  1. Be wary of Amazon, there are counterfeits floating around there. I bought some bargain 'Elixirs' on there once, pretty sure they weren't as they were dead in no time.
  2. My response to anyone who says 80s music was all crap is: go and listen to Duran's 'Rio', Go West's 'Bangs & Crashes', Level 42's 'World Machine', Nik Kershaw's 'Riddle' and Madonna's 'Like A Prayer'. Then try telling me it was "all crap".
  3. This. You need to know why you've got the bum's rush, otherwise there's no way to learn from it. It might be something you're doing/not doing, or it might just be that they're gits.
  4. a.) What is that, and b.) can I have a 5-string one please.
  5. Get a real kick out of seeing my band listed alongside some big names.

      Cool band name.

  6. Feet Don’t Fail Me Now - Cut Capers
  7. I really fancy either getting or building a short scale Strat-based bass, and spotted this... but is it just my eyes, or is this particular one a bit Roy Rogers? That E string is hanging off the side of the neck and I'm pretty sure the bridge needs to be a lot further back than it is. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115355170140?hash=item1adbb4355c:g:2O8AAOSw64FiYr~u
  8. Yes, because scrolling past a photo takes soooooooo much longer than seeking out a thread and deleting it...
  9. Sounds like you're not alone: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/218875/dwight-cunningham Is it this chap? https://m.facebook.com/Dwight.Cunningham66
  10. I'll Keep Your Memory Vague - finger eleven
  11. Mainly TV and radio, like all the other old(er) gits here. Top of the Pops, August 1979... up until then, there hadn't been anything musically that really moved me, but suddenly there was this https://youtu.be/qU7pIVt29Bw?t=1495 and my world changed. After that I started opening my ears. While my mates would be listening to Thomas the Vance and his Friday Rock Show, I was tuning into Capital for David Rodigan's 'Roots Rockers'.

    Why? oh Why?

    Yes and yes. 3.5 large for this when Limelight will do an infinitely better job of it for one fifth the price? I don't think so somehow.
  13. March of the Cue Balls - Henry Mancini
  14. If I ever take my car to mainland Europe again, I am definitely getting one of these. image.png.94142e7aabd631515fa79ed1f2e6ff2b.png

      The people who run the UK are voted in by the people who vote in the UK; therefore, by association, the people of the UK must be idiots too.

      OTOH, France is a beacon of liberal thinking.

  15. The famous 'This England' speech from Shakespeare's Richard II is much beloved by demented flagwavers:

      "This precious stone set in the silver sea,
      Which serves it in the office of a wall,
      Or as a moat defensive to a house,
      Against the envy of less happier lands,
      This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, 
      This England
    ."

    How many of them know that the speech continues thus:

      "This dear dear land is now leased out
      Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
      England, bound in with the triumphant sea
      Is now bound in with shame,
      With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
      That England, that was wont to conquer others,
      Hath made a shameful conquest of itself
    ."

    Shakespeare knew.

      Who are these demented flagwavers that I know not about?

      Tarring? Not at all. I didn't say they were all demented, did I..? There are flag wavers and there are demented flag wavers.

      Is "mented" the opposite of "demented"?
