Columbo!

[Scarlett]

Just had a band rehearsal and at one point my friend said it was like "having bloody Columbo in the band" when I gave an opinion! I have no idea what he meant as I don't know who Columbo is!! Any ideas?

[La Diva]

Maybe this one?

Columbo was an American tv detective from the 1970s - 1990s. He had a habit when questioning suspects of making them feel like they were getting away with the crime, and as he was leaving would say " ..and one more thing" leaving the suspect believing that Columbo knew more than he had let on about.

How that fits in with your band is up to you to decipher.

Were you wearing a raincoat and smoking a cigar? - that could have prompted it.

Or did u have one eye closed and a fat basset hound with you? Oh and one more thing, did you talk in a wise guy type voice?

[Kendo]

Maybe it was Cristopher Colomo the famous

explorer. :-)

Well, Columbo was always dressed like a tramp, but I can't believe that applies to you Scarlett, in any sense of the word..
Columbo used to hold his forehead whenever he asked a question, or offered an opinion and he also smoked cheap cigars.
I think your friend is cruising for a bruising.

Are you sure they weren't talking about the largest city and commercial capital of Sri Lanka?
Just a thought!

Ha ha thanks. halfadaily hits the nail on the head. We had practiced a song, and just as everyone thought it was perfect I said at the end "Just one more thing..." and added another harmony bit.

Thanks!
