[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1354549340' post='1887228'] Quite. We should be denying this programme the oxygen of publicity by not discussing it on a public forum. D'OH!! [/quote] You are here then

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1354462469' post='1886185'] As above, and the last two pages since Doddys post have been a waste of bandwidth you could have used to argue about custom bone nuts on your "fiver". X factor is IMO an extended advert designed to sell product to people who care more about having and expressing an opinion that may count towards the "winning" selection than it`s actual value as music. The involvement is what sells, the by product is a CD and a video and maybe a tour and most importantly, newspapers. The back story is what sells it to the "voters"irregardless of the lack of actual musical talent. The back story is what you hear burbled out on breakfast tv by yet more celebrities. When the act or it`s ability isn`t enough, you are invited to care about the judges and their lifestyles,partners,drunken binges etc. The fact that some of you here expressed quite passionate opinions about rather bland singers after minimal exposure proves it works very well. You are involved, have an opinion, care... Imagine how it feels after watching it for years.... Me, I prefer listening to a bit of music. [/quote] Must be great to be the only correct opinion Obviously I am weak, easily led and feeble of mind to actually think Leona Lewis or Rebecca Ferguson can, erm, sing. 'Scuse me, off to dribble my tea. Karl.

Not really sure, but the TRC doesn't look right, not sure if the binding has the gap behind the bridge, couple of other tiny things. He's not sure if it's 4001/4003. Double truss rod, well, there have been fakers with double truss rods, I have had a couple. It's just nagging at me, so hopefully an expert will put me out of my curiosity

Something about this one that raises a little nagging? Sure it is genuine but would like an experts thoughts? Cheers, Karl. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300826204035?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

[quote name='mingsta' timestamp='1354410458' post='1885756'] Great price, but at 69lbs you'd have to built like arnie (Conan/terminator era) to gig with that. [/quote] Yup, my 410 is "only" 63lbs.

We usually record it, so 1.5 hours becomes about 25 minutes of performance. The best two this year (Marion and Ella) are long gone sadly. It is very rare anything on it is my cup of tea, but having watched the formative performances of Leona Lewis and Rebecca Ferguson, it really does occasionally have something to offer. The world may never have got the joy it gets from those two wonderful songstresses. Just my opinion.

Cheers Hamster, just assumed it was me being a plonker as usual

I went to change my profile picture, it took out the old one but now won't upload a new one. As MB1 put it, I'm a shadow of my former self. Any ideas chaps? Cheers, Karl.

Is it Ravi from the Halfords ad?

I would be tempted if my back hadn't screamed at me "69lbs you fat owld git"

Nice chaypup, good luck with it.
