hey rather than waste it... I'm sure most of you have shaken the empties the morning after in a house party? The occasional cigarette butt and ash is just one of those little surprises, I'm sure the same could be said for an 8 year old Kilkenny.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I'd be happy to smash it for the team. My request is you'll all look after my family and make sure their needs are met. Thanks.

Out of desperation I once drank a heineken that was a year past its use by, had black dots on the froth and I felt quite odd afterwards :lol:

Out of desperation I drank a Heineken last year.

You'd have been ok, pathogens can't live in beer. A low pH of probably 4.5 or so and 5% alcohol by volume make finished beer a really unpleasant environment for bacteria. Plus it would have been pasteurised as well.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Great afternoon, thanks for coming around and bringing some wonderful guitars. Definitely a couple of guitars that took my fancy in that lot, maybe I need to expand my acoustic collection...

I only took a couple of pictures, some of the others took a lot more and I guess will post in here.

A lot more guitars than I was expecting :)

Kdawg's 1974 Martin. I always have a soft spot for guitars from that year. Not sure of the model though...

EDIT: just found the original thread by Nipplewrestler. It's a D35.
