However, not openly an aggressive country according to recent history. A lot of rhetoric but that’s all.

Mmmm – I’ve been thinking the same!

Goodies – goody goody gum gum LOL

Where I used to work we had a Belgium office and the contacts name was Bert Sars – cue giggles a-plenty. We later found out that his wife was called Gloria !!!!

ernie_lynch – what’s your take on this?

Historically Iran is a peaceful or at least, non aggressive country – but it does worry me for sure.

Follow grumm’s advice

I think it also depended on where you lived and how well off you were.

(sighs)…guitar marketing still alive and well I see 🙂

Nothing wrong with brands, styles, Floyd Rose trems, Flying Vs etc. but get a guitar that has mojo. It’s an instrument not a car or a bike, find one that’s “alive” and sings in your hands. There’s a lot of dead wood out there dressed up to look pretty, you got to try them and be patient but it’s worth the wait. Don’t just get a guitar because it’s a good deal. A lot of the vintage guitars that are bought for loads of money by collectors are only available now because they were the guitars that no one wanted and left on the shelf. The best instruments would have been played to death – that’s what you should be looking for, otherwise in a few months down the line it’ll be stuck in the corner of a bedroom somewhere collecting dust IMO.
I’ll leave it at that.

My advice is this. I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years and you can go to a shop and see two of the same model, same spec. guitar and they will sound different whether electric or acoustic.
At that budget forget the name, try to ignore the colour and gismos and just play as many guitars in your price range as you can. I promise you, if you do that, the guitar will find you.

The praying hands were those of his brother who lost the use of them working in the mines in order to fund his brothers paintings (or something like that)

LOL @ RudeBoy 🙂

Fantastic – thank you my friend!

Yes I’ve sussed it but Fotopic is so slow!

Northumberland House by Canaletto if anyone can post it big please 🙂

So what brings you on here – Che?

psychle – had the same problem when trying to create address labels at Christmas. Word seems hopeless and very non user-friendly in this mode. I managed to do them eventually but it was a very Heath Robinson affair. Can you ask a PA to help you?

Fantastic! Many thanks indeed.

druidh I’ve downloaded TweakUI Powertoy but can’t see where you customise Autoplay?

Thanks

Well said jova54 !!!

Well I live on the south coast and I think that’s very unfair – I’m off to cry in my shandy now!

‘Che Guevara’s’ real name was Ernie Lynch – well, Ernesto Guevara-Lynch, to give him his full name. ‘Che’ was what his mates called him in Fidel’s insurgency.

That’s terrible!

Strange though – I wonder if there is a link between the temperature of the Earth and the activity of the sun? Maybe global warming isn’t man-made?

Twin peaks LOL!

sharki – you might want to open the link LOL

I’m waiting to hear if I’ve managed to land a job at Goodwood so drop me line if you decide to go.

Bez – er no…title then read the post 🙂

Ernie – she only has to call reception not a security desk, it was only seconds

My thoughts exactly Ernie.

RudeBoy = clue: very nearly 🙂

paulosoxo – how so?
