English pub grub is great. English cuisine doesn't exist.

NOT true. Sorry. Lazy stereotype. BAD twin!

Maybe not true always but generally..

A bit expensive but if it can interest someone:

GIBSON THUNDERBIRD BASS 70'S 3 HOLE PICKUP SHELLS AND TRIM RINGS NOS MADE IN USA | eBay

I have 3 of those cover/ring combos. Thought they would be good to use for custom pickup builds or something.

Hey now!!!!

Maybe not true always but generally..

Perhaps in the 70s but not true at all now ... Americans who live in glass houses should maybe refrain from chucking rocks.

British food is not 'fancy', but you can't beat a good Cullen Skink, Lancashire Hotpot or pork pie. Favourite European cuisines in no particular order -- Scandinavian, Hungarian, British and French.

Does anyone actually own a oversized Les Paul, if so is there any chance of some help please?

I need a couple of photos of each side of the neck to show how the body contours change in the last 3 inches before the body and neck meet.
Also two measurements: The maximum thickness of the body (63mm?) and the thickness of the body at the binding behind the bridge (49mm)

I'd be very grateful if someone could help me and I promise not to be rude to you for at least a week

Yes I have one.

As best as I can measure, the max thickness (between the pickups) would be around 63mm, as you say. The measurement for thickness at the binding behind the bridge would be 49 or 50 mm.

I take you to mean you want photos from above to show how the cut out of the body on the treble side above the 16th fret works? Or are you looking for the angle that the neck is set?

Do you also want the photos of the neck taken from the side to show how the heal tapers before joining the body?

Totally agree. It has gotten MUCH better, but it had to after international criticism. Dissertations have been written about this and how WW2 rationing affected the availabilty of different foods in Britain.
I lived in England twice, two years in London and one in the Midlands and unless you were supposed to pay obscene amounts of dough the food was mediocre at best.
The old joke "When an Englishman wants to eat properly he has to take a ferry to France. When a Frenchman wants to do the same, all he does is roll up his sleeves and sit at his table" didn't come about for no reason...

My wife is English.

Pub grub is fantastic. Fish and chips, shepherd's pie, bangers and mash... I love English beer from a cask in the basemen, warm and flat and with clouds of flavorful something or another in it. But, I absolutely, positively draw the line at bubble and squeak. You can keep the stuff they boil until it's indistinguishable from everything else that got boiled to mush. If it isn't boiled to death, it's greasy and a little bland. There's a reason that curry is now the most popular dish in England. If you want to call that English cuisine, then OK, but really, it's imported.

My wife has overcome her unfortunate culinary past and has discovered non-mush vegetables, spices that aren't just salt and pepper, and she has developed an ability to eat all kinds of spicy food that would kill a lesser person.

We chuck rocks as hard as we can to try to hit other people before they throw rocks and shatter our houses. Good offense is a good defense or something like that. If you are going to say McDonalds is the American contribution to the flavors available to the world and scold us for it, all I can do is agree and slink off, knowing it's the truth. Most of the best food in this country is plagiarized from somewhere else. I can't think of much of anything widespread we have invented to eat that isn't mostly awful.

I don't know where you have been that food was 'boiled to mush'. My grandmother used to boil food to mush, but she has been dead for ~25 years so maybe it wasn't her.

PS. There's more to British food than London.

Food from around the globe, was brought to America by the people who came to America from around the globe, and decided to hang out. I suppose the only true "American Cuisine" would be that of Native Americans, which apparently lacks mass appeal (I'm not even certain I've ever tried it, myself... and I live here). I must admit... it would be cool to hear of a restaurant in other countries around the globe, that specialized in "American food". I don't think that really exists currently (though I could be wrong about that. I don't get out much). Sadly... I believe McDonalds is the only representation of American "cuisine" in global consciousness.

I noticed a curious tb thing... under "notable members", the provided listing hierarchy is based on postings and not "likes"... so those who post the most are considered "notable" (for posting the most I guess) while members like our queen who has more likes than the majority of "notables" on the list - isn't on the list. Not that it means a whole heck of a lot, but it seems like if someone posts regularly and in turn the response to those posts are liked... you know, not ignored, it would seem to imply that these members were "notable". I figure as the "like" option is fairly recent, maybe to be notable pre-like was based solely on posting. As "notable" is a dubious title, "most liked" seems warranted in the world of tb classifications.

This may be heretical to you, but I just sold my 64 Champ for $750 and bought a SuperChamp XD for $250. $500 toward the VP purchase and I have a much more useful guitar amp!

So much truth here.

HEAVEN is where:
The police are British
The chefs Italian
The mechanics are German
The lovers are French
and it's all organised by the Swiss

HELL is where:
The police are German
The chefs are British
The mechanics are French
The lovers are Swiss
and it's all organised by the Italians!!

The rash ended up everywhere, even her breathing was severely restricted. It started off under her arm and on her bum but 8 hours later was covering her entire body, except her face, hands and feet.

Yes the cast was too tight, she had been either sat down or lying down and the arm elevated but we had just been to the GP and her arm had lowered, I think it just started to swell enough to restrict the blood flow out and it suddenly hit that point of no return and ballooned over a couple of minutes. She takes a drug called Rivaoxyban (spelling?) an anti clotting thing, during the swelling she must have had a burst vessel or two and her arm in now a wonderful shade of black and yellow bruising. Honestly you couldn't make this up, poor girl

That is too bad - Really sorry to hear she had to go through all that...

We have Denmark’s biggest orthopedic department at my hospital, and I see those procedures in recovery all the time. It really should have been smooth sailing after the first operation.

Hope she will get better soon.
