  1. I quite like these auction shows , I don't go looking for them but they pretty inoffensive in general ... your thinking of antiques road show there Pete , bargain hunt normally goes to posh car boot sales/ 'antique' fairs , then as has been said they rarely pay the asking price. The part that does annoy me is when the participants start engaging with the auction process, very poor form , and for some reason winds me right up
  2. I was depping for the Razors tonight and it was an awful gig , we played alright , but the lads didn’t take control of a random coked up pisshead who was close to the edge , he came on stage twice and each time I stopped playing , but the others carried on . It wasn’t till I got in the way and stopped the song that the landlady got involved and took him away , restarted the song , finished the song and said our goodbyes. Lots of decent punters came up to apologise and insist we go back , I certainly won’t be, but then I’m not actually in the band any more ! The bloke who took over is struggling with issues at home and has dropped them in it somewhat. I have told the lads I will cover 3 weddings and a carnival (and a house party) as they are important , but have declined all the pub gigs , my diary won’t cope with most of them , and I left the band to get some weekends to myself !
  3. I am pretty sure that mine won’t sound something something like any wings track
  4. Here is a picture. Well in all fairness, my mate Dave wanted a selfie and his phone was flat , so I obliged . As it happened a bunch of blokes brought some kit in and a gig broke out, resulting in @funkgod photobombing Daves selfie
  5. I was 82 once I raced karts and 82 was my club race number
  6. Hmmmm i haven’t tried a German accent before , but there is always a ........first
  7. I looked at that picture and had a thought that I have enough trouble around here with the mess the pigeons leave !!! I have an idea........
  8. If you get your thinking heads on, there are a few threads to help with this a good start here
  9. well done Douglas, an excellent piece , top form
  10. I think I've sussed whats missing I had a panic that I had completely missed something vitally important in the picture and went to check all the copies i had used Very good Douglas
  11. I did a dep last night for the Razors. A party very local to me which I said I’d cover when I left . It was a strange, low energy affair and while the band played well enough , after seeing a lot of bands in the last couple of weeks, it certainly appeared to me that there was a lack of the passion that I thought the band had last year. the set up didn’t help as the drummer sets up in an alcove in this venue behind guitar, on the left , and I am on the right with no line of vision to him , it always did seem a bit disconnected when we played there paid up and home by 12.30 , all in all it was good to keep up to speed playing to an audience .
  12. It was a great night , really enjoyed both bands and an excellent venue , full of character and characters it was great we could all come down and remember some of our first band experiences as well , but 1882
  13. This has completely passed me by , and I co-organised the last one , I think the fact we did it in snowy Feb reduces the attraction a bit , I’ll have a chat with @funkgod to see if we can do something later in the year , with a bit of notice for peeps
  14. I wash a wound in a salt solution it cleans it and for some reason it does heal a lot quicker
  15. Wow , marvellous
  16. In a fortunate turn of events , my most enjoyed band of yesterday’s Nantwich jazz, blues and music festival, was in fact refreshed by a few scoops of said Boltmaker !
  17. If you check out booking.com for the best price , then phone the hotel and ask them , as booking.com take a commission, the hotel would rather split the difference and thus they get more for the room, and you get it for less. not always successful, but on the 2 recent occasions I used booking.com , I subsequently booked more rooms directly, far cheaper than I could on-line
  18. I'm in I really enjoyed this one , I didn't think I would get one but suddenly an angle presented itself and I took it enjoy https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/borer-borer
  19. Yep , but my ears are bad , I thought @ped said ‘use the fours, Lurk, use the fours’
  20. Well done Rikki👍
  21. It’s a close all already , but, I reckon to avoid a tie , everyone should throw votes at No1 #notacompetition #whoamikidding #loveandpeace #vote1
  22. Tough call this one , I’m going to need a few more listens through to decide
  23. My ears are so different I can tell which one is left /right without even seeing them. i would consider cutting a notch out of one if they were the same , popping them in and out with my eyesight in a dark gig would be a pantomime
  24. A cheap five string , a dodgy badge , a quality whore , have a great 50th
  25. You are seriously not making your reappearance with that old chestnut 😘
