  1. hah! got to get it first. I've messaged the (business) seller to see if I can collect in person if possible (if they are anywhere near that London). I can't see from their seller information where they are.
  2. i've won, and it ended up at £348.00. Apple MacBook Pro Retina 13.3", i5 @ 2.4GHz, 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM Late 2013 A1502, albeit with a touch of staingate.
  3. 2 reviews in total, both five-star, yet an overall score of 3.8 and four-stars? I'm no maths genius, but I know how to work out a percentage, so how's that work then?
  4. I'm still confused as to what has actually happened. Were prices fixed high or low?
  5. THE GIRL FROM AVRIL LAVIGNE’S “SK8ER BOI” RESPONDS 18 YEARS LATER https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the-girl-from-avril-lavignes-sk8er-boi-responds-18-years-later
  6. So. We got there to find the gate locked. Many messages to phone, Twitter and Facebook later, the Father of the owner turned up to let us in. TBF he said to add the time on we'd lost at the end. Once in there was a disclaimer to sign. Not sure if we all should have done one each, but the drummer (who had made the booking) did it for the band. I suppose social distancing was possible in the room, but it's an enclosed space as you can see below. Even though this was the first time we have seen each in four months - let alone rehearsed together - we did a live stream thing, which turned out to be quite successful. We did a sound/level check first by Facetiming the singers son. To make sure I could be heard I turned the amp bass EQ off, boosted the low mids, and had a fiddle with the treble. Not a sound I would use at a proper gig, but it did the job through an iphone. It felt so good to finally playing in a band again, and it did feel like we were doing a proper gig
  7. No mention of extortionate business rates and rents bricks 'n mortar shops have to pay. Greedy landlords seem immune to criticism?
  8. My car was once blown into the next lane by the winds atop the M62. Severely lucky there were no cars there, or I might not be here to post this!
  9. Hope I die before I get old. - well maybe the drummer did...
  10. We're the kids in America - no Kim you were born in Chiswick and brought up in Hertfordshire, not to mention you were 21 which is legally an adult in America.
  11. Landslides by their very nature, tend to be on the ground, and champagne has never contained the necessary materials to go supernova. As a supernova is the biggest explosion that humans have ever seen, it would be impossible for a landslide to exist in one, let alone for anyone to be caught between them.
  12. Is this price fixing high or low? Coz GAK were usually good for a bargain.
  13. Rock you like a hurricane - You are going to rock me like storm-force winds strong enough to be dangerous to those caught in them, causing major damage, and storm surges and large battering waves resulting in loss of life, buildings destroyed, beach and dune erosion and road and bridge damage along the coast?
  14. 'Cause breaking up is hard to do' As 42% of UK marriages end in divorce, this would seem to not be the case Mr Sedaka.
  15. I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king - that's one hell of a CV!
  16. currently at £205 with 1 day 7 hours to go.
  17. You gotta roll with it - no i don't You gotta take your time - what if i'm late or in a rush? You gotta say what you say - how the hell could I not say what I say!? Don't let anybody get in your way - saying 'excuse me' usually works here 'Cause it's all too much for me to take - THEN MAYBE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD FECKIN ROLL WITH IT!
  18. I've been outbid on 3 mac mini's. So I'm looking at a MacBook Pro. 2.4GHz i5, 256GB SSD, and 16GB RAM. Late 2013 running Catalina. The screen has the staingate thing though, although it doesn't look too bad in use? If I get it cheap enough I could always hook it up to another monitor?
  19. Check out the bass in the 'Aces High' video. It may surprise you
  20. Steve Harris is clanky at the best of times, imagine the awful racket if he was playing a Ricky 😝
