So if my friend entered using my phone, I would have to lend him my phone to go if he won?

[Ballbag]

No if your friend entered using your phone, and won...... then you tell him he lost and go yourself.

[Yudster]

But I don't want to go, please don't make me.....!

[Boboff]

What ever happens, your phone would have to go.
Your premenstrual blonde coming out again love ?

[Yudster]

No, just don't like karaoke!

[Ballbag]

With 1000 + people ther Yudyud, I think you could probably get away with not singing.

I love Karaoke.......... my repetoire is it's tricky by Run DMC, Bat out of Hell - Meat Loaf and for the ladies Hello - Lionel Richie. That always get's em going...... Mrs Ballbag doesn't like me singing that........ she does get jealous.

[DemonHorse]

I love Karaoke.......... my repetoire is it's tricky by Run DMC,

For karaoke, I find It's Like That is easier, Tricky is umm..... tricky.

That's the beauty of it, if you can nail it........ you're on to a winner.

There's a youtube video floating about somewhere of a best man at a wedding doing a word perfect full rendition of rapper's delight by the sugar hill gang...... now that is cool.

[DemonHorse]

Uber-cool.

*is off to try find the vid to It's Like That with all the breakdancing

[Yudster]

I like to sing, and I can (pretty well, actually) - I just don't like pre-recorded backing. Mr Yudster won a karaoke competition once with a beautiful rendition of Ebeneezer Goode. It was a beautiful thing. I've done them a few times, but I don't like them. I think maybe I don't get drunk enough first, maybe thats the key.

Mrs Topher belts out a fantastic version of Montserrat Caballé's part of Barcelona. She can sing but she doesn't think she can.

[Yudster]

Wow, if you could do the Freddie bit, you'd be set for life!

[MK Chris]

I sound more like Freddie Kreuger than Freddie Mercury.

[pjordan2000]

My main hits are Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire and anything from Lionel Ritchies Back to Front album. And to complete the night, i round off with Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up! Now is that not a good line up or wot?

[foot-loose]

I noticing a significant lack in texts messages from Radio One!

This isn't part of the script!

same here. i only texted twice though, so not really surprised.

[foot-loose]

Hmm, I texted a fair bit more than that. But I always give them money anyways, so I figured I might as well do by texting instead!

Still - you could always sing a song for Mr Mills if your up for it...

[SAV1OUR]

Come on, somebody win us some tickets, I dont have a camera that can be captured onto my PC, everything else I have it, editing software, a broadband connection and an extreme desire to make an arse of myself for all to see. i have decided upon Razorlight's In the Morning its upbeat and yer can really get worked up performing it.

Failing all of that if I dont manage to go out and buy a digital camera theres always the prospect of all the losers forming a special club with a secret knock for entry, you may even post here, simply log-out, and be annonymous and spout drunken ramblings of protest.

If thats not your thing then just buy the comic relief dvd and humble yourself with the serious bit of the dvd, and realise that karaoke is a foreign concept to the starving and the weird old geezer down the road from you who may well be getting your donated money.

[Ballbag]

Brother ballbag has just won tickets apparantly........... jammy git. He also won tickets to Live 8 when they did that, and so did pappa ballbag. I think they've both got mystical lucky phones.

Pappa ballbag decided that he didn't want to hit the traffic leaving Live 8, and so left about 2 hours before the end. What a waste of two tickets.

[Yudster]

That is a very "parent" sort of thing to do, isn't it? I'm clearly a dreadful parent, because I wouldn't dream of leaving until the end!

[Ballbag]

Papa ballbag is uber sensible.

[SAV1OUR]

I decided I couldnt be bothered to dash down the road to the cashpoint and top-up my phone before 10am, I had texted twice before and ran out, I regret my un-arsedness now as it is a waste of 2 more wasted quid of credit. No, seriously I dont think I'm much of a gambler however in hindsight I was tempted to have 20 goes like some person did and have my efforts pay off as that person won, so well done to whoever that was, jammy thing.

[Yudster]

I'd rather keep the £20. I'm one of those organised types with an annual charity budget, and I give using Gift Aid - its the most tax efficient method, you know! I don't do ad-hoc donating, expecially to things like Comic Relief where I don't know exactly where the money is going.

[SAV1OUR]

If we all made the effort we could just go round the houses and say, yep you look poor, no you're smug you cant have any. How do I know you're not just drunk for the night and not homeless?? Oi, ryanair, how much to africa? 3p? Right, yer on, I wanna see these people, right you're at deaths door there yer go, you just smiled and waved at me, and I saw you running around just before, get to the back of the queue.

Obviously this is not possible I do believe that comic relief does brilliant stuff in Africa but I also believe in the concept of knowing your community, giving money to somebody who needs it but you dont know them (they live round the corner from you ffs) seems a bit hollow, its your doorstep. Theres this place over the road from me, I'd bore myself to tears if I was a regular but maybe I should attend this churchy type place and get to know what sort of people (mainly families and stuff) go there, just a thought, at this point, but I'll put it on my to do list, its up there with eco friendly ideas and phoning my auntie up *ponders*

[DemonHorse]

The only charities I give to are Comic Relief and Cancer Research, because otherwise you'll end up giving all your spare change away to all the people on the street with tins and end up having to walk home because the bus won't take £20 notes.

The best one is when someone says they have no change, I've heard the collector say "Oh I can change a note if you like..."
