The happy old man thread...

[Supernorm]

anyway i baited up both my rods and began fishing not expecting what was to happen withing the next fifteen minutes out there,

'Kin 'ell WW, you had me on the edge of my seat, I was thinking of the film 'The Perfect Storm' at this point, only to read on and find out it was all about a feckin plastic thermos flask cup.

[Quiffy]

Today I got a message out the blue from a girl that I haven't heard from for over 25 years. Back then, she was really fit and randy as hell. I'm sure little will have changed when I meet her.

am i alone in being cynical and thinking you made this up to humour us?

and then people have believed you .

[Ontolly]

She must be what , pushing 30 now?

If she is real:

So er.. she was a bit of a slackfanny 25 years ago according to your description, and has presumably not changed in all that time bearing in mind that she is prepared to contact you for a desperation shag.

I would seriously consider taking some disinfectant wipes to counter all the weeping mouldering puss, and crusty necrotic ulcerations on her minge. Anyway enjoy

Just been to Sainsbury's, great Stella deal on - 2 crates of 18 440ml cans for a stonking value £22

Maximum 4 per customer, I went in 3 times

I might go down again in the morning

[Blackwhite]

Initially missed the "2" there... fucking good deal. Pisses on my £1.78 (corrected) per litre deal I picked up yesterday...

[Leeds0269]

That would be alright if it was a drinkable lager. Stella is shite.

On a positive note, I just got a 24" LED Asus monitor, 2ms response full HD for £120. Win.

In your opinion of course. I like it, along with Carlsberg Export and Magners Pear Cider.

[col]

picked four nags at Newbury yesterday and did a lucky 15, 50p e/w.

Checked earlier and three of the fuckers won. Just collected £329.50 from Billy Hill.

One fucking happy old man!!

Oh and with the Stella deals - they'll be many a wife battered tonight!

[Devout]

A little thing I know, but I have an old school technics stack

What's that Grandad?

It is a thing of beauty young man.

I have a 30 year old Pioneer which is beautiful and has a gentle deep tone but I bow to thee with a Technics set up.

Oh and if you're reading this and haven't cum all over your keyboard then you're a sad fucker and probably still sucking on your mam's tit

[Mustafaster]

I'm still running an ancient Cambrtidge amp driving an even older pair of huge, fuck off Wharfedales.
Hammers the shit out of anything, from Stravinsky to Zappa, shuddering bass and crystal top end.

I put this through it and it's as close to heaven as it gets.
I jes' lurves it, be a sad day when it bites the dust.
Beats shagging any day of the week.

Running a Cambridge amp wiht Monitor speakers, proper wooden cases, 30+ years old and shake the walls of the house when my lad puts his dubstep through them.

He's got an amp like a plasterer's radio.

I dunno if any of you know an amazing band from Leeds called the Old Romantic Killer Band? They split up about 3 years ago I fink. I played with them in Nottingham and had to borrow the geezer's amp. When he turned up with it I nearly resorted to ramraiding the nearest guitar shop to borrow another, but by Christ the thing sang like a birdie.

They had it on some single cover or summat anyway:



So the rule I've followed since is: If it looks shite but the band's good, then the amp's gonna be really good.

Where from? I'd quite like one of them.

Guitarist in the last band I was in had an AC30 that he'd bought in a junk shop in Bristol for fuck all in about 1979. It's only since t'internet's had the info available that he's realised just what a gem it is - the serial number's ridiculously low, in the hundreds or summat. But that thing properly sings; just an incredible tone.

We were still a shite band, though.

I've just got back from seeing the specialist and finding out I haven't got a nasty cancer. Bloods, CT, MRI and biopsy results all clear....Yay!

Still have to have a big fucking lump cut out of my throat, but that's small beer compared to the alternative I suppose. Also means I can celebrate my 40th next week and travel up for the Hammers game without the worry hanging over me....Yay2!

Great news mate.

Obviously I'm no medical expert, but you have ruled out the possibility that it's your adam's apple haven't you?
