I don't know if prog is fashionable, don't give a sht if it is or not, don't care if people think me a quote weirdo unquote for listening to it. I love a bit of prog, me. In fact I like an awful lot of prog, thank you very much. Edited June 20, 2019 by Rich 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so easy to score cheap laughs by poking fun at minorities: Prog, Gingers, Scotch people, people with big noses (that you could hide under! 😃), Teebs, etc etc... but it's wrong. And I'm sorry for saying weirdo. 😔 Edited June 20, 2019 by Ricky 4000 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See Fender Esquire, SG Jr, LP Jr, Ric 420) Ohh, that is lovely! 😎 I can't take any credit for deliberately buying the uncluttered 'Jr' version. It was simply the only Ric' I'd ever come across that I could afford in circa 1990. If it had 4 knobs and 2 PUPs I'd have still bought the mo'fo'. 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have really no idea why Mr Hall doesn't draw more deeply on the firm's heritage. Perhaps it's because he's a total wankspangle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant 'really good'. I didn't mean to be so parsimonious with my praise for your new pickup surround. I did mean to say that it looks really good. And £18. Bargain. And as easy to play as a Fender? Without having to be a Fender? Double bargain. So, not just nice but really good. Yes, really good. In fact, hang it, it's really, really good. Sorry. Look at me all gushing and over the top. But it really is really good and i really shouldn't hold back in telling you. Niiiicccceeeee 😀🤣🤣🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Skinnyman said: parsimonious 'Parsimonious' - a word which appears only infrequently on these pages. Indeed, I can only find 35 instances of 'parsimonious' and its parent noun 'parsimony' in the entire history of the forum. Even this number includes occasions when the post containing the word has been re-quoted so the true, unduplicated figure may as low as twenty appearances or fewer. To the unenlightened, twenty deployments of a word may seem quite a lot but I can confirm that the word 'The' has been used more than 14,251,000 times since the forum's launch over a decade ago. I think this number rather puts matters in context. AFAICS the most frequent user of the term 'parsimonious' may be Ol' Cactus Grabber (aka Mr @Paul S) though I may be in error, the BC search function being tiresomely diffuse in its presentation of results.
