Yeah, I regret letting one in the same finish slip through my hands.

Lovely this - nice tone on the vocal line too 👍🏼

Haha, to be fair 3 of them came to a gig and were very gracious - they’re not big on the finer points of funk rock, but they’re decent blokes. very much “my mate played the drums when we were kids” kind of conversation. After that, I tried to keep myself abreast of transfer gossip and results from the previous weekend etc.

Yeah, I’m not into football really, I was competent enough to be on the school team, but I really have never had much interest in it. My lad is well into it and the other football parents (mainly the dads) treat me like a leper when I can’t discuss the inner workings of premier league teams and the failings of various managers etc. it is a “eurgh, what’s WRONG with you?!” Kind of reaction.

I am in the other photo with my Ella - bang at the front

Yeah, they were good - the green day act afterwards were ace too

This chap?

I was being genuine. I spent all day at a tribute festival yesterday. I want to do it.

Yup. Absolutely

I want to be in a tribute band. there. I said it. I want to dress up and play bass…

Congratulations for this too…

Congratulations on the congratulations 😂

I think I’ve got one knocking about. Will post it to you if I find it

I got made a prefect on the second run, when they’d sacked a few for misbehaving. It was in about April 2000, I finished school in June 2000 so I managed to hang onto it…

They were all the rage in the world of put downs and slurs in the early 90’s (in Salford) 😂

Don’t know if this was a thing where various BC members are - but right around the time I was booted out of Cubs, we used to say “ah mate, get yourself a chufty badge” when someone was showing off… ”ah look, David’s got the United kit…chufty badge for him…” I want a BC Chufty badge.

It reminds me of my very short time in Cubs (I was kicked out). ”MAM, AV JUST GOT A ‘MAKING TOAST’ BADGE, CAN YER SEW IT ON ME JUMPOH?” Ah well. I had some snarky comment to make, but I can’t be bothered. I want actual badges in an envelope so I can sew them on my jumper…or strap. People will know I’m cool then.

FFS every time I’m reminded of this thread… bb424x red metallic another Bb350f but white - this is already sold to @lee650 as I made a monumental error of judgment after some beer.

Gold string tree…the excitement never stops… sorry - I’ve overspent on BB’s so there are some significant leaves on the line…

He doesn’t leave Morecambe, we have to travel to him…

I reckon there’s enough meat on that headstock for a rework at least…

I suppose I should just commission one myself 🥴
