Our Dave Grohl Story
Last Saturday we popped down to our local Sainsbury Local on Holloway Rd for a few bits for dinner. The first sign something was a foot was a tour bus parked in the bus lane outside the shop. Interesting we thought....
Inside there were a couple of American rockers walking around in T-shirts and leather jeans talking to the locals, example conversation: hey, my names Kurt (maybe not the right name). Is this GOOD Cheese? Right, cool - where do I find the crackers?
Well it was all too much for us and I egged Annie into approaching them, here is roughly how the conversation went:
Annie: Hi, can I just ask which band you''s are with ?
Rocker: Hi there. I'm with a couple of bands, The Foo Fighters and The Queens of the Stone Age.
A: Really! [jaw its floor]
Rokcer: Yeah, Dave Grohl is on the bus but he's just flown in to the country and is asleep now.
A: Ahhh, that's a shame
R: Yeah, Dave's having a baby and things are tough right now. We're heading up to Birmingham for a show tomorrow
A: I was at The Astoria gig...
R: Yeah, that was an awesome show! Anyway it was nice to meet you.
And with that he disappeared onto the bus and it sped away. Was Dave really on the bus? Had we really seen his cheese and crackers? I checked the NME and the Foo's were playing Birmingham the next day.
And now for my Dave Grohl Joke
Question: What does Dave Grohl do when he's got a hangover?
Answer: He takes "a little bit of Resolve"
Goodnight - I thank you!

Hi Nige!
Coincidentally, I seem to remember Tony has some odd connection to Dave Grohl. He may have already told you about this, but if he hasn't, ask him.
