A drummer gets fed up with the lead guitarist always telling him to go faster, go slower, etc, and stomps off saying "I've had enough! I'm going to play guitar and start my own band!"
He goes into a shop and says "I want a Fender Stratocaster, with double pick-ups, and an amp, and leads, and a plectrum and a spare set of strings, and a tuner."
The shopkeeper looks at him and says, "You're a drummer, aren't you?"
The drummer says "Why yes, how could you tell?"
The shopkeeper says "This is a greengrocer's..."
It‘s an Ukulele that I‘ve been learning to play X-(
How fun! I have a Masters in Ukulele Performance. I was 23 and thought to myself "what is the biggest waste of my time I can think of?" This website is not formatted well but I use it with my students: http://www.doctoruke.com/songs.html
To be boringly pedantic, Formby usually played a banjolele rather than a ukulele. In my band, we use both a ukulele and a banjo (on different songs) and they're distinct instruments- the banjolele is a compromise.
As a present to myself I bought a 1920's banjolele with a metal resonator back. I named him Otis because it looks like something a hobo would play on a train. Otis seemed like a good hobo, train hopper name.

Did Otis become a hobo when the bottom fell out of his elevator business?

It's snowing here at the moment so I'll have a hot chocolate please
I drive home from work along country lanes with a lot of sharp bends with deep ditches at either side, one of my colleagues wished me a safe journey adding, " you wouldn't want to accidently slip into a Dyke" to which I replied " no, I don't think she would be very happy about that" )

We think the crew may be trapped in the ice flow submarine on sea bed!'
That day, with a real Thunderbird 4.2 sailing down the Thames, I had a feeling something special was going to happen. Then it did!
Incidentally, I strongly reccomend today's episode Rigged For Disaster at 16.20. In one senae a little bit DAF. In a good way!
What is everyone having to drink?
