1 too many- Paddy

Pengu!ns (pronounced Penguins) are an awful, awful, awful, awful band. I know this because last night I saw them perform live at the O2 arena in London. Fortunatley, I hadn't gone to the O2 to see Pengu!ns so I did not feel my money had been wasted. Nor did I go to the O2 to see Miles Kane, who was better than I'd anticipated and actually had some songs I knew. No, the reason I (and by I, I mean myself, Alex, our large friend, our moan-y friend, our bald friend and our non-descript friend) went all the way to London was to see the band known to their friends, and everyone else, as Kasabian. Alex has mentioned them before, mainly about how he has a man-crush on the guitarist Serge. Its understandable, he looks like he has been crafted out of material that is at least 75% swagger and the rest of it being made up of guitar playing-ness. Anyway, whilst we were watching the band perform many, many songs, we also noticed some strange ebhaviour in the crowd. First of all, there was the man who fell down the stairs after having 1 drink in a plastic cup too many, and then there was the other man who kept trying to climb down the rows of seats, also having had 1 too many. But not all of the unusual behaviour was alcohol induced, one man a few rows behind us fell asleep for a good 20 minutes. A man who is clearly capable of sleeping through anything, I wish I was him.
Right, that'll do me for today. I'll see you at the weekend bbz.
