I thought being eccentric was a British trait...?

I may be wrong, but there is a rumour going round that "black is the new black..."

Well, just back from seeing it - my daughter had to restrain me from going straight back in to see it again...

The mark of a good movie, imho, is when it appears to be too short - "crikey, where did those 2 hours go...?"

Majel Barrett finished her voice over work (ships computer, yet again) just a few days before she died... they're planning to send some of hers and Genes ashes up on a "permanant escape velocity" - "boldly going..." when some of Gene R's ashes were sent up in '97 they were designed to fall back to Earth, shooting star fashion... yes, I know, how sad that I know such trivia...  ;D

The London branch quoted me £50 for a replacement (hand made) for my damaged RD Artist 'plate and £125 for a new Moog PCB (post her accident) 22 years back... which is why she lay dormant for so many years...  :sad:

Re one above Marks post...

Nope... they must both be Star Wars fans...

They was just Tatooine... (add groan here)

You know the bit about the "rabbit hole" in the Matrix, as in "how deep" it goes, well...

Follow the link and be shocked... but be of strong disposition...

and Mark, I'm trying to sort out even less - one selector and one volume for both pups on the Tequilabird...

I still think someone should start a little flutter on what will be the hundredth - gotta be something exceptional...

No wind-up Uwe, but what was the outcome re the original Explorer...?

Some spare tubes, sort of...



Still trying to figure out what some of them are...

err... don't ask about that 1968 Marshall smallbox, which is not my fault, and is due to be repaired...

Daniel - she's booked for one of my custom refins, but I'm sworn to secrecy on this point due to the disgusdting finish on my custom "Tequilabird", but you'll have to do your research to find out why..  :mrgreen:

Either that or wait for the posting on her refin work..

And now back to the good Doctor...  ;)

And another welcome... everybodies fairly chilled round here...

Daniel, as I hit 50 in a few weeks my days of desiring "Rockstardom" are diminishing... Might be happy with a desire for people requesting a signature on a future publication or fifty...!

As a reference, the front profile of the RD has not changed a bit but she is comfortable to play...
