Banding "funny":
Once went all the way to Watford to play in a competition only to
find that when he got on stage he couldn't get a note out of his
instrument.
In exasperation he turned it upside down to give up - at this point
someone
else's jumper fell out of the bell end. Needless to say Dad wasn't
amused.

bedroom
etc. and decorating.
