This guitar fights flashism
My guitar fucking detests barre chords.
Push harder, girly-fingers. Think "My index finger is a goddam Shubb! No string shall pass!"
With a little practice and a big left bicep, you can bend the fucker into tune. String up with some fencing wire and we're good for monster tone.*
*Limited liability only for this terrible advice.

I c*nt stop saying twat.
I once knew an Australian who used 'Fuck my dog' as his favourite epithet.
"Well, fuck a brown dog!" was a popular expression of surprise here a few years back. Another similar phrase, meaning "good luck! have a good time!", was "get a big black dog up ya".
O tempora, o mores.*
*no, not really.

Yeah, can I just add my utter confusion to this?
I believe it's the whole shouty entitled American abroad everything-overseas-must-be-as-it-is-in-the-US-or-I-am-squealing-quite-loudly thing that's being aimed at here. The actual example may have been a little loose.
And now I am out of hyphens, which is fortunate for all y'alls.

I don't own a pair of bluejeans.
Nor I. Like LBJ, I need the space.

Nowhere near his best comment-wise, but the guy is definitely a champion.
I could tell you a fairly embarrassing story about him, but you'd have to kill me first.

Scrump Goes For Broke
Paul, you're a good sort, but when you get on this kind of repetitive riff it's unseemly. You've made your suggestion; let it float or sink on support other than your own advocacy.

I didn't favourite your suggestion because I don't support it. Ohers may; it remains to be seen.
Seriously, I am not having a crack at you here. Let the thing gain its own momentum or fail for lack of same.

Clearly, Wolof, I've misread you,
Easily done in the climate of pissiness that pervades this place.

Thank Christ. Luckily you didn't pick up that you could plug any damn mouse you like into that thing. What else did you learn from this site?

Impromptu meetup in Melbourne?
Note — Good Friday in Oz is the only day of the year you can't buy booze. You want a drink on Friday, hit the bottle shop or the supermercado on Thursday.
You have been warned.
Wishing you a fabulous trip.

Maybe not your thing, but fairly accessible.

Sydney meet-up
Damn me, I miss Sydney sometimes. I miss shit like sailing on the harbour and the subtropical plant life and the rain in January and Eagle Rock down in Royal Southern and Sydney Uni library and grounds.
I don't miss the outrageous rents for shoeboxes, the pissfight to get any endeavour that's a bit cultural up (given the expense), and the 4 million assholes all shopping on Saturday morning though. If I was an investment banker rather than a fringe arty type I'd probably fit better.

if you're a fringe arty type, why weren't you doing your shopping at 2pm on a thursday then?
Had to get a dumb job to pay the rent. Need to buy a used door? I know tons about doors. Furniture needs stripping? Yeah, I used to be that guy.

I'm going to play it as it lays; I have a couple of upcoming issues, like signing on the bottom line for building a new house on Saturday morning, and potentially a new bass (which I have been waiting on a long time) for me to assemble and play on Friday night. It's also a bit difficult for me to repair to the pub on a hot day with a kid who's 4.
Anyway, more tomorrow.
Best to all.

I'm enjoying the lamentations of your Mariolles and your Neufchâteaux as I drive them before me. It's Saint-Nectaire to my Oltermanni Gubbeens.
