Shhhhh. All of the mods are wonderful, they do a difficult and dangerous job with little recognition and deserve what small comforts they can get. I would vote for them all to be King. Or Queen in at least one case.

Well you shouldn't be such a bad'un....

I assumed the subs were going on boiler suits for the minions and golf carts for getting about the place. I'm just a little depressed that they're not. I assume we came into the conversation because it was our bedtime and none of you wanted to read us a story? But whatever we've done wrong, it was Teebs...

I resemble that remark!

😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

If she owns a pub as well.....

Well that’s me not sleeping tonight....

Oops, out of TLRTs again. Consider this "liked"

That's it! It was Teebs fault....

Yes sir, sorry sir...

Well that's just charming, i must say. I'm sure that old Mother 4000 is a delightful lady who did her best to bring her son up properly and teach him some manners. It's hardly her fault that he's got in with a bad crowd and got a cheeky tongue in his head since 'e left 'ome, giving lip to 'is elders an' betters. 'e ain't too big to be sent ter bed wivaht 'is supper, you know....

Not if you're nicking next door's and their router isn't very powerful. Then you prob'ly have to sit on one of the bins to get a decent WiFi signal.

I think it can only help your case if you do....

Good man, keep it up

You had to go there, didn’t you.....?

I think what you're describing is pretty much universal, sadly

In my case, with very good reason

Depending on how stocks and such like perform after The Big Day in March (or whenever), I may be looking for something in April.... But for now 😀😀😀😀😀

Early retirement, young whipper-snapper

I bet there's a list somewhere of the top 50 female vicars....

Right now I'm listening to "The Ferryman's Curse" by the Strawbs. I've bought every album they ever recorded and Dave Cousins has pretty much chronicled my life - and this, their latest, is superb. When so many bands of the seventies are - quite understandably - trading on their back catalogue, I love the fact that DC still has things to say. His voice is sounding weaker these days (although apparently he recorded the vocals for this while nursing a hernia so that might explain things) but it suits the introspective nature of the songs well. I'm so gutted that I missed their recent 50th anniversary tour....

I tried, I really did....

And then there’s this.... https://www.snap-dragon-guitars.co.uk/snap-dragon-e-bass-4-p.asp

I spent quite some time looking at the many travel guitars on the market, some of which have demountable (not folding) necks. I don't believe that (apart from the Hofner? Shorty) that there is a similar travelling bass. A Steinberger is pretty portable though and may already be a reasonable solution for the traveling bassist. I have no idea of potential market size but if you come up with a decent solution it should work for guitar as well and that's where the money seems to be. There's a shop in Brighton who specialises in travel guitars - can't remember the name offhand but a quick Google should turn them up - their website was very comprehensive and showed the different solutions that already exist. A final note - a friend of mine had one of the traveller guitars and I found it virtually unplayable. The string action was at cheese cutter levels and the design meant it couldn't easily be lowered Good luck with the research

Exactly - and how many female bassists are also cyclists and will be affected by it? Huh? There - that should do the trick....
