I had one that was a Luger, the hand grip held a magazine for the caps

I think.

There were at least three types of caps

Some were in plastic self contained strips & I’m sure there was a green & also a red type of paper strip

The beginnings of a long affection for increasingly illegal bangers.

Just to clarify

Does this mean folk music is or isn’t Christmas music?

I ask as some truly miserable warbling was coming out the kitchen Home Pod when I got back from the pub.

I was told it was a Christmas selection.

Just sounded like AI shite to me.

Ruined my Christmas run up.

This clip reminds me of the character Burke, in Aliens. When Burke is jabbering about 'exclusive rights' to Ripley.

I am convinced these fucking people just watched movies for the previous out of office period - There is absolutely not even the slenderest grasp of reality in their words.

Ever.

I find it hard to accept cancelling a Prime Account is ‘nearly impossible’ Convoluted yes - but possible.

I use a new one if I want item(s) fast & with no postage.

I cancel a day later & get refunded the days unused.

But then again I do very little shopping anyway & prefer local towns.

The Rome episode has other equally interesting fallen empires - all tragic.

I don’t think it goes up to Western Civilisation of the 21stC tho’

We are watching that in real time obvs.

But I like the distractions of the old days.

🙂

I’m glad you made that point

I’m not an American, so I don’t have to put up with this daily bloodbath at schools, workplaces, shops etc

But it’s glamourised beyond belief & sells

Having said that, I was a crack-shot with an air rifle.

Old baked bean tins don’t complain when riddled with holes

And a great piece of artwork

Track up for you - Please check yr DM's for link

I’ve got a bit behind in fine tuning - it didn’t really need it. It was really for my benefit. I’ll make sure you have a link to it first thing tomorrow, apologies Ben.

Hang on ! I’ll put it up and DM the link

It’ll be a little later 👍

I made a few posts on this very topic a few months ago -

Although I didn’t watch them in chronological order (within the Alien time line) I put the DVD’s back in the correct order.

I actually consider Alien3 very, very good in all respects.

I excluded AVP etc.

They are pointless.

I am!

Although no one else seems to enjoy my running commentary on Come Dancing.

Apparently, just because I can barely see the TV doesn’t mean my insights need to drowned out by my family shouting ‘shut up!’

I mean, big deal.

They forget the blind fucker won it last year.

Good idea

For total beginners I suggest:

2nd Hand: No point spending on gear that’ll be unused in a few months

Electric: Lighter strings - easier to get a tune out of guitar

Check you are a potential player first:

Listen to Axis Bold as Love

If you like nothing on it you’re NOT a guitarist.

Well it worked for Trumps Russian - English Faustian Pact he tried to stuff down Zelenskyy’s throat.

I don’t see the problem

Broken Car Alarm at 1am with pissed up couple screaming.

Hi Ben, not sure if this is your thing- I have a new high-octane riff here. I‘be been in the habit of making a few synth-stylings on the guitar to lurk in the bg - if you fancy having a listen I’ll place it on my site & if you like it, add your ideas.

Let me know!

(It’s in the 140bpm region)
