the TV Guide has recently changed.

I didn't like the new style, for about 30 seconds, until I got used to it. Now I much prefer it

There should be a mini-screen in the top right corner showing what you're currently watching, but when you pick a new channel, it changes to preview the new channel. Press <select> again to go full screen with the new channel. Favourites = yellow; page up / page down are now the Ch +/- buttons.

12kHz here, age 44.

But I have been playing drums since I was 15, hearing damage is permanent but (touch wood) not too severe just yet.
Must get some earplugs sorted out so it doesn't get any worse

meh

because it's Microsoft and it knows best

I kind of thought so. The others don't look like cyclists ;-)

mind you, neither do I these days ;-)

apparently it isn't

you can hear our guys here: http://www.myspace.com/wickeffect

willej – I like that. Which one's you?
I'm a bit more obvious on our pics: http://www.wickeffect.co.uk/page1.html

in no particular order
The Damned – New Rose
Siouxsie & The Banshees – Happy House
The Southern Death Cult – Moya
New Model Army – Green & Grey
Guns & Roses – Sweet Child Of Mine
The Cure – A Forest
The Sisters Of Mercy – Temple Of Love (83)

why wait until tomorrow?

12 years since I gave up, haven't missed it a bit

The Clash – could've should've didn't
Siouxsie & The Banshees – ditto
can't think of anybody else

ton – which key members were the Pistols missing? Sid was hardly "key", he couldn't play a note. I saw their filmed gig from 2007 on the telly the other week – Cook, Jones, Matlock & Lydon were all there.

A 15W amp cannot cope in a rehearsal room situation with a live drummer. Trust me, I know ;-)
But on the ither hand, as you say, 100W is probably too much

very good :-)

personally speaking I'd go for an amp that doesn't do modelling, and have a separate set of pedals (or 'pod' – multi-pedal) (like what grumm said)

One of our guitarists has a Mesa Boogie amp & separate pedal board, the other guy has a Vox AC30 & separate pedal board. The AC30's knackered though, so he's just ordered a 'powered speaker' (4×10) and will rely on his effect to change the sound

the bass player has a choice of Hartke & Trace Elliott heads and separate speaker cabs. normally he brings the Hartke head & a 4×12 cab, but last week he brought the TE. It sounded soooo much better :-)

but what do I know, I'm only a drummer ;-)

Katee Sackhoff

Starbuck!?!?!?!??!

Don't bother with the christmas tree – simples

1) New Model Army – http://www.newmodelarmy.org
2) The Wick Effect – http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/thewickeffect

all else is redundant ;-)

I wonder how many of you would meet her standards

it stays in the keg until you've drunk it all, assuming the keg is a pressure barrel. might take a week or 2 to clear first though

you'll need to top up the barrel with CO2 later though

I guess the invitation next door to "take away" was just too tempting

embarrassing? no, not really. youth? not really, aged 23 3/4 or there abouts

yes, they were mine. lasted another 5 years after I stood on them, until I "grew up" & stopped using them. Shame I broke the spring as well, but it didn't seem to do any harm

for the benefit of those who haven't seen it, me c1988
.

I once stepped on a pair of crimpers, broke them down the hinge. nice suitable sized bolt & 2 nuts, sorted

None

Bah humbug

Naughty & shouldn't really be consumed without the anasthetic benefit of a skinful of beer, but…

Doner kebab with lots of chilli sauce. Nom nom nom

Ch5 is no great loss IMO. I can't think of anything I've ever watched on 5

aye, them's the ones :roll:

you're colourblind. there's even some brown on the green

WGAS about no 1 these days?

I like your thinking CG :-)

Haven't even started thinking about starting

You say it was in the house when you moved in. How long ago was that?

Might need mending with a new one

only manflu, just dragging on longer than I've ever had one before.

The Sisters do still tour every few years, but I don't think Eldritch was the creative most one in the band. I think they've written another 10 or so songs in the last 15 years or so, and have fallen out with their record company

Bingley Bash here too, but I've a short ride or drive from Baildon to get into St Ives

been ill for the last 2 weeks, bike is going nowhere until that clears up :(

similar to what I've got – Alesis DM5Pro electronic kit & Mapex M birch kit, with a mix of Zildjian ZBT, Paiste & Sabian cymbals, but I'm looking to replace the Zildjians longer term with something nicer, like Sabian AA or AAX.

what are you selling though? I may be in the market for some cymbals

BTW did you get those MP3s?

I reckon that might have been on the same tour

doh! walked into that one ;-)

oh yeah, 3 Johns were ace. ADB was a superb album, I think I still have it on cassette somewhere.

<goes off to rummage>

I still have my hair, but it's mostly grey now. I'm 44 FFS

then:

now:

(well, July actually, just after the last haircut)
