Skinnyman

Hahaha! That man is an imposter! I am Skinnyman (and so is my wife!). weirdly, it does look as if they filmed it outside our house....

Shush. 😁

With his strangely tiny right hand?

I’m down with the kids so I was going to respond with “word” and a couple of little fist-bumpy icons. But the nice man from the broadband people didn’t show me where the little emoji-ma-flips live so you’ll have to make do with a “well said, sir” instead. Searing analysis as ever, Mr D. Oh, and isn’t Flash tough on grime?

Worried? They're terrified.....

I've got the studio time booked but no producer will work with me. Not since.....y'know

Tain't moi go an' oi'm not one to push in, loik. 'Tis Bartelby's go if you two'd shut up an let 'im get a word in....

You ok, Hun? Sorry - couldn't resist. Seriously, I hope you're okay. I thought it was a bit quiet round here....

Hopefully, neither are they..... (Sorry Mr Delvar, sir... No 'ffence)

Nice. I think I prefer my more restrained approach though 😀

I think we can rely on Skank to keep any adornments tasteful. A bit like this, perhaps....

Oh there is, Young Teebs, there certainly is.

Black and maple. Mmm mmm. Always looks classy

I think this is a brilliant idea (especially for a bass forum!) and i can't understand why no-one thought of it before! I agree that if people only choose obscure songs to show off their knowledge of Patagonian Jazz or similar then it's going to whither and die. But everything so far has been pretty mainstream and gives us all a fighting chance. My only gripe is that I'm now intimidated by the level of skill being demonstrated..... But that's just me and I'll get over it. Keep 'em coming, I'm enjoying this - thanks, Stew for kicking this off 😀

You cheeky little bleeder - you ain't too old to go over my knee, y'know. I tell yer, if i was twenty years younger yer wunt be ser bleedin' cheeky then. I dunno, bloody kids to-bloody-day, got no respect. 'S them wind turbines wot does it, sends 'em all crazy in the 'ead, like. An' that Young Teens, 'e's the worst of 'em 'e is wiv 'is answ'rin' back an 'is bleedin' whotcher-ma-call-ems, emoanies or some such. Never 'eard the like, I 'aven't. We never needed no emoanies in my day. Oh no, a swift one up the bracket and that left no-one in any doubt abaht 'ow you was feelin'. I remember when it was all fields rahnd 'ere and me and my mate Ricky we used to go dahn the woods be'ind old Johnson's place and nick 'is apples. Anyway, one day..... (Shuffles off, mumbling)

I despair, I really do. It's not bad enough that you don't see the problem, it's the fact that you think you're part of the solution! There's no such thing as a sustainable source for emojis. Once they've all been mined, that's it, they're gone. And conditions in the emoji mines of SE Asia are terrible (there was a Panorama expose on this about six months ago). So not only are you promoting exploitation of child labour, you're also burning your way through a dwindling supply of an increasingly rare commodity - and deluding yourself that you're somehow doing it "responsibly". Get a grip, you hippy!!

Just where do you get all these things from? Some little child somewhere in South East Asia is working night and day for pennies making these emojis just so that you can sp#nk 'em all over the place. Now listen to Mr Delvar and stop with the emojis before this thread becomes another worthless cesspit.....

Thats what one was afraid of....... Still, welcome back. Did you have a nice time in Northumberland? Presumably, TLSMT (The Long Suffering Mrs Teebs) stayed at home for a well-deserved break? 😛

It's been very quiet round here for the last week or so. You been away? Any plans to go again? Please?

Who said "who said that"? I've got everybody on ignore. The forum's been very quiet recently

Interesting. The Flying V registration was filed in 1994. Dean started making the V in 1977. Hmmmm

In the case of the Les Paul registration, it's the shape. There's no size or measurements specified on the registration so presumably it would be determined by a judge's subjective opinion of it came to a court case.

Stop saying "The"! I'm losing count.....
