what happened? I didn't bother watching

This is the second Martin 000-10e that I've had, Martins are knows for coming with a pretty high action, I took it to one bloke who I found online, had brilliant reviews, I only asked him to lower the action and he ended up telling me how it was in desperate need of humidifying etc, anyways, I put my trust in him and got a call a few days later to pick it up, I was in a major rush at the time so I had to literally run in grab it and run back out. Anyways, I got it back home and the action at the 12th fret was at something ridiculous like 0.5mm and it wouldn't play at all above the 5th fret for the buzz, I was absolutely devastated, not only that but it had two cracks in the side of the wood, I was going to go and set fire to his house for it but I knew that the guitar was ruined for me so I cut my losses and sold it and got another one. After plenty of debating I decided to take the plunge and take it into a dude called Bob Barry, he was recommended to me by both Hobgoblin music and PMT, anyways, he's got it playing lovely, even at the top of the neck the difference is massive, it cost £85 to get it done but the guitar cost me knocking on for a grand so it makes sense to get it playing as nice as possible.

Did he play with JT in the championship?

I was just about to post the line up from that exact game (although your date is 20 years too late it was 1995) that was my favourite Villa team/squad, probably because that Man Utd game was the first match I ever went to.

@mjmooney or any of the other guitarists, have you ever bothered taking your guitars in to get a full set up done on them? I got my Martin back yesterday after getting one done on it, the results are **** amazing, it cost £85 but my god, she's like a new guitar, absolutely loving the results, I'll most likely take my Taylor in a few months and get one done on that as well.

Here is a link to the story Investigator who exposed Jimmy Savile is working on child sex case against 'very significant' person | Daily Mail Online if you click around on google you should be able to find a bit more out, I can't remember why people decided it was DJ

Not so long ago there was some "whistleblower" type dude who said that there is a Jimmy Saville part 2 that is still being kept under wraps by the BBC and that nothing would come out until after they die. The Twatter detectives got on the case and decided who the guilty party was, nothing more than that but in the Twitterverse it became pretty big news for a while I think

David Jason...if the rumours are to be believed...

I've got a little obsession with everything true crime, I found out all of the actual court papers from this and read them from start to finish, I think that it was over 100 pages, now I am pretty much desensitised to almost everything but this kept me awake at night though, I felt like I wanted to bleach my brain, the shit that man did and tried to do is truly **** horrific, jail is too good for him.

I actually grew out of wrestling really early, I think that by the time I was about 10 years old I'd pretty much stopped watching it, all my mates used to go crazy for the "Attitude" era of Stone Cold and The Rock, I didn't have anything more than a passing interest, I always like Mankind, well Mick Foley character really. I posted in the Wrestling thread the other week that I sat down and watched whole of Royal Rumble 93 again, it was **** great. I've just had a look and the attitude era was from 1997 till 2002, so I'd definitely stopped watching by the time I was 12 years old.

Ivan Toney is a **** idiot, as soon as he knew the severity of his charges he should have pushed for a move (on a permanent or loan basis) to the Blues, because of his idiocy he has landed himself with an 8 month ban when he could have had a suspended 2 match ban

kings balti curry gardens eastern flavour well, 12 years later and my list has decreased by quite a bit, only 3 left out of 8, that's pretty depressing, Erdington used to have shitloads of good curry houses, now I mainly just use Kings and Curry Gardens and only go to The Eastern if I fancy a change

Howard Webb is on Monday Night Football in the next few minutes talking about decisions from earlier in the season and for the first time we'll hear the conversation between the ref on the pitch and Stockley Park as they decide how to give goals to Man Utd and Liverpool. You can guarantee that the clips they show will have been cherry picked to the Nth degree.

You can imagine him sitting down having a chat in his newly learnt language with Emery before McGinn enters the room Emery: Good ebening Alex, I am eerrr glad that you are settling in ok, you will be pleeeeased to know that we have fish and chips for dinner today Moreno: T'ank yu, boss. Jes, ai am set-tling in just faine and de fish and chips are wondurful. In bursts McGinn McGinn: Wheesht noo, ma bairns! Hoo's it gaun theday, eh? Boss, Wee Alex, ye haein' a braw time wi' yer fish an' chips, aye? An' dae ye's no jist adore the grandiosity o' ma erse? Emery and Moreno stare at each other trying to fathom just what language this strange fellow is speaking

I think there is a new one coming out soon isn't there, or there is one that has came out recently. I saw the trailer and thought well, there has been about 12 of them now and I haven't seen a single second of any of them, maybe I should give one a try, I thought better of it though and didn't bother.

I really am bowled over by the plethora of cricket puns

Whats the difference between Iron Man and Iron Woman? Iron Man is a superhero whereas Iron Woman is a command

Have you tried asking chatGPT to write you a song in a style of a particular artist? it is scary how accurate it is, I asked it to write one in the style of Zach Bryan and it could easily have been one of his songs, everything down to the chord structure, same with Tyler Childers and a few others I have tried

I'm on board with everyone complaining about how boring the sport has got, I usually follow everything to do with the F1, the last 2 seasons have been absolutely terrible though, I have watched every race so far this season but I usually use it as an excuse to get an hours kip in the middle of the day, watch the first 5 laps sleep and wake up for the last 5 laps, that seems to be the perfect way to do it.

just put the F1 on and I've just remembered that I had a dream last night that there was an accident and one of the drivers was killed, sounds stupid but I'm actually a little nervous about watching it now

I wanna see Brad Pitt genuinely challenging Red Bull, the first rule of F1 is that you don't talk about F1

Nah, I've got two £1k guitars, a 25 year old tanglewood that I'd never get rid of, my telecaster player which I prefer to the player plus so I wouldn't upgrade that, an Epi Les Paul which I wouldn't upgrade and a bass that I don't play enough to justify upgrading and my 12 string Inspired by Gibson Hummingbird which I love, add to that my Martin Backpacker and I'm pretty much set. I don't have space for any more and to upgrade on what I've got, I'd end up having to go into the £1k+ region which I just will never ever be able to justify.
