Most tomato's unless bought from a farmers market are tasteless - a real (organic) fresh-picked tomato is yummy. (especially the little ones - like candy!)

We had until earlier this year a greenhouse and we had about 6 plants growing each year, Wendy loves them. Pineapple is one I hate too but when we used to go to Sri Lanka a lot I loved them, they were completely different

I too have the boxed set. It is brilliant; it isn't just Cleese, but Polly and Manuel who are so well done. I love the episode with the builders and Fawlty has Manuel call the builder a "hideous orangutan".

Have you watched the series called "Allo Allo"? Set in France in WW2, That is so funny the way they take national traits of all involved nations and make them look OTT. Worth a look if you haven't

It's somewhat diminishing as in this clique depiction as time goes on but I'm sure there's still examples of this sort of rude behavior by entitled Americans vacationing in Europe. Love the Faulty Towers - "whatever you do, don't mention the war" sketch. :laugh:

My thought is that a 50W tube amp sounds warm and fat. And because of the natural compression and overdrive of tubes, would seem quite loud. And compared to 500 class D watts, could seem just as loud.



I chatted with the guitar department manager about it the other day. I need to make some time to go in and try everything out. Perhaps when I pick up the EB-3 (getting the free set up done on it along with a Hipshot bride and having a set of BEAD DDTs put on). I could pick it up first thing one morning and use it to try out the amps. And I could find out who is hung over. ;)

Edit:
They are annoyingly too good in L&M. They always offer to let me take things (amps, cabs, basses) home to try out for a week or two. They know that once it is home, it is staying!

Don’t they have a dedicated bass guy or two?
L&M is great for returns. I bought a Goldtone uke bass from the a few years ago. A week or so later I realized it sounded like cow pies when you dig in to those rubber strings, I decided to return it and they didn’t even ask why.

It isn't available to play here except in individual episodes, which would be Really expensive.

I saw WA in 1973, Hardrock Quarry outside of Akron NY, still got my ticket! My stub is the blue one on the right, I found d the left side on Ebay a few years ago. Amazing!View attachment 3103317

Great Googally Moogally! I grew up a stones throw from Hardrock Quarry. Used to go fishing there with my father before
they turned it into a venue. It was a limestone quarry way back. The stone kiln is still there. I was too young to go to the concerts, but I remember listening to the Guess Who in my backyard. It was a big event and the neighborhood was all a twitter. There’s an auto auction on the site now. Fun fact: the beach sand was trucked in from Florida, and one load contained coral snake eggs. They had to shut down until they took care of the situation. I swear I saw one later that summer.
Super cool post Scott, a real blast from my past.
