Cobwebs and Dust

I post so infrequently on here now I should change the background to cobwebs and dust! :-)

So Royal Wedding... blah blah! Best bit was some of the choral music. We were driving to Wales whilst it was on, Mrs F adamant that we weren't to watch it. However on a majority vote (first past the post system as a referendum) in the car we put on Radio4. Also we called into Warwick Services on the M40 whilst some of the ceremony was on the telly - but you couldn't get near it for pensioners. Honestly a coach load arrived and it was like a fight to besiege the best spot near the telly! I keep thinking this but if young people behaved with the level of intolerance and lack of general acceptance of others that I regularly see in the older generation now there'd be an outcry. Why is it acceptable for people to be rude and inconsiderate just because they are over 70?

Anyway - Wales was fun we stayed a couple of days which were sunny and relatively warm... windy but nice. Sorry this is Wales we went to isn't it? I'm use to lashing horizontal rain etc.

I've started my new assignment - back where I used to work. Odd - but okay so far.

Right see you all in a few weeks if the general regularity of posting continues...

    I wasn't planning on watching the Royal wedding. However, Massimo woke up at around 4:30am and I couldn't get back to sleep so I ended up turning it on and got sucked in pretty quickly. As soon as I saw Andrew and Fergie's daughters hats I just couldn't look away. (methinks that may have been an "FU" for not inviting their Mum).

    I would love to visit Wales someday. I really want to see Ireland and Scotland as well. Somehow, it all just calls to me. :)

    Glad that you had a good time!

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

Guitar Review - Vintage VE2000GG Gordon Giltrap Signature 12 string

Image
Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic.  Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre.  I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string.  This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design.  Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
