  1. [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1490888710' post='3268852'] Some 'Old People' pass-times I've noticed are; Driving very slowly,especially during rush hour. Paying for the weekly shop in 2p pieces. Asking for a full ingredients and cooking process breakdown whilst ordering a pub lunch. These all look like splendid fun. [/quote] You forgot "[i]being rude to the nice lady in the post office/supermarket/pharmacy about things that aren't actually their fault[/i]"
  2. [quote name='ricksterphil' timestamp='1490804050' post='3268205'] Mind me asking who the teacher you used is....? I'm thinking of getting a few 'improver' lessons (I'm in Nottingham) [/quote] Not at all Kev at zebra musik in Ilkeston although that was a few years ago Chris at crazy train in annesley more recently
  3. I did have a tutor and I would do it again. I don't have time at the moment but one day.... They spot things that you didnt notice (I swing when leading with my index finger, but am rock solid with my middle finger) and they do boost your confidence. One told me, when I was at a low point, that I was actually much better than I thought I was. We had just knocked out a scratch version of "Stand by Me" and despite never playing it before, I kept it together all the way though albeit with a couple of thin spots. Because he was also a "good enough" drummer and guitarist he was able to quickly put together a scratch backing track and email it afterwards, so it was all very customised; however as Coilte says, it was to be the [i]right[/i] teacher for [b]you[/b].
  4. [quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1490111171' post='3262258'] Following this topic starting, I emailed him yesterday because as usual I'm late to the party. I would really like a relic '63 P and left handed at that. I had just got around to a bit of serious research and his name came up. I got a very nice replay this morning to say that he is moving to another part of the country so is only working on projects he already has in hand in order to finish them before he moves. It was unclear whether he will start again once he has moved, but as he suggested he was moving his workshop too it seems likely. I've asked him to let me know when he is in a position to take fresh orders, but I fear this may be a while away. [/quote] He did say on his site that he doesn't do left handers ; perhaps he has changed policy
  5. Wire wool is good on Warwick frets - I find Dettox spray good for cleaning off dirt
  6. Nice easy transaction, glad he's happy with his plate
  7. i don't mind at all as its now clear that I'm asking too much money
  8. There was a time when this sort of thing was quite normal I feel for the pedestrians and that poor policeman -I hope the attacker burns in hell
  9. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1490176956' post='3262807'] Properly marketed, that could be a crowd-pleaser. [/quote] Www.prevomited.com/recycle
  10. I've had one, looks like a bitsa - at best
  11. Norris has just tipped me off about this; I'd love to go, not least as I'm moving to the area but that means weekends are all about preparing the house for sale. Next year perhaps
  12. happy to deal with Lee again.
  13. That's what we do around here
  14. smooth and pleasant traction for a celluloid tort P bass pickguard

  18. [quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1489508781' post='3257539'] None of you LOOK particularly angry.... [/quote] maybe its ironic and they are actually fairly happy and tolerant badgers
  19. yes, I always had naughty thoughts about them all. And I would have to observe that Michael Steele (she's a lady) was a good bassist,
