Well, it's definitely happening! I have even broached the subject to Mrs Norm, and she hasn't thrown me out of the house! It would be great to get a few more chordians together - obviously I need to decide on a date first - it'slooking more like Feb than Jan, so far. Zurf - you really are too kind. You are a gentleman of the first order...

Re: How a guitarist's hand stretches over time (8 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Interesting! I can reach to the 8th fret with my left hand, and about 7 1/2th fret with my right, so you're doing pretty well!

You could possibly try an adjustable footrest, as used by classical players?

Re: Changing strings (16 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Also a fan of Fastfret - I don't feel the need to change strings very often at all, if I clean them regularly. Have just started using Earthwood strings (11-52) and have been favourably impressed with the sound, and value for money...

Re: .Pet Peeves (78 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I love this thread! Mine are mostly about driving, too. When you learn to drive over here, you are always taught "MSM" - meaning Mirror, Signal, Manouevre. This seems to have become - just Manouevre. Just pull out, or change lane whenever you feel like it, without warning. Also, people driving around in the gloom and rain (of which we have plenty), without any lights. This is bad enough on main roads, but on the tiny country lanes (with blind bends) that I often use - well, I've had some near misses. It's usually an old person wearing a hat, trying to save 0.0005% on their fuel costs, by not putting their lights on. That reminds me of another one - people who are "tight" with money. Not people who are this way because they are short of money - I mean the people who turn up at my house for a family party (ie free food & drink provided) in their shiny new car, and stroll into my house EMPTY HANDED. I feel like kicking them straight out the door again! They are always on Facebook showing off their new car/phone/watch/holiday, but they won't spend a penny on anyone else but themselves...
