Smashing. Just up the road from me. I'll PM you my number, so I can text you on Thursday morning and arrange a time. Either lunchtime or about 5ish, if that's cool. PM on it's way. Bonzer!

I don't get paid until Thursday next week if you could hold it until then? I'm not too fussed about a box however, as I'll be putting it straight into my Tele. So, no bother if you can't find it. Where abouts are you based? Are you able to meet in town with it?

Can I have the Telecaster Bridge Hot rails please?

Being down to 10 men isn't an excuse. Novo shouldn't have gone stamping on Duff like a fucking child. Maybe they should invest in a back four that can do the job of a back four, and not playing 9 men behind the ball until the 70th minute (like they did for the whole of their UEFA Cup campaign). Negative, dull football. Anyone can put a whole team behind the ball and not concede. Barnsley shut out Chelsea in the last third of the game in the FA cup by putting everyone behind the ball, and it wasn't exactly a weak Chelsea team. Rangers' UEFA Cup campaign was, on a whole, the most unentertaining and most neutrally frustrating display of football I have ever seen because of this, and I would love to see this backfire on them against QOS tomorrow. Cousin's animated reaction to win a penalty against St Johnstone to equalise was as disgusting as it was unforgivable. Having to resort to dirty tactics against a team a whole division lower than your own team really shows the quality and work ethic of Rangers. When Rangers desperately need a win, and have to play to win, they get completely outclassed, as it was proven last night against Aberdeen. A team quite evidently lacking in squad depth and consistency. It's frustrating to constantly watch Rangers playing like a lower league 'giant killer' with terrible ball retention or attacking flow, beating what are apparently inferior squads with overly animated reactions and constant unsporting descent. In my opinion, of course.

100 for both? Do you drive? Are you able to deliver for petrol money? I don't drive so I'd have no way of picking them up and taking them home if I did buy them

You can't really be racist and play for Chelsea, or Terry would only pass the ball to Joe Cole or Lampard. Ashley Cole is English, but he's not a honkey. Terry wouldn't like that. he'd accuse Cole of stealing our jobs and taking our women and then kick Drogba out to sea, back to the Ivory Coast on a raft. It hasn't happened. He can't be that racist, can he?

Our local Nisa shop is a fucking pain for this. An absolute pain! I notice straight away because I only go in for the odd bits and bobs, but if you buy a heap of stuff, it's hard to tell. Last week, we took them up on their 2 loaves of Kingsmill for 1.70 deal. He put them through as 1.29 each. We called him on it, and even pointed to the leaflet they posted through our door with all the offers. He was still having none of it, arguing "no, that's a medium loaf, it's only on offer on the thick bread". in the picture, below the image of a thick loaf, was a medium loaf. He was still having none of it, saying "oh, the picture must be wrong". Eventually, after his moaning and groaning, we got our 2 loaves for 1.70. We held up a queue. It was good. This has happened so often though, and it's shit.

I think he cried out of happiness or some shit. That's like when people cry at weddings. Completely bonkers and uncomforting. John Terry cried because he slipped in the mud. That's just fucking hilarious.

How about Leeds United?

I don't see what's to hate about John Terry. I like United alot, but it's pretty evident that Terry is one of the best centre backs in the country. Maybe most United fans hate him because he's bloody good? He's not smug or overly confident. He just plays the game and he's a great leader, for Chelsea and England. I don't know who ended up being man of the match, but if it wasn't Joe Cole, then there's something seriously wrong. Drogba's handbags moment was strange. I don't know how Chelsea could complain about Tevez giving the ball back that way when Chelsea had already done the same thing twice, and because Tevez was right in the corner of the oppositions half. Was he supposed to hoof it backwards and play a long ball to Kalou up front? Great game. Very evenly matched. First half was all United. Second was Chelsea, but the extra time was too close to call but with only few chances.

Mega. The Made in Mexico set; I'd only really be after the bridge PU, as I've just fitted a nice neck PU in there. Would you be willing to seperate?

Anyone got one spare that they wanna flog? Just something better than the stock Squier bridge pickup? Holler if you do, and we'll talk business. Chairs.

Gwar also went on Jerry Springer. It was a great episode, showing Jerry himself getting eaten onstage at a Gwar show. I can't pick fault with it.

Oooh. Can I see pictures of the Jagmaster? because I want it. DIBS!

Black album has like, two good songs. The production on some songs sounds like Lars crept in to the studio one night and turned the snare up on a small handful of songs, but not all of them. The better songs from Load and Reload cane the Black Album. 2x4 is one of my favourite 'Tallica jams. It has groove a mile wide.

I'd argue that Converge have power-violencey type bits too, especially Jane Doe era, where it is bordering on Grindcore, but not consistent enough to be a Grindcore band. Trying to give Converge a genre is going to result in an endless debate though, probably. Face punches will begin to be issued when someone drops the description "widdley metal" I also don't like The Locust. They seem to come across as too much of a novelty to me.

I think I'm the only person who really doesn't like AJFA. It just doesn't sound good. I can't get past how flat and lifeless it sounds to ever give the songs a chance. I love everything before it though. Load and Reload each have about a 40/60 percent ratio of good/shit. Combining the great songs from each leaves you with a stonking record. Sure, it's not thrash, but it's still awesome bluesy rock, which I dig. The rhythm guitar playing is just something else. His vocals progressed a hell of alot after AJFA too. The melodies are great. S&M was Metallica's attempt to appeal to Mums and Dads, and St Anger was one of the worlds longest and most expensive practical jokes. The only good that came from the latter is Some Kind Of Monster on DVD, which is probably better than Spinal Tap.

Blackout Crew often rap about how great they are at rapping, in an MC Abdominal/Jurassic 5 kind of way, but they are actually terrible. Sure, it's fast, but it's just fucking crap.

Whitmore were fucking terrible. As was pretty much everything on that channel, apart from Hot Water Music. Spunge are one of the most embarassing bands I've ever seen live, and I wish I'd sat outside during their set. Has anyone got a copy of the picture of their setlist, with the bits written between the song titles, telling the band members what to do, like "spray beer on the crowd" and even telling them when to take a drink themselves. Classic.

Apologies for the "lame" post. I hate my life.

The Klondyke is an ace venue. The type of venue pretty much shows Manchesters desperation to put shows on without getting ripped off by shitty venues. There's not many good, cheap places to play there anymore. The Roadhouse is on the verge of extinction due to it's high hire charges but being too small for bigger bands to play without alienating larger fan bases. The Phoenix is the same, and The Attic... etc. Manchester is shit.

Soulja Boy

I gave 'A' a chance. But when he bellowed the chorus to 'Nothing' only the 3rd song into the set, I had to leave. #Gimme some loooove! Gime some skeeeeeeeeeen# Absolutely horrible.

Judging by the unreleased Quicksand album, it's a good thing he left Quicksand alone. That unreleased album as 2 or 3 great songs on it, even though they sound more like Rival Schools than anything. I wish i could see them again. I had to go to a shitting 'A' gig to see them the first time around. Nobody seemed to be into them then...

Zoom pedals are like novelty toys. Awful.
