I can't, I haven't watched QI for a couple of weeks
instead I'll bore you with what I did at the weekend.

Ordered some wedding rings among other things. I was planning on getting a titanium one, which would cost me about £30, but when I tried it on my internal snob wouldn't allow it, so ended up spending 10 times as much on palladium...

You got the London Palladium for £300?

I call bullshit
I reckon you've got fingers like the TGV

Is this the easiest post to strikethrough of all time?

like the TGV?
really fast?

I don't understand what you are saying here

I meant as big as a train
But being a guitarist it stands to reason you do have reasonably fleet fingers. TGV may be slightly generous, unless Dumber Than Your Average Bear are a Slayer tribute band

my fingers are actually quite slim
they are fairly quick, not Slayer quick though

Here's a question for you, as a musician, on the subject of covers bands
There's an act called Guns 2 Roses playing Norwich soon. As a long-time G'n'R fan (no, fuck YOU. All of you) who's never seen them live, will it be even remotely worth my while?

could be good
I've seen a decent GNR tribute act before. It's usually the singers that let tribute acts down.

Come to think of it, I may have even seen that particular one, in which case I recommend you get drunk and go see them.

white gold?
it was weird, the one I've gone for looks basically the same as the titanium one, but it just wasn't heavy enough. I tried a platinum one, which helped by being the right size, but it was a grand. Quite the premium...

Half a month's wages, innit? Oh man, unless you don't think that something you'll wear 24/7 for the rest of your living days is worth just 10 days work.... or you've got a really low wage.
I don't know why I said that, it's mean, I'm sure it's lovely and you like it very much

I thought the rule was for engagement rings
and was a months/2 months wages?

at any rate, my mrs' engagement ring was about half a months salary. Considering the wedding rings are fairly plain bands of metal you'd be an idiot to spend more than the basic price of the metal on them.
