Been to Southampton but I’ve never been to Scunthorpe

To begin with I’d concentrate on making a sound that you recognise. Forget learning proper chords for now, they are hard, require several fingers and hurt, both in a sharp on the fingers way and also in a muscle achey way.

5ths or power chords only need two fingers and are the same shape all over the fretboard, just moved up or down a bit.

Slide the selector switch on the guitar to the back or second from back position for a meaty rock sound and let the fat of your hand rest on the strings, damping them, you’ll be a rock god before you know it.

Get that Pacifica, lovely guitars

My mate pissed out of a tall tree, but the wind changed and it blew all over his legs, how we Laughed.

Yo homes, keep an eye on gumtree, guitars are hard to learn and so get sold on cheaply after very little use, squier’s classic vibe and vintage mod range are very decent, their affinity models less so. You’ll also probably find a practice amp and cable all bundled up and ready to go in nearly new condition, have you got a mate who plays that you can take wih you?

Having just had a new baby 4 days ago, I’ll be getting, no, sleep, ’til Brooklyn.

Slim Jim – you mention a chilli forum, is there one you’d recommend? Maybe uk based? Cheers

I agree that the central chilli in the pic looks a little like a scorpion, knobbly and with a curved tail. Treat with real caution. Incidentally, how the flip do I post s pic direct from Flickr

I had a decent crop of prairie fire chillis this year, all started from seed that had come from fruits grown by my sister the previous year. Pretty easy to grow, P Fire aren’t very hot so you need a handful for cooking with (around30k shu) . I’ve also some young Trinidad scorpions I’m hoping to get through the winter as well as scorpion seeds for starting in the new year.

Buy a red poppy, tippex it white. That’s what we did at school, 25 years ago, the last time white poppies were popular.

Pearly gates vs eternal damnation ratio

Lol, I’ve read five pages of guff about a car I know nothing about and have never seen, finally a pic gets posted and it looks like a Rover 200. I’m wasting my life away…

Interestingly, though not very, cougar used the word ‘verboten’, showing a knowledge of German. However, in Germany, ‘Asian’ means originating from farther east, and ‘Oriental’ (again a word which ought to be used with consideration) means coming from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.

A child’s portion?

This feels a bit like the gun argument.

I used to deliver really fast cars, then I’d get in my regular old Citroen and drive home. No need to drive like a cheesemonger, no matter what you’re in.

I travelled a couple of hundred miles north on holiday to Buxton, only to meet my next door neighbours walking down the street. Weird, had no idea they were even going on holiday, they were supposed to be looking after the cat.

Brighton beach, Fat Boy Slim concert with a quarter of a million people in the crowd. I bumped into my brother and shortly after, the boyfriend of my girlfriend’s sister.

Tried a quick endo / tail whip in the garage on my Canadian mate’s Bmx. Brakes where set up Euro style and I flung myself to the floor like a suicidal haddock, rupturing my spleen. Stylish…

Ganja flashbacks?! Bargain, come on I’m waiting. What’s gonna happen, l start appreciating music and art really hard whilst guzzling biscuits?

Your shrink sounds like she’s taken her drugs info from the mid 70’s, man

I get an ad for some sort of Fluoro orange bum bag, what is this, 1994? And tubeless kits, neither of which have ever disgraced my google searches. Bring on the ladyboys, I say.

Cumoverme1975@ blah blah blah

Mate’s email that I only spotted when he accidentally sent Tom that and not his work address via his phone

Lols

Doesn’t all alcohol have the same effect, the effect of alcohol? how about legal highs? Mm tasty, if the scumbags of my town are to be believed.

Don’t blame a certain type of booze for making you act a certain way, you got drunk and acted like a tit.

Hand offered palm down? Weird, respond with a scissors motion, boom!

Specialized Pitch
DMR Trailstar

Hole punches in the umbrella was a fave where I worked, not a euphemism, sadly

Just back from another Trailstar flavoured grin-fest, the thing is so bloody great that, sod it, I’m keeping it.

Maybe it’s not so fast or so confidence inspiring as newer frame geometry, but hold tight and lean hard and it’s as rewarding a ride as I can handle.

I don’t need anything new, I ragged the Trailstar round Innerleithen a few months back and it was just fine, I’ve got the pitch for steeper stuff, just wondered If I was missing anything important. Dartmoor Primal cheap new on eBay for 160ish

What’s the difference between a slackline and the other Stanton that’s similar?

Diet Coke (in California at least) carried a similar warning 20 years ago, dunno if it still does

Dmr Trailstar, still used most days

Called the London mod and used for bike polo

My Prarie Fires are currently 4″ of fiery mayhem, though yet to flower or bear fruit.

Mop up with a baby robin

Maybe it was your old kettle that made tea taste funny.

Have you tried gin?

Your frame is used as a template, I spend all day doing it,

mine seems to be, after about 6 months of abuse

The only thing we can talk from this is that indeed ‘these Germans are crazy’. I use it as a daily excuse for not learning the language properly.

Hmm, my gf is German, according to her hans dampf means a clumsy person, an oaf, though (from my translater app) as part of the phrase ‘Hans Dampf in allen Gassen’ means a handy guy to have around, so who wants an oaf when you need a handyman?
