  1. Might they also be the wrong taper, lin instead of log (or vice versa)?
  2. The ongoing chart: https://www.hellorayo.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/the-500-greatest-rock-songs-of-all-time Up (or down) to number 368 as I type.
  3. Ibanez or Cort to make a neck-through headless, 34" scale, variants with 4, 5, and 6 strings, parallel frets, switchable active, HH, Ibanez SR series neck profile, fretless also available. Natural wood and solid colours. Roland to open-source project LYDIA: https://articles.roland.com/introducing-project-lydia/ PiPedal inna box. Raspberry Pi, the guts of a decent USB audio interface, a display (possibly touch-screen), some buttons, and some knobs.
  4. If you happen to like science fiction and fantasy, there's a few cats in SF. Heinlein comes to mind, and after checking, there's Pixel, Pirate, Petronius the Arbiter (aka Pete), Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Miss Polka Dot Ma’am (aka Miss Pokie), Dr.-Livingston-I-Presume, El Diablo, Mama Cat, and Mister Underfoot (some of these are excluded due to gender issues). There's Mr Jones in Alien. And there's also Greebo in various Terry Pratchett books. If he's scrabbling at furniture, how about Scrabble? And for the sake of your curtains and furniture, get a scratching post. Ours have a couple of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/354335902612?var=623735626888 and there's very little scratching at furniture and gig bags.
  5. Priorities, for heaven's sake.
  6. F10 headless looks ugly as a singlecut, couldn't they have done a doublecut as well (and preferably 34" scale)? And the M6 is only available as multiscale. Not for me.
  7. I don't think it would be loud enough. I have one, it's a great little thing for playing at home, but not really loud enough to make much impression. What will you be competing against? Melodeon, fiddle, guitar?
  8. When I was younger, I did smoke some dope - I never mixed it with playing though. I also used to drink rather more than I do now, and I don't think that did anything positive for my playing. Nowadays, when gigging, I have either zero or one pint, and on open mics I'll have two pints (in context, this is over a 4 hour period).
  9. What about the goat carcasses?
  10. The answer may be at giphy.com. https://giphy.com/search/roll-eyes
  11. Pike. Then, if someone says to him "What your name?", you say "Don't tell him, Pike". Amend "him" as appropriate. Mine were all named after motorcycles. Spitfire, Hurricane, Tona (short for Daytona), Blaza (Trailblazer), Phoenix, Trophy, Bonnie. The current two are Pixie and Dotty (Pixie was named Penny by the shelter but Pixie suited her better), which have accidentally also corresponded with motorcycles - Ariel Pixie and the DOT brand.
  12. Mrs Zero had hers done at the end of June last year, so I have some direct second-hand experience.
  13. I'm not sure whether I'll be able to do this now - my hip replacement has been put back and is now April 23rd, so I don't know how mobile I'll be by 20th June.
  14. One case of poor handling and that condemns AliExpress entirely?
  15. Christmas Day was forced on me, I didn't want to spoil Mrs Zero 2's Christmas as I'm not a particularly cruel man. As for her dad insisting - another not-so-irrational prejudice of mine, I hate inverted snobs, which was exactly what he was. I was middle class and worked in a service industry, he wanted a horny-handed son of toil for his daughter, which was the boyfriend after me. Who ripped her off and screwed around, but a few years later, got his come-uppance: https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/solihull-man-jailed-after-kidnapping-and-sexually-assaulting-teenage-girl/
  16. Have you had a look at this?
  17. Unbeknownst to the then current Mrs Zero, I had started seeing the then future Mrs Zero, a former girlfriend that I had re-encountered 25 years after she split up with me (at her dad's insistence). The then current Mrs Zero (Mrs Zero 2) never came to any of my gigs, and so the now current Mrs Zero (Mrs Zero 3) came along to them and became friends with the band and wives. The drummer gave us (by hand) a Christmas card which said "To Mike and Kaz" inside, and Mrs Zero 2 opened it. It was at this point (rather than after Christmas, which was my original plan) that I decided I should move out and move in with Mrs Zero 3. Ah yes, not-so-irrational prejudices: alcoholic wives.
  18. It was due to a Christmas card from the drummer.
  19. If part financed by others, shouldn't whose decision it was then come into it? If entirely the decision of the BCer, it's a fail, if it's a democratic decision or an autocratic one where the autocrat is other than the BCer, it isn't a fail.
  20. And star chasers, as in "we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars".
  21. Thinking of telly, I have an irrational prejudice against people who comment on TV adverts when I am the only other person in the room. When watching live TV on a channel with adverts (it does happen), I completely ignore the TV during advert breaks, but frequently Mrs Zero (with whom I have been living since Christmas Day 2005[1], so you'd think she knows that I ignore adverts by now) will start going on about the content of an advert that is either showing or has just ended. [1] That's another story
