Robbie will never sound the same again ...

Tonight on Black Belt, we decided to try an after dinner quiz for the first time.  Despite OUTRAGEOUS cheating on Mr FitzPatrick's part and my team being unfairly denied a bonus point for having the excellent name of 'the kick ass comms chicks', it was almost neck and neck by the time we got to the music round.

So when we offered double points for the first team who offered to sing a Robbie Williams song of our choice after the round, we were nearly knocked over in the rush. After much arguing and shouting, we agreed to let all three teams sing one by one and award the double points to the best one.

Oh dear!!

I thought the second team took some beating for sheer tunelessness, but the sound of the entire room then joining in at full volume for the final chorus very nearly brought tears to my eyes. And I REALLY wish we'd had a camera with us to capture the full arm-waving effect.

So a very good time had by all this evening, nicely finished by one lovely table giving me their flowers, which are now sitting here beside me in my room!  I'm just so easily pleased, really ...  Although it's not quite up there with the time one group pestered the kitchen staff for two small baskets, filled one up for Liam with the mini-moisturisers everyone collected from their rooms and the other one for me with the chocolate mints they saved from dinner, stuck plastic flowers on the top and presented them to us with great ceremony at the end of the course. Aww. Now I know what teachers must feel like at the end of term.

Night all.

Awww come on Sue, this story is missing the vital element - which Robbie songs were sung? I went to see him in Brisbane just before Christmas and was surrounded by people of all ages belting out the lyrics to all the hits. My ears were ringing for days....

Hi Alex,

Ah yes, good point. Just the one - Angels. It's actually Liam's party piece and I had to keep telling him to shut up when he was singing over the top of everyone else. He's such a quiet, shy, retiring type.
