A BARMAN at a London club has just found out the five pissed women he watched howl their way through a song was in fact a momentous 90s reunion.
James Bates, aged 21, was covering a private members’ function on Saturday and witnessed the women clamber on stage and slur their way through a Spice Girls track, as happens at the majority of 50th birthday parties.
However, he discovered while browsing Instagram this morning that these particular women, even though they knew no more of the words and hit no more of the notes, were in fact the five who originally sang the song.
He said: “The actual Spice Girls? Was it? You’d never have known.
“One of them wasn’t even singing, the one in the leopardskin was so hammered she was at least two lines behind at any point and the blonde looked like she just wanted to be at home in bed, so it was exactly the same as it usually is.
“Now I think of it the redhead did spend all night bitching about what a bastard her husband is, leopardskin kept saying ‘No, but we should get back together properly’, and birthday girl’s tattooed husband grimaced at the very thought.
“Otherwise it was like any other 50th bash: loads of middle-aged moaning about kids, parents or medical problems, and I gave Eva Longoria one in the employee bathroom.”
