A man with my physique? When I look down I can't even see my feet, never mind anything else! That avatar is just wishful thinking on Marco's part. Anyway, I bet that dude in the picture has had his bits shrivelled to nothing by steroids. You don't get owt for nowt.Quote:

Oh my God, this one's uncanny! Apart from the rollers, don't have enough hair for that.
Themz not rollers... Themz electrodes! Remember that picture they took of you in the asylum?
Marco.
P.S Did you get the Ritter Sport Coconut bars in Lidli? I was in today and got some.
Asylum? They told me it was a dental check up. I thought it was strange putting those things on my head. I remember them having me bite down on a piece of wood, and it's all a bit hazy after that :(Quote:

Tomorrow I'll weigh myself again and if it looks good I will treat myself to some chocolatey coconutty goodness. I'll have to scoff it in secret though as Anita is doing the Slimming World thing and I want to be supportive.
Most users ever (816) was at 1.38am today. What was that all about? Did I miss anything?
Grant posted pics of his humungous 'caber', which had the size-queens, throughout the States, agog... However, he had to take them down later, as the ocean levels were rising too much with the subsequently increased levels of wetness in many areas.
Marco.
gone over the 1 million posts too :D
Indeed, 'tis a popular place:)
I think folks enjoy the entertainment we provide;)
Marco,
I'm guessing a lot of viewing came from overseas members and guests, who like me assumed that "tossing the caber" involved chucking logs. Grant's posts must have been a real eye-opener :)
I feel the same way, I feel it should only be given to individuals who they can verify has an actual chemical imbalance in their brain. But family doctors prescribe this stuff as if it were Valium, to anyone who’s had a bad day. I’m no brain surgeon, but it would seem prescribing this stuff to people without a chemical imbalance would give them a chemical imbalance?Quote:

I saw an article that claimed that 98% of all mass murderers of the past 30 years were on some kind of antidepressant! I went back later to find the article to share with someone, and it was gone! When it comes to the powers that be, and the news we are fed, the only thing I’m sure of is that nothing is as it seems. I don’t want to come across like a conspiracy nut, but at this point nothing surprises me.

I used to work with a youth who was on anti-depressants. He showed me the leaflet that came with his pills. There was a list of potential side-effects as long as your arm. In addition to constipation, insomnia, loss of appetite, loss of energy, headaches, sensitivity to light and so on, was listed 'depression'.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who was made happy by these pills? Which is what the name implies.Quote:

The X-Vive guitar wireless, is just two small key fob sized devices with 1/4 inch plugs on them, they have 4 channels, so many can be on the same stage, or you could put a set on either side of your pedal board.
But for my bass it works wonderful! (Fender P bass with Seymour Duncan pickups) A strong, clean signal, in fact it sounds cleaner than a 20 foot cable! Has built in rechargeable batteries, that works with any USB charger. They claim to run 6 hours on a charge, and my phone charger topped them off in 45 minutes. They cost $150 for the set, and I could kick myself for not buying them years ago! No more getting tangled in my wire, or pulling my guitar off the stand. I can walk to the recording gear without taking my bass off. I don’t know how I got by without it?

As long as they don't pick up Air Traffic Control like Nigel Tufnel's did. :D
So far so good! I’ve used them through about 3 band practices, and could not be happier! The instructions do say that if you have interference problems, it’s your problem to deal with. Sorry NigelQuote:

Now that is a great piece of kit Russell, nice and compact too. I had a Nady years ago which worked well but had a monstrous appetite for batteries. I also had a wireless headset mike for vocals but couldn't get on with it, ended up going back to my trusty old Shure SM58.Quote:

But these X-Vive units are digital, operate at 2.4GHz, and claim flat from 20 to 20KHz. And deliver as far as I can tell! Punchy bass. But one of best things is these tiny wireless units have a built in lithium ion battery, and they come with a wire that charges from any USB power source, both at once! With a 6 hour battery life, batteries are something I do not worry about. The two guitar players in my band are way jealous.

Getting close to finishing my Nelson Pass First Watt DIY M2X and B1 Pre - power amps.
I'm eating the rest of my donner kebab and chips :D
Chilli sauce or garlic mayo?Quote:

Was busy yesterday evening fighting with an old PC, which for some reason refused to be loaded with Linux Mint (for an elderly neighbour, older than me!), took some time. So wanted something quick, found some cooked sausages in the fridge, sliced them made a sandwich and put Sainsbury's sweet chilli sauce in it. Quite enjoyed the combination.Quote:

Yes, at least it's thinly sliced. Prefer naan to pitta but local chippy does it in a wrap which at least makes it easier to eat. I really fancy a donner now.Quote:

But you need salad to make it healthy :) Whenever I had a doner I always felt ropey afterwards. I like 'em but they don't like me.Quote:

It turned up today & the battery was dead! goes without saying it's being sent back (no returns - f**k off). This has led me to examining ebay listings for battery watches more closely (what a full life I lead..) & a lot of the listings say 'just needs new battery'!, well why not get one put in before you sell the watch? How would you know it's only a dead battery stopping the watch working? It's like selling a second hand car with no petrol in. Also in some listings where they conveniently don't mention if the watch is running or not you can tell it isn't as the hands are in the same position on each picture! Be careful out there people.
It’s not like they sell them cheap either

:lol: Exactly! I never said anything about actually eating the salad...Quote:

I've never understood the purpose of salad. A kebab on the other hand certainly has its place in the Universe.
I did partake of a takeaway last night but tried something different, a sheek kebab wrap, highly recommended (if you can find someone who does it).
That sounds like quite a project!Quote:

Not the sort of oatcake you are thinking of.Quote:

Fitted an ionizer/humidifier into livingroom to help with breathing and also reduce my static shock count.
As I took the pic a breeze or something caused it to look like its on fire. Lol https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ca93cbe576.jpg
is it my eyes, or can I just make out Brian May on guitar behind it?Quote:
