I went surfing yesterday
got to the end of one good wave quite close to the shore. It's always fun to dismount in a comedy way so I did a two footed drop kick. Turns out I was in about 6 inches of water, over a stony beach. Landed on my hip and now have a cluster of bruises. What a dumb ass.

I was going to say 'unlucky, mate'
but in truth it was rather foolish, wasn't it. Sorry you hurt yourself, though.

it was foolish
and my own fault for not paying attention. however, I'd rather I hurt myself than the other option which was grinding my surfboard across a stony beach under my weight.

Didn't hurt all that much too, and it was a fucking good wave :-)

I'm being offered a nice yamaha 12 string for £175 at the moment. I really want it, but I really shouldn't buy it....

acoustic?
I used to have one - my friend swapped it with a tramp for a 4-pack of Special Brew and I in turn paid him an eighth of shit hash for it. One of my better purchases, that one.

yeah
it's got a preamp and stuff. Think it's got stereo outputs as well so you can send half the strings to one output and half to another

Sounds pretty smart

they are nice guitars
other guitarist in my band has one already. I do quite fancy it, but I really shouldn't buy it.
