Yeah I did that too after I posted the above. They seem to come in waves. Not that many to be seen at the moment - which is a good thing 👍

Looking at basses for sale by start date, it doesn’t look too onerous.

Although I do agree with you to a certain extent (i.e. it’s not always the case) in your position as a moderator, is this not something that could be addressed? The stoopid ‘emoticon in the headers’ thing also annoys me. I don’t even bother looking at any listing that has them as I don’t want to deal with idiots. Just wondering if there could be some listing approval system with an option to reject if it doesn’t pass muster? Probably too much work to put on someone I would think.

Good work man. Like it 👍

Love mule being used as a verb. Definite entry into the great nerd dictionary.

….or you could just circumvent the supporting member requirement and post it as a status update 😎. I have never understood why communications that were clearly intended as personal messages often end up as status updates. In fact, I don’t really understand the point of status updates at all. 

Good work mate 👏

Not even 12 hours in and it’s up to 20% of target. We can do this.

….and Moog and Roland were also well represented.

I don’t really know what’s not to like about them. I’m seriously thinking of buying another one.

Message one of the team.

….and I’ve only just noticed how long we have to wait for the whole album! August 😬

I like the song, but I'm not crazy about the mix. Sounds very toppy to my ears, but that may well be a Nick Cave thing. I'm far from an expert as far as he's concerned.

Yes it is. I’ve been playing it for a while now. It’s usually our last number before the inevitable encores. I was watching a live performance of Jeff Lynne’s recently (Glasto I think) and noticed that he’s simplified the end of the third chorus compared to the original recording. It’s one of my favourite parts of the song and wondered why he changed it.

Not really my wheelhouse Clarky, but if I wasn't already gigging I'd struggle down the road to see ya.

Break a leg a.k.a. GLWTS(how)

I do quite a few Madness tunes across various bands and I never get bored of them. Baggy Trousers, The Prince, One Step Beyond, It Must Be love, House of Fun, Night Boat to Cairo and most recently, My Girl. I've yet to find the opportunity to do Embarrasment and Wings of a Dove.

Presto gets a bit of stick, but I’ve never understood why as it’s a great album.

It also contains one the bands favourite songs, The Pass.

I’m surprised they actually jabbed you in the same arm. That seems to be a no-no here when getting both. My Dad had both in different arms last week and had no adverse effects whatsoever and he’s 92!

@ForbiddenWytch - because BD (and I'm sure they are not alone) have a history regarding stock management. It has been detailed here many times. I've no beef with them, but I know if there is something they say they have, I'll take a couple of minutes to ring them and buy it that way. Disregarding that, why involve a third party in the transaction when you don't have to. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, it's on them, but why on earth didn't you contact them directly?

I’m afraid it’s not @Rich. To be fair, there are thousands of plates that fall much further outside of the rules, so I probably wouldn’t worry too much about it. At least ANPR will be able to read your registration number (should it be stolen etc). 

Yep, me too 😜

Pick yourself up @Rich, the world is full of these morons unfortunately. They should absolutely be challenged, but I’d refuse to further than that as it’s a waste of time and effort. Nothing you can type will change the idiot gene. FWIW, I don’t suffer from epilepsy, but they give me a blinding headache and I rather not go to a show that features strobes excessively. There is so much more that can be done with lighting these days without resorting to them. Ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

I've been listening to quite a bit of The Interrupters. I also watched the KROQ DTS Sound Space gig on You Tube. I really like them.

He's a tidy player that Justin Bivona.

Probably means it’s not in Bb 😂
