The Chequers at Fingest is under new management, Jackson and Emma, who were previously at the excellent Fox & Hounds at Christmas Common. Jackson was indisposed this evening, but Emma made us very welcome. I was less impressed by their dog the size of a horse, or even the smaller dog that toured the room while I was trying to play. At least it had a complete set of legs.

• John's rendition of a parody of Old Maui called Slowing Down To Lethargy - the theme of this was singing long songs very slowly. Excellent.
• Fred's latest point number called, I think, The Cricketers of Penn. This was a result of David's challenge after last week's cricketer-disrupted evening at the Prince Albert. 
• Martin's version of Paul McCartney's Blackbird
• David and Alison's unaccompanied version of Nagasaki (where the men chew tobaccy). It would not be appropriate to say that this song bombed.
