I installed an update to the Twitter app on my phone today. It needed new permissions so I scrolled down to see what it needed. "Control Vibrator" apparently. Well does nothing for me maybe it is a feature just for ladies?

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 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...

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...
Well, yes, I'm not surprised such a tool requires permission to use it!

ReplyDeleteHowdy! Didn't realize you were on Twitter. Just started "following" you on there. At least I think it's you (pretty sure it's you). :)
