    Micky. LOL

    Thanks for the kind words. I thought about changing the rules to allow you and your cup cakes to attend......................but rules is rules.

    Just to clarify about the KG thing. His name and music is banned in this house.

    Even a mention of the name makes me tremble and vomit, my daughter starts to cry, and my wife doesnt speak to me for a week. I am asking all attendees to be very aware of the situation and be careful.

    Im thinking of drawing up a 'KG contract of attendance'. It is very strictly adhered to and results in chucking out, with no excuses listened to.

    Sshhhhhhhh. I have an image to maintain.

    Actually, for those of a KG inclination, I could have a room dedicated to the 'music' of this top, top sax player

    Some folks might call it the garage. I prefer dedicated KG room. It may be cold, but that is what folks deserve who like the G'ster.

    Al, you would be very welcome.

    Are these the Red amps. If so, Ian, the poster above you, brought some to the last Bakeoff and they sounded great. So, yes please to those.
