Bluddy ghost town - just full of tumbleweed T'was my friend Marc who dubbed his native land thus. For my part, I've only really driven through, except the one time we went as a family (prospecting a move, for professional reasons...), and went for a 'meal' at a Quick outlet. That place was beyond tumbleweed; it was shockingly filthy. We left, and ate only once back in France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Looks like there are 5 members pretty close to me, one of whom appears to be literally around the corner from where I lived a few years ago. So now I know where they are, I can pop round and rob them. Which may, in the broader scheme of things, prove to be something of a flaw in the concept. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I've just done it 170 times - once for each address on my road. BC robbers will have to break into many a house before finally finding my dwellings with the inconspicuous orange Aygo outside. Oh, and I've had to sell all my gear, so am already laughing when thinking of their faces. Sfun being poor! 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were called Stupidity, and although we didn't market ourselves as a tribute act, we only played Dr Feelgood material. I've attached a pic of us in rehearsal (not in the marquee), where you can see Mal on the drums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinnyman Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 What a great idea. I wonder if this might help when we’re trying the cross-country bass relay to ship gear from one end of the country to the other? Anyway, I am added. Subject to approval, of course. Which, if I’m honest with myself, I’d understand if it was withheld. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You played a gig in Stamford, which is nearish to Nottingham so I was intent on going until my band got offered a gig on the same night.
