  1. oh aye, changed days on AMF then. I remember a complaint going in about one furum user calling the other a 'pedo' and admin/mods said that they were both giving as good as they got. I do feel that there is a line over which one should not cross when it comes to what is basically an open public forum.

  2. Sorry but that Tonerider clip was doing my head in. Why did the guy have to use so much fx for the demo. My pc is streaming very slow so I gave up after about 1.40 so it might have got better....I somehow doubt it.

     

    Maybe the PU are great, but I wouldn't be buying them on the back of the demo. IMO of course

  3. When you say bland, what do you mean by that. Is there nothing you can tweak in your set up to counter act the blandness.?

    I find it hard to see past Wizard pickups, but I'm not sure how much they are these days. If you've not heard them I can let you hear my sg with them.

  4. Me too. A lot of the time I don't even use a knife, I just cut things with side of my fork. 

    I don't seem to have a problem with that...I do it myself from time to time depending on the meal. It's just the people who attack the plate of food as though they are 'Master Chef' dicing a cabbage.

    A strange thing is though that after working abroad I often use a spoon and fork to eat my meal if it's curry or a rice based dish.......Hmmmm!!!

  5. One of the best acoustis I've played is my Breedlove. Can't remember the model just now, but I think it was the number 250 in it. It's a big old guitar mind, bu tit sounds and plays really well. I think they were around 700 bangers new, but you could maybe pick up a 2nd hand one for your budget

    Something like this.

  6. People who chop up there food in to smalll bits before eating it. Salad for one thing, spag bol is another...FFS! Cut and eat, cut and eat...there's no need to attack the bloody stuff like some sort of mad person.

    Could be just me of course.

    On that note....people who cut their food up and then transfer the fork to their other hand before eating.............learn to use the kit!! I blame it on Big Mac, KFC, Pizza Hut etc where people tend to use their fingers instead of a forking knife.

     

    NOTE: Sorry if you have some sort of aliment that doesn't allow you to use both hand when using a fork and knife.

  7. I have a kindle and was thinking of getting a cover for it. Hmmmm plenty of choice out there. then I got on a plane a couple of weeks ago and the person sitting next to me had a cover that looked like a book......FFS no way that would fit into my hipper for a quick read in the works bog.

     

    On the subject of kindles...I was on the kindle forum thing and somebody thought they they had been sold a second hand book. Now what bawheid would think that? The world is full of crazy people!!!

  8. You'll definitely fail. There's a reason people are able to make a living by being good at this sort of thing... it's a bit like learning to play guitar again.

    haha, thanks for the vote of confidence. Have you thought of taking up a career in man management for offshore supervisors :)

    Joking apart, I know what to mean. However I just doubt I'll be able to get anything recorded...but I'll keep you updated........................don;t worry I won't post the results if I get any.

    Thanks for the advice.

  9. That is how I sit generally, but at some point I slide down into a slouch and when I notice, I correct it. I think my posture is generally okay - I don't want to be a sloucher but can't seem to stop it.

    It's called REM. It's common in office workers. Especially in Oil &Gas industry. Do you do that line of work? It's not only onshore office workers that get it though....very very common offshore.

  10. I would agree that centrepieces are something which should be decided by the bride. She showed me a selection last week and got frustrated with my series of indifferent shrugs. 

     

    Ah there was your first mistake. Rule of thumb is show interest. Give advice on what you think is best and why you think that....however, you've got to say those things about the ones you DON'T want. She will then pick what's left which is the ones you prefer really. She thinks that you're interested but she is still making the calls. This works all through married life. Same with shopping if she drags you along. Look interested and poohoo the things she looks hot in....she will buy them for sure:)
