hi bluejeep, this erum will be added to the moderators watch list, this is when we find that a new (usually) member acts suspiciously, copying posts etc, then returning sometime later to add spam or some other effluent, thanks for the report.

i'm a fender man, but i've always lusted over one of those. and she looks beautiful. congrats

i have down-loaded Lame, but what is a drop box account?

also played with the beach boys, bass i think

ooh, i was beginning to think i was the only one to appreciate the talent in that band.

russ, i have discovered over the years that showing off just leads to me making a right mammary gland of myself, so i try to avoid it.

funnily enough, i played an afternoon show on Tuesday and got told i was a fab country singer, amazing as i don't even like listening to C/W. aint life funny?

i usually have a great idea for a song when i'm in the shower, so i go over it, modifying the words, chords and beat, then i get out of the shower, dry and dress then by the time i get to my note book, i've forgotten the damn thing. why do i always get these ideas at stupid times?

well maybe, jim's a little jealous of the guitar, conversely...you might just love the guitar a little more than you love jim? of-course you might just be worried about wood worm?  LOL

this feels like a rocker? do you do it with a rock'n'roll beat?

thanks guys, i've just about finished the recording so it'll be up soon, let you know when.

hey congrats robert, only managed 32 myself, 33 next may, dunno what anniversary that is, anyone know?

you chaps across the pond must have got it easy? we have this dreaded nightmare called the "MOT" which is a test that can either allow you to drive your car or send it to the scrap heap. once a car attains the grand old age of 3 years, it has to endure this test and any little thing can cost hundreds of £'s. emissions are a big part of it and you wont get away with smoke belching out the tail pipe! tyres must have at least 2.5 mm of tread, damage to the body work can also get you the red card. i try to avoid the stress of the MOT by buying new then changing again when they reach 3 years though i kept this last one for 4 years, but there were too many electronics on it, and they are too costly to change. nothing gets repaired any more it's all "whip out the old one and stick in the new one... £200 please." what really put the frighteners on me was when i was told if the electric hand break conks out (and it might) the cost would be £1500!!!! i'd have to do a lot of gigs to make that back, without a car....

wow, i didnt expect to get such a reaction over my weepy goodbye to my renault scenic. it was only 4 years old and done just 22000 miles, but it had all the toys, lights and wipers that come on by themselves, elec windows and parking brake, all round, keyless entry and start, folding wing mirrors, the only thing i had to do was fill it up, and it did 60 miles to the gallon, (diesel). the new car has a manual hand break and i have to close the mirrors myself. it's a Dacia, which is made by Renault, so i trust it. the acceleration is brilliant for a 1500 cc engine and i got 100 mph out of it last night. oh and it looks like a 4x4, but it's just a 2x4. i'll have to give it a wash after the 2 gigs i did the weekend (got to pay for it now) then i'll take some photo's and post them. let you know when their up. glad we dont get the bad snow here.
