I spent 7 weeks living in the US when our little one popped out early on holiday - we saw a whole different side of Florida 

Florida is to the US what Essex is to the UK.....just sayin'

I tried boiling string once. It took ages, left a stain on the pot I used and one of the strings broke when I tried to fit it back on the bass. The rest sounded just as crap as before within a couple of days.

 

 

I have boiled my strings for years and they come out sounding great and usually I get another three gigs out of them. I get about three gigs out of new strings. I love the new zing from new strings and can't stand muddy strings.

Not quite - Essex is very much about show… (partner is Essex) Florida less so, I saw some dirt poor people and talked a lot to the nurses at the hospital

That’s how Hackney is now, at one time no one wanted to live there

"gelatinous slime.....plasmodial zycogastria" is surely a Carcass song title in waiting.

Zycogastria is a fictional descriptor found in two places on the internet, Basschat and an identically named thread on..... TalkBass.

Essex has sunshine. It comes in a bottle or from a UV light tube.

Essex certainly has a prettier coastline than Florida....

Because you can't use them on the Stick. Trust me.

In our defence, none of those littered items are British. The fact that there's a sunset makes it even less likely.
