  1. Brain: hey! You remember that REALLY irritating song from the late 70s, the one you absolutely loathe and detest with every fibre of your being?

    Me: don't. Just... don't.

    Brain: you know, the one that went 🎶laa de-daa, dum-dum-dum🎶?

    Me: please, please don't.

    Brain: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: nooooooooo

    Brain {3 hours later}: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: *sobbing*

  2. Here's an example - 2:23 to 3:15, an absolute masterclass. https://youtu.be/hqWdNSDc-uc?si=IIO-yhPChaDf07tc&t=143
  3. Electricity - OMD
  4. Superb choice, sir. JG's work on that album is utterly glorious.
  5. 🎶 What a nice surprise, bring your raffle prize 🎶
  6. @scrumpymike, just sent you £15 via previous PayPal address, hope it's still your current one 👍🏻
  7. Folks, I've started a new topic for the 2026 Bash. Let's continue discussions over there.
  8. Thought it'd be a good idea to start a new thread for this one, as there's more to organise/discuss.
  9. FANTASTIC You can have my 15 quid now if you want What, even my virtually-intravenous coffee addiction? Can I put in a cheeky early bagsy for a dementia/Alzheimers charity? Sadly, a cause that is very close to home.
  10. Ditto and ditto. Food-wise maybe we could do a bring-&-share? Richard mentioned sandwiches and Geek mentioned a giant Costco cake, and I know Costco also do trays of wraps and things, and I'd be quite happy to make some stuff to bring. Obviously I couldn't hope to make anything as utterly brilliant as The Crumble
  11. Last year I ventured downstairs for a look round, and it's a good job I did because that's where ACG were lurking. I might have missed them completely otherwise. I have a busy gig weekend this year alas, so I won't be going.
  12. 😭x1000 And there's me having already sorted out my raffle prize donation for this year. Seriously though... Mike, I cannot put into words how much I (and I'm sure I speak for all of us here) appreciate all the hard work you and Gabs and the Scrumpettes have put into the BFSWBBes over the years. I've only missed one, and spent the whole of that day feeling like I was missing a limb. As an aside, I've been looking into hall hire etc round this way, and the cheapest I could find was smaller, less convenient (i.e. closer to houses) and 30 quid more expensive than the full rate for Cheddon would be. The place was perfect.
  13. I never use the pre-shape on my TE1200 as I'm predominantly a fingersman. The old GP12SMX (still the best bass preamp ever made IMO) had two pre-shapes, one of which was far more usable in the real world than the other. But I still never used it live.
  14. Yes, I have this problem too. "Is that face in pain, or p!ssing itself laughing? *magnifying glass* Ah, apparently it's vomiting."
  15. Pies Without A Face - Billy Idol
  16. Truck Still Works - Brad Paisley
  17. 43 years and counting. You'd have thought I'd be half decent by now. 🙄
  18. Easily missed admittedly as it was buried in the 2025 thread. I think it's just one of those unfortunate things. I'll be there in 2027!
  19. Ha ha, not yet no. But it did get very nice Gotoh GB707s and a D-tuner.
  20. I was hoping to do the triumvirate of bashes next year, Midlands, SW and SE. Down to a duo now though.
  21. Absurd bargain. 👍
  22. It's the same day as the South West Bash 😢😭
  23. Puppy Love - Donnie Osmond
  24. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes - Bowie
