Do i need to link you to my air guitar thread response?
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

Why do you call it your 'air guitar thread response'?

I keep laughing every time I see the words "Hair horn".

Well the thread was initially about a air guitar being on egay.

The auction had been taken down before I got to it. You should have named your response after the thread to avoid confusion.

Couldn't remember the name and couldn't be "ringed" to look.

'Couldn't be ringed looking' sounds better.

Can't be arsed to read the whole thread so here's my input:

1. I hated Sound Control. Fuck them. I've voiced my opinions in another thread. I do still feel sorry for all the people who turned up to work only to find that the locks had been changed though.

2. What I heard was that the RBS pulled their 49% share. You can imagine the issues this would cause. I think the reason this has affected the whole instrument retail industry is because other banks have seen what the RBS have done and decided that there must be a good reason for it, and followed suit. I still don't know why they pulled their share.

3. http://www.soundcontrol.co.uk/

I'd get down there in the next 11 days if any of you have any sense. If you don't know if your local shop's open or not, I assume the six on the site are the only ones that are open, but call in business hours to ask an innocuous question like "How much is an SM57?" or "What time are you open till?".

Sorry if any of that's been said already.
I'm going to
Tear your fuckin' eyes out,
Rip your fuckin' flesh off,
Beat you 'till you're just a fucking lifeless carcass,
Fuck you and your progress,
Watch me fucking regress,
You were made to take the fall,
Now you're nothing!!

My local shop, despite being one of the ones that was kept open, is now closed. I hated the place too but I'll just need to start keeping a stock of stings etc.

Cheaper than a shop and you don't have to leave your house.
