does it come with iSpy?

thanks Jamie; TBH we're not expecting huge sales but any sale is a bonus; even if we don't sell too many, getting people to listen & then maybe come through the door at the next live gigs is the important thing.

bugger

nice pics anyway 🙂

why not give the whole door a new coat of white?

£16 Leeds – Bradford after missing the last bus & train home, having been to a gig at The Warehouse

might not sound like much, but it was 1983.

I learnt from that. Next time I missed the last bus/train back from Leeds, I crashed in the waiting room at Leeds railway station with a few mates

isn't that what rivers do? 😉

(a)

right click on the image you want to post, then select "Copy Image Address"

then paste it into the text box and put "(img)" before it and "(/img)" after it; replace the round brackets with square brackets.

that's about all there is to it

Come on, do it properly at least ffs…

do you really need reminding what London Calling sounds like? 🙄

London Calling

Wait For The Blackout on The Black Album – The Damned

cheers Graham, that's good to know 🙂 I'll try that another time

It's a Sony A200 or something

I did do a couple portrait too. More here[/url]

it really is that colour – no filters or anything. Lake Louise, Alberta.

"I hate those meeses to pieces"

these are just snapshots, uncropped; is there anything interesting I could do with them?

Bradford Uni beer festivals used to sell by the half pint

and never mind the folk band, they always had an oompah band 😯

I mostly use it for my band stuff. I need to "friend" promoters, venues & other bands so I can get gigs, although mostly that's done away from FB – for now at least.

My MTB buddies are "friends"; I even have some old friends on FB from when I was at uni 20+ years ago; family too

But I draw the line at work colleagues, past or present.

didn't the gold jackets tell you it was going to be a "function" band?

Something about the whole "weddings/bar mitsvahs/corporate" bands (over there in particular) that just leaves me cold; pub cover bands* in the UK are not, IMO, much better.

Yes they can play the songs well (sometimes) but give me original material played maybe not so well any day – that's where the real soul of music is.

*we had a bass player for about 4 weeks in 2009 who decided that the original material we were playing was not for him, even though he'd heard it & learnt it before his audition. Found his pub-covers band on Myspace the other day – embarrassing doesn't even touch it

Maybe but (a) I can't afford one and (b) I'm stuck with the (very nice) Saab for 4 more years

Unexpected New vacancy at Aston Villa?

Work/life balance? Too much commuting?

Lifelong dream of being a transvestite rock singer with Twisted Sister?

Overall litres of boot space not as important to me as the gap between the wheelarches.

I have a big wheeled bag full of cymbal stands that would only fit diagonally in the bmw, but fits nicely between the arches on the Saab. That leaves room between the bag & the tailgate for cymbals, snare drum and 4 rack toms, and still let's me see out of the back window. Floor tom & kick drum go on 2 of the 3 back seats, leaving me room for myself & 2 passengers.

I never got all that in the old beemer with room for 2 passengers

Yes, mine was the old shape so that would make it an E46. It was a lovely car but the boot was too small for my luggage needs (although not when I bought it)

When I came to trade it in, I would have considered looking at the new shape but for the purchase price.

For £13k I got a 57 plate Saab 9-3TTiD estate with leather, dual zone climate control, satnav, bluetooth and, most importantly to me, a decent sized boot. The equivalent new shape 3-series touring would have cost me over £20k.
Too much for me this time round

Anyway, the Z4 looks really nice, enjoy

all that will easily fit in a 335i/335d Touring

yeah, if you forget about taking any passengers.

3 series Touring boot is slightly bigger than an Alfa sportwagon's, but not by much. An estate car it is not. I had one. I don't any more.

Poor Bradford. It deserves better

I was going to post something about a nuclear weapon, but given the date, I thought better of it

ah, that would explain it. Someone needs to give them a geography lesson though 😉

if you've simply removed them from your friends list, they'll never even know. They might notice that they don't see any of your posts any more, but it's no big deal

you mean our lovely new landscaped "urban meadow"?

it's fine now.

it was off from afternoon Thursday until Saturday lunchtime last week

I'm in Baildon, about 5 miles away, but apparently the outage was "in the Bradford area"

Who?

Not petesgaff, the other fella

Indeed, it may already be too late.

Well I stand corrected 😯

Allopurinol does the trick for me. I was on 100mg tabs and would still get the odd attack, which I then control with the delightful indometacin.
After a few years of this, GP upped the dose from what she referred to as "tiny" to 300mg. Touch wood I've not had an attack since…

Due a review in october so I might see if I can manage it with diet & plenty of hydration

"Haggis induced"?

Methink he taking the mickey

the glass shouldn't be an issue, it's the frame & sash that might be – but any decent joiner worth his/her salt should be able to do something on that score. No reason not to replace it with d/g either

Now is as good a time as any IMO.

But you may as well go to a well known Spanish bank, as at the rate they're buying everybody else, they'll soon be the only lender anyway.

And their customer service in the Shipley branch is truly, astonishingly awful

Brown recluse spider bite

Really quite unpleasant

Yes. Go see GP, you'l probably get indometacin. Way better than ibuprofren but must be taken after food.

Mr Creosote is indeed an outdated view. There is a hereditary link but it's not a guarantee

If you get repeat attacks then GP will probably prescribe allopurinol to be taken daily for the rest of your life.
Beats getting repeat attacks

You might want to spend the rest of today updating your CV. Any prospects you had at your current companyy are now Scotch Mist
can you explain what I have done that's instantly sackable?

He's not implying that it was sackable, more so that your prospects with the company may have diminished somewhat.

exactly. I wasn't implying that it was sackable, just that you'd (a) pissed off your manager – never a bright thing to do, (b) gone to the MD –
not in itself a daft thing to do, but doing it on an email that you copied to your boss – "you plonker, Rodney".

They can't sack you for being stupid or insensitive, but your manager can certainly make sure you never get any juicy work to do; he'll never fight your corner if you need him to; and probably worst of all, he won't recommend you for a payrise. Ever.

In those circumstances, you may as well find somewhere else to work.
