Not if they drive VW Touaregs - they would just push my Audi out of the way! Though the only time I have driven abroad was in Kenya - they drive on the left there. :)

Good video James. Well done, but why no mention of the vertical idler wheel, its wear and possible replacement?

Another good one. :)

I've drunk tea with them in Mali, they seemed pleasant enough despite the weaponry they sport.

What's a "guttiest"? Is it a gutsy guitarist?

Good album BTW.

Was it a 'pay and display' car park? Those desert car parks require a lot of maintenance. :D

9C and cloudy. So far, I seem to have posted the same comments about the weather for most of this year! Oh well, at least it's not raining. :rolleyes:

I agree, it's not bad, but not good either. And the same applies to 'Blow By Blow'; a couple of tracks are ruined IMO by the use of a 'voice box' (or is it a 'vocoder?), a sound processing device I...

We have had a fine day here today. Sunny, not too cold for me to cut the grass. :)

How do you know they haven't? They've already ruined everything, so why should the weather be any different?

Jeff Beck With Terry Bozzio And Tony Hymas – 'Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop'
...

Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Band Group - 'Live'
...

Alonso - 'Alonso'

There is no information about this CD on Discogs, as it was privately recorded and 'pressed'. All I can do is quote verbatim from the...

I've just played side 1, and have to say I haven't changed my opinion. Will play Side 2 tomorrow, after I have cut the grass. :lol:

I have it on LP (Epic S EPC 86025). Think I picked it up cheap somewhere. Haven't played it much - it's a bit too smooth for my tastes, I prefer Beck when he is more bluesy rock 'n roll.

You may...

Oh well, it must be "the exception that proves the rule".

Well spotted Steve.

An attempt by Cuban exiles and US forces to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, and overthrow Castro's Communist regime, was driven back.

Is the power to these houses supplied by overhead cables?

Again, it all makes sense, and that the idea was continued for new-builds.

Yes - it does mean speaker cable costs are minimised, but also it gives you the opportunity to try other 'exotic' designs for minimal costs.

Many homes had to be rebuilt after the war and the country was almost bankrupt, so new builds had to be designed to save costs. When it came to semi-detached houses, they were designed to have the...

Well that did make me laugh! One hopes he was able to contain himself, apologise and wait.
