So whose autograph was it?

Also happy to help. Ten years in software support with some development thrown in, and then some twenty-five in telecoms. And I have a knack for seeing where exactly something is likely to break.

My son used to have an electronic kit and both of us agreed that (once we swapped out the rubber pads for mesh ones) even the entry level kit was pretty OK for practice, but where it really fell through were the cymbals (even with upgraded ones with bell/rim/choke). If I had to set up a new kit...

As a bass player, I've always found a drummer to be one of the more useful acccessories.

You mean YOUR counter also wants to roll over ?

I"m dumbfounded. With entries that were all so completely different and all stunning in their own way, I still managed to vote for the winner. Congrats to all participants and especially to I AM a Robot.

By the way, the plague - the same one that decimated the Mediterranean in Roman times and all of Europe in Medieval times - is actually still very much a thing today. It's not massive death waves sweeping accross a country, but the disease is hiding in animals and occasionally jumps to a human...

CynicalMe would remark that you've gone from having little white specks to having little black specks. But RestOfMe looks forward to seeing it with that TruOil on it - it's going to look great.

Does Ron sell toilet paper? I could use a couple hundred rolls.

Type 'w' in the address bar of your browser. It's the two links at the very top.

Weird about this thread is that usually people ask us to talk them OUT of buiying (yet another) Warmoth...

She should enter them for GOM. Maybe use a slice of a Warmoth neck for the base so that it complies with the rules.

Please promise me that you will never, never, never make a bass anything like that. I still have a mariage and I want to keep it that way.

I think that it's hard to get our heads around the impact it's having in dozens of areas. For example, in Belgium we are expecting to see increased deaths from unrelated health issues, like people with cardiac issues or a stroke not going to the hospital, either because they are scared of...

My wife is a teacher in kindergarten. Close enough. Mayfly, I can't thank you enough.

In Belgium we have a couple of young people now in IC who took part in 'F**k Corona' parties the night before restaurants and pubs were forced to close. The life you put in danger COULD be your own.

Well, its a tricky one if you're a government. Take the approach of the UK, and to a lesser degree, the Netherlands, and you will have a sharper peak in the number of cases, your health services will be swamped and a number of people will die. Take the other approach, like France and Belgium...

That is a really thorough article, and it's worth noting that it dates from 2017, so well before there was any concrete indication that COVID-19 was ever going to be a thing. Yes, and that was why I spoke of 'ordinary' outbreaks. The 1918 flu was nowhere near ordinary, this was the mother of all...

I didn't get round to watching it when you first posted it, so thanks for bringing it up again. Really good. I really enjoyed the bass playing, this is one of the songs that make me glad that I picked the bass as 'my' instrument. But hey, if you dragged out the drum kit, you could at least have...

And if you don't believe this, take a look on the news at the army trucks rolling out COVID-19 victims in northeren Italy from cities that don't have sufficient morgue capacity to cities that do. I don't recall this from ordinary influenza outbreaks.
