Teh Quo
About ten years ago I used to hang around on a MUG called IOWA - Input/Output World of Adventures. I'd play a game called Prodigy with a bunch of other nutters, and we ended up getting on really well.

I really can't remember how this happened, but one time we ended up talking about Status Quo and I can remember joking about them.

Fast forward to a month later when the matriach of the game tells a few close friends that she has a surprise present for us. Two weeks later I raced home from Cardiff - weekend away meeting some friends - and met up with everyone at Wembley tube station.

I asked what the present was, only to be told to wait. We walked up the road and turned the corner to be greeted with the sight of Wembley Arena covered with huge posters of Status Quo at their rockin' best.

I couldn't beleive my eyes.

We wandered in and took our seats, surrounded by Quo fans, several of whom had blow up guitars. The warm up act came and went and the stars of the show came on. They rocked it for a while, and I fell asleep in my seat because the trip back from Wales was very tiring.

I was so freaked out by the present of a Quo Concert. I didn't really know how to react. I mumbled a thanks at the end and raced off to the tube station.

I got to Liverpool Street to find that the last train to Harlow had gone, so I dove back on the Central Line to Epping. The tube stopped at Theydon Bois or somewhere else in the middle of nowhere. I had to get a cab to take me to an ATM in Epping to clean out my bank account so I pay for the cab back to Harlow.

That ticked me off, so I ranted on the MUG, and the lady who arranged the trip didn't talk to me for two months. Heh. I did later apologise for being such a tosser after she arranged it all thinking we were total Quo fans...
