    Try Canada. Or mainland Europe. Anywhere but this godforsaken dump.

    There's a very rude word that I try not to use too often, it rhymes with 'front' and this bloke is an A1 prime example. He and his ape brother are in more dire need of a good hard punch in the gob than almost anyone else I can think of (outside of politics, anyway).

    Have just become hopelessly carried away in the Maruszczyk bass configurator... oh well, there goes the morning...

      I like the blue one.  Too many frets though.

    Spent the last 2 days frantically learning the set for last night's dep gig at a holiday camp in Portcawl... drove 1.5 hours to find Suzy (the frontperson and band leader) there tearing her hair out. They've played there several times before, it's a big place with house PA and lights... only they've got rid of the house PA. Well why didn't you tell us, says Suzy. Oh we tried to call and I sent emails, says the ents manager. Bullplop says Suzy, my phone is on 24/7 and all my work calls & emails get through ok. Shrug, goes the ents manager. Drive 1.5 hours home again. Suzy is fecking livid and says she will screw some petrol money out of them, and has paid me out of her own pocket. Says the next dep gigs are mine if I want them, I've gladly accepted. But we won't be going there

    Oh I see, "banter". Well that makes it perfectly ok then. 🙄🙄🙄 Yes I was 'humping' at the birth of these, I've been doing this nonsense since the early 80s. I don't recall anyone being "girls" about shifting their gear, although many was the late night load-out that I wished my 4x10s didn't weigh as much as a car.

    Hah I don't have the greatest or least achey back in the world and lightweight kit has been a revelation for me - my days of 100lb cabs and 60lb amps are gone for good - but if you're happy with the casual sexism of calling me a "girl" you carry on.

    24 songs to learn for a dep gig tomorrow evening... eek.

    (although in truth, I already know a handful of them)

    I'm struggling to think of anything I'd rather not listen to. Even BrokeNCYDE would be preferable.

    I seem to recall that Lemmy was a big fan of Skin in particular. I remember him talking about her in an interview where he said something along the lines of "she's black, gay and really angry, what a brilliant combination for a lyricist"

    I have a 9v battery and one of these as permanent passengers in my gig bag, for those "oh god my 9v supply has gone off" moments.

    I'd like Lee Pomeroy's job. His CV is quite literally awesome. If it had to be one band, it'd be either It Bites or Frost*.

    A couple of tiny changes to the above... the LEDs on the bypass switch are now white for Bypass and flashing blue for Mute, and are a lot brighter than the old red & green were -- they didn't show up all that well on a bright stage.

      Yup, she won't be going by air again, not for a very long time.

      The Eurostar can get you to Rotterdam now, which is close enough, and although they've had issues too, you're only talking about a couple of hours delay, not a whole day and ultimately a cancelation after all that torture.

      I've got to go to Italy again next year, for my stepson's wedding... got to say I am really really tempted to drive, via the ferry. I know it's a hell of a long way, but I think it'd be nice. Spread it over three days or so, take a leisurely route maybe. A whole load better than flying, that's for certain.

      I think airlines are like couriers and car hire companies. I've had to use them a fair bit and if I blacklisted all the ones I've had bad experiences with, there wouldn't be many left!
