Pete stood up and insisted that the dogs sit down in front of him and listen to a Very Serious Lecture about the perils of daring to put doggy slobber on his new toy. Inca: sits nicely, very attentive, tail wagging furiously 'ooh if I sit and listen to Daddy I'm bound to get a biscuit afterwards' Magpie: wtf? this is sooo boring *yawns and wanders off mid-lecture* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Tinman Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Pete has the most disconcerting habit of occasionally leaping out of bed and scaring the living daylights out of me Cue one such incident, followed by lots of fumbling about in the dark Me: What are you doing? Him: I can't find it Me: Can't find what? Him: [i]It[/i] Me: The door's in front of you darling Him: No, not the door Me: Well what then? Him: [i]The thing[/i] Me: What thing? Him: The thing to close the door Me: Why do you want to close the door? Him: Because it's time to get up Me: No it isn't Him: Yes it is. It's time for me to get up. I'll come and wake you up in a bit (he is getting rather annoyed with me by this point) Me: Come back to bed darling Him: Oh, OK. This was at 11.30 [i]last night[/i] and he'd only been asleep for an hour. Daft sod was fast asleep throughout the entire episode. Bless him. :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted November 3, 2007 Author Share Posted November 3, 2007 Ladies and Gentlemen. Unfortunately, due to the lateness of my return home and the fact that it's too bloody dark to take any, there will be no artistic stylee photos today. However, I have a picture of the maestro himself stood next to some be-spectacled fat bloke, holding a work of art. More pics tomorrow.

If you remember my old sig where I was talking about chewing my arms off for 14 weeks - it's a reference to that and the fact that I have no arms left after 23 weeks.

mikeh Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The first thing I said when I saw the first pic was f**k me!!! Thats a stunning looking bass, and one of JS's finest builds I'd say. If it plays and sounds half as good as it looks it'd be hard to beat!! Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
