"Sheri, is that you? Remember me? We have met before. (aside: 'No.') You are famous, right?(another aside: 'No!') Here, take my picture with Sheri (said to a friend of this crazy man). Remember when we met? One year ago, outside L.A. (aside: 'Mandy, did you set me up?' 'No, Mom!') You were really drunk at the time. That is why you don't remember." Now I KNEW she set me up!!!! Everyone started laughing, including Mandy and the crazy Swedish man. When I was in the restroom they cooked up this little joke on Mom. Mandy said it was all his idea.
These 4 crazy Swedes were in Liverpool, claiming that they were performing the next night at the Cavern Club (the club where the Beatles got their start). They said their band is called Roxette and they had a song in Pretty Woman. Then the bartender brought us shots of Sambuca, which is NASTY. They tried to get us to stay and they would buy us more drinks, but we politely declined and got out of there!
It was really cool to be in the Cavern Club though. And we took a ferry across the Mersey River. We got to Liverpool on the train, about 2 1/2 hours each way for just a one day trip. The English people that heard we did that in one day were amazed. They don't travel that far without spending the night. They can't comprehend that driving the freeways for that long in one day is pretty commonplace in California, unfortunately.

LOL---that's too funny!!!!!
Are you going to come home???? You are having so much fun that I am afraid I will never see you again!
I remember Roxette! Wasn't the song "It Must Have Been Love"? Sounded like "It mussa bin lahve" with their accents.
You got it! I told Mandy you would know who they are and you didn't disappoint. And that was exactly the accent when they sang it for us - and Mandy told them she had never seen Pretty Woman. Just crushed their egos right then and there.
