My last LaBella flats had dark grey silk rather than the usual black. I'm don't know if they've changed or if they had an issue with black silk supplies.

I wondered why he was on the radio a lot today. I was never a massive fan of his music but will happily enjoy listening to it. Watched a documentary a couple of years ago and he was very down to earth and humble, especially with his fans after shows. No rockstar pretensions, even though he absolutely was a rockstar. RIP ... actually sod that, make some bloody noise wherever you might be Mr. Loaf.

Abandon Ship - Gallows

Venus - Shocking Blue

I still need to pull my knob off and loosen my nuts. I managed to pull the film from under the knobs with some tweezers, but I really need to remove the knobs and nuts and do it properly.

Woodpecker From Mars - Faith No More

5678 - Steps 🤘

Mmmm, can I lick it?

Where Is My Mind - Pixies

Just seen this BB on the Facebook group and I went a little weak at the knees, gorgeous. It used to be a 1000s. https://www.facebook.com/groups/219406111488370/permalink/5026087770820156/

Love in a Void - Siouxsie and the Banshees

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday 'Country'. A tree with strange fruit.

Cool! I was just looking at @Stub Mandrel's picture of his leaning against the Orange amp above and I wondering if I should have gone for green, they look so good. I do really like my gold one though. Oh no, is this the early stages of getting another in green. 🙈

Ooh ooh ooh, what colour? WHAT COLOUR?? 😄

Life in a Northern Town - The Dream Academy

Awesome is a word that's bandied about far to much... but that is awesome! 😎👍

Chelsea Nightclub - The Members

You'll never beat British moaning. Many have tried, many have failed. 😄

I keep trying to add to that but it's always buried deep in the pages, whereas the Daily Annoyances thread is usual high up on page one. I think I even posted that as an annoyance once, adding to my annoyance that there's not enough awesomeness.

It's as @Stub Mandrelsays. You'll be able to tell if it's clear over a coloured base or just a solid colour coat when you start rubbing. If the dust (slurry if wet) is white-ish then it's clear lacquer, if it's coloured then it's a solid colour coat. Either way a light rub should be fine. I'd personally always use 3M Scotch Brite or an equivalent, lots of different brands, really don't like wire wool with it's nasty little metal fragments. Toolstation do a pack of different grades for about a fiver.

Dollar Bill - Screaming Trees

Is the band in the above link supposed to be Smethurst's band, or Mason's? Whichever it is this is taken from the band images from the above link, lurking behind one of 'Take That' playing bass. This is 100% Mick Mason.

You should be OK on a banjo forum. They've got to have each others backs. The rest of the world have got it in for them. 😉

Shallow superiority probably. A kind of, "We've covered this already, do keep up" response. I expect the more hostile feeling the forum, the more 'Do a search / Zombie thread negativity' there is.

It's gotta be time for this. 😁
