Nothing wrong with filtering as long as you dont do it a too high a speed...

Motorcycles are dangerous but fun... I gave mine up a few years back because I didnt want to die young (or middle aged now). At some point you are likely to be in an accident no matter how careful. If you are on a bike, the chances of you killing yourself in that accident are a lot higher than in a car.

He wiz like "that" when he saw it?

There are lots of good places to eat in Stavanger go out and have a look... There is a nice bar on the waterfront where I did a gig once... not in the main harbour bit but up close to some Museum. We got good grub there.

Did you know that Norwegians eat more pizza per head of population than any other nations? The Pizza place in Stavanger called Peppes ? is a chain in Norway and usually very good. Try and take a boat trip up the Fjords amazing !

The Breaking of Eggs by Jim Powell ... enjoyed that! ... and a bit more cerebral that Reacher ! (see above)

Lee Childs books about Jack Reacher are good pot-boilers if you like violent vigilante type characters with a bit of sex now and then...

For sale, in good condition.

These are Mackie's built in China.

Plenty of reviews on-line.

A big muff alongside a screaming bird... thats some sort of synergy !

A les Paul Gold Top and a Martin D28 ...

Sky is banned in my house... I worked for them for 6 months a few years ago ... total fascists, rank rotten management... cunts .... when I left I cancelled the Sky TV contract, and vowed never to let them darken my doorstep again. I've stuck to that ... Hell mend them, Rupert Murdoch and his global media empire can GTF.

I have some Shure in-ear earphones I use as well as Tapco monitors, I much prefer these in-ear one to the bigger headphones... the sound is pretty good and no leakage... they were about £150 ... E2c model, these are not made anymore, but updated version are available. Also they make your iPod sound AMAZING !

Pet hate : Queue jumping Norwegians in Airports... also people who turn up at check in with large hand luggage and expect to get away with it... cheeky cunts...

also why dont FAT people get charged extra for flying? one nightmare flight I was stuck next to a seriously obese person who was so huge I was crushed up against the side of the plane... I complained to the airline ... but got fuck all in response ... plus he smelled bad as well...

Even just thinking about this has given me stress ...

Cubase is ace... but it requires a bit of effort to learn, like most of these higher end recording software packages. RTFM and use youtube there are heaps of good free tutorials online !

We had one that was on a minute timer.

The main problem comes, if there is one in each cubicle and the lights go out. Whats the social protocol, who waves first - the guy who came in last? But conversely, if the lights don't go off after a minute, you knew he was sitting there waving his arms like a loon.

...

A minute to have a shite ? thats the worst sort of fascism ! Some things cannot/should not be rushed...

I used to like switching off the lights in the windowless gents staff toilet in Bruce Millers while someone was in one of the cubicles. Used to wait until my old boss went upstairs for a shit then 2 minutes or so later i'd bomb up the stairs and put the light off plunging him into pitch black intimacy with his own shit.

I always suspected it was you !

Shitting in public is a bit different than having a shite in a public toilet

I particularly enjoy have a good shite at work, its a double pleasure ... 1) A good dump can be a mystical experience and 2) You are getting paid for it. a genuine win/win scenario ...

My pet hate though is when you work in a place that has motion (!) sensitive lights in the cludgie... you are in the middle of a nice quiet shite ... and suddenly you are plunged into darkness... fukkin hate that !!

Has anyone actually tried to sell firearms or replica guns? I think thats unlikely and therefore unnecessary, we are not in the US...

Also I dont see anything wrong with putting up a link to e-bay or Gumtree (owned by e-bay) etc maybe just some advice on how to sell and describe as suggested by first poster.

I have one of these ! its amazing ...

I think I used PASCAL in Higher Computing, which I failed so badly I didn't even get an "F" on my results, I got a "#".

16 years later I'm an aberdeen-music moderator.

I taught graduate engineers at Heriot-Watt University Pascal Programming techniques... that was about 23 years ago ... FFS THAT makes me feel old...

Yon VHT Special was epic sounding, much better than the Blackstar and the Hartley Benton I had...

I'm going to go back and listen to the first two Dire Straits albums which I loved when they first came out... I never enjoyed later material when they went all stadium rock... I'm a classic case of liking a band/artist "before they were famous" Exceptions are of course Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

Deguello by ZZ Top, had a tape of it in my teens, but I never got it then, listened to it this week, vibinzz'

Brilliant Album ... cant wait to hear the new album this year. Actually the last album Mescalero was excellent and overlooked.

Our cat is 18 next month, so he is quite old and doesnt really do anything other than eat and shit. He doesnt like going outside anymore. On occaison he will come to the sofa for a cuddle.

He used to enjoy hunting when he was a boy ... rats were his favourite prey .. one morning I went round the back of the house there were 3 dead rats... two huge ones and a smaller baby rat... I thought there was a lot of racket the night before .. he was looking very pleased with himself ! At first I wasn't keen on the cat but now I'm quite fond of the old fella...

The classic tweedy case above looks great, would suit my DIY Rory Gallagher strat... of course I'd have to relic that case as well... I actually think the standard plastic Fender cases do a better job of protecting your axe...

Anyone been to Mi Amore?

It looks quite nice and relatively well priced.

It's for Valentine's day and as much as it's nice to go somewhere nice, at the same time, me and the missus want to feel relaxed. Is it fucking gladrags material or is it casual? Also, I have no idea how to pronounce half of that menu, but it looks nice. Will I get looked down upon by snooty waiters for going "Ummm, that one please" as I point at words?

Mi Amore is excellent !

Rusticos is also excellent...

Wagamama's is good considering its in Union Square...

But do avoid Yo Sushi.... there are some seriously awful hygene issues in that place... although the other Yo Sushi's I have visited were OK.

I'm not looking ... I have enough expensive desires without another source to fuel more ...
