And we will expect that your camera will be working overtime when you
have moments away from pulling things, cranking things, and ducking
things that might give you a Bang On The Head.

Piffle. *I* am Horatio Hornblower. Or Chay Blyth. Not Donald

Or a nice pint of Studland bay - you should be drinking Wrecked if you
really are over there!
If you are there why didn't you tell me I could have nipped round and

Next time I have to fill a self-certification form in I shall put the illness

I already have a blonde tele with tortie guard in something like stock
trim, that one's got a single coil size humbucker in the bridge
position (for extra wellie and reduced noise in hooligan mode) at the
moment. The Cunning Plan is that if I get the Coxoncaster I can put
the other one back to standard trim, swap the bridge humbucker into
the new one, and that'll give me a more-or-less matching pair of nice
looking Telecasters that'll cover pretty much every (hypothetical) gig
I'm likely to do. Which will be nice :-)

I hate to be utilitarian, but it is true that the motorcycle
is no longer of necessity an open door into fairyland.
Sordid people construct it, buy it and use it for
their own disgusting purposes, such as saving time or
money or extending the scope of their contemptible
chafferings.

I do like a tortoiseshell pick guard on a tele. I like humbuckers a
little less.

They reckon 10,000 turned up to watch the Yacht race I am doing
leaving Soutahmpton, and basically nobody cares about that except the
competitors.
And I resent your intimation that I think I am in Swallows and
Amazons, I think I am Stephen Maturin!

It must be even harder if the slug in question sounds like a venereal disease:
