Yep I can confirm thats my lead... can't remember who I lent it too ;)

Looks like another good day in the Tron, thanks for the donations. Never got my bloody roof fixed but did do lots of other things around the house that put a smile on the missus face so there you go...
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I did do some vacuuming funnily enough, but I did choose the vacuum, and when its dyson BFG style, its not such a chore ;)

Good to see matman sneak out on his wedding anni....well done that man
I'd like to say that it's because I'm the King of my Castle and Wear the Pants Around Here - but it was more me getting a pass because my wife was crook and wanted to sleep and our youngest was already crashed out.

Man, it totally does! I am not an SG guy at all but Ops Guy said that I had to try it (and the room was empty so my usual 'no playing guitar in front of forumites' rule was still preserved) and woah! That thing just about plays itself! Much GAS/Gearlust!!!!! It (+ the very nice Marshall it was going through) made even yours truly sound half way decent!

Wow, looks incredible. I'm always gutted to miss the TronFest, as there are large stacks of gear that I would give eye teeth to try out.
