How he was still an MP after that Brasseye appearance is beyond me like. What was that, 20 odd years ago? Still an awful thing to happen, regardless of any abhorrent views he may have had.

Ha. Funny that, I used to think the overwhelming majority of guitar players were insufferable pricks. Took me until my mid 30s to realise that was probably all just projection. On a different note, dunno you remember the chat about the Germanium transistors in your Fuzz Factory (think it was Soviet military spec 308V). Sadly my guy has packed it in and shut his shop so I'm no longer getting them for 80p a pop. Get the feeling I was his only customer tbh. Good news is he put me in contact with his supplier so I'm now getting them even cheaper, just having to buy in bulk direct from Russia.

Well there goes any shred of credibility I had left.

That's fucking hilarious. "We've lost green Day but found this Belgian band that sort of occupy similar musical territory".

Fuck, I got a weird reuqest to build an MXR dookie not so long ago and after a bit of research had to turn it down. Frighteningly over-engineered for what it is (technically) but seriously hits the nail on the head phonically. Still weirdly intruiged by this pedal and you've just reminded me to dig into a bit more.

I've got no fucking clue who Mason is but if he's upset about the Nux pedal I'm gonnae go out on a limb and guess he's taken swapped the "voice" control on the Zen Drive, swapped it for a fixed value and claimed it as an original idea. Seems to be how the whole "boutique" pedal scene goes. Glad to hear the Zen Drive is still holding up though @Gemmill. On the off-chance of any issues down the line just give me a shout for a repair or a replacement.

Don't know much about it tbh bar it being a Dumble style overdrive. Big fan of the Zen Drive though which falls in similar territory, and there's fuck all to that (like most analog pedals) and really no reason why a mass produced version at £40 quid would be any worse than a £200 "boutique" effort some cunt like me has thrown together in his shed, bar the "buying local and supporting small businesses" rhetoric.

As much stick as Rafa gets about his weight he's still surely an outsider in the PL manager death-pool. The odds on Bruce likely halved today when he wasn't given his books. Edit: Just to clarify I was meaning due to poor health rather than an invite to an RSA embassy, but looking at Bruce I wouldn't be surprised if a cough that sounded a bit like "Khashoggi" might be too much for him.

Funnily enough I think I actually got in by using the disabled registration form. Must be some kinda tag on all my posts like. No other explanation on why I wasn't hounded out or ritually abused even after confessing I follow a team that wear red and white and go by the SAFC acronym. -
Take a look

That's what life is about if you ask me. Questionable decisions that lead to great outcomes and even better stories.

Not got a bad word to say about Keeley but isn't the Steel Singer a Dumble in a box and a bit far removed from a delay/reverb?
-
Like I said, I doubt it would happen but I'm thinking the infamous "I asked for a table and they bought me a lamp" quote and imagining what could be if he was saying "I asked for a ball-point pen and they bought me the half of best players in Europe"
-
Not sure why anyone would doubt Rafa as a short to middle term appointment. Doubt it would happen but as stubborn as he is he'd keep you safe in the short term and have some decent building blocks in place for the future. Especially with unlimited funds.

Not gonna lie, probably the best things about watching the rest of the world lose their fucking minds over this takeover is seeing you cunts asking each other what's worth watching on Netflix.

The big clubs that are threatened by this were all too busy trying to plot a breakaway Superleague before anything like this happened to scupper their status. Fuck them. I'm not even a Newcastle fan and I'm not going to pretend to be now that this has happened. Chuffed for you lot though and looking forward to watching the glorly hunter Manchester, Liverpool and Chelsea fans all having proper shitfits over this. With any luck this PIF has another eye on the SPFL and breaking up the old firm, just for a bit of interest. Imagine a world where the brutualist House of Saud ends bigotry in Glasgow and unites the city in their opposition of their hatred of.......Partick Thistle. -
Nobody else hoping to see him dragged off by some Saudi hitmen mid pre-match press conference and then the camera to pan round to Conte? Edit: Not suggesting murdering him like, just giving him a right scare, drive him about blindfolded in the back of a transit van for 9 hours and then drop him off back at home.

For the record, when the book rounds to a fucking ridiculous 200% the prices aren't really any indication of where any money is going. The way the betting stands just now you could drop Gerrard completely from the book and still have it round to 180%. Pure pisstaking by the bookies with these markets.

Fucking hope you get the original version and not that technically more polished but lost all it's edge Americanised wank remix.
