Ditto George Hobbs

Joe Forbes did a guest appearance for Pete Rose's 40th birthday. Joe came along dressed as a woman - make up, all the bit. I must point out that there was no reason for him doing this. Love him dearly, but Joe was/is an ugly man, but as a woman he is hideous. Like everyone else, I've been to many a dodgy bar and seen prize dogs, transvestites and everything in between. But, I have never come across anything as unnerving as Joe Forbes in a frock and lipstick.

As for the t-shirt, at Chatham I wore mine for just over 2 years without a dhobi, including the hot summer of '76. Nevertheless, stood next to Stu and Twink, you wouldn't have noticed the smell. However, the old shirt was showing holes and I knew it would be attacked at some point, so I wore a new T-shirt and stuck the old one in the bottom of my cere suit cover. And there it stayed for nearly 20 years until I went outside and tearfully put it in a bin in East Barracks. Age had wearied them and the years condemmed, because it had rotted so badly.

I'm pretty sure you were a member! (Er, sorry - maybe a wrong choice of word there!)

No, it wasn't a super pigs shirt as that was kept back for special occasions. Although I lived in a slum in Rochester and not Strood, I was a member by dint of the fact I designed the pig following the success of the Biff Beaver character for the dog end T shirt. I still have both T shirts, have you?

I remember the dustbin better...

That particular shirt didn't last too long, nobody understood it once I'd left Northolt (about 2 months after the photo.)

So it went into the bin with the crappy horn.

I've got that horn again now though - it's still crap even though it is a Paxman. I don't even use it to practice on.

Thinking about turning into an uplighter or plant holder (thanks for the idea Dee!)

Oh - by the way, I got the shirt made up at the Hillingdon show, just before turning the gizzit rabbits into BBQ and Curry. (Andy!!)
