Rickenbacker Vacation Part Deux: London Calling

8mileshigh · Post by **8mileshigh** » Fri May 25, 2007 12:59 pm

Just got back from an evening at the Cavern, in Matthew Street. We had to leave early because Pete was getting very tired. We're staying at the Adelphi if anyone wants to buy us a beer, because Pete hasn't bought a round yet! No surprise there then eh Howard? Off to John & Paul's in the morning then Alisha's going to take me up the Casbah later in the afternoon. I think I'm going to need a good night's sleep

Pictures to follow (not of me being taken up the Casbah though!!)

If there were any moths flying around I'm guessing they must have been from Pete's wallet, eh Graham?

You guys are obviously having a great time....... party on, dudes!!

Back home now, I really enjoyed Alisha's company (pity I can't say the same about Graham's!

). She is a great girl and we would probably have ended up getting married by the end of the weekend if Graham hadn't been playing gooseberry all the time (the Beatles trip driver actually called her my wife on one occasion

).

I don't have any photos as due to a mid life technical error I carried my sat-nav around all day while my camera was safe back in the hotel room

.

Alisha and Graham are coming to stay with me tomorrow so I had to leave a day before them to tidy up, vacuum and dust. We have an all day outdoor blues festival on tomorrow and they are coming to see me make a fool of myself on stage (M.C.'ing not playing).

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes....................whoops...........no ...........still got my ear plugs in (I usually do around Pete!!) and I think it's the froth from my Guiness in my eyes!!

Did sooo much today. Photos to follow! Today.............John's house, Paul's house, Beatles Story at Albert Dock, Casbah Club (tour hosted by Roag and Rory Best), Strawberry Fields, Eleanor Rigby Grave, Penny Lane, The Philharmonic Pub (John's favourite), Ye Crack (John's student days pub)...........and loads more we can't remember!!

Graham,
This is all so much fun to read about...I can't wait for pictures.

John, they are too busy partying to upload the pictures at the moment, but I know that there are some really good ones and it will be worth the wait.

He was probably wondering how two old geezers wind up with a young, good looking gal.

Alisha, have they given you anything to eat yet?

Sounds like they're living on love and alcohol, Darren!

Hey Howard, Alisha is my bird, not Grahams!

Richard, at least the guy thought that she was my wife and not my daughter! I think that he thought that Graham was Alisha's dad!!!

Hahahaha!!! Well, Pete - when she was here there was no question....... I was her grandpappy!!
