  1. I think his point is that you asked a slightly odd question but still received considered advice from people with a wealth of experience, advice you then took while pretending said advice was no use. Read back through your own posts - they're a litany of questions about how to fix/upgrade/mod/improve your gear. If you just listened to the reams of sensible advice you have received from experienced musicians, your next thread might be a link to your music rather than yet another problem with your set up.
  2. Why can't you save up a little bit more and buy what you want? For example, you'd pick up a perfectly good Marshall head second hand for only a wee bit more. When it comes to your gear, if you buy cheap you will always end up buying twice, honestly. I bought a second hand Engl head 7 years ago or so, and although it was dear, I've never had to upgrade. I picked up a JCM900 head a few years later as a touring backup and it wasn't much over 350, but the only thing that would make me change my setup now is if I decided I wanted to downsize to a combo. Save up for the right amp and avoid interminable internet threads about swapping, changing, modding or hunting for alternative gear.
  3. Admittedly I've only just been promoted to Homicide, but I'm enjoying it. It's kind of like a modern Monkey Island but far more seedy and sweary.
  4. Beanie on a 50 year old man = baldness issues
  5. Bono is a prick, U2 are pricks. Semantically treating bands as a single person/entity is an unwieldy Americanism. Boo!
  6. Why are U2 so popular? I have no idea, they are utter balls.
  7. Man Eats His Own Beard at Knifepoint Over Botched Lawnmower Sale

    TV Series!!

    Deadwood is ace. Halfway through season 3 now, loving it. SWEGEN! COCKSUCKA!
  9. Just got this, and have just started it. Pretty impressive, although I keep trying to use CoD controls and fannying about with the camera view.
  10. Anyone who doesn't like this, especially "This Ship Has Sunk", is nuts. Fact.
  11. Christ, I don't support any of these teams but it's an incredibly nerve wracking afternoon!
  12. I'm all about the tangerine loyalty/Holloway appreciation today - 'mon Blackpool!

    Pet Hates!

    This fucking horseshit response: Capital Punishment - Edinburgh's Underground Music Scene / hot water music - oran mor - 27th august I fucking hate the internet sometimes.
  14. Mwahaha No, I'm staying put in Leith - "teh shore boys 4 lyf" and so on. It's a safe place to be an Arab!
  15. Finding out I'll be teaching in Edinburgh next year. BOOM!
  16. That's all very well, but you need to sort out the spelling mistake in your username
  17. I cautiously agree with the above. While I'm no defender of Ken Clarke and his terminology was awful, if he was suggesting that what is effectively consensual statutory rape should not be penalised in the same way as a sexual assault, then he has a point. However, I'm not 100% sure that's what he meant. If he was alluding to any kind of "she's asking for it" nonsense, I retract my cautious agreement entirely.
  18. "This Ship Has Sunk" by Edinburgh hardcorers Shields Up. It's absolutely ace-ic.
  19. Charlie Nicholas is a prick, but I like this idea... Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | Sport | Football
  20. Utter bollocks, I'm afraid. If you have time, make your way through this Panorama: YouTube - BBC Hooligans - Scotland's Secret Shame (Celtic - Rangers) part 1/5
  21. That's certainly what Radio Scotland were reporting.
  22. *crosses fingers for Hearts points deduction*
