Alvin Lee Message & Discussion Board
Thanks for joining in the conversation!
Nah, I think it will be much more fun to find out what he thinks I look like...although being Reg, I'm sure he knows there is one old photo of me floating around on the web somewhere - at least there once was.
Hey, Robin! Care to join Lynn and Toni and me in our magical hystery game of "Musical Chairs"? :-) And I just remembered Freddy also wants to sit next to Toni. Heck (to quote our valiant queen), maybe we should ALL take turns sitting next to each other?? If our intrepid tour guide and host will allow, that is. I wouldn't mind sitting next to Wagstaff some of the time! I'm sure he and I'd get around to plotting the Overthrow of the Known Universe SOONER or later! Heh hee hoo-boy! How 'bout it, noble travel compagnons? :-)
DLM: Hey! Brass buttoned, blue blazer, British boy ... is there a john on this bus, or what?
Reg consults his list again.
Reg: Er, not yet DLM. But I'm expecting one at any minute.
A group of three prime, US males approaches the steps. This is what is meant by 'beefcake'. Frankly, they may as well be Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone, for all the difference it would make. In fact, however, they are John Kenney, Dave Mayberry and Victor.
Reg: Welcome aboard guys. Glad you could make it.
John: Going well so far, Reg?
Reg: Well, let's say it's having its moments. Cough.
Dave: Bet you're wishing you hadn't started it now!
Reg: Well, the thought had crossed my mind.
Victor: Keep going dude. We're all rooting for ya!
Reg: Thanks guys. Find your seats. We'll be moving off soon.
And they are followed by another hunky threesome. Who is this? Could it be Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal and Arnold Schwarzt ... Shcwartz ... er, Arnie? No. But who needs them when you've got Jeremy Jackson, Stan and Glenn?
Reg: Hi guys! You'll find your seats down on the left, there. You see where DLM has planted that small Stars and Stripes into the back of the headrest of the seat in front? That's the area for 'Mercan males. And I fine place to be, it is too.
Another man breathlessly races up the steps.
BS: Phew! Glad to be finally on board, Reg.
Reg does not recognise this particular ... er, dude.
Reg: And this is ...?
BS: Why, this is me. BS. You wanna guess what my initials stand for?
Reg: I'd rather not. This is a family website. But you'll find your fellow countrymen down there on the left. Y'all be having a good time, now!
BS gives Reg a strange look - and then goes to join the guys.
'Nearly done', thinks Reg, 'nearly done'. And the last few passengers approach the bus. Reg looks out. In the group he spots the two remaining ladies. 'But which is Lynn and which is Toni?' he can't help but wonder.
Reg, should the bus become a little crowded - I'll volunteer to drive considering I've spent a good portion of my life in the bus business.
Hi Laurie, I would be simply delighted! Thank you. 
Just so you all know, witty repartee is not my strong suit. I am uninhibited in cyberspace, but in person, I am actually a quiet little mouse, until I feel comfortable, and then... I need my friends to kick me under the table sometimes when I forget I am in public. 
Wonderful, Robin! :-) We should have plenty to catch up about, since we sort of accidentally lost touch for awhile... ;-)

Re: The Magical Hystery Tour - chapter 3.
Was just wondering how many more seats are left Reg. Would be interesting to see how you think I would be dressed, or even if I'm expected on the tour.
Reg's on a hysterycal break
Tee very ho ho ho, Jeremy!! Good fractured pun the other day to Robin about the "mistery" tour, too ! ;-)
