Sold the Helix last week, not with anything in mind but I fancied a change, had the money for a few days keeping an eye on the used market, not being hasty (very unlike me) avoided the temptation to head to some music shops yesterday. Lo and behold this pops up on TradeMe (Kiwi ebay) 10 minutes from where I live, in flawless condition for $1400 (about £700) which happens to be $50 less than I sold the helix for. It was listed, bought by me and back in my house within an hour Course I don't have a cab to run it through as yet but...baby steps?

We sign a distinctly average 28 year old midfielder who BURNLEY have let go on a free and hes crowing about improving us I know plenty of Burnley fans, none of them really give a shit that he's leaving and if that doesn't say all there is to say about this signing I don't know what does.

Callum Wilson.

Back to level two for the rest of the country while they do tracking as well. Bit of grumbling in the office this morning but none of it's directed at the government. If Labour don't stroll the election next month based on the last couple of years ill be astonished.

This has turned out to be worse news than I thought it was at the time

Residency first, which we have an application in for but the processing time on those is huge, it will likely be this time next year before we hear anything if were lucky, and that app went in in February. so this is a bit of a bridge visa for now, there is basically a “you asked me to apply for residency” (Its an invite situation) option that gets them processed quickly.

Mrs A is playing Breath of the Wild for the first time, which has led me to picking it up as well. I honestly can't recommend it enough, if you have a switch and you haven't played it, fix that. Its absolutely brilliant.

And just yesterday our next visa was approved and we've got another year here! I cannot quite explain the feeling of relief at getting that email.

Baines has retired lads. Its off.

Well, Villa didnt go down which is a shame but at least Troy Deeney has done.

Aww now that's not true at all. Well, the second bit isn't anyway. New Zealand is fucking brilliant though.

That was fascinating. Their conclusion on what sort of person all of this makes JK Rowling is considerably kinder than mine

Aye, the twist is that it is monday

How have we gone from being surprised at how strong we were in quality and depth at centre back when we were playing three at a time last season to "Andy Carroll has offered to play centre back tomorrow" Oh. Oh yeah.

Historically they have as far as I know. Maybe not with covid stuff?

Warmoth would do whatever you wanted, just had a look and a full scalloping would be $110 on top of whatever the price for whatever you wanted was.

Have any of you been following Chris Bucks channel on youtube at all? I've been familiar with him for a while after appearances on Andertons and TPS but I've dived a bit deeper over the weekend. What a player, love the finger/thumb playing for the most part, his opening jams and stuff are fantastic. Enjoyed the '62 Strat journey videos, would recommend if you've not had a look. Highway one has landed at my Mother in laws house for the time being, until I can ship it out here, some more pictures are showing it to be in fantastic nick, I suspect it has barely been played in its life so far. Planning some mods to it already, despite not having any idea how it sounds or plays just yet think a black pickguard will be going on it, probably some locking tuners and an upgrade to the pots and switches on the assumption that its wired wrong like most lefties are.

I'd have a shell pink strat or tele with a black pickguard any day of the week! But I also like Gemmills new one so...

I have acquired a fender highway one strat in wine red to eventually make its way to me out here this week. bit of a bugger to ship but the price was good and I know the seller, quite excited, haven’t owned a strat since the squier I started playing on.

Your spinner would need something attached to take speed, time or distance readings I would've thought?

Some lovely finishes for our goals! Bournemouth look terrible, from the highlights it looked as though they didn't get a tackle in on one of our players while we were in their half, every time we attacked there was acres of space in the 20 yards outside their box.

my hairs shorter than that these days tbh

We’ve got the app- hire electric scooters all over Christchurch now, they’re brilliant tbh.

Watching pete honore not be able to do this has provided me with an unreasonable amount of inner peace regarding my own playing.

that’s gaudy as shit and I love it!
