Topic: NGD - GAS free again

I've had a rotten few weeks, Mrs Buzzwagon, (Marion), was knocked off her motorbike 3 weeks ago by a myopic idiot cage driver, suffering a broken collarbone and fractured pelvis and we've had to cancel our bike trip to France with mates over the August Bank Holiday, so needless to say I haven't been feeling too chuffed with the World, so today I decided that what was needed was a little retail therapy.

I've been after a Jumbo for a while and had been looking around hoping, (in vain), to pick up a bargain from eBay or wherever but nothing was coming up, so today while I was out I decided to call into Andertons, a top notch retailer near me, where I picked up a beautiful Takamine EG523SC. Very pretty guitar with a great tone although very unforgiving, which I view as a good thing because it ensures that I'm accurate.

So this evening me and Marion have spent a couple of hours down by the lake in our garden with a few beers and the new guitar having a singalong in the evening sunshine. Perfect.

I'll post a few piccies, (of the guitar, not Marion), when I get some more time!

Re: NGD - GAS free again

Sorry to hear about Marion.  Hope she fares well.  But a new guitar, by the lake, with the wife and some beer.  Hey, life takes a good turn.

I hope that Marion is soon fit and well and keeping you in order again.

Re: NGD - GAS free again

From context, I read the word "chuffed" as maybe meaning "thrilled'?
So sorry to hear of Ms. Marion's injuries. May her recovery be soon and complete.
I am "chuffed" to read you guys have a garden by a lake to sing in as well as a Takamine "big boy" to enjoy.
Looking forward to your "piccies", sir.

Re: NGD - GAS free again

Congrats on the new guitar. Sorry to hear about your wife, alot of people that don't ride pay little or no attention to bikers. I've had a couple of close calls myself this year. Hope Marion recovers soon and is able to get her face back in the wind.

Wishing a speedy recovery to Mrs Buzzwagon and clean fretting to you Jerry. Looking forward to seeing the pics. I love my Tak, but my son loves it even more and I haven't played it in months.

Re: NGD - GAS free again

Same as above, I suppose.  The guitar and lake sound wonderful.  The injuries not so much.  Many good wishes to Maid Marion in her recovery.
