Ooh, that is some top quality wood working right there. Kudos. 😍

Link seems to have gone a bit weird for me, but I got there in the end. Yep, that’s pricey. Anyone else having an issue with the link, try this https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-short-scale-stingray-4-bombshell.html

Substitute - The Who

Night Vision Binoculars - Passenger

I like the thread title very much.

I don’t know if these are still available, but the website seems live. I bought a couple years and years ago and they work really well, if you don’t mind putting a Velcro patch on your cab. http://guitarholder.com

Bomber - Mötorhead

It still confounds me how Magdalen is pronounced maudlin, or how we get mingies from Menzies.

Try eating a beetroot and asparagus salad, colour and aroma!

I like to call it comedy veg, what with the stinky pee, especially when you forget you ate it and the noxious cloud takes you by surprise 🤢😂.

Asparagus, seems straightforward and one way to pronounce it, right? Ooh no. Watching the TV some years back, we were treated to a Scottish gardener who pronounced it - áss-per-aar-gus, I was so open mouthed at the time, the TV might’ve fitted in - sideways!

Which leads onto words like lieutenant and Loughborough (lowgahborowgah? ) As far as I can remember from conversations with teachers with an interest in these things, British spellings and pronunciations are the product of deciding a language by committee, taking into account every tribe's idiosyncrasies and having every dialect represented in some form or other.

It’s how we say it at Castle McEz.

We have to keep throwable objects out of reach when watching any programs involving food. Lady Ez studied Spanish at college, so you can imagine her ire with the various pronunciations of chorizo (chor-its-O being the most offensive, step forward Greg Wallace). However, it is the current pronunciation of almond as al-mond rather than ar-mond, that really has her shouting at the TV. As to the correct pronunciation of oregano and turmeric, who knows? It’s all rather like Uranus and pecan (according to a Texan of our acquaintance, you pee in a can if caught short, you don’t eat it, that’d be a peck-arn).

Another great MM story. Now all that remains is to post this...

My thoughts exactly.
