Blastronaut

So long as everyone stays safe and healthy, 10 days isolation for us all would suit me fine tbh. I'm mostly just fucked off that my other half spaffed £80 on tickets for us to see the Darkness tommorow and my last-ditch get out clause is now pending PCR results.

We're all fine man, no symptoms but it's fucking rife in the kids school so testing fairly regularly. Just a massive ballache, the other lateral flows were all negative but I'm not holding out much hope for a false positive, the lad attends the autism provision at the school and 3/4 of his class haven't been there this last week.

Ah the fucking joys. Third born has just gone and tested positive on a lateral flow. Just had to haul our family of six down for walk through PCR tests. Quite the experience though, kids got to witness the testing staff get hardcore with a wee old wife with an oxygen tank that refused to wear a face covering.

Ah cool. I never really digged into the whole 3 humbucker wiring. Mind my local shop when I was a kid had a beautiful black LP with three humbuckers that Iusted after, always wondered what fucking use it was if the pickup switch was still three way. Guess that's my bedtime reading tonight sorted. Bit unconventional for a Tuesday night wank but I'm not complaining.

Love an SG. Is it meant to be out of phase or did they fuck up the wiring at the factory?

Thought most of them had two truss rods? You'd think that would make them more stable but I guess i can see how it would lead to confusion and potential issues if they're not adjusted properly. Maybe I just dreamt that. Two truss rods, two jack sockets, weird proprietary bridge and some extra knobs for good measure. Easy to understand why they didn't become more mainstream.

Aye Firebirds look and sound great (those mini humbuckers are the bollocks) but feel totally unwieldy. Sure I read somewhere that what we think of as the Firebird is actually the reverse-Firebird and vice-versa. Someone early on apparently went "fuck playability, it looks much better reversed, let's just pretend that first line didn't happen". Don't reallly have much experience with Rickenbackers tbh, they look and sound great (especially the bass's) but strike me a tech's worst fucking nightmare.

Plain old Firebird for me. Just like how they look so much I'm prepared to overlook the fact they all just feel like someone took a railway sleeper and put strings on it.

The lack of restrictions isn't a sign that it's over. More an indication of an incompetent government and a general population that can't think outside their own four walls.

Not compulsory for those attending, different story for the staff who in many cases just have to trust that everyone is double jabbed like you and not just some moron that thinks this is over. Gutted for your kid, glad for his teachers. Bad enough they have to deal with 20+ of the the little shits from different households on a daily basis in a pandemic. Cramming their parents and extended family into an assembly hall?

In a restaurant aye but in a good boozer that's like asking waiting staff to recite war and peace. Struggle to find a horseshoe bar as it is, mandatory "Sit the fuck down and we'll come to you" would be the death knell of all decent pubs.

Bollocks to that. How the fuck am I supposed to properly scrutinise the whisky selection if I'm not able to stand at the bar?

Unless you took it an upholsterers by mistake, I'd be looking for a new garage like.

I think you underestimate these thieves. The brazenness of this screams "phones theft gangs branching out to higher value goods" rather than junkies trying to tide themselves over for a few days. This guitar will be getting prepped for overseas shipping hoping to slip through customs in the Xmas rush.

The wife at the front with the mask is bassist, no fucking doubt about it.

Mental that only of them thought to wear a mask. Hope they get caught, if only for having bad enough taste to nick a PRS. I'd imagine a chain like guitarguitar are insured for this sort of shit though.

I dunno, to me it seems more like the issue is nothing to do with the forum being illiterate and everything to do with you being unable to make your point in a rational manner that engages constructive conversation.

He's appeared from nowhere to tell folk that Shelvey is some kind of underrated workhorse and ASM is shite. He's strikes me as the online equivalent of some loner appearing in my local boozer and shouting "Fuck Henrik Larsson, Shaun Maloney was the unsung hero of that team"

That doesnae work with folk like this. They don't want to be right, there's no closure there. They just need to convince themselves that everyone else wrong.

My biggest regret that still regularly haunts me was my reaction to an ordeal involving a family of known violent psychopaths a good 20 years ago when going back home to visit my mum. As much as I feel I was a total coward, I still cant see how I could've resolved the situation without volunteering to be a second victim. I totally get your reluctance to intervene.

Potter just needs a bit of time to grow into that beard. Didn't happen overnight for Southgate.

"Sorry mate, didn't realise you were severely allergic to peanuts. Have some dry roasted"

Our cat is a wee dick like, I can't stand him but since our neighbours have been really vocal about how much they hate cats I've been seriously considering getting another one.
