  1. More to the point, which BJH? The original lineup, the post-Woolly one, or one of the two acrimonious-split versions?
  2. Happy Rush Day (21/12)!

      And at precisely 21:12 it will be the Rush Equinox!

      Bit of a wait for Happy Rush Year though.

  3. Breaking into uncontrollable laughter at the merest sight of the phrases "best for metal?", "waste of TIM" and "Mark King or Flea?", none of which make any sense to anyone outside these premises.
  4. It's no worse than the Sadowsky headstock, and a bazillion times better than the Alleva-Coppolo one. IMO anyway.
  5. My only substantial musical purchase this year has been my Spector Q4, and its subsequent upgrade bits (bridge, Gotoh tuners, full-fat EMGs yet to be fitted). To say I am chuffed with it is a maHOOsive understatement. It's now my go-to 4 string, in fact other than my Shuker (go-to 5 string) everything else is gathering dust... figuratively anyway.
  6. I've been using the same set of Sennheiser HD280pro cans for nigh on 30 years. They're on their second headband and third set of padded ear bits, but they still sound the absolute business. I would recommend them highly.
  7. Another great ska night at my local social club. Everyone else's turn to do the long drive normally I'm the one with the 2 hour round trip. Utterly lovely sound from the SpectorGenzBarefaced trio of doom, as ever. My send/return stomp has developed a fault, so there's a little job for some point before NYE.
  8. What's the difference between The Polar Express and HS2?
    One's an improbable fantasy about a train, and the other is a film with Tom Hanks.

  9. I'm trying not to, but Mrs Rich keeps showing me these houses she's finding at the other end of the bloody country...
  10. I'm lucky enough to be in two completely brilliant bands. My great fear is that if I lose them for any reason (e.g. moving out of the area), I'll never find anything again. My age is against me, for starters.

    In Memoriam

    @mckendrick. Long time lurker but a supporting member. I understand he'd been very unwell.
  12. Alien abduction. Just sayin'.
  13. These Boots Were Made For Walking - Nancy Sinatra
  14. This morning's earworm, straight outta nowhere. Haven't listened to it for years. As earworms go, this is proper lush.
  15. Lydney Town Hall last night with the Soul Destroyers... tickets sold out a week ago and they were a great crowd, especially after they'd availed themselves of the bar... it was our first time with this promoter and I think they liked us... In the interval between sets, they asked if we could play next year's NYE. I played in an am-dram pantomime pit band some years back in Chippenham, it was a great time. Did three years with them, it's an experience I'd instantly recommend to anyone. "Oh no you wouldn't!" Oh yes I would. Etc.
  16. Overheard an exchange earlier between a man and his very young daughter, in a supermarket car park:
    Man: we're just going to wait here for a while.
    Daughter: why?
    Man: because mummy's in the shop.
    Daughter: why?
    Man: she's buying some chocolate. 
    Daughter: why?
    Man: because she needs some. 
    Daughter: why?
    Man: *laughs*
    It was a laugh that said "when you have your own bloody children, you'll know".

  17. Oh yes, a trolley. I use it for everything, have done for years and am now on my 4th. 20ish years ago when I turned up at my first rehearsal with my current band, oh how they laughed at my trolley... Now, all the gear-luggers have got one...
