Finbar Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Okay, we've got a few things here in our house which need to go. Pickup only from Sheffield (Greystones/High Storrs area). First off, a coffee table measuring 60x122cm, standing 35cm high. Made of proper wood (not MDF), quite a nice piece of furniture really, just needs a bit of a scrub. But overall VERY solid and sturdy, just too big for this house. Needs a good home! Secondly, a Toshiba SL-X1 hi-fi system. Pretty old school thing - measures 90cm tall, 40cmx46cm. Glass lid, and glass front door. Contains a vinyl turntable, radio tuner, amplifier section, graphic EQ and casette player. Has a lot of space under this lot for storing vinyl and tapes. Doesn't play CDs Full working order though, just requires a minor repair on the base of the unit to make it stand up properly (we've had it propped up with folded pieces of card ). Comes with two Toshiba speakers and wallmounts should they be required. Again, too big for our house since we moved, and has been replaced with a teeny-weeny CD player. Lastly, a Drinking Chess game from the gadgetshop. Unwanted gift. Glass board measuring 52cmx52cm, includes 32 shot glass pieces. Cheers, Chris Edited February 16, 2008 by Finbar
Finbar Posted February 16, 2008 Author Posted February 16, 2008 Coffee table and record player gone, cheers
TDM Posted February 16, 2008 Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Wow, you live shockingly close to me! I'm up in Parkhead/Whirlow now, but up until a few months ago I lived on High Storrs Drive. You wouldn't happen to live at the bottom of that road would you? I saw someone carry out some bass/guitar cabs into their car once, there can't be that many musicians in that area right?

Finbar Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Highcliffe Drive, as it happens, so probably not who you saw There's probably more than you think though. There's a guy who lives opposite Cow Lane on Greystones that is always unloading a guitar and combo from his small car, and plenty of people with guitars... Always good to know you're in good company though o_O You in a band or anything?
umph Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 drinking chess haha was someone having a lol when they gave you that?
Finbar Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 I don't know :| I'm guessing they probably got it off someone for the Christmas before we got it
cheddatom Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 how much to ship the drinking chess set do you think?
neepheid Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Ha, I just got rid of one of those sets of drinking chess on freecycle - someone gave me it years ago and I never used it. Got a taker within 15 minutes. Sounds about right for Aberdeen. Never saw the point in it personally - chess is a thinking game of skill, strategy and judgement - you can't play it drunk.
Finbar Posted February 25, 2008 Author Posted February 25, 2008 Have it up on Freecycle as well - the guy who wanted it didn't turn up ¬_¬ I don't drink, and there's no point in it if you are using fruit juice instead of shorts! Tom - sorry, not shipping I'm afraid. No desperate rush to get rid of it, so it is just when someone rolls up to our door asking for it really.
cheddatom Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Ahhhh, never mind. No-one will play me at chess and I thought it might be a good way to get some mates into it!
umph Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 word i'll have it then chris could be an intresting way of helping to write pro lyrics
StanRobinson Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 How do boys, I moved off High Storrs Drive, February 14th last year, after 22 years and emigrated to Thirsk, North Yorks. Missing the Highcliffe!! All the best SR
Finbar Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 Forgot to mention, hah! This went quite a while ago o_O Sorry Michael! As for the Highcliffe... it just isn't as good as the Prince of Wales. The best pubs are those seedy ones in town though ;p Fagans! lolol

I have to put up with all the chavs in doncaster AUGHH.
Finbar Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 If you're down in Sheffield on Monday, we're playing at the Grapes www.myspace.com/maeslostempire You said you knew Existend.. Not in the same band, but you might know Rob?

Finbar Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 You do have Electromusic though :/ Sheffield is rubbish for guitar shops.
Jobiebass Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I know a drummer called Rob who hangs about with them. Most of my ex's are from doncaster! think how I FEEL!!! haha, although i do have a fair share from sheff too, i did slag about for a few years when I lived there. Yeah donny has electro but they have really rocketed their prices recently, £65 for a BAii bridge in chrome for example. I still buy all my gear from there or here on BC though. Yeah I tried looking for a 'ray in sheffield, I couldnt even find a OLP or a Sub nor mind a 'ray.
Jobiebass Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Oh yeah, and i might have that chess set off you lol. Me and my mate Friendly Pete Noramlly play drinking chess by drinking a shot for every pawn, and goes up to like 5 shots for the queen. gets messy quite quick.
Finbar Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 Sorry to disappoint you, it went quite a while ago Soundcontrol in Sheffield used to have Rays now and then, and the one on City Road has them on occassion. But maybe not for much longer... Electro may not have put the prices up, but I've found them really good for pricematching. And they actually have an interesting range of stuff. I can go in and go 'wow, didn't expect that' when I see a Marcus Miller sig, or a Sandberg or something, as opposed to going to most shops and knowing I'll see the usual Squiers and Schecters.
Jobiebass Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I gotta agree with you on the interesting stuff, they always have a new bass in there that takes my fancy, played a ray in there which was weighted a ton (which made me glad of my own) played a Rick which I really hated, played a lovely US Jazz 5 too, and I actually liked a Warwick they had in there, an unlined fretless standard Corvette thing. would have played nice if I could play unlined (oh wait im building an unlined. sh*t) Customer service in there is always great, always help me out and point me in the right direction.
