Would look cool if you'd swing it lower, like badgermark does, need a long strap for that ...

Dave does use pretty long straps!  When I tried his PRS at the London meet it was dangling round my knees.

Maybe that's because you have short feet :O)

My straps are the longest I could find. I was interested in the fancy leather ones Dave was selling, but the max length was about 8 inches shorter than my shortest strap length. Plus I'm 6'4", the longer the better.

I'm not particularly fond of the look of Telecasters, but I saw a band called Idiot3 supporting Ginger from the Wildhearts at a pub in Winchester, and their new (from what they said on the night) guitarist was playing a Tele through some form of Cornford combo.  Awesome sound.

It's the interplay between him and his brother in the series that's great.

Oh, and the babes they bump into   :wink:

No, that's what I can't stand!  It's getting to the point where I can't watch any American TV shows, they're all empty jibber-jabber, flashy camera work, paper-thin plots and actors who look like Ken and Barbie.  No substance whatsoever. 

But, if you compile a top ten TV series of all time, they're likely all from the US (plus The Water Margin  :)). Even if I do the top five from recent years, it's got to be Battlestar Galactica, Deadwood, The Sopranos, The West Wing and The Wire.

They churn out lots of mince, but the make lots of gold too.


EDIT: And the above are not the top five in my opinion only, they're the top five, fact. :lol:

Well, I'd have Homicide: Life On The Street in there, certainly.  So I'd probably like The Wire, if I'd ever seen it.

And I did like The Sopranos, at least up until the last couple of series.  And Oz.

And yes, The Water Margin would definitely be in my top ten!  :D

It was the only I had at the time.  I've got a better and longer one now  ;)

I've only got a few into S1, I dont think I have the willpower to watch much more when I dislike the characters :lol:

Stick at it Tom - it took me a good 5 episodes to start getting into it. I can honestly say it is my favourite ever TV series.
I think I hate being indecisive.

I like instant gratification, hence why I like Prison Break so much (well, the first 2 seasons were good then it started going downhill) :lol: :oops:

Will have to give it more time.
