Like a bridge over troubled water So, literally like a bridge then.

If a picture paints a thousand words, Then why can't I paint you? I don't know, Telly Savalas. Perhaps you're rubbish at art?

Spot on, Poirot 😄

BTW De La Soul -- WTF is a daisy age?

So perhaps the curry was just for the wife, seeing as Weller himself might have already had a kebab... possible, I suppose.

Then 'Locked in a tube station at midnight' would have been a better title. And the curry would have gone cold regardless.

Quite right, and if his wife had opened the wine prematurely, she could have easily put a teaspoon in the neck of the bottle.

Also, Weller should have specified which tube station. Imagine my surprise when I stayed for the weekend in London 20 years ago, only to discover that Notting Hill station was all locked up by 11pm.

Every little thing she does is magic? Lucky she wasn't born in the 14th century then, or she'd have been burned as a witch.

Strawberry fields forever? I think we'd get a bit bored with our diet if that happened, Lennon.

I quite agree. He also claimed to have slipped on a purple banana peel in 'let's go crazy'.

No it doesn't have nothing to do with it? Meaning it has something to do with it?

Partly. Some kind of a long woodworking vice that's fixed to your bench then. And the metalworking vice that appears in your pictures has nothing to do with it. (I like your pillar drill BTW).

wtf are you trying to achieve? 😬

I still don't get it.

Showing my ignorance here - my son played me this today. I'd never heard of the guy!

We can't both be doing the disparaging, Si, unless it's an S&M thing. 😬

I have no idea what he's making, but it probably shouldn't be allowed.

Idle thought: The buyer can't lose. The seller can.

Good thoughtful post, but a) I assume the 0% credit offer wouldn't count for F&F payments, and b) The seller risks having his PP account suspended if things turn ugly... personally, I know your intentions are good, but breaking PP Ts&Cs isn't a good start. IMHO. I say cash or bank transfer. Or, contact PP and see what they have to say about seller protection, under the aforementioned circumstances.

I hate it, the look of it, the sound of it, and the bloke playing it.

I read somewhere that somebody smart once said that all analogies are faulty.

It's also interesting that Lee Sklar swears by having his basses fretted with mandolin wire, wich I assume is skinny and low compared to standard frets.

Earl Falconer used to play one of them... I remember they were very popular basses for reggae. Reggae, ska / ska, reggae. Cardigan, reggae / reggae, cardigan.
