    ...and I used to read Excise Duty cases, mainly to laugh at the dreadful excuses put forward by people bringing a Transit full of assorted fags and booze saying it was for 'personal use' when it could be easily shown that they would need to be drinking a gallon of spirits and smoking a kilo of rolling tobacco a day to do so. People have done it and got away with it. but they are not fools at points of entry and you run the risk of having your purchase confiscated and losing everything. Similar to trying to get the seller to under declare on the import declaration, or just doing it thinking they are 'helping' you. Parcel gets pulled & Customs see your '63 Precision declared as a £150 Squier. Bye bye Precision & outlay

    Not that that makes any difference other than the courier cost, except 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Indeed. I still have good dealings with some that I have direct contact with, but I also know of a few from back in the day who were utter b'stards. It must also be said that the system nowadays is a joke, but again that's a different thread. I only come here for a warm happy glow

    That's why I never do private work for family, well except helping mum & dad out with the paperwork in the past, but otherwise no formal engagement. I might say 'this is what you need to do based on what you've told me' but not get involved in the minutiae.

    Rounded up. The amount was annoying me 🤣

    Gah I saw 'stairlift' and thought "I've got one I'm trying to get removed/sold"...then I read on. Ah well

    So where do we go to sign up for our loan of the Grabber? I mean I presume it'll be starting a round the world journey for borrows 🤣 Hope all the works get sorted and we can look forward to Iris appearance at the 2034 Olympics 🤘

    Got back from two nights and an overnight stay Friday at Trading Boundaries to see Raul Midón on Friday and Peter Jones / Tiger Moth Tales on Saturday. Wen with wifey, one of the guitarists in my main band and his missus and we made a short weekend of it. Two very different nights stylewise but both great evenings - the first just man / guitar / voice & percussion The second started with a short 'acoustic' one man set from Peter Jones and then a longer set with the Tiger Moth Tales band. Very accomplished and English prog.

    There's so many things I keep 'nearly' buying. Get a few more private clients finished and billed and we'll see 😁

    I keep coming back to this thread as a little place of solace and light in an increasingly cr@ppy world Tried to explain it to wifey who is the worlds biggest cynic and I was expecting the ghost of her mother's derisive snort to rear it's head. Actually I never got past "there's this bass for sale ad on BC at the moment..." and got no further. She's currently expecting a parcel with another bass in it to arrive any day now

    Great pedal. 🥰 I love mine with one exception being the markers on top of the knobs can be very difficult to see. GLWTS

    It’s certainly easier than the appliance from a couple of weeks ago 😁 Said appliance may be pressed into service again for my dep with the punk pirates next March

    Years ago we'd regularly stop for a burger or kebab on the way home. There was also one gig where the WAGs used to head off and get an order in at a curry house while we packed down. Said curry house even gave us a Christmas card one year as it was a fairly regular out of town gig for us Nowadays it's a spin straight home, forgoing the MaccyD's drive through, and cheese & beans on toast

    Probably. He hails from your neck of the woods originally I think, possibly a bit further on
