This may be old. It may even be bogus. Perhaps The Court or a Drag Queen could tell us about their current workchoice agreements. $80 does sound a bit low for these times. They forgot to add, “Break a leg. X X X.” at the end. I don’t know whether these stringent conditions are even possible. No repeat of songs for 12 months? What, you’ve got half a dozen Abbas, a couple of Kylies, One Gloria Gaynor, some Bathory and that’s it. Even one show a month would put a big strain on the setlist.
(Icily) I believe you performed Waterloo 9 months ago. NO SHOWS FOR YOU!” It certainly puts the kybosh on the “I will survive” marathon. I like that drink scamming only gets you 6 months, but repeating a song gets you 12. Nice. By MM.

As it happens, the old two storey place on the right was my family doctor’s surgery when I was chiaking, and I’d always be bought jelly beans from the pharmacy as some kind of compensation.
