Do you go up to them when they are trying to work and just tell them random bus timetables and cinema times? I like to think you do.

Good decision. I've always said the mods do great work around here.

Nobody will believe you that the fix is that minor unless you just get off your arse and do it yourself. Eagerly awaiting the thread where you sell your Yamaha acoustic (poker chip fell off - easy fix with some superglue).

Plus, everyone knew you were gobbling Milners rod behind the scenes at every available opportunity!

This band are gonna be great.

most of them are certificate 18, sorry man

Rule 1, take your time. You are going to fix this, it will work again and every bit as good as when you were happy with it, but you will start by accepting this can not be rushed. Don't like to be dictotorial, but the seemingly longer systematic, methodical route is often the quickest. Probably you did short something live to the chasis, which you may or may not have grounded. If it wasn't grounded then you may have shorted two or more nodes together. If the unit hasn't worked since you shorted it you have done something irreversible - like blow a tranny or IC. If it works out the box then all is readily recoverable. The wee poly bag is unlikely to have blown anything as most ICs (since the 70's) have protection diodes on the inputs/ outputs. Germanium trannys are easily blown I'm told. No personal experience though. If you used tranny/ IC sockets and have spares you could try fault finding by substitution, ie plug in spares, does it go? type idea. The other thing about the poly bag insulator is that if your solder joints have sharp ends to them, they'd have little difficulty penetrating the bag and making their way to the chassis again. Trimming off the tops of the solder joints may have opened a node, or shorted two together. For a few bux you can buy a x9 magnifying glass. Give the board a squint through it. Key question is, does the assembly still work out of the box?

What kinda amp?

Might I suggest you use his wealth of experience to fix the amplifier, and then if you do trade it, you won't get totally rinsed. Right now you're selling a broken bit of gear. You won't get anything above scrap value for it.

Please don't sell anymore gear.

The cinema is just mental. Imagine going if you had like 2-3 kids all wanting their own juice and popcorn? Bankruptcy. The price of popcorn makes my piss boil. It's just kernels heated up and sprinkled with salt or sugar. How can you charge anything over a pound for that? Surely they'd sell fuck tons more if they charged a more sensible price.

The word 'female' is now unacceptable to use when referring to a person of the non-male gender.

There are definitely rules when there's a girl in the band, because it's a completely different situation and totally different chemistry to when there isn't a girl in the band. For example, I massively crush on all the men in the bands that I'm in, because they're all dreamy rock studs and as a girl, I have no concept of self control. We've set out the rule that if we play well, I get to pick one of them to go home with for the night. But only if we all play really well. It's important to establish boundaries and to have an incentive to actually practice.

No football for you. You should get yourself Sky Sports and definitely never watch any football obtained from www.wiziwig.tv. You should report that website to the authorities for stealing football from the hard working, underpaid professional sportsmen.

I don't know if that's meant to be a euphemism for vagina, but it's totally how I'm now referring to ham wallets forever. xx
