Happy Jack

We have a [size=5][i][b]winner[/b][/i][/size]!!! Hoping to pick it up this afternoon, just awaiting confirmation. Watch this space ...

I wondered about that too.

Ah now, that would be an interesting choice to have to make ...

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1435235648' post='2806805'] Welsh Floyd, eh? Do you do Sheep? [/quote]

Do you get any rules to follow?

Not unhappy. Just easily offended.

Ticket Price = £37.50 Facility Fee = £1.00 Service Charge = £4.90 Actual Price = £43.40 (i.e. nearly 16% higher than advertised) ******************************************* So what do you get for your extra money? "The venue facility fee will allow us to continue to invest in enhancing the O2 campus, to ensure that they continue to consistently deliver the highest-quality experience for artists, promoters and fans." That's a relief, then. I thought they just put it in their own pockets. And the service charge? £4.90 for allowing me to interact with an automated electronic website involving no time or effort on the part of IndigO2? Strangely, that's not explained. At all. ******************************************* Now if they just said, the price of a ticket is (say) £42.50 then I wouldn't have a problem. It's the fundamental deceit plus the accompanying bullshit which mean that I won't now be buying those tickets.

So what was the 'p' symbol for?

[quote name='grenadilla' timestamp='1435004680' post='2804682'] Duane was called "Skydog" because he liked being high. "Skydog slaver" may be a callout to Duane because he was a slaving studio musician, paid very little. [/quote] Alternatively, maybe Mick was actually singing "scarred old slaver", which is what the lyric has been for over 40 years.

That's an awful lot of plays to get 40p, how many other 40p's are they sitting on around the world ? [/quote] You've had 100,000 plays on Spotify?

https://youtu.be/j3nM2Ul4rLU Bloody hell! Someone remind me how to embed YouTube would you?

Nice to be in a position to tell Apple to f*** off.

What's a comback ... is this a type of hairstyle?

Or ask her if she means Get It On and suffers from dyslexia.

For £365.

[quote name='A.G.E.N.T.E.' timestamp='1434734937' post='2802382'] The controls are not very obvious and took me some time to get along with it. [/quote] Yes, agreed. I love mine when messing about in my studio or playing at rehearsals, but I'm useless at RTFM (just bone idle I'm afraid) so using it in live situations can be dicey. I tend to fall back on my Sansamp BDDI Deluxe because once I've programmed the pre-sets it's pretty much fire & forget. The Bass Attack is notably cheaper than the BDDI Deluxe, and used properly ( ) would probably represent better VFM.

'Growl' means a slightly less metallic 'Clank'.

There's always Star****er of course.

Bullet bitten, but only at Opening Bid price. If anyone wants to outbid me, I'll not be starting a bidding war.

Tempted, tempted, very very temped. I'm very tempted.

Last time I wore the fez was with my '96 England shirt when we played The King's Head (Acton) just before England -v- Sweden. When we finished playing, the pub discovered that their Sky contract had been allowed to expire (oops!). No worries, the match was obviously available on terrestrial too. Then the pub discovered that their aerial had been disconnected (oops!). Meanwhile, the barman is watching the match on his iPad so one of the punters produces an iPad and does the same. By now punters are drifting away ... they want to see the match. So the barman puts a chair on stage (this is before the refurb when they took away the stage, obviously) and balances his iPad on it for the whole pub to watch. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. Oh dearie, dearie me. That was a Group Match in the June 2012 Euros. We went out on penalties against Italy in the Quarter Finals. I'm sorry, what was your question again?
