A black Cricket Press in S/M, if you have room/nuff monies please HBomb.

Just picked up a nice budget drop: Sainsbury's Dun Leire single malt, Cooley distillery, eight years old, very likeable indeed and a trifling £20. Recommended.

Outside a pub in Liverpool...

^Pretty good - same kind of angles as my blue Humu you tried at ladies beginners - a bit long, but very tough and stable. Drawback is the dropouts... Humu has horizontals, this doesn't.

Souths tonight... done AND dusted. Woop!

Like lightning. I'm dizzy. If that's about 14-15cm post length you have a deal Ms.

I needz a 26.8 seatpost for a Raleigh beater project. With seat clamp, alloy finish would be nice, doesn't need to be terribly long. Can pick up in London.

Any metal fittings straps left? Pop some in your polo bag? Ta muchly

Ah, you have travelled this rocky road before me. Yep. The bloody Pro Reverb seems to weigh 20lbs more than it did 10 years ago...

The absolute best Fender amp I've tried is my mate's early ’60s brown Vibrolux. It's a really rare configuration with 2x6L6s giving about 35 watts into a 1x12". It's just mind-bogglingly good. And he uses an outboard Fender Reverb... and a Klon... and a 64 Telecaster... the bastard.

BlueQuinn, will listen to choons at a more suitable hour... cheers...

Ideally, I'd nab a super early AC15...

Hold on, hasn't Joss got one of those? You gotta have some dirt on that boy...

^ Swingers are vera cool… is that 24" scale or 22.5"? What colour?

So are Duo-Sonics… I once had a sunburst '63…

^^ Funny but I like tranny amps too. The trouble is, often they tend to be a bit percussive-sounding, and they don't take off at volume without the right pedal.

I love my old 70s Fender Pro Reverb, but gigged it Sunday and it was running hot… weird swishy noises coming through at the end… same problem I asked the guy to fix, and he obviously didn't… but mending leaky old caps on valve amps often has you chasing a fault up the chain with no end in sight…

Nice to hear a mention of Evans amps. Lab Series too…. awesome workhorses. I fancy a Webb. Ultimate pedal steel combo, and Steve Cropper used one for years. Rocking horse shit over here alas….

^ Sounds fun. Just found out I've been roped into a ’50s country boogie thing happening in three weeks. I expect the words 'crazy', ‘cat’ and ‘Tennessee’ to be heavily featured. The main guitarist is a killer old-skool Tele picker so it'll probably be fine. Erm, I hope.

Fender silverface Champ, best little amp ever...

Fixed that for you.

My mate's son has got one of those Roland Cubes with digital FX. Really pretty decent for £150-ish.

I think Yamaha are hoping the adaptability (battery power, doubles as an mp3 hi-fi) will sell that THR10 amp. But it's pricy, it looks like poo, you'll get tired of the effects in three days, and small speakers just don't cut it.

I have an old Yammy amp. Stupid loud 100W, 1x12, reverb, good EQ, the ultimate beater backup... great with pedals... £70 off eBay. Woop!

Stephanie at beginners ladies, I've got your waterbottle.

Might be in for either/or...

I would love to switch to Newt tonight, but I think it needs CowHen to float the idea and a consensus by 6pm latest or we'll end up splitting the session.

Kit steps up! Niiiiiiiiice!

I've been wearing the same pair of metal half-rim specs for years and they're boring and outdated. So about a year ago I made a horrible mistake and bought these, but in tortoiseshell.

They're way too shallow for me (my face is long and thin). Also, they fucking hurt to wear. Sooo dumb. And they weren't cheap.

So I've been window-shopping. I love NHS-style stuff but I can't get away with it… too pale-skinned, and transparents don't work on me. I do fancy all-plastic… something like these Paul Smiths, which you can get online for £200 or so all in. Trouble is, they're not super-comfy either. But they would do, I s'pose... and the money's okay.

But then… I found that Lindberg (the rimless Danes) have started doing full frames, and I think they're flipping gorgeous. They're ridiculously light, come with metal nose-pieces which will fit my bumpy nose (almost unique for acetate frames as far as I know) and there's lots of colours. These aren't the best colour… the tortoiseshell is better.

Or there's these...

Only trouble is, these things are ALL the money... £300 for the frames.

Argh. Specs justification crisis.

I'll be down...
