These bursts are exactly what a lazy work ethic looks like. I don’t think they were any kind of artistic or cultural representation of the times. I think this was just a case of shitty work practice,

I'm trying to give you enough rope so you can realise what it takes to become a true master like myself, since I'm unemployed I will be doing a series of online masterclasses in all aspects of filth and trolling, it won't be cheap but I can guarantee you will undergo a huge transformation, thankfully your background in psychology will be there to aid in recovery :mental:

Bollocks. I love the Les Paul Artisan. Hearts and flowers, like their old banjos. The only thing I hate is the price.

They had a walnut finish version at my local music shop in uxbridge circa 1976.
It was only about 10 quid more than a new strat at the time.



Obviously I bought the strat...
