Three groats..?

Ah..! Soooooo..! Now it's regular dice, is it..? How stupid of me; I thought you meant six-sided dice. Now, if you had made any mention of regular six-sided dice, with no '7' face, you may have had a point (note the 'may'...). Never mind. Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

This is what happens when one is so 'pretty sure'. One gets shown up for an arrogant fool, or mad.

These are vacant platitudes, not absolute truths. There's not really much depth to replies of the sort. Still, if posts have to be posted, post away. If some change of folk's opinion is expected, you're mad.

Where was your thumb, though..?

A second-hand Millennium MPS-850 e-drum kit, still boxed, and at a splendid price. A very nice kit.

It makes one regret the good ol' days of Exchange & Mart.

Originally (and still by some...) called a 'tug bar', it helped keep the bass vertical, and anchored the hand for playing with one's thumb. Here's some typical pictures of exponents at the time...

Not a thumb rest, originally, but a finger rest; the strings were plucked with the thumb, principally. Things evolved, however.

Shuffling a pack of cards..?

Err... 'Think'..? ...

When buying new, I have them bring out half-a-dozen or so, and I try 'em each in turn, with a light touch at first, then a bit of a thrashing. However, I'm no longer welcome, apparently, at the Aston Martin works.

You are Winston Churchill and I claim my £5.

... or maybe complete and utter apathy. I'm not sure that folk in general, all around the country, will 'do' anything. Things will just simply evolve of their own accord, following whatever the Future brings. Serendipity, I'd say, is more of a driver than any 'movement'. I may be wrong, of course, as could anyone else be.

Fixed.

Now you tell me..!

Just a reminder... Top-right of every post there is a very discreet button, with three simple dots. This gives access, amongst other functions, to the 'Report' window, in which one may explain, briefly, the reason for the Report (uncouth language, insults, overt political stance and the like...). These Reports come to the attention of the Mods and Admin, and are always read and taken seriously. It's one of the reasons that this Forum is kept so User friendly. Just a reminder.

'Rational discussion is useful only when there is a significant base of shared assumptions.'

It would appear that Basschat is on the list, to judge from much of the posting of late.

One day I will understand, but today is not that day.

It may well be a different story, there. Pretty much all the post these days has to be entered into and checked off on 'phone app thingies; our own postie (a lovely bright spark of a lady...) has to sit in the van scanning stuff, and sending out 'Your parcel is arriving..!' and 'Your parcel has been delivered..!' nonsense. They're not playing Tetris, nor chatting on-line; just filling the ether with 'information', imposed upon them by 'Those That Know'. S'not an easy job, I'd say.
