ps, anyone with any spare T'birds knocking about...? I'll pay carriage...  ;D

That's what I say all the time! :) But it's a nice gesture of the guys!!!


Haggis. My brother married his Flemish wife in Borthwick caste near Edinburgh, which was like a dream marriage. I have the nice job in our family and my brother's getting the big bucks at Shell. But to cut a long story short: I only heard terrible stories about Haggis, but there we ate haggis of the finest maker of Edinburgh and I liked it.
I haven't seen a real life haggis, but I bought a toy Haggis animal with a story how and where they live.

Well, I guess today it's my time to share some cross dress pics. I have to admit: Me in kilt is as bad as Japanese tourists in Holland wearing wooden shoes and getting their pics taken in front of windmills and tulip fields....

Just a moment... next post will feature the pics.

Well, there it is:


I never forget the look on the face and the little yell of the female photographer wen I didn't sat down in a 'proper' way:


Okay, my PM box is open now for nice messages about my legs.

Schatzi,

 Please put your pants on, the rest of the guys aren't ready for that kind of show.

Ahh some people have the legs to carry it off, Mark...  :mrgreen:

Still in PC hell...  >:(

Andy Stewart...? my dear departed cousin...  ;) Let the wind blaw high, let the wind blaw law, throoo the stritts in ma kelt ahh'll gaw... curiously enough, Donald is a primary part of my Gaelic family name ... Son of Donald the Red..., sort of Kunta-Kinte Roots, stuff... Did you know that Her Majesty The Queen (distant cousin of Uwe's, honest... she has German roots - Queen Victoria spoke with a German accent - puts a whole new spin on "Vee are not ammoost" when you know that...) and various military under her command are the only people that have the right to where the Royal Stewart tartan...

Ethel...! Ethel...! he's wandered off sumwheres agin... ahh fink it's anuvver rant...

... now where was I, ah yes... Still no "CROSS" dressing going on here, but my drinking buddy and his family, unfortunately now living in the West of England, around 4 hours from here, have an aggrement to appear, strictly for photographic purposes of course, him in the Hay tartan, and me in Stewart of Appin, Hunting tartan, at Castle Urquhart on the shores of Loch Ness...

Ah yes, Mr Dekker - I would seriously recommend not investigating what goes into haggis unless you are truly made of stern stuff...

Nearly forgot, Uwe had me sign off a contract re his most generous offer, just a customs technicality exporting American goods to the UK he explained, but I'm curious what "25% of your earnings, in perpetuity" means...? ;D

Everyone - think the following - "NO RAIN NO RAIN NO RAIN" - our NZ cuzzie, Tony would like a nice Blue Sky Day for what is now Thursday morning down there... ;)

In order again...

Excellent news, Tony...! Don't want anyone getting a hernia out there...

Never heard of the "Dropkicks..." before, Mark, but have now - yeah, that works for me, definitely works...! - do I detect a theme here...?

Ta Rob, the way I go with my instruments... oops, sorry Uwe, I meant to say, probably won't be needing that now I'm a reformed character and I will be taking much more care of my instruments, honest...  :-X

Reformed character sounds good.

Look Uwe, something arrived by Deutsche Post (DAMN - no stamp for the collection... oops, did I think that out loud...?) (Schweinhundt...! Ze ungrateful Englander...!) - just as we were off out to visit the in-laws, then the weekly shop, and then we got home (daughter doing coursework) to a PC disaster zone, which led to the back-up PC relocating and a wee bit of network work and then "SKIPPY" (guess where I found this HP bargain) decided to die (probably why it was in the skip) and ended up relocating to the garage where the FranKENstein's Monster still lays awaiting a PSU (home built previous PC that died mid December and resulted in an emergency hunt for a replacement Dell pre Xmas bargain...)... takes a breath

Ethel...! Ethel...! he's gone of agin... you goes out the bayak an ah'll takes the woods...

Oh yeah, ... so when the dust settled it was 1730 and I was due at a rehearsal at 1900 - nothing loaded yet... so rush dismantlement of the RD was in order to relocate her neck pup to the bridge position in Uwe's spare scratchplate ("T-CUT" took off the scratch beautifully, btw - tested on the old one first) and I ran out of time to do a functional test...


Safe and sound and fitted Herr Bass-Meister...! Danke...!


The Long Road To Recovery... my reform starts here...

No Uwe, not the Mahler, not the Mahler, please, have pittttteeeeee...!

... and here she is with her cousins, my Hiwatt and the 312 ...


Hmm... FranKENsteins Monsters ... now there's an idea for a name...

I guess with your bass being fretless and all, that humbucker should give it a real good growl.
