Modern Toss - Customer Services
Happy Birthday to Paul as we tried out some free all nighter at Al Duomo on Friday night. Can't quite say whether it will catch on having banging tech-house in a restaurant. The soapy Tuacas mostly put us off but mainly the decor and lighting stopped us from really going for it. Saturday was the always welcome visit to Wagamamas with a stop at the legal high shop in Sydney Street then down Paul's basement to try out my new laptop for DJing.
Modern Toss
Last Sunday we saw Modern Toss - A Night Of Edwardian Chamber Filth at the Old Market, Hove which was part of the Fringe entertainments. The evening cocked up before even seeing it as I got the location completely wrong so had to walk a mile across town thinking we'd miss about 20 minutes. Luckily, the ticket got the time wrong and we were able to get a drink and get a decent seat.
It was Fantastic! Basically it was a clip show presented on stage to some classical music from a live string quartet and pianist. Simon Greenall was the compere and voice of the Mr. Tourette and his cat. Simon who? You've probably more familiar with his Geordie motel character from I'm Alan Partridge or his voice in those Weetabix adverts, Churchill Insurance, he's the dog, "Oh yes!" and more recently as a famous meerkat, "don't even sound same!"
He was joined by the voice of 'driver-by-abuser' David Schaal quoting the following catchphrases:
- "You're a traffic light, yeh? Changing colours, yeh? Yeh, fucking looks like it an' all."
- "Well good luck to ya, 'cause I wouldn't have the fucking nerve."
- "Why not though eh? It's your life innit?"
- "See ya around, yeh?"
