Ah... living the dream in Scotland...
Also having a mother that was born in Vancouver BC before being repatriated to Scotland because of some financial fracas in 1930, gives me the right to claim Canadian citizenship...!
My sister holds duel nationality...
Presently awaiting Bernie Sanders to ask the good people of Vermont if they wish to stay in the Union or become a Province, as was discussed in the State prior to Biden's win...
No idea of the political leanings of the other 12 States that border the Provinces but wouldn't that make a pretty flip of the switch...  :mrgreen:

I've been veggie for circa 35 years now... I'm 65 years old...
I first visited a slaughter-house when I was about 6 years old and saw the processing of sheep and cows from walking into that room to leaving it on a hook...
Pornography and violence in the real-world is more legally available and viewed by members of the public than many of the practices utilised by the "food production" industry... almost a "secret society"...
Try witnessing the practices utilised in Halal and Kosher abattoirs and feel no empathy for the demise of a living creature in such a "brutal" fashion, and then go enjoy your roast...
Most of you would struggle to retain a full stomach after witnessing such things first-hand...
And a "joke"...
What happens when vegetarians breed...?
The produce vegans...
My daughter has been vegan for most of her 31 years...
I am proud of her, and under some "Gods", that is a sin...
To each their own...

I've not played an awful lot of their rigs but in a "open mic" session I used to play in (backing band for it), the regular rig was an 18, a pair of 8's and a 500w head...? all separates... stunning sound...
UK prices are pretty steep though...

The military research I've had to do regarding "Burma", and that theatre of War, noted that it was acceptable (for the Japanese troops, who had by early/mid 1944 become desperate for any form of sustenance) to eat the flesh of their enemy, but not their own... their preference was liver, buttocks and thighs...
It was not the easiest of reads but that is what can happen and without knowing Uwe's (working) "specialisations" are, I'm pretty certain he also may have had some grim research...
It's long been known as "long-pork"
I believe it was/is legal to consume human flesh in some countries to this day...
To each their own... :o

Saw Russell Crowe's Indoor Garden Party in Inverness last night... not the worlds greatest singer but a good band with him and just something different... I'd see him again... I believe they're playing 6 dates over the Pond in what I believe are smaller venues... :mrgreen:

I presume they are all going to be active but if the battery pack fails will it keep burning for hours...?
