Don't Let Your Old Folks Do This

As you moaned last Sunday that I didn't post a photo of me playing with my geriatric friends in the studio, this week Jann took a couple, so suffer!
Here you go.
Disreputable old folks dicking around.

Remember, girls and boys; if you are a musician, do the decent thing and give it up at thirty. Otherwise you might end up like this.

Dive and Michael.
Handsomest men on the planet!

Clive, Dive and Michael play "Reelin' In The Years", but reel in the decades instead.

Relaxing downstairs (the big room under the studio).

So this is what happened to the Sex Pistols - I often wondered!!!!

When is the album to be released - can we all fly over for the launch???? I've got my old Sex Pistols outfit in mothballs - I would love to wear it again - for the right occasion of course!!!!

Scout said...

Old Folks indeed. You all look fine to me, but then I'm a middle-aged, gray-haired woman. My opinion may be suspect.

Is that Rod stewart sitting on that sofa in the room down stairs?

dive said...

I think you should put it on again, Jules and post photos!

Robyn; you're far too young to have your opinion taken seriously by us wrinkly-faced reprobates.

Rich: That's Jann. She may look like someone wired her hair to the mains, and she may dress like an Australian's nightmare, but she can play the sax so sweet it makes grown men weep.

Is Jann your girlfriend? xxx Mme xxx

Maria said...

That last picture just begs for a bong on the table.....

Isadora said...

:) Yeah, funny how those years turn into decades. Who'd of thought. Looks like they still know how to have a good time. :)

That first picture is a really nice one of you - and it's really nice to see Michael again - shame he pulled the face! The goatee really looks good on him - you should take a leaf out of his book and get yours back!!

dive said...

Mme: Hee hee. No, Jann is not my girlfriend. She is married to Chris, the drummer and they own Trellis Studio. It is in a lovely old thatched cottage and they live in the end of it that you cannot see.
They also have a DVD editing and mastering suite in an outshot (and Chris's brewery, of course).
As you can see from Sydney Opera House on the wall, they spend large chunks of their year in Oz with their relatives; the lucky so-and-sos!

Maria: the bong is in the dresser in the dining room (true).

Isadora: If you check back to last year's Christmas party at the studio you'll see that we know how to have a BAAAAAD time, too. Hee hee.

Thank you, Pea. The goatee's not coming back; it puts ten years on me. And Michael changes his face fungus every time I see him. A few months back he was into moustache wax and had a magnificent, twirly, Salvador Dali effort on his upper lip. He would keep his moustache wax on top of his keyboard and wax the ends between songs … Which, as you know with Michael, is fairly normal behaviour.

Joy said...

Hahaha! Do you feel your age, or do you feel the same as you were 25 years ago?

Bloody Hell, Dive, after all that grumbling and Pommie Bastard whining about your age, it turns out you are the youngest looking 49-er in the whole country.
In Australia, the 35 year old hotties would be beating a track to your door. Mate, you'd have to fight them off.
We need girls' schools, - get on yer bike, cobber !

I really want to come join in but I don't think I meet the baldness requirements just yet!

I'll just be the beer wench instead.

dive said...

Joy, mentally I feel nineteen; physically I feel every one of my forty-nine years.

Monsieur B: flattery will get you everywhere with this old goat.
Unfortunately, the 35 year old hotties over here beat a path in the opposite direction when I'm around. Hey ho.

Vic, the beer fridge is under the mixing desk. Drink yourself into a stupor, then we'll shave you a bald patch and you can join us.

Neponset River Bridge Dig said...

I agree with maria about the bong dive...cmon where is it??

dive said...

Like I told Maria: it's in the dresser in the dining room.

Vic said...

I've already got a bald patch, Dive. But I'll let you guys put one on my head, anytime.

I was attacked by a child with a bag of make-up while I was drunk in Planet Newy last weekend and I lived not only to tell the tale but to see the pictures as well. Giving me an honourary bald patch is probsbly preferable.
