how many tickets were there in total? i know i bought a second for a friend last week which was #500, just wandering how many people would have been there fucking awesoe show anyway, slightly odd bands for support, still great bands but i was expecting something slightly more punky/skaish though. the quality keyboard demo song at the end of skindred was rather classy regardless David

i finished reading blood and chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause a while ago which was pretty cool, but a bit girly for me really (not being a girl) currently reading through the rincewind trilogy by Terry Pratchett, which is brilliant David

if its only 6 months old, check the warranty and see if you can get it sent off for repair it might be an idea to try cleaning the jack with some contact cleaner - if there is dirt in it it will crackle when the headphones are moved about i would have thought it was the headphones though, as i have had numerous pairs go south via that way (eventually cutting out in one ear and then getting replaced) David

hell, sony definately arent hangin about getting new walkman (walkmen?) out i bought my NW-HD1 last november when it was prtty new out - HD3 out a few months later followed by the HD5 more recently, and now something new (there was a HD2, which i think was the HD1 in new colours, maybe the same thing for HD4 or the japanese superstition about 4's - check boss pedals for example, none are xx-4's they all jump from 3-5) it will be interesting to see how they improve on the HD5, methinks a slightly different control layout to make it easier to use or something (basically one of the only criticisms of the unit was the controls) damn, my still rather flashy (to me at least) walkman is hopelessly out of date now David

as for the time its on and content - it is after the watershed, and really anyone who shouldnt be watching will be in bed by then, i remember when southpark or ali g or whatever were first out and 'contraversal' and so on, it being on late never stopped me taping it David

i went to the denmark one years ago when i was 7 or something, and the windsor one a couple of years after i was contemplating how cool it would be to go to denmark and go to legoland again today, mostly after finding an insanely cool model in the argos catalouge - one of the technics ones, a big ass cranes, with pneumatics and motors and so on, rather cool, but 80 i do have a space shuttle upstairs somewhere, i remember saving up for ages for it (cause it cost me about that much) and taking ages building it as it was (is) huge and rather complicated oh, and i want the 3 foot long star destroyer you can get now too, only problem being the 200 price tag... lego rocks David

i quite like it, some of the sketches are brilliant, others are a bit so so the one last week with the devil and the smart car was brilliant, just the sight of him driving down a country road followed by a tractor and a que of cars... and the mastermind quiz with alex zane when he was telling people they had the wrong answers was classic, just the big guy shouting about how he was right, the pain men are amusing in that 'dear god, he is actually going to do that' kinda way - just following on from the jackass kinda stuff (the two guys did dirty sanchez, which was basically the same thing) there are a few i am not too keen on, the lady going up to a couple and obviously flirting with teh guy wasnt that great and some others i have forgotten David

technically prices should start from 8.33 an hour stating prices from (cheapest price) is the normal way to do it,when that often includes waiting a lot longer or buying in bulk or whatever... David

on my guitar at least (a bc rich with licensed floyd) the intonation is adjusted by loosening the bolt holding the saddle in place (under the string on front of the saddle) and moving it

get both - get a mullet David

the shure's are generally regarded as excellent mics and solidly built (cant remember whether its the sm57 or sm58 thats for vocals - ones instrument, one vocals) so if you are using it out and about a good choice if you are only playing at home it might be a good idea to look at a condensor too (though i cant remember any off the top of my head) David

i would expect all the strings to be dull after a year of use... as for the new strings, could just be coincidence and a bad batch (though pretty unlikely) or just you are noticing it more, are all the other strings a bit dull, or does that one stand out for some reason? sharp saddles or the like wouldnt cause a dull string - that is generally the cause of strings snapping continually at the bridge one thing to look at is your technique and the way you play, and see if you are excessively hard on that string somehow, if you hit the top four strings very hard and miss the two highest strings (remember the g will be unwound unlike the bottom three) or if you somehow end up playing hardest on that string or something i would just switch the strings and keep playing, and see if it was just coincidence or if there is some problem after a couple of sets David

for eq's the dano mini one is supposed to be brilliant, just as good if not better than the boss, and a fraction of the price i use a MXR 6 band and it is an awesome pedal too, the 10 band should be just as good with even more control, and the only upgrades teh kk has is the second output (useful if you run two amps) and the paintjob David

www.ebay.co.uk would probably be the best bet for all of that, as you are looking for a fair amount of gear btw, a fender stratosphere guiter? you mean a stratocaster? David

fair enough, i hadnt thought of that bit (though it being a zelda branded gameboy its pretty obvious) cheers anyway David

would you sell a couple of the games separately? and if so, for how much? i wouldnt mind a copy of zelda and sim city if you are stuck on zelda, a handy guide on the net can get you past bits, i got extremely stuf on the last one, so cheated a little to get going again, great game too David

a swiss army knife (a proper victorinox one mind, none of that cheapy copys) a guitar duct tape/string David

how did it go south? was it just bust when you tried switching it on, or did it suddenly do silent, or smoke or pop loudly or anything before dieing? if it was bust when you tried switching on something could have been shaken loose carting it about or something, or if it went out with a bang it is more likely something has popped have you checked all fuses and whatnot? it could only be a case of replacing a fuse and it will be back working perfectly again. David

just to say i have heard many good things about the buffers on the visual sounds pedals, supposedly excellent if you use any other pedals in the chain for keeping the signal cleanr and strong David

WWII was much much larger, involving japan and america for one... the technology moved on in the intervening years, a lot of WWI was trench warfare, and the first main tanks and so on, WWII involved a lot more of the RAF, with bomber raids right into the heart of germany (and the luftwaffe bombing here) and of course the spitfire - one of the most cfamous aeroplanes in exsistance, and lots of stories from the atlantic - the nazi's hunting the allied aid convoys to britain, and the first u boats, and also the first atom bombs hailing the end of the wars (to of the worst single actions that happened) there was also probably a bigger effect felt here, the luftwaffe bomber raids and the doodlebugs had the whole country blacked out and in fear of hearing the air raid sirens, and i think a lot more men being conscripted into the forces (look at how many died...) WWI should never be overlooked, as it was a horrible tragedy, but WWII was a bigger event if you will (though a tasteless way to put it, i cant think of any better way to say it) and a lot more was written about it David

i guess it would depend on the circumstances and how serious, did she just get drunk and snog a mate? or has she been shagging someone for weeks... ultimately, i couldnt trust anyone that would cheat, so it wouldnt last David

i work in the photo lab in boots garthdee 5.95 an hour, so not too bad David

think of it one way, do you know of anyone who would want tshirts with your bands name on them? you could always do a few shirts on order rather than getting a load printed, blank tshirts and iron on printer transfers or something? David
