When buskers play in the streets with amps and shit, where the fuck do they plug in to?

The modern witchcraft that is batteries.

Captain America dealt me an educational whuppin' at Hearthstone today. Really wish I had an iPad to play it on instead of my laptop, cause it's fucking awesome to pick up and play.

In other news, I got really close to getting the 4096 tile in 2048. It was the worst.

nahh. just different pals have different dealers and can only get at different times in the day.

By pals do you mean people with white-guy dreadlocks and plaid backpacks?

Today - got a few pals coming over throughout the day.

Are you on deaths door?

yep, 100%

Eagerly awaiting your Dubya-style reinventing.

Thrash Noel Gallacher.

I'm glad I gave this thread a swerve at the time, cringeworthy :/

I think my activity in the early days was crap enough without getting involved in serious issues.

I have to say I was a little surprised by some of your responses (no offence). Mainly just the fact you seemed to agree that there was a 'fad' aspect to homosexuality - which was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place. It seems a lot of people misunderstood the fact that relaxing attitudes and gay culture becoming more mainstream simply meant that they would come into contact with homosexuality more than they used to, rather than it being some sort of weird and sinister infiltration of gays into society.

 

Frosty killed it in this thread though.

I'm not particularly surprised.  I reckon that ten years ago I probably would have weighed in with some embarrassing neutral, enabling shite.

I will be pure gutted if they give Dinklage the boot. I think he's still to reach his full potential though.

ex baker folk (if there is any)

How did you get a reference out of HR?

 

That's been a week now with no response.

Tried phoning them?

On the other hand, I really liked the Whitewalker stuff north of the wall.  It seems a shame that at some point the great backstabbing and character dynamics will have to make way for a bit of CGI heavy magic action though.  All the build up will have to make way for all the humans grudgingly teaming up at some point surely.  That will be a shame.

Agreed.  The less I have to hear about the kid with the bow and arrows trying to explain something very obvious as mysteriously as possible, the better.  It feels like someone making a stretched out business seminar.  Bran can possess things, because somehow he's magical.  Got it.  I don't think anyone's really going to give a fuck how he got magical.  There's not going to be an amazing logical explanation.

I think it's surprising that Bran's had such little screen time so far.  I imagine that crew will get a few episodes of spooky shit at some point.

I wasn't going to mention that I think it sounds a bit like an old Weezer demo, but then the lyric 'across the sea' came up.

Guitar is smashing, and yer voice sounds great when the vocals hit where they want to go, although it gets fairly wobbly sometimes.

I thought it was a fairly nasty extra send off for Joffrey. Yeesh.

I'm finding the Targarian stuff pretty repetitive and cheesy. Hopefully her doting entourage start tearing each other to pieces or something quite soon. Arya and the Dog are always welcome onscreen though.

I just think it's a shame that you've obviously got a great work ethic but you've got pretty much fuck all to show for it except a handful of low end guitars.

And presumably very little cash left for weed. Bleak years for a teenager.

So between playing guitar and being a young upstart David Dickinson, which would you say you prefer?

they have the hard tail model in black at iimusic, I didn't like it as much as the floyd model with the maple neck,

no skunk stripe on back of neck, instant no

I think I'll have a nosey when I'm next in Aberdeen, see what I reckon.

What didn't you like about it, skunk stripe aside?

Summer time is banjo time.  Bump.

I'm still pretty keen for a Charvel.  I'm holding off until i can pay for at least most of it with stuff I flog though.

Maybe YoungA's flipping his shite gear to someone even more ridiculous and makes a tidy profit on everything, like a smalltime Donald Trump.

Would you likely play sitting down or standing up?  If you're going to be stationary, you're probably as well mic-ing up with an SM57 or something, especially for recording.  I imagine a wee microphone like the Thomann one would be a feedback nightmare, and probably not noticeably better than a soundhole unit.

I have taken on board the advice, I did get pickups just the wrong ones, I'll try again and hopefully get something that's more adiquite to my needs

So the advice you required was 'I recommend you buy any pickups'.  Cool.

Was this thread really necessary if you were just going to completely disregard all advice anyway?

At least we know what colour hardware you're going for well in advance. Great day.

Yikes, even the posts pandering slightly to some of the outright hate in there are a bit close to the bone.
