followed by the band of the Abingdon Sea Scouts playing tunes on those dinky little xylophone-on-a-pole things they have, accompanied by rattetty-tattetty drums and a couple of basses. Tunes I recognised were the Blue Peter hornpipe, Highland Cathedral, and - the piece de resistance - The Surfaris' Wipe Out.
Bless.
Meanwhile, Cybermen Part 2 was considerably better with several surprises I didn't see coming. Just busy trying not to hate the guy who wrote it, for being 26.
correction please. They were sea CADETS. The distinction is crucial.
ReplyDeleteMany apologies. Cadets. (Had to admit that I didn't think the Sea Scouts had a marching band ...)
