  1. ...and a Chocolate factory (with factory outlet in the town centre). We love Norfolk and would live there in an instant (if there was any work in my field). On the other hand, it is pretty much the same as Dorset, just flatter,
  2. Or just Norfolk drivers in general to be honest. Spend quite a bit of time up there, my wife's 'Aunt' lives near Fakenham. I saw Phil Campbell in Norwich at Epic Studios before Xmas. Nice little-ish venue.
  3. Also from another source: https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2020/01/guitar-company-fined-45m-for-anti-competitive-behaviour/
  4. Off up to Norfolk on Friday to see Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons in Norwich on Sunday night. Then its Alter Bridge at the O2 in December.
  5. Lets just say Cyber is a constantly changing environment and new attack vectors are being developed and discovered (and indeed patched) constantly.
  6. I found an internet website with the story, so I can now post this: https://www.teiss.co.uk/news/ncsc-kaspersky-lab-products/
  7. Well.....if the Russian company in question is Kaspersky - lets just say they are currently under the same scrutiny as Huawei by the NCSC and NSA at the moment.
  8. Don't get me started on "Microsoft Support phone calls.....". My F-I-L was only saved by the fact I had installed Mint on his PC, so they couldn't get access to his PC to hack him.
  9. Well....it used to be the case yes. Hopefully no one is still using old enough versions of Outlook etc that do that by default.
  10. That is a well known scam email. It is based on the some well known sites being hacked, your passwords acquired and then the hope that you still use the same password now to fool you into thinking they have hacked your system (PS change your passwords). Keep your AV engine up to date (free ones are available) and I recommend the installation of at least a basic software firewall (WIndows comes with one now, Linux always has).
  11. My brother went to the Metallica gig in Manchester last week - complaints about the sound quality there too.
  12. Martin Clunes was speaking to a Ukulele player called Taimane Gardner, in his USA Islands series. She was a rather good player (her Uke was a 5 stringer though!!!) and I think she has made some albums (corporate firewall is preventing me from digging much deeper).
  13. My fiancé bought me the flame version of the Rockabilly 3/4 DB as a present a few years ago. Moving home has prevented me from playing it recently but after fitting new strings and putting in a piezo, I think it is a great instrument - especially for a DB learner like me.
  14. I have the Cort B4 with an ACG Pre-Amp. Excellent build quality and wider neck than the Ibanez SR600 (which is essentially the same bass overwise). Pickups are a bit Meh and a beach to get replacements, as they are a weird size. Think I might have reviewed it on here....?
  15. Concorde? Mind you, in the distant past when I used to work on one of the last Comets, it's cockpit looked a lot like that too.
  16. Yes, visited the museum in Varna. There is also a quaint little naval museum with a motor torpedo boat outside. They are incredibly proud of that boat (it played a part in the independence fight against the Ottoman Empire). There was also a monastery built into a cliff face just off the road to Varna from Zlatni Piasaci. I stayed in Bulgaria for 2 weeks and set foot on the beach once....to find out the prices for the Jet Skis (turned out they were a little expensive for my taste).
  17. I was staying in Zlatni Piasaci (Golden Sands?) but I went on day trips to the medieveal town on a peninsula - cannot remember the name but it might be Nesebar (like a nice Portland lol) and the summer palace of the Romanian queen. Also got a taxi out to the petrified forest....which isn't a petrified forest at all. Some great roman ruins in Varna itself as well.
  18. I like Devin a lot - he is a really nice guy too. That pedal is very complex though - I suppose it has to be.
  19. Went to Bulgaria on holiday in the late 90s. Love Varna.
  20. When the middle school shut, they moved the Jim'll Fix It badge AND the Rolf Harris painting of Mary and the Baby Jesus to Wilton Community Centre (you can't make this up - WMS had Xmas shows for both of them!!). I would assume they have been stored or burnt since certain revelations have been discovered.
  21. I lived in Wilton for many years. My Wilton Middle School head teacher used to live in Broad Chalke (might well still do but he must be getting on a bit) and I used to go to Wilton Youth Band practices there.
  22. She used to live in Broad Chalke (not far from where Sir Terry Pratchett used to live). She once stuck her 'V's up at my Father in Law. Broad Chalke isn't really posh BTW, although they like their WW2 festival.
  23. Toontrack offer EZDrummer customers large discounts on Superior Drummer, several times a year. I haven't succumbed yet, not required it.
  24. There have been bashes in the SW area before. I attended one in Milborne Port a while back.
  25. I think the Gibson Jimi Hendrix is far worse to be honest.
