  1. Yep- I see the same...
  2. Is it funny that Banksy thinks that judges use gavels?
  3. Bloody Top Cat and his Gang have set up home outside my workshop....

    RIP Ozzy

    He was so ubiquitous in the '80s that people started not liking his success. Doing both Live Aid concerts by jumping on Concorde didn't help etc... I still play Brand X albums, and yes his Genesis contributions were great- I got into his era of Genesis far earlier than the Gabriel stuff.. Trick of the Tail is excellent and Collins is superb on it. "after he was awarded the Galactic Institute's Prize for Extreme Cleverness he got lynched by a rampaging mob of respectable physicists who had finally realised that the one thing they really couldn't stand was a smartass"....
  5. T and T in Tunbridge Wells use EasyLive Auctions- I kept track of a pile of coins and stamps I put through and it worked well.
  6. I've tried three times since I posed...anyone got an idea about what works?
  7. Yes, I just got the 403 forbidden page- just trying a small photo attached to a post.....

    Route 66

    A very cool trip!!!!!
  9. What a loss. Bonkers and so funny. A trailblazer, and what a way to go out- just two weeks after such a concert! Considered almost godlike when I was young, in the West Midlands- really flew the flag for that area. I helped my mate do Terry 'Geezer' Butler's garden in the 70's, and we used to play about in the kit room at Terry's house- my mate Matthew on Bill Ward's kit, and would mess about on a Minimoog. Terry came home one day and announced the new album, 'Never Say Die', and we listened to the acetates of the album, each disc one side each, on the standard 70's rocker hifi- turntable, Mackintosh amp, and big JBL speakers, in Terry's lounge. What an evening. It's still like it didn't really happen....
  10. You are right- a few beers and a garden chair will make you expand....!
  11. I used to live the same distance from the MK Bowl in the late 80's early 90's, with the stage facing our way, so had all the big concert sound for free as well. Out with the beers. Michael Jackson, Simple Minds etc etc.... ( Kim Wilde's singing was so off she drove us indoors.....:-) ) I'd like to smugly point out that my fingerprints are all over the guitar pedal boxes being used on the Oasis tour, because I was part of their development in a small way, so Noel has paid for my beer whilst not listening to his concert!

  13. Reading the sports section on the BBC website this morning, I have just genuinely realised that champion golfers Schauffele and Scheffler are two separate people. No wonder I've been confused.
