    It could have been "Brown Monday" then.

    I have never managed to listen to all of it, can't stand it.I just listening again, and managed 30s. The day has gone quite well and I saw no reason to spoil it. Please, someone explain - why on earth do so many intelligent musicians rate it so highly?

    Some serious injuries on this thread, quite made me wince. So far I am injury-free - bruised ego and shattered confidence don't count.

    I have heard London Calling played with swing.🤢

    I should more honestly have posted "makes me want to drive to head office with a blunt instrument and make the prat in charge of musak suffer". But I dread to think what you would have posted in reply to that... 🤣

    Any kid should be happy with that SG, it looked great. And a good profit for a thorough cleanup 🙂

    Clearly you don't work at B&Q. They have gone back to what they did a few years ago and only play insipid covers of great music. Makes me want to scream.

    Which immediately made me think of The South Bank Show. I have the LP of Variations, but haven't played it in ages. Did find this on YT though. I forgot that the title sequence changed over the years.

    Oh FFS! Typo on my part. Which I won't correct as it lets me make the comment above. 😁

    That, and he has to play three more notes: A,B,C,CH,D,DD,E,FF,G. *Welsh joke, feel free to google or just move along.

    This series of podcasts is just great! Ian Anderson is always entertaining, Adam Clayton really interesting, Nick Mason a gentleman of the first order. Ramble all over the place, but hey, it's in the title 😁

    That's a different film. Backdraught, I think.

    I've been to @Owen's church. What you need to appreciate is that half the congregation sing the songs in English, and the other half in Welsh, at the same time. Now while this makes for an awesome sound in the sanctuary, it must be a nightmare for the musicians who also have to play in two languages at the same time.

    And that, my friend, is called GASlighting.

    I absolutely love the repurposing of the mains plug pins! That and @Dom in Dorset's idea of using earing studs as fretboard markers are just genius ideas.

    Having read the article, the first advertisement was this: Which pretty much sums it all up!
  19. Richard R
    Very nice indeed!

    Nurse, nurse! Another developing case of GAS! Bring over that large mallet and the bagpipes and hopefully we can cure it early.

    Was this intended for the "Bad Jokes" thread??

    How did "Crown him with many crowns' go, @LeftyP?

    If you are anywhere near a music shop then go and play a few things. @Bridgehouse is a gentleman, a scholar and I'm sure can be very persuasive, but the actual sound of the instrument in your hand counts for more than anything else. Even if you're not looking to buy then you get an idea of what you do and don't want. Not sure where in Oxfordshire you are or what shops are near you.

    Hello...

    Richard R replied to happysad's topic in Introductions

    Hi Happysad!

    Thanks. I like the look of the rotary switch rather than little toggle switches. But of course it's more expensive and looks very 1970s 😄
