Dog walks into a post office, says he wants to send a telegram.
"OK" says the clerk, "what's the message?"
The dog says, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof, woof woof."
Clerk says, "OK, but for the same price, you can add one more 'woof'".
The dog frowns and replies, "But then it wouldn't make any sense."-

Reminds me of this one.
Remote Scottish village, general store cum post office, bell tinkles as the door opens.
'Mrs McDonald' says the postmaster 'We dinnae see you too often'.
'Aye, well, Mr McDonald died. I'd like to put a wee notice in the paper, what's the cheapest?'
'£5, what d'ye want to say?'
'Mr McDonald died'
'Feh £5 ye get 3 more words'
'Mr McDonald died. Volvo for sale'

Nice start to the day today. Came downstairs to find a very tired looking white-tailed bumblebee stumbling about on the hall floor. I recalled reading something about bees responding well to a bit of energy and hydration, so i mixed a tiny bit of sugar in a splash of water on the end of a teaspoon, and held it down in front of the bee. It found it and immediately started to drink, I could see its tongue lapping it up. After slurping for a couple of minutes it stopped and visibly began to revive, so I took it outside. It headed straight for some flowers and started doing what bees do, looking a lot healthier. My feelgood moment for the day.

Well done you. Restores my faith in humanity reading things like that. Unlike the little shyte I saw in the park. He was astride his bike with another kid watching and was bouncing his front wheel up and down on the path. As I rounded the corner, his mate remonstrated with him to which he shouted ‘I don’t care, I hate them’ and on seeing me they both scarpered. When I stopped where they had been there were pieces of earthworms squidged all over the path. His parents would be sooo proud if they knew 🤬. Not little kids either. Probably 10yrs if not more. Makes my blood boil. Well, boil more than it is already today 🥵.

Just started a week's holiday in Buxton. Staying in a gorgeous apartment in the town centre. It has a beautiful kitchen, wifi, and a pool table.
I don't care if it rains all week. *contented sigh*

When you’re stuck in an airport on the other side of Europe, completely stranded because your connecting airport is shut, the last thing you want to hear from the airline agent is “good luck”…

TOP TIP:
If you're going to jump off the front of the stage to dance with the audience during your last song, make sure you don't misjudge the height of the stage and end up flat on your àrse. It's not a good look and is quite embarrassing. Errm, so I'm told.

Great gig on Saturday night, only tempered by the fact that by the time I got home my favourite kebab emporium was closed. Gutted, I really fancied one of their large chicken/doner combos. Went to bed with a rumbly tumbly and thoughts of what might have been. Cue the nano-violins.

Further to the 'community?' thread, do any of the Bristol BC massive fancy getting together for a pint and a yak? Maybe even a ruby?

Just been told by HMRC that I paid too little tax in the last tax year. Great. As if money wasn't tight enough already, now I've got to find an extra 30p a month to give them.

Wee bit of fret buzz on the Spector earlier. A tiny nth of a turn on the truss road and it's buzzless & singing like a canary again. God I love this bass.

Like an absolute idiot, I sold my Novation K Station a while back because I wasn't using it. Now, of course, I could really really do with it. Twerp. *slaps self*
And predictably, they're now selling for twice what I let mine go for.
*slaps self again*

Ok, which lucky bugger got the Tanglewood Bassmaster Funk on ebay for 97 quid?

Had an intermittent fault with one of my homemade cables at the weekend. Did some investigation, and on inspecting one of the plugs I found that ONE STRAND of the screen had escaped the solder and was just touching the core terminal. It may only have been the one strand, but it was enough to cause a short.
Note to self: in future, tin the bloody wires properly. *slaps self* -
Just resurrected my old mic stand (and when I say 'old', it still bears the name of a band I was in that split in 1988). Very rusty and creaky, but after disassembly an overnight soak in white vinegar and a clean-up with wire wool soon got rid of the rust on the adjusting bits, and with a bit of silicon WD spray here and there it's as good as... well, not good as new, but it's got a new lease of life.
