  1. I’d love to see what non response is…
  2. At this point, we’re about to consult legal teams regarding the disability discrimination act. as we can’t get a quote and can’t start anything until the council gives us any communication (the meeting with the lead member was cancelled today…) the funds raised by BC may be used for the legal battle. They’re bastards. Done.
  3. An email has just been sent to the mayor, deputy mayor and each “Lead Member” about the now nearly 5 year battle we’ve had… Written by Mrs T. December 2019 was when this all started. absolutely mental.
  4. Carol Vorderman on Countdown, smash and spam for tea…simpler times…jumpers for goalposts… Isn’t it, wasn’t it?
  5. Nope… consonant, vowel, consonant…bowel
  6. Think the advent of FB marketplace put a big dent in eBay. Ive sold a couple of bits on there recently, much better really…
  7. I had a slightly later sb700 - much preferred it to the 1000 I had… Should never have sold it. Was a stunning bass.
  8. Our very own @Machines had a do with the ripper tonight, as well as everything else in the house. few beers, talked crap for a few hours. ace
  9. Box of frogs mad - but very cool x
  10. This guy is a family member 😟 Done giving his number out…that has to be said
  11. Good lord - what I’d give to work in a guitar shop these days. I love my job - no matter how mentally taxing and demanding it is (I’m a head of year in a high school) - but I miss pissing about with gear and just chatting bubbles about gear… At some point, @walshy and I will sort the Manchester faction of the Vintage Bass Room… When the kids are bigger/older/less dependent…that’s the aim. Wish I’d been more financially stable when I got offered the GBBL as a business. We were literally just getting scans of Iris at that time. Sliding doors moment that.
  12. Is it ok to like both? asking for a friend, obvs 🥴
  13. Just in from rehearsal guys - eventful drive home (chinned a rabbit at 70mph on the m60) Honestly - I’m 15 years into being on basschat. It’s been an amazing resource of knowledge and well of experience to plunge. I’ve most likely financially ruined myself and equally saved myself on the basses for sale threads - I’ve met some amazing people; quite a few in person. That random grub screw I kept has saved the day, the saddle from a 1987 bb1600 I sent in the post - the stupid stuff I retained from years in a guitar shop to offer advice…the people who’ve done the same for me - it’s a funny old world. Our house is now officially your collective house - we cannot believe that the community of Basschat has done this for us, for Iris. 😘
  14. NICE TO SEE YOU 😵‍💫 Since this thread, Bruce’s presence in my nightmares has increased… Yes. He was there before this thread.
  15. Jenny just had a cry, it’s funny really - I’ve always just assumed we’ll see Iris walking. This is about 4 years of trying different things. She did this herself…that tells me all I need to know.
  16. The 78 you have is really similar to mine - I had designs on a matching pair… Still playing the lottery just in case x
  17. Very typical iris, takes a tumble - thumbs up.
  18. While talking to Jen about the extra donations (she sends her love) - Iris climbed out of her adapted chair (she has one at home and one at school) and took it for a wander. this is quite the development. ignore the mess of the house and the state of us post work/school. this really is a big deal - she has a walker, but it’s so big and heavy - she hates it…
