You would never have 'shrooms' in a full English or full Scottish (can't speak for a full Welsh), you would have 'mushrooms' or possibly even 'mushies'. You might also have Scottish sausage (aka Lorne) and a couple of 'rounds' of Scottish batch bread or tattie scones.

Shrooms are things you eat when you don't have much to do besides see visions for the next twelve hours or so. Not that I would know about things like that, of course.

Guiness and olive oil? Hmmmm....

“Respectfully, studio musicians who play with their fingers live have no idea that we can’t hear what they’re playing, because there’s no actual definition on the note that’s coming out. You can do that and love it and have no shaggin’ idea what he’s playing, but you love that low end, or you can be like Chris Squire and have a very bright sound, where you can hear the attack and therefore hear the note that’s actually being played. I mean, a piano is a percussive instrument, and you can hear every single note because there’s a definition when the player hits the note.”

Hummm, didn't Entwistle play sans pic?

Light and fluffy? I was buying batch bread until the Mod put his foot down and told me it was fvcking horrible. But I like it... Nothing beats a slice of toasted housebrick.

Can you tell if he's serious by which pair of shoes he's wearing?

I'm sure you read about it someplace.

Yep, that's it.

Yeah,but what did he know?

 

[GBassNorth]

So you think it's a keeper?

LOL - yeah, it's a keeper. The seller should keep it and any potential buyer should skip the offer and keep their money.

He might be looking for an AliExpress owner trying to upgrade.

They have something here called Guiness Blonde American Lager. It's kinda like Coors only weaker

Weaker than Coors? We have something similar over here too but we flush it down the loo every morning

I find it difficult to believe that there is a beer weaker than Coors, aside from Coors Light I mean. Weakest "beer" I have ever tried. Not the worst tasting but not off by much.

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

I believe that. You’ll never convince genpop though

Sure, recording techniques and instruments/amps/technique have evolved hugely since then and many finger players have gotten much easier to record. Totally see their point..

I was kinda over exaggerating for "across the pond" consumption but I was very disappointed. And I used to love Coors-when it was hard to get east of the Mississippi. Had that "mystique" about it. Now you can get it anywhere it's no BFD. However, if I'm in a bar and I order a beer, if they ask what I tell 'em "anything but Bud"- just don't like it.

Being an alter kocker has reared its head and bit me in the keester. I'll catch up in the A.M.

Billy Sheehan plays finger style. He built his rig specifically to have the notes heard. Love him or hate him, one thing is sure and that is that you can hear every note.

Ok, pick vs fingers ‘debate,’ silly as it is. IT DOESNT MATTER! Play however you’re happiest playing. I do mostly use a pick, and yes it often helps with definition and yes there are exceptions like with anything else. It’s music. Do what works. Salad tongs? Knock yourself out! But to try to legitimize one over the other is just really lame. Jamerson vs Kaye. Either one played on more great records than anyone in our club combined. It’s all good

I had Japalenos stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon last Thursday drool

Nice, we found a recipe for those in BBQ book a few years ago, lovely on a nice summer evening after too much wine or beer (not sure a single malt)

Great, now @kat888 is going to tell us about deep fried mars bars.

You've just reminded me to put a Bridie and deep fried haggis on my holiday foodie list

The trouble with fried mars bars is that they're always served by this guy
