    In the world of vintage household collectables and retro toys that's the mark I want to see - kind of like "Made it Great Britain" but a much more specific date. I've bought & sold a lot of interesting retro items but never a set of still-boxed strings. Will they even unroll?

    I realise now that my sentence wasn't completely clear: I'm not invited to go to Frankfurt! I'd pass along the invite but she hates blues. However, many thanks. Where I live the notion of a music night tops out at karaoke. Anything more would be a 60 mile round trip with no option for public...

    Doesn't all that unwillingness to play nicely with other people support the notion that it's Angry Birds, not Hello Kitty? :whistle: Also, I've never heard of a mediocre bassist fronting the band. Looks more like 1110 than 1109 to me. My wife has a work trip to Frankfurt in a few weeks time...

    Lessons: I'm currently going through the online course with Josh Fossgreen (BassBuzz) and enjoyed the super basic beginnings to give me a reality check, and am finding the final 1/3rd of the course a little more challenging - which is good. He's a bit nerdy/geeky, totally laid back, a relatable...

    I can’t tell if your bum looks big with that gig bag because it isn’t in the photo. An oversight, I’m sure. (Just to be clear: I’m not asking for a picture of your bum)

    Oh, I was implying you might have accidentally told them they'd broken it. It was a mediocre joke.

    How many times have you been compensated for breakage claims?

    That’s 20 pages caught up on. That’s a couple of days more lessons but only a little bit closer to mediocre. Hats: where does the group stand with regards a Fez? Love seeing the MLC vehicles (2 and 4 wheels) but it’s making me miss my bike - may it R.I.P. The positive of losing her is that I...

    and yet, for all the ease of recording, instant ads & replies for band members, and possibility of quality budget recording, the biggest names in the charts are often from tv talent shows won by folk with little or no track record of effort. Aren't they truly the mediocre ones? You guys have...
