Old Gold

That's a case of supreme willpower. Completely acceptable.

If these scumbags like working so much, they should do double so I can sit at home in my underpants all day.

You could also sublet your living room to a mate. Sub legitimately.

Have you tried phoning citizens advice? They helped my mate figure out all sorts of free money he could get.

What! That guy needs a knuckle sandwich.

It didn't help that when I was in the skip and ship game, it mainly consisted of hungry bastards who seemed to prefer being on prison island than being at home. I have little time for anyone who claims that they'd rather be busy than sitting on their arse watching Iron Man 3 for the 5th time. Losers.

Although relatively steady, I'm still fairly ad-hoc so I still get the fear when my phone rings. Aberdeen numbers always get treated to voicemail though, for old time's sake.

A career as an ad-hoc offshore tiger beckons.

You're packing a Marshall AND a Les Paul? Welcome to the Jungle, Slash.

I can get to 2048 with no real problem now, but I keep getting tripped up with 4096 in my damned sights.

Quite a few clashes for me at Primavera. Especially looking forward to Jesu at half 2 in the morning though!

Had a crack at the Charvel San Dimas HS in iimusic the other day. Really fast and fun axe to play yet reassuringly Fender-y, and the pickup config lends itself well to a surprising range of prettier stuff. I can see what fatboy means by the fingerboard feeling sort of... sterile, although I reckon that'll break in a bit over time though. The GAS remains.

I can completely understand that some people hate having their privacy violated by social media, etc - my point is that it's not really a debate, just a fact of living in society. It's gossip and word-of-mouth with cold evidence. It's not a particularly new phenomenon. Is it arguably more of a problem that people can be so hypocritical and closeted? Putting an end to that is a lot more progressive and realistic than requiring a license for a tape recorder. I'm not exactly the purest human being, but I'm not ashamed of anything I do in my house. Frankly, I'm confident that the person filming proceedings would be more likely to be viewed as a pervert than me. On the other hand, if you're cheating on your wife, waving your cock and balls about on the internet when it's something you wouldn't want your son or daughter viewing, smoking crack after agreeing to a contract that said you wouldn't, or leading a person to think the sun shines out of their arse when they're a cunt, maybe the main issue is that people are still pretending that their marriage is the bees knees and sucking up to their bosses.

I look at it from the perspective that if I'm no good at what I'm blagging, it's the employers own fault for not busting me.

That's bollocks Jake. It sucks that kids can't get near the stage at these gigs because some spotty youths are trying to windmill across the room like a bunch of real tough guys.

Crap drawing of an octopus.

I'm sure you'll resell both fairly easily once you get bored of looking at them. Knock yourself out.

I use mine for hockey occasionally - the app for it that is pretty bangin'. My wifi isnt' tuff enough for decent Airplay mirroring unfortunately, but that could be good for something.

I've got the double-cut version of that Gretsch model. It's a great piece of kit for the money. Worth a punt.

Are they actually just hooking each other in the face? Music fans.

I've seen the words 'these days' too many times in this thread. The tape recorder isn't a new invention, and before that there was eavesdropping. You should by now be aware that most people's phones can record audio. Not being able to say whatever bullshit you like in private with zero risk of consequence is not a new phenomenon.

Yas, excellent looking axe.

So are you just against people getting into shit for being assholes?

Now hold my cigarette and skateboard while I pull a wheelie on my motorcycle, nerd.

Terrible comparison Milner. Calling a single person a cunt is a very different kettle of fish from having a grudge against an entire race/anyone that isn't a well heeled white person. And having a problem with evidence is weird... we're not talking about a potentially grey area like entrapment here. It would be nice if more companies were so eager to avoid being associated with people who are backwards morons.
