Sean Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Have a look on ebay for an Ibanez or Yamaha - great basses and you should find something very serviceable for £100. Quote

The Burpster Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Whos the daddy? Thats what I wanna know? Quote
Mr Cougar Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 This big cat's in Scunthorpe so at least 4 of us in Lincs - can I be the family pet? Quote
Buzz Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Hello Snap. Glad to see after only two months you've jumped into a band. Quote

[/quote] I guess it must be you, seeing as how you've been promoted an' all. I reckon it puts you in charge of the Bassplayers popular front of Lincolnshire (in a John Cleese kinda way) Quote
Mr Cougar Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Bassplayers Popular Front of Lincolnshire.....Pah!! Spliters!!, up the PBFoL. Quote

Muppet Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Can I be honourary member? I live in Lincoln for 20 years and me folks still live there? Quote
The Burpster Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Mup. We'll have to have a meeting 'round a fire at midnight on a full mooon, running around naked, chant a few olde cantations, slay a few virgins and then debate wether or not you're worthy of Lincolnshire status..... We'll let you know....... Ps if you know any ACTUAL virgins then you'd better send them along as it may take some time to get the meeting of the ground! Quote

Then the coppers wanted to join the party in 1988 and it was never the same since... Quote
The Burpster Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Well then, as I'm an import... (living here 7 yrs working here 3 years) I guess you are probably more versed in 'yellowbelly' ways than I am... Maybe you should be 'Grand Master' at the naked virgin thingy!..... :ph34r: Quote
Mr Cougar Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Hey Muppet do you still start every sentence with either "tell ya' what" or "now then"? If you do you are a definitely still a Lincs man. Quote
