My wife came home with a toy Pincher for Christmas (12 weeks old). I sit here typing one handed yet again with a puppy in my arm.

LOL - are you ambidextrous Doc, if so, you could double your workload in one fell swoop - just fiddle around on two computers at the same time!

Leaving you longer to work on my education!!

btw, do you know the difference between a carousel and a merry-go-round? No fair looking it up!

I always thought they were the same, but go on - I'll fall for it!!

No cheating allowed!!

See you 10.30.

PS - kids have to get nintendos off me 1st!

Riddle me this, Riddle me that?

"And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right"

This is from my own collection James:



I have told SidStrummerUK that when we are rich and famous - 4th on the bill at 'Ye Olde Nag's Head' grab-a-granny night - I will wear this if he continues to upset me by insisting on wearing his baseball cap backwards while laying down vocals.

Sometimes it's worse than that - he wears the bloody thing askew - ASKEW I tells yer - the man has no shame.

I reckon they go anti-clockwise over here too Bob.

Maybe it's similar to water going down the plug-hole - we need our southern hemispherical specialist Montezuma to check if the centrifugally enhanced fairground rides down under follow the general rule and therefore spin clockwise.

Might explain why our lot could never read Ritchie Benaud or Shane Warne?

Rats.
Apparently there is no difference. I could have sworn that at one time I had read that a Carousel spins clockwise, and a Merry-go-round spins counter-clockwise. I find nothing now that backs that up, although the American versions do spin Counter-clockwise, and European carousels spin clockwise. I'll just got to my room and be quiet.
Although, being the machinery junkie that I am, I have always thought the mechanism of a carousel was fascinating. So many large moving parts, with the precision of a watch.

Well "Carousel" sounds very European and "Merry-Go-Round" sounds very American so maybe you're right Robert! So what do you think of Jet Aeroplanes? I'm off! Excelsior!!

P.S. Did you guys see my new baritone guitar I bought yet?

Maybe they follow the Coriolis force, or the anti-Coriolis effect. Duh!

Anyways, I might as well put a pic of me and my new love up! Especially since you guys are talking about Carousels in the Guitar tracks forum! And, because I'm bored!

Hey there Z - how can you be bored with that little beaut!! If you're fed up of it already, I'll give him a good home!!

Now tell your Uncle Strummy the truth - your photo is obviously a still from your latest video realease, it's defininetly your version of Lionel Ritchie's Dancing on the Ceiling ain't it - the bit before the camera angle shifts. Be honest Z, we have ways you know!!





I dunno - never seen you two at the same time.......

Steve, why are you always offering a home for guitars and basses? Are you a closet gear whore? Come now man, out with it!

Now say Aye!

Aye Aye Doc!!

The reason is this: I work on the 1 in 10,000 hit rule - you know this marketing stuff like the back of your Ibanez [there I go again.... is it lonely - I'll look after it] Doc; when we did a flyer drop for the snooker club you'd be happy with one new member from 10,000 flyers.

Now, I reckon I'm up to about 8 unadulterated begging letters for guitars and gear - once I've gone double platinum on the forums the law of averages will mean I shall have some nice free gear - even if it's just a new pick [or secondhand - one is not choosy].

And I'm as tight as a duck's a***

Best wishes to all your gear

Chap goes to the Doc's surgery...
"I'm completely baffled by your fluorescent orange p***s" the Doc tells his patient. "Does anyone else in your family have this condition?"
The concerned fellow says "No"
"Do you handle chemicals or radioactive substances at work?"
"I don't work" replies the chap.
"Well what do you do all day then?"
"Watch porn and eat cheesey Doritos"

A suggestion then Strummy,

Just add it into your signature. You know something like "Will gladly take care of your guitar or bass. strictly free.

Good one Doc - I've just tried it but I'm alerted to the fact that my signature is then too long!

BTW - nice avatar - I knew someone must have been around long enough to get the Big Bang on camera...... that makes you about 14.8 billion years old my friend - is there something we should know my friend?

Steve

Lost in translation BOB - you Stateside chaps will have to tell me what a HO HO is?

Unless you're having a laugh!

Apologies for the awful pun.

I haven't participated in here for awhile but I was just noticing how scarce 'old Pistol has been. I mean his name was even mentioned in the start of this thread. Did you guys finally succeed in scaring him away? I think I'll come back to this thread later when I have more time to read all the crazy goings on. I see Tom has shown off his new geetar here too, sweet! Nothin says "I wanna rock" like posing with your latest guitar in your sock feet and make rock star faces!

Steve

Strummy, keep it sweet n simple and it should fit. You know if it were I, i t would be something crass like "Give me your guitar. I'll keep it tuned for ya."

As far as being around at the big bang? No no. That's the effect when you are flatulent and then go "Flame On!"

Oh and Steve you were supposed to leave your Avatar as the Silver Surfer till you make gold.

Oi Doc - you did an edit while I was composing!!

LOL 'Flame On' - It's the curry you know - bog rolls in the fridge and sleep in the loo!!

As to the avatar - it will feature among my selection.
