Well, for me I feel sad at his passing because although as a person he had serious issues, nevertheless he wrote, sang and performed fantastic songs which will live on and were a part of my youth. RIP MJ

Not quite the same though is it!

This is a great site:-

Hot Cake is my fav pedal at the moment

SST the support for the soldiers could be a problem maybe? Are you still in the UK btw?

tankslapper – you’ve got mail 🙂

Hi stratobiker, well I’m doing this as properly as I can – a bit like the ol’ JC song of how he built a Cadillac one bit at a time LOL!

I’ve managed to source over many years nearly all the parts as originals and learned loads in the meantime! It’s been very educational and I reckon I could spot a forged Strat from a real one now. For example, turning ratio on the single line Kluson tuners, length of pickup screws, type of neck screws used etc. Plus you need to understand how they were built at the time and that nothing was standard but a combination of inaccuracies would give the game away.

Anyhow I reckon that I should have mine finished by the end of the Summer, all being well, and nope, she’ll not be for sale 🙂

If you want to send them to me I’ll email back my comments.
I was made redundant last month and have managed to secure 12 interviews so far so my CV can’t be too shonky.

SB – no, I’m currently recreating a 1962 Fiesta Red Strat as authentically as I can. I was born in 1962 but could never afford the genuine article. 🙂

Yes indeed – but not just the part where your arm would rest!
I don’t mean to get too anal about this but if you look at any Relic Strat advertised it always has the wear on this part of the body as if it’s typical and my point is is that I find it strange because I don’t think this is the case.

Exactly my point – that CS SRV doesn’t have that stupid arm wear bit 🙂

Mmm but the wear isn’t where his arm is resting though is it?

Oh nice, okay, but the wear isn’t the same as the ‘Relic wear’ though! I know the Nitro finish would dull and wear through in places but I still think that the Relic look is somehow just wrong. Thanks for the link btw – lovely Strat.

All the time you feed your body sugar then it doesn’t start using it’s own, hence, you gain weight.

I’d like to know some of the dangers / problems with caffeine.

Cheers

MP’s seem to have asbestos under-garments! It’s a complete white-wash!!

Indeed, doesn’t go any way to installing any trust! How they can call each other “Honourable” beats me – they don’t know the meaning of the word !!

is not = isn’t
does not in any way = doesn’t

English don’t you know 🙂

Congratulations

Thanks

TimP What do you do?

Oi Golfchick – don’t diss the conkers – they really work I tell you !!

This is really going to help re-establish public confidence – NOT!

Due to redundancy our holiday plans are canceled sadly 🙁

Okay time for a serious answer, yes, use conkers. Place them near your doors and in corners of rooms – no more spiders. Sorry but I can’t explain why but I can testify it works. 🙂

If it was down to me I’d sack the lot and get in people who had had experience working in the real world and honest common sense as a prerequisite!

Anyone remember another Whitehouse fav of mine – Help!

Watch it and enjoy it for what it was not what CL did btw.

“get an ipod or music player,”

Not sure I would recommend that on safety grounds and also…

“she has an inner ear/balance problem.”

More trouble…

LOL!

LOL I am thinking there may be slightly negative stereotyping going on! 🙂

Personally I’ve always respected women and never degraded them.

Media clampdown announced – not good.

Regulation accurate head scarf wearing or else official face screaming, no girls to ride bikes !!! Mmmmm – this I find harder to figure.

SaboteurCherie – over to you.

All he did was ask them to reconsider – good for him IMHO.

SaboteurCherie – enfht (btw get the name right) has the right to an opinion, it may be wrong (which I also think it is) but to start insulting them with such venom is exactly (on a larger scale) how wars and trouble start and with respect, you lower yourself to a level beneath you.
You’re also assuming that they’re male too.
Constructive comment is the way here not insults.

Banks rule the Government which rules the Law which in turn rules the people and somewhere in the gutter lies democracy, accountability, decency, honour and truth.

It’s not just some policy decision, a lot of people died and are still dying and the government is responsible because they decided – ignoring most people’s wishes to not go to war!

He’s just so full of broken promises I can’t trust him at all or his party. It’s a real crock.

Just more political cr@p
