snorkie635 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I also think the badge thing stupid. We could always give them back like the Beatles. Fire millions of them at the Administrators.

itsmedunc Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I wish to "Identify" as a Basschat Legend today but not tomorrow. Well, maybe part of tomorrow morning would be nice but I'm reserving my "Right" to cancel just in case. How will this be achieved without me being intentionally offended? Will there be a "Right Geek" badge for members who know about Ohms and that other hard stuff like that too? 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 49 minutes ago, Jus Lukin said: Brian May To Sue Basschat Against strong legal advice, the stargazing Queen guitarist is to sue the international British-owned social media circus. In a statement from his office, Mr. May said: "I don't mind those gobby tw*ts sitting around talking b*llocks all day, but if they start messing with my beloved furry little handfuls, they'll end up with egg on their faces." Prosecutors are standing by the chorusy-toned star, saying "Many of our well respected colleagues have brushed off the case, suggesting that our client ought to pop back to Vision Express now that lockdown is easing, but they clearly don't share our vision, passion, and dedication to the extraction of funds from the misguided wealthy. We shall continue our dilligent building of this case until it is laughed out of court." From beneath a pub table, the harrassed leader of the embattled site, who couldn't remember his name to give to our reporter, quoth "We're still in the middle of a massive bloody update, and it's the badges what stink- we couldn't give a toss about Brian and his stupid animals!" followed by a large belch and that kind of hand gesture you can do to get the barman to bring another whisky chaser when you're too far gone to make it to the bar. In response, the prosecution issued a response: "This is a clear indication that the accused couldn't care less about our client's cause, and re-statment of the percieved aromatic deficiencies of the woodland creatures in question. We believe the facts of this case to be entirely black and white." At the time of writing, sales of May's new £177 perfume, Save Me, designed in collaboration with Xerjoff to smell of sandalwood and badger and released in January 2021, continue to progress 'at snail's pace'. Well, reading your very interesting "Brian May To Sue Basschat" post, I now understand why you list "My own little world" as your location 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitarist was none other than renowned session ace Chris Spedding, along with drumming legend Clem Cattini. And the bassist was my old school friend Les Hurdle. When I knew him he was getting a great sound out of an EBO with added bridge pickup. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I knew him he was getting a great sound out of an EBO with added bridge pickup. The entire group was sessions players (Les playing on work by Chris Spedding for instance). According to wiki, Spedding used his usual white Gibson Flying V when playing (or miming in the case of TOTP) as part of the Wombles - maybe Les Hurdle had moved on to a Rickenbacker bass for this. Having been asked to write the initial song (which was very successful) and waived his fee, Batt had negotiated an arrangement whereby he could write more songs and he and the band make money from this - resulting in a stream of hits over several years. According to wiki, on one TOTP the band Steeleye Span donned the outfits as the proper band wasn’t available. So folks, this is what the average session musician and writer/producer (or famous folk rock group) might get up to (making money playing music as part of a sort of park keeper/rubbish collector furry creature franchise). Well I suppose Ringo narrated Thomas the Tank Engine, but somehow the roles played by the likes of Carol Kaye, Herbie Flowers (what a great, creative player he is) etc etc always seem more glamorous - I guess they’ve all had to play questionable music, but wonder if any of them performed in quite such silly outfits as this!!! Now badges - I believe I’m now on level 10 of 14 but only about 800 to go till my next level is achieved 😀 I’m expecting the odds are the site will be updated again and the ‘badges’ dropped before I reach the next level….. even if it’s not done for several years….

When I knew him he was getting a great sound out of an EBO with added bridge pickup. Ah, that explains a lot. I went for an audition yesterday for the reformed Wombles gig. Trying to curry favour with the MD I mentioned I was an avid recycler and have been committed to keeping Britain tidy since I was a kid. “Do you think that serves me in good stead, I’d really love this gig”, I said. “That’s admirable”, he replied, “but you do know you’ve got one Les Hurdle to overcome”. ”That’s good news”, I reckoned. “What?!”, he said, scratching his head and looking bemused. And so it went on… 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
