    We always celebrate with a real Haggis and all the trimmings supper, with the poem spoken, (in best Scottish accent), by your's truly of course: Address to a Haggis Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An cut you up wi ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 'Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that wad staw a sow, Or fricassee wad mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro bloody flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis.

    On the other hand - Dinner Sets I ordered a 4 place dinner set at sale price from M&S, it arrived in a massive Christmas designer box, but when opened the actual dinner set box inside was surrounded by air bags, lots of them, but nothing above or below. Most of the pieces were smashed so I 'phoned to complain and explained the lack of protection. Box number 2 arrived, externally smaller than the first with even less packing, again none top or bottom, once more - many items smashed. Third verse same as the first! So on my third call of complaint I was really upset to hear they had no more of that design so I had to accept a full refund 🙂 Out of the remaining unbroken pieces we ended up with a 6 place set, minus 1 bowl, for nothing, apart from my wasted time and aggravation. Ridiculous cost to M&S, for the sake of a bit of sensible packing in the first place.

    Hopeless! My lad ordered a 100 watt soldering iron, when it came the whole thing glowed red hot - I told him to get it replaced. Few days later a huge box, I'd say 60 x 60 x 80cm at least arrived, he said the only thing he was waiting for was the soldering iron - sure enough !!!!!! The suplier's excuse was 'because it came direct from the factory, they only had packing for bulk deliveries'.

    @DevonDel No only the black from the pick up coil to the bridge white. The wire from the copper plate must go to earth, on the pot body where it already is with the other earths. John

    Leave the neck white + where it is and the bridge black where it is. Take the neck black off and the bridge white off, join them together and tape up. Job done.

    Start with 1, 4 string fretted most useful and stick with it until you are so good you need a better bass! 😎 By then you might know what you NEED/ It's all you need 😄

    Jeff got in touch re problems getting the tones out of his Flea bass. I did a rework of his pots and pieces - leaving him a happy chappy! A real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

    I suppose the string changing is OK - but that's not really 'playing' bass is it!? 😃😄😎
