  1. yes but Marco is Belgian and speaking almost perfect English but with little practical knowledge of British wildlife and locales. “Staffie” might leave him a bit puzzled. I was keeping it simple for him. As a speaker of a few languages, I know from bitter experience that’s it’s the hardest thing when you have to untangle irony mixed with local reference and make sense of it in the language that your head is using. I mean Vienna, new year pigs and marzipan ? That one had me thrown till a local explained it slowly @Marcoelwray a staffie is a slang name for a breed of dog, a Staffordshire terrier. Heavy, thick set, often used in illegal dog fighting. Some are nice and some are unpredictable at best.
  2. @Marcoelwray The welsh emblem is a dragon. The north of wales is home to people who speak Welsh as a first language, rather than English with a welsh accent as is more normal in the south of Wales @Vinny is joking about the wild countryside in the very north of wales saying that even dragons would be scared of the place
  3. I did, to be fair, add myself right back again

  5. Look up “the knowledge” with regard to London cabbies and then you will understand why this is a fantastic offer.
  6. Stick with black cabs, perhaps @pbasspecial will be working when you’re in town there is an app for phones where you can hail a proper London cabbie to your location - I can’t recall the name of it but someone here surely will
  7. I’d recommend the slug and lettuce on Hannover street for decent food just off the main drag of regent street - ok for kids and nice beers, plus clean toilets No lumberjacks however, so you might like to bring a red checked shirt Slug & Lettuce Hanover Street 19-20 Hanover St, Mayfair, London W1S 1YR 020 7499 0077 https://goo.gl/maps/ccTfGYc7ZwN2

  11. Well, he just didn’t know what he was talking about. Loser
  12. shim-tastic
  13. too true, my better half still calls it "a guitar". The argument that its "a different sized instrument, played differently, making a different sound, in a different way, with a different purpose" does not register. A cello is not the same as a violin.
  14. true anywhere. I took a precision bass to an OM night that was mostly weedy acoustics They noticed.
  15. Murray Head, but only when playing in Bangkok for one night, with oysters as a rider .
  16. It’s insanely expensive
