Enjoyed a cuppa with Colin while collecting a monitor yesterday. Always good to meet BC'ers Communication couldn't have been better and really easy all the way through, thanks Colin. Nice Precision by the way

All of 10cc have my respect, fantastic memorable music Rubber Bullets was the very first song I played on stage with a bass guitar, a few months after the song came out

Maybe just store things in bags to prevent dusk going in through vents

I always thought 'Ken Dodd's Dad's dog's dead' was a bit in poor taste myself..

Collected an 8 string bass from Ray yesterday and spent some time catching up after last year (when I collected some cases from him, both at a very nice price). Ray was even kind enough to throw in an unused gig bag with the 8 string, which is a great instrument in it's own right. Genuine BC'er here folks, buy with confidence from Ray. All I have to do now is find a reason not to buy the 6 string he's selling at far too low a price for the quality of the instrument.....

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1429862746' post='2755596'] Used to play The Bed's too big without You which has to be one of my favourite basslines of all time. Unfortunately it got dropped because the 'play something we know' crowds didn't get it. [/quote] I used to sing that one while playing the bass line on stage. Great fun

Pretty much all the LP's are great fun to jam along with from start to finish

Oldest song that keeps coming back ? Happy Birthday !

I've done some reflection on this since last posting. Since your GP has already done the referral, you could contact the GP's and ask which hospital the referral was made to. Once this is known, you can contact the orthopaedic department for further info (including the expected waiting list time). Google the names of the surgeons in the department and see what comes up. Also, you could join local special interest groups, they will be a gold mine of information. You're welcome to PM me if you like

There is an orthopaedic surgeon in my borough that specialises in the management of Dupuytrens. Once he has done the initial assessment, he will present the options appropriate for that time. He really does know what's good for a given circumstance. Of course, the patient still has to consent to anything that happens. Recommend you find the name of your area specialist and research what he's like. If he's good, recommend him to your GP. Best wishes with it

[i]As for the musty guitar case....... Pssssss[/i]

Marvin; I also I have tinnitus, which is an audio hallucination, for want of a better expression. It's a sound that you can hear but doesn't actually exist. This ^ SSSSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

After five hours of abdominal surgery, your lower trunk will take more than a bit of time to recover. How long can you sit up straight without leaning back against something ? or slumping ? it really is best to seek the advice of your surgeon, or his registrar, as someone has said earlier. Gig in haste, repent at leasure. Best wishes for a good and speedy recovery
