I just bought my daughter her first proper electric guitar


It actually plays quite well. In other news, I've got the shits.

That's pretty cool
you going to teach her some chords?

I'm certainly going to try.
I also need to teach her how to hold a pen properly. She's left-handed like me so it's all about how not to drag your hand through what you've just written.

But you got her a right handed guitar

easier to learn it that way with your strong hand on the strings
That's how Mark Knopfler plays.

Me too.
As a teenager obsessed with Jimi Hendrix and being left-handed, I was fucking gutted to discover that I naturally played right handed.

my cousin's left handed and used to
play a normal guitar upside down

I will but the poor sod's just gone to work.

My mate's left handed.
Watching him write is very weird, he practically has the A4 piece of paper in landscape position and writes vertically from top to bottom.

It's a pain in the arse but I'm proud to be left-handed nevertheless.
My surname is a term for left-handedness in the Borders and our clan has 3 in 10 left-handers, as opposed to the normal 1 in 10. Our castle had the spiral staircases going the opposite way from normal for this reason. I'm the only proper one in my family - I'm really pleased that my daughter is too.

I choose to read 'proper one in my family'
As 'proper Benny in my family'

Therefore, you've called your daughter a Benny.

I choose to read every single thing you post, ever, as
'I am an African Bum Cleaner'

And you'd be right.

Speaking of surnames and their meanings.
Me and my mates were absolutely delighted to find out that Kennedy, the surname of our mate who's the butt of all our jokes, means 'ugly head'. So if you know anyone with the surname Kennedy, this piece of information should come in handy.

No Kennedy had a more ugly head than that spastic JFK after someone shot him in the face.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 3 Sep 2011, 14:35, Reply)

This is true.
I just googled Kennedy meaning, I love the description on one site. "Definition: Ugly head; one who had an ugly head", as if ugly head on it's own wasn't adequate enough.

I have known that for years
much to the dismay of a girl I have known for a long time who has recently rejoined my extended group of friends whose name is Catherine Uglyhead

Your surname is Monghand?
I shouldn't, I'm left-handed like the rest of off-topic. Only freaks and spastics are right-handed OT regulars.
