See, you actually know loads already. I’m at a similar point, I downloaded a music theory book last night, just to see what I’m missing out on.

Then I moved away, lost heart in it all and one day someone offered me a,ticket to a classical acoustic/flamenco concert.. turned out it was by Tomatito (famous flamenco guitarist, like you’ll have heard from him) so I bought an Alhambra Nylon and flapped and twanged and made my brow furrowed with all the gawd damn practice I did to emulate this ere’ flamenco God.

The father of Las Ketchup, you’ll thank me for that.

How bad are you exactly?

1 Can you play chords and change quickly between them?
2 Can you bust out some Green day or something equally simple using power chords?
3 Can you play barre chords moving higher up the neck?
4 Can you play a couple of funky basslines?
5 What do you enjoy playing?

You called me a troll the other day Drac, but I don’t care, I take the rusk with the smooth

Pre-cooked sausages? I’m a wok afficionado as the flavour and balance achieved through correct use of Chao and even Bao fry styles is sublime, and yes it’s a technique that takes time to learn but their use when making a sausage butty cannot be ignored.

Left foot brake?

or this?

Somewhere deep in a cupboard at my parent’s place is a Tamiya Bearhawk with a Schumacher Ultrastock motor. Runtimes back in 1990 topped out at about 3 minutes :-(

I wonder if it’s worth retrieving for the child to smash up…

Nice, a handful of posts in and there’s an image of multiple dead bodies. Thanks for that.

You’re on the internet reading a thread about the Nazis…

I think it’s past your bedtime treacle.

Thanks for your input, Sweetcheeks. Don’t make me come over there and play my Ukulele at you.

Left foot braking, that’s the answer.

I’ve creched at Antur, is that the same?

Get a load of my low hanging fruit! The shape of that top Scotch Bonnet is bloody awesome, though the couple below are less classically shaped they are at least ripening nicely.

How are the rest of you doing? Updates goddamit!

Exeter? If so is there anything you need?

Hopefully in twenty years private ownership of cars will be restricted

Come back when you’ve passed your driving test Councilof1

This thread is about flouting the rules, once a rule’s broken then ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’ or ‘better to be hung for a lion as a lamb’ or ‘a rolling stone gathers no moss’ take your pick.

I’m off to do a handbrake turn

without advanced driving techniques such as I have outlined you are doing nothing more than driving like sausages in family cars

Edukator- it looks like you’re under steering into a ditch

The balance and poise achieved through correct use of left foot braking is sublime, and yes it’s a technique that takes time to learn but it use when ‘pressing on’ cannot be ignored.

I like nothing more than the epic turn-in I get from my T4 when I left foot brake coming into a roundabout. If you can’t left foot brake then don’t tell me you’re an advanced driver.

Oh, and My nan did ADT, it used to reduce the insurance premium, now it just marks you as a bell end.

How much do you weigh? 2000 miles is nothing, especially if much of it is commuting. Do you brake like the wind?

It’s easy if you’ve ever played another string jnstrument, 10 mins and you’ll be all over it. It’ll go out of tune to begin with, transpose songs to avoid playing E chord as that’s a bastard.

Same as above, wire brush attachment in drill? Then paint? Leave the tyres on

Take advice from assistant. Find several pairs that seem ok ish. Take selfies, make sure you are in decent light and smile, don’t be self conscious. Now go get that coffee, look at your gormless photos and make a decision.

Or post your selfies on here and we can tell you, but don’t listen to slowoldman, he’s wearing oval rimless specs.

And get an anti reflection coating

‘Paddling gloves’ neoprene waterproof and warm

There’s a lot of knickers in a twist here. Ooh, a real man does this and that.

I’m on parental leave as my partner earns significantly more than me and the baby is only 9 months old. I’ve just put him to bed and can spend a few minutes on here before I **** off to Mumsnet where they’re allowed to swear.

I hope he grows up to do whatever the hell he wants.

What sort of opticians doesn’t offer a first time wearer some sort of advice? They don’t deserve you, go elsewhere with a good wide range and try everything on. There’s not a good hard and fast rule to choosing, as fashion dictates as much as face shape. The chart posted above recommended oval frames, what is this? 1994?

Listen to the dispensing optician in the store, they don’t know you or your style so will give a neutral and unbiased opinion, if you think you look like a **** then tell them, if they’re any good they’ll be able to quickly narrow down the massive range into a handful of suitable styles.

Specsavers usually have a decent range at sensible prices, vision express are similar but offer brand names if that means anything to you, boots are hit and miss in their stock ranges, independents should offer you plenty but generally at a price.

Don’t decide against a frame until you’ve tried it on.

Have a budget in mind

Don’t rush

Ask them to keep stuff aside for an hour while you get a coffee

Buy an anti-reflection coating, those who tell you otherwise are wrong.

Good luck

I’ve just done some serious hunting to get the best deal on a set of 4 tyres for my van, Camskill and Blackcircles initially seemed best until you add in the fitting fee from a private garage (if you buy them non-fitted) or including fitting from ATS or somewhere local. So I went direct to ATS (my local tyre place) and they were £20 less than blackcircles. And then it took them 2 hours instead of 40 minutes so I asked for, and got, £50 off.

Bargain.

Centre Parcs have a special price on back doors via Mumsnet

Can he advise on acceptable tyre tread depth?

you say ‘which’ as though there is only one pointless bastard here

what if you ran over a paedophile with your bald death trap tyres?

I like looking at pictures, but I also get a great deal of pleasure if I get the opportunity to chat with or spend time in the company of busty brunettes of child-bearing age (mid-twenties onwards for clarification), so I’m pretty sure he gets a similar thrill when chatting with children.

Do you actually get a sexual thrill from chatting to a woman? I hope you don’t work in Tesco, ‘Excuse me young man, could you tell me where the petit pois are please? Young man? Young man?’ Clean up on aisle three…

Is a peadophile someone who gets off on petit pois?

Is it ok to get off on regular pois then?

Inclined, it was a one legged joke (for the hard of thinking and professionally offended)

No you sausage, it’s a play on words, even paedos get it

Maybe he’s no longer that way inclined…

A mono-podophile…

Looks like a speed screw to me

Chop it in for an RX8 while you still can…
