  1. One or two quite interesting ones in his shop.
  2. http://www.theglitterband.co.uk/ That website could do with updating, still uses Flash (woa-oh, he saved every one of us).
  3. The band I have recently parted company with wasn't called after the singer/guitarist, but it was very much his band, to the extent that the drummer and I got mere fleeting mentions on the website. One of my songs does feature on the CD that we did, so it wasn't complete blanking of other members' efforts, but it didn't seem like a band in any respect other than the music itself.
  4. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band without Alex? The Glitter Band? Individual circumstances differ, of course.
  5. At home, I put away the various bits and pieces I'd had out into the bagpipes box that my guitarist had given me, bent over to close it, and stuck like it. I was in my early 20s then. A day or two later I managed to get up to the pub, still bent over. Had a couple of drinks, and somebody passed a joint round. That was some relaxation that worked.
  6. And possibly the pen1s enlargement companies. Of course, he could say the water was cold.
  7. I had a chance to buy one a few decades ago. What a horrible instrument. If it had been nicer to play, I could have had my pension fund.
  8. There was one zombie thread a little while ago that I revived as the subject of it had mentioned it elsewhere (I think) . It finished up with me passing a bit of information between someone who'd come on here and someone I know from a newsgroup. This thread was the one:
  9. If you don't need to change the functions of the buttons, you don't need a screen. You just need space for a 5-pin DIN socket and a DC power socket.
  10. I use expensive couriers booked through brokers which brings the price down to very little more than cheap couriers. The broker gives me an option of which courier to use and I choose (it's almost always been UPS for pretty good reliability and insurance, at least IME). As I know which courier they're using and have a reference number for that courier, if anything goes wrong then contacting the courier direct means the message isn't being relayed out and then relayed back.
  11. How often have you used the alternative power supply? I've used an alternative with no issues. Does the HX FX work with the Diago PSU still? Could the Line 6 PSU be faulty? Or have slipped slightly out of the plug adaptor? Also, the Line 6 PSU is centre negative.

  13. The case would seem to fall at the first hurdle though, as throughout his life he has been celebrating and benefitting from being the world's most famous naked baby. It's one thing being a victim of sexual abuse and concealing it for years, it's another suddenly deciding that the photograph was effectively sexual abuse after flaunting it for decades.
  14. So, as somebody who doesn't think slavery should be celebrated, am I woke? And if so, am I then a bigot? And if I'm woke by not being racist, does that make the anti-wokes racists? I find it all very confusing.
  15. Natural. But the red looks more striking than the blue, which looks nearly as dull as Olympic White (which, let's face it, is White).
  16. Are they both red? For my most recent acquisition, bought a week before my birthday: Me: "You know you asked me what I'd like for my birthday?" Mrs Zero: "Yes" Me: "Could I have forgiveness please?" I really should sell one or two though. It's currently somewhere round the two dozen mark.
  17. Someone else missing that hasn't posted for a few years - @endorka who I think Mrs Zero is FB friended with.
  18. Yebbut the two aren't exactly comparable, as the Corbyn one is not just abuse but libellous. Change "Jew Hating" to "f*cking" and the two are equivalently abusive.
  19. If we're doing alternative spellings, you should consider "facist" as well.
  20. "Woke" appears to be a term which now encompasses all non-bigots. WTF does "woke culture" mean?
  21. A couple of decades ago there was a Tamworth band called "Rape in yellow", a reference to the vast expanses of rape fields that grew around. Of course, oilseed rape isn't the first thing you think of when you see the name. I don't recall anyone stating that they were offended though.
  22. It's certainly not safe now. Over half of Republican voters still believe that Trump won, and Republican states are busy messing with their electoral rules and officials to make sure the Democrats are locked out of them. Rather the same thing is happening in the UK. Kazakhstan is becoming a role model.
  23. To (approximately) quote Michael Flanders: "The word xenophobia comes from the Greek words phobos, fear or hatred, and xenos, foreigner, stranger, or guest. Hence xenophobia, a fear or hatred of guests".
