I have, in my late 50s, just finally got my teeth 'fixed' after nearly 30 years of avoiding it. Creamola Foam is not blameless in this matter.

(Sorry about the spelling of 'neuropsychology', it's Saturday night, and I have been drinking)

I see pink and green, but I am aware of the bizarre way that we actually percieve colour because I did a few modules of neurophsychology. Look up 'Opponent Process Theory of Colo(u)r Vision.' Also, I am a man and do not know what Teal is. I see eight colours, like a Windows 95 computer in Safe Mode.

Has anyone Skeeted / Tweeted "WOKE MARXIST QUEEN!" yet?

The music business did this for years: hype up a single from an artist who is declining in popularity, release the single, then go and buy half of them back yourself, and spin it in the press as a resurgence.

I really try. Sometimes I just don't get it, and I have to concede that I am right and this music is pants. I'm sure somebody likes it, just not me.

There is a reason we call it 'tuning up'. If you are sharp, tune that sucker down way flat, then tune *up* to the right pitch. Never tune down and trust it. Tune up. Too sharp? Go low, then tune *up*. You think guitars are bad? Try playing double bass. 6 1/2 feet of badly behaved steel and wood.

It's not New Year at 9am tomorrow. Timekeeping as accurate as messaging, then?

I am primarily a bassist, so I'll go for watts every time, but I'll also go for tone through speaker cabinets. I currently go for a 2 X 10" with a 500w Hartke head., fills any room that doesn't come with -EC at the end of it. IMHO a Bantamp is a brilliant practice amp with a 1 X 10" cab.

What is that? AC15? AC30? Either way it is an epic gift!

I sometimes sift job applications. You can tell. You can really tell. I do not look kindly on AI-generated job applications when other people do the work themselves. If you're going to cut corners in your application, what are you going to be like in the job itself?

My sister still has a vinyl copy with a sticker saying "Pay no more than £2.99". Wouldn't get you half a pint in a pub now.

As a drummer, I always wanted to learn the intro to Little Wing on the guitar (turns out, I am a lousy guitarist).
GUITARIST: Hey, stupid drummer! What do you think of my new guitar? It's got twin bumhuckers and a Keith Floyd tailpiece.
ME: (Plays Little Wing intro). Yeah, nice, anyway Neal Peart...

Good evening, how are you? Xmas request from my significant other: a deep blue pendant. She tends to go silver rather than gold. We're not into jewels, so I don't think she wants a sapphire. Can you help? (I used to follow you over at the bad place, loved your work there.)
