  1. Treachery, really, as there was less innuendo with simply 'Staines' (there are no stains on the Thames there...). The original name was fine, and had a history... '... It later appears as Stanis (1167), Stanys (1428), Steynys and Staynys (1535), before the modern spelling "Staines" is first used in 1578. The name derives from the Old English stān, meaning "stone", and may refer to a Roman milestone on the London to Silchester road that survived into the early Anglo-Saxon period....'
  2. Yeah, but I'm old, innit. T'was definitely there, but had a far dingier look than the clean, white, sterile photo of the area since. High brick walls made it a rather insalubrious place to wander, and in the dark, even frightening, with a tunnel through under the railway line back towards Staines centre. How things change, eh..?
  3. Give the kid her pencils back. ...
  4. You are Alanis Morissette and I claim my five pounds.
  5. Nothing wrong with that. Suitably sober, adds to the whole song. Well done.
  6. That wouldn't work; IP addresses are between 0 and 255.
  7. Maybe speed up a couple of the longer tracks to get the overall playing time right..? If the pitch goes up a little on those tracks, it shouldn't show, as long as it's not 'Pinky'n'Perky' speed. Just a thought.
  8. Sorry (maybe it's me; it's late...); how is the p/u connected to the jack plug..? Is it soldered..? Can you post a photo of your connection..? 'Buzzing' will occur if the amp is turned up with no decent connection to its source (the p/u...). The p/u should be soldered to the jack socket, and a screened lead plugged in to the socket, then to the amp. Does it still 'buzz' when connected like that..?
  9. Read this, maybe..? https://garethdylansmith.com/reviews/2020/10/18/phil-mann-chord-tone-concepts
  10. It wouldn't have helped you anyway; we can't see you dancing on Soundcloud.
  11. Is there any other way..? I've never thought of it, but I can't imagine how one may not do this (nor yet silence that little voice incessantly rattling away between one's ears...).
  12. I found myself humming a melody, over the space of a few days, and thought, after a while 'What is that..?'. Upon searching a bit, it turned out to be a piece I had, myself, composed a few years earlier..! Dummkopf..!
  13. Ooo look..! A bee..!
  14. It's an easy fix for anyone with a modicum of competence. The broken jack plug gets cut off, and a new stereo (TRS...) jack plug soldered onto the cut end of the cable. About five minutes; a suitable jack plug (it's nothing special...) costs a couple of pounds or so for a good'un. Hope this helps.
  15. Well, with nothing more than a link I'm not going to follow, it's completely useless to me. I'm not that good at cryptic crosswords, either. ...
  16. He's changed a lot since 'Braveheart'. ...
  17. Cindy Blackman flew from New York to Los Angeles for an audition.
  18. I always mix with headphones, then check at the end with my monitors. Just sayin'.
