We out on Thursday to the Red to check out their new Thursday night attraction, a “Rock Quiz.”

As I walked in the door the first question I heard was, “On what album, produced by Ian Hunter did Davis Bowie play the saxophone?”

Does anyone know stuff like that? If they do, are they allowed out of their institutions often?

Seriously, WTF? The answer should be, “Get a life.”

So we decided to give the Rock Quiz a miss and head off down the High Street. We ended up in the local Witherspoon’s bar, “The Standing Order.” This place gets its name from the fact it is a converted bank.

Anyway they are selling Green King IPA for 99 pence a pint and will be until April. It costs £2.55 a pint in the Red.

Result.

As you can imagine with beer selling at 99p a pint, the place was packed. With some of the clientèle looking as if they had seen better days. And that’s coming from someone who definitely knows about these things.

This explains why the “The Standing Order” is known locally as “The Bouncing Cheque.”

So for tonight’s music we have a David Bowie track I have no idea who played what on it, or who produced it. It is a great great track and music is for listening to, not answering dumb, boring trivia questions on.
