Dave... You coming out of the closet...?

Nice one...

I get suprised about what "turns me on" about an instrument... like when I first saw my T'bird... but that recent shot of that Hamer 8 string green V has kinda turned me on my head, a bit like Bret/Uwe/Scott/Chris with Explorer, or style, instruments, when it goes "against the grain" ...

Oh for some spare cash in the bank...

Back to the shed in the morning - now have power and lighting - screeded the floor (awful - not my forte) and hopefully laying the lino tomorrow
(today!) ...

Hmm... did you cancel your order to take the slightly higher up the list or buy both then...?  ;D

Uwe, Uwe, Uwe......

You already have the only inside track on my plans, why do you think I'm working so hard on getting this shed up and running...?

Trust me, I'm enjoying myself far too much to risk eviction...   ;)

But will you be hunting for that korina paddle...?

And what of the "Shadocastz Special" ... surely you have some influence at the "custom shop" to get one of those beauties in your sites...

There was once a crazed moment that I thought of doing something that radical to my RD, but I'm past that point of my life, now...  ;)

That looks kinda cool...

I've got Viking (MacLeod) ancestry on both sides...

"Lovely Spam, Wonderful Vegetarian Spam..."

Is that tangentially spun-off enough...?  ;)

No argument there, but my (hair) style runs closer to Rob Halford than these guys...  ;)

Was working at a shopping centre fixing a PTZ camera on the roof of the car-park - there a "woman" very much like that one in the video, wandering round "flashing" people - apparently a regular "wack-job"...

If he has "gone", there is a tiny part of me that thought earlier today that he was going to disappear with all that pre-sales money from the O2 shows... cynical or what...

A true genius, but flawed...

You lucky man, Gary... I know the show I saw was recorded (BBC broadcast, but not that bit, tapes still around somewhere) but don't remember vid cams...

Dave... "Undertall Victorious", to paraphrase a Jill Sobule song...

Mark... I'd have to dwarf you, Maam, to carry that weight with grace, and I just don't have your lovely legs...  8)

Now there's a target for you to broadside; shoot away, I'm big enough to take it...  ;)

Going to the RIAT show in July, but that is mostly up-to-date kit - just praying it will not be a total wash-out like last year for the RAF's 90th non-show...

Bret... is there a "little porkerism" going on down there in "God's Own back yard...", and talking of that, here's a scene (sorry Veronica) from the South Bank of the Thames in London this week, recreating Bondi Beach (???) in a bid to persuade people to emigrate...



Now there's a thought... Those legs are nearly as good a Lady V's...

Other Bass Brands / Re: Lefty NRBachbirds - need 20 southpaws to make it
« on: June 24, 2009, 04:09:02 PM »
I had never realised how differently shaped NR's were compared to "reverse" T'birds... very RD at one end and unique at the other...

Hmmm... I thnk you may have something there, George...

Good luck with the lefty hunt... if the cash was available I think I would go for one, too...
