Rich

Given that it was 2.5 years ago, I'd imagine they might well have got a new one by now...

Daddy ran away with the milkman. I am your NEW daddy. Give me a hug. Or else.

Now then. Play together nicely or it will be early to bed without supper, and a short sharp visit from the spank fairy.

BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz: "Ah divvent ner where yu nicked this from pal, but ah rert it originally, laike. Did yu steal wor quote?"

How about videos of bass players who just happen to be really good?

50. Revd. Kate out of Gogglebox 49. The Vicar of Dibley 48. errm... 47.

"So could we ask that members refrain from posting topics on anything to do with politics, sexism or religion?" Right. The other day I was out delivering UKIP leaflets when I saw a woman vicar on a bike, and she had a fabulous set of knockers. Will that do?

Not while my arrse still points downwards, it won't I have silly stumpy little fingers, just can't deal with chunky necks.

The German lyrics are rrrrreally weird if you translate them. If you have some time for me Then I will sing a song for you About ninety-nine balloons On their way to the horizon Do you think of me now? Then I will sing a song for you About ninety-nine balloons And that such a thing comes from such a thing Ninety-nine balloons On their way to the horizon Were taken for UFOs from space Hence, a general sent A squadron after them To give the alarm But there on the horizon Were just ninety-nine balloons Ninety-nine jet fighters Each was a great warrior Regarded themselves as Captain Kirk There was a great display of fireworks The neighbors didn't understand And soon felt offended Then they shot at the horizon At ninety-nine balloons Ninety-nine ministers of war Matches and petrol canisters Regarded themselves as clever people Already on the scent of fat quarry They shouted, "War," and wanted power Man, who would have thought That someday it would come this far Because of ninety-nine balloons 99 years of war Left no place for winners War ministers don't exist anymore And not one jet Today I stroll around See the world in ruins I've found a balloon I think about you and let it fly

I bought something 'idiot-proof' once. Unfortunately I just became a better idiot.

Yes, we call it the idiot check too it's come up trumps a few times in the last few years..!

Just think how much more successful this would have been if it was in English.

^^^ Thank god it's not just me. I actually nodded off in the cinema the other day, a first for me. Yet another step in the process of turning into my dad.

Yes, the question was is it good. Your main argument seems to be about commercial success, which is something else entirely.

Negative GAS? So that means you really really want to get rid of it..?

Good old AJ. He's buried about half a mile from where I'm sitting right now.

Back in the 80s, I was lucky enough to have my own roadie. One night he was kind enough to leave my Wal behind at a venue... Thankfully they kept it under lock and key for me, and Sim bought me about a million pints as part of his efforts to apologise sufficiently Suffice it to say, from then on my rig etc went in the van but my bass was always with me in the car.

Had a quick look online and can't find any mention of a Trace 1044 cab. Or in fact any 4 ohm 4x10 Trace cabs. It appears that pretty much all Trace's classic bass cabs have been 8 ohms apart from the 2x15 and 8x10 monsters.

Mmmm. Yes please.

Ok, I'll rephrase it. Not Everybody 'Gets' The Same Stuff. Not Everybody 'Understands' The Same Stuff. See? There's nothing wrong with you and you're not on a different planet. It's just that some people like something that you don't. If you don't like it, just stop listening to it and move on.

A lot of people liked, and still like now, the 20 minute solo prog rock 'crap'. Yes you're right, it is pretty much down to personal taste. The same personal taste that leads me to opine that punk was crap. We all like different stuff, and thank god for that.

Not Everybody Likes The Same Stuff. Blimey, stop the presses.

This gives me goosebumps every time.
