    It doesn't surprise me that it's allegedly incorrect. Col

    So does that mean that all the people in Washington on Jan 6th were arrested? Col

    Coming to a Country Near You

    I actually don't. Nor do I know who 'john' is referring to - maybe some politician? As far as I can see, this thread is yet another wonderful display of (mostly) American paranoia, a bit George Orwell (ish). Col

    Coming to a Country Near You

    So what's the problem? Also, who are 'they'? If I'm tracked it must be really exciting for the watcher to see me go to Sainsburys to get food or get a bus to town for shopping. Stay legal and live a normal life and you've got nothing to worry about. Col

    Pay your bills

    I don't understand what you mean. Free fights? To where? What's 'the johns'? I understand you call prostitutes 'hookers'. Col

    £300 Parking Ticket

    There doesn't seem to be much parking restrictions in America anyway. In films or TV programmes you can drive up and park right outside the building or shop for free. There is always acres of space even on main busy roads in big cities. BTW, in the UK, a latte coffee from Costa or Starbucks...

    In the UK, motorcycle parking is usually free. Also in most cities motorbikes can use bus lanes. Col

    Florida banns social media for minors.

    Only the parents can decide if they can afford to raise a child properly. It's a big responsibility not to be taken lightly in a fit of passion. Women are designed to raise children, if they can't do it responsibly they should think twice. Col

    Florida banns social media for minors.

    Mothers these days are too quick to fob off their children to any Tom, Dick or Harry to look after whilst they go to work because they love the fact that someone else brings up the kid. Any mother who passes their child around like a bag of sweets must to be seriously deranged. They happily...

    Piano

    In a conventional band you usually have drums, bass guitar, rhythm guitar and lead guitar. The rhythm guitar is the chord instrument and the lead is more the melody - think Hank Marvin, The Shadows or the Ventures. I'm not much cop at chords so play lead. Incidentally, the bass guitar doesn't...

    Highway Star

    I agree, but I felt i was too old to do that and being at the root a drummer, I concentrated on the bass guitar. Then progressed to the stratocaster. Col

    Pay your bills

    Given that 360 million people in the USA can't put up a decent honest sensible candidate for the presidency, I would say Trump is the better candidate of the two. He will win no doubt - but be careful what you wish for. Col

    Highway Star

    I started learning drums in about 1961 when I first heard 'let there be drums' by Sandy Nelson. As I said elsewhere, I played in several bands for years, and then learnt the bass guitar and played that in an orchestra and did 3 European tours. Then I graduated to 6 string electric which I now...

    Loving My Mrs At The Moment

    There is so much anger / war / despair/ corruption in the world today. I rarely watch the news now. I've no interest in politics as they're all idiots. I live alone but see my wife daily (she is in a care home, she has multiple sclerosis), I have a car but I'm toying with not having one, buses...

    The Slightly Obscure Music Discussion And Quizzy Thread

    I think my drumming skills may have deteriorated as I haven't played in a band since covid came. Guitar wise I'm a newbie as I've only been playing for 10 years or so, I played bass guitar in an orchestra and still do the odd gig on bass if a band needs one to fill in. I'm not sure I could do 4...

    The Slightly Obscure Music Discussion And Quizzy Thread

    It's a journey I've been on since I learned to play drums 60 years ago aged 12. It started with 'Let There Be Drums' by Sandy Nelson (hear it on Spotify) then through various groups and European tours, I'm still at it. Now I play guitar just at home, drums are too loud. Col

    Trump is still the world's best bet ...

    If you say so - I didn't. But I think you're wrong thinking that. Col

    Pay your bills

    When one worships something/someone you are blind to any other opinion or point of view. It doesn't matter what it is - God, money, Koran, Harley Davidson, or Donny Trump. There are certainly some here who are in love with Donny. Col
