I was having a couple of drinks with friends in a pub last year when some random guy just came out of nowhere, grabbed my face and planted a kiss on me before i could even register what was happening. As i was trying to pick my jaw up off the ground he simply said "I just had to do that"...and walked back to his friends who had lost the bottom half of their jaws as well. It wasn't an unpleasant experience for me, and was taken in good fun.

Just a quick question for all you gat fans. Is it worthwhile getting the headstock of an Ibanez acoustic fixed?? And will the quality of the sound be affected by doing so? I have a part time job doing repairs and whether it's worth it or not depends on the value of the guitar. If it's an entry level model, I wouldn't bother paying a repairer as that might run into $100-$200 for the job. If it's a clean break, use PVA glue (Titebond) and a G-clamp to set the break. Place cloth between the clamp and the headstock so no marking occurs, and wait 24+ hours. Remove and clean up any glue leaks and smudges with a wet sponge. If it's a complicated break, you will need a repairer. The sound won't be affected by the repair, but depending on the quality of the job, the action and tuning stability may be compromised. Excuse my bad manners for not responding sooner H, but thank you kindly for your input. The Ibanez was gifted from a friend to my son, who played it constantly whilst just sitting around talking or laughing with friends and family....and i miss that. That alone to me is priceless. The pic shows where the break is, which a good friend of mine who is familiar with wood and various types of glue repaired it to the best of his ability, and it seems pretty solid, albeit rather unsightly...but my concern now is, that i'm worried the nature of the break will weaken the headstock and it will break again once its been re-strung and tension is put back on the headstock. What do you think? |

So, if you want to be snookered ...err... if you want to play Snooker, then give me your game money. *zee whispers* psssssssssst K.. don't listen to him.. I didn't hire him.. seems he's having some management issues over at a friends bar.. 'n I'm guessin he's just takin it out on us.. shhhhhhh.. <<----<<<<hahaha....i'm not entirely sure how one is suppose to take that seriously anyhoo Perhaps we can duct tape it to the wall and have our own living art space? ;-) |

Yes well...chalk that up to a misplaced speaker. I can hardly be held responsible for that now can i? *blink blink* Are you familiar with the game of snooker G?...i became fascinated with the game when i watched an Australian champ snooker player at one of the local RSL's over here...an RSL is a Returned Servicemans Leagues Club specifically for the welfare of ex servicemen which was first established post first world war. There are many of them throughout Australia & New Zealand these days where one can go and relax over a meal whilst enjoying a cold one...or 2. The profits from these establishments go toward helping veterans and their families. And yes....you'd be quite right in thinking that they are very well looked after. Anyhoo....i happened to be at one such venue when Eddie Charlton who was said Australian champ was challenged by another local champion. Ha!...the game is like chess...but with balls! Complete with non display of emotion from both players...who were notably knocking back the ales. The precision and skill that was shown that night had me duly hooked on the game. Oversize pool table that makes a ball sitting against the cushion look like a pee wee marble down the other end of the table....are you sure you can see that far G? Welllll...as tomorrows sun anyhoo ;-) Shux...i like a well weighted and balanced cue...keeps ones wrist supple when shadowing a taiaha. You've twirled batons haven't you G? Your shot btw :-) I PLAY THE WINNA.. although I prefer 8ball - hi/low(or solids and stripes) meself AND on an 8 ft Brunswick(got one in me den for practice).. gots me own cues too.. properly weighted and balanced.. *chalks tip in anticipation* No wurries mate!....flip yer coin on the end of the table. Well hey!...you may own this here establishment, but the snooker table doesn't pay for itself ya know ;-) |

I've known women and even some men who seem to be "romance addicts."...I think some of it has to do with wanting to be "rescued" from a dull life. (Like the story-lines and plots in fairy tales.)...What do you think? I think there's nothing wrong with that at all. I think i would rather hang out with people who see romance in everything rather than haters. What do you think? Edit to add....just about everything anyhoo. |
