Bye bye Lusty bash, I think.
Although I'm sure more will crop up before then.

Evening all, I'm still at work but seeing as I'm now unsupervised and it's all flexi hours anyway, I may as well start with the slacking.

How are things?

Adventure?
I highly suggest you visit Whitby No3l. A brilliant little town. That, and Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay, and Flamborough Head. I might join you for a few drinks in Whitby :P

As for the York Bash, I'm heading there too. What's stopping you going to bashes then Mel?

Anyways, if you will excuse me, I'm off to cook my dinner- whatever I can rustle up...

Hello everyone.
Not only am I not a bash virgin, I have actually held a bash in my house. Twas a small affair and very sophisticated.

Well OK Pooflake and Captain Placid were there but me and Chickenlady did our best to crank up the sophistication as much as possible.

Ooo! of course Beekers, I've had two. How could I forget : )

It all depends on work, of course- if I can get hired full time so I get things like health insurance and vacation time it'll be nice- and yes, I'd happily invest a chunk of my vacation time in coming over there.

Still no word over here on whether or not they are going to make me full-time, of course. Bastards.

(b) a bash where we all watch DVDs of Hugh Laurie being a limping misanthrope?

Stay off it..
..if you can. Just a few weeks off the booze does wonders for the liver. Then you can get back on it again..

I've run out of Pepsi Max (best cola there is in the UK, fact) so it might have to be neat whisky. Fine if it's single malt, but this stuff is cheap and a bit dirty.. perhaps an early night beckons.

Not sure I want all the milk in hot chocolate - milk gives me adult acne for some reason. Perhaps a very strong coffee brewed with a percolater is in order but can I be arsed?

Yeesh
Watching Waterloo Road with teachers is like watching Casualty with my Mum- who is a qualified nurse.

"Pfshaw... that would never happen!!"

Or yelling the correct treatment options at the screen. Last I heard, TV drama wasn't a participatory sport.

I mean, it's not like I yell out plot holes or inaccuracies when watching something involving the British Army. I mean, that would be incredibly annoying. Does anyone else experience this?

yeah you are right
hopefully I will get the guys to buy me one from band profits. that way this isn't shopping for a purchase that won't come for 2 years

PJM: if only it were that simple. I don't know much about amps, but I know what I want.

An all-tube amp around 20-30W with at least 2 channels that I can get a bluesy sound out of but a hard rock one too.

Fender do something ideal, but it would be way too loud for my purposes.

I have one piece of advice about guitars..
..get a Dipinto. A lot of bang for the buck. Good, serious basses too.

The expenditure should go on an old school valve amp. Something pre-1963 that's made in the US or the UK.. take a gamble on Ebay.

Otherwise, hire me.. I have cheap equipment but it makes a racket. I have a good ear for droney drone drone drone like what with Spacemen 3 and that. Pip pip!
