  1. Soooooo, a bit like 'sick'..?
  2. £13 19s 10d should be 'converted' to £13 99p, or rounded up to £14.
  3. Did you mean 'string of wurst sausages'..?
  4. This is our main bass amp (we have others...), a Hiwatt PA head, 200w of KT88 valves. Headroom to the sky, and clean all the way up. Power..? It can double as a concrete buster for reducing war-time Omaha Beach bunkers to dust. We seldom need, nor want, to dial up beyond 9 o'clock. The HH cab helps, of course. How much does it all weigh..? A little less than Jupiter (but not much...)...
  5. The best Hiwatt amp is Hiwatt.
  6. ... and still none that will fit..!
  7. ... and why Sunbury, I was thinking. Shepperton Studios are nearby, but that's a long way away, no..?
  8. Stuff the stereo..! That drum..!
  9. The leads are not usually long enough to tie people in, anyway.
  10. 'Reported', to give Admins a chance to tidy up the spaffing. 'Report' is your friend.
  11. Here is my contribution to the October 2022 Basschat Composition Challenge, inspired by a picture chosen by one of the previous winners: Upside Downer. The tiny tots have not yet learned (been told...) about the Law of Physics and the Real World. Nothing, to them, is impossible, or even odd... Another MDrummer track for the percussion, the instruments are an Asper synth pad and Augmented Strings. Voices are all synthetic, using EmVoice and on-line Text To Speech samples, Little treatment, other than a bit of compression/EQ on the voices (and a dab of delay on one...), and my standard Reaper NY Glue on the Master tracks, as usual. The whole thing is in 9/8, just for fun. Thanks for listening, if you already have; if you're about to, enjoy. Here's the spoken text... As long as they believe. I'll be in the airs. Keeping just above Their innocent stares. As long as they believe. As long as they believe. Newton's laws have ended. Hovering above. Gravity suspended. As long as they believe. They believe I can fly. They believe I can touch the sky. They believe I can soar. They believe in me and so much more. As long as they believe. I'll be overhead. Floating here above The little ones in bed. As long as they believe. As long as they believe. Up here I shall remain As I levitate above. Although it seems insane. As long as they believe. They believe I can fly. They believe I can touch the sky. They believe I can soar. They believe in me and so much more. As long as they believe As long as they believe. As long as they believe. As long as they believe. .
  12. I know it's only a 'regional accent', but I can never get used to the transatlantic pronunciations of many words. Singing 'Smoke on the Waaarder' grates on my cloth ears, despite the innovative 'laid back' treatment, which is otherwise fine enough. S'not just this fellow, of course; how many TV series are made painful for me by so such talk as 'Oh, my guard..! It came as such a shark to my darder'. OK, it's just me; I'll shut up now.
  13. Your dream, and not someone else's... ... although, to be fair, there are roles, and agencies, for actors with 'difficult' features. Shoshannah Stern is deaf, but has a splendid career in acting, and we see quite a lot of Rosie Jones. Just a couple of examples.
  14. They have indeed; thanks for that. A quaint 'really old school' drum set (traps kit..?). My hearing is now 'shot', but even 'back in the day', I could never hear the sound of those mini tubular bells racks. Presumably a tinkling melodic descent, but wasted on me. Never mind, that 's just a tiny personal detail; the modest, laid-back singing (and sympathetic musicianship from the backing...) makes a great change, and a treat compared to much of today's 'live' output. Good Stuff; very Good Stuff.
  15. What is this 'mobile phone' of which you speak..? ...
