Drew Busby ! Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Only done it once and that was back at the start of the year.

Buffalo Bill Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I love a bit of Karaoke. Would say the Eagles' 'Best of my Love' or 'Desperado' are my favourites. I'm not that good but with eight or nine pints in me I feel like I am born to sing.* *Ok, maybe three pints. Or four shandies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychocAndy Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Done it once, seemingly 2 songs. Get it on (Bang a gong) by T- Rex I was better than I thought I would be, about 8 pints, and Try a little tenderness, no idea because I cant remember doing it but the in laws both swear I done it and done it well, god knows how many I'd had then.
