Elvis has not left the building

Yes- was Elvis at pub on Friday night. Evidenced by trailer parked outside with huge photographs advertising himself. Sadly, once again, not many people came to see him. Two and I sat waiting for the Bounding Into View of a black leather clad Elvis, (going on previous experience), with Two facing away from strobe lights in case triggered epileptic fit. (Never has). Thankfully. Suddenly glimpsed black head moving through bar area, thus debunking theory he climbed in through window. Frantic and extremely loud build-up reached ear-drum perforating crescendo, and Elvis sprang into view, black leather clad (as expected), and bursting into first medley, whilst pretending to play guitar. I must say, given the very sparse audience, (again more people outside pub than in), I have to admire the professional manner in which Mr Presley went through his sets. From black leather start to crimson jewel encrusted finish, he gave it his all. Attention to detail included dazzling ring for Las Vegas set. A few of us, (there were only a few of us), got up and danced. including vivacious lady on crutches, who I later discovered had contracted polio when a child. She invited Two to jive, and as he whirled round, caught him a glancing blow on the mouth with one of her crutches. Poor Two, but he took it well, as crutches made of light aluminium, so didn't take out front teeth. At end of evening, Elaine, (Barmaid of The Decade), me, and a couple of other ladies, got up and formed a chain to give Elvis a vote of thanks, by dint of swaying side to side and screeching back the chorus of 'The Wonder of You'. I think he liked it.

Home with ringing ears, and Two suffering slight deafness again. Is very loud must
admit.

Note to self. Do not drink one pint lager again. Spent all night getting up to pee.
