In the three bottom car parks against the back of the Bollix, approximately zero seconds.

We were lucky, had a bit of grace on the parking but the towie was there to collect 2 cars.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Was a fun day, also glad a couple of us were outside having an ear rest when the tow truck turned up!
yeah thanks for that. Don't think I was one of the cars he was there to get but I moved anyway. Don't think I've ever seen guitarists move that quickly before :rofl:

Good camera on that phone then... Samsung J5 camera very poor compared to yours.

Some very cool gear and great to catch up with those I've met before and to meet the rest of you. Apologies for ducking off really quickly - some cat forgot to change his watch for daylight saving the week before and put me wrong about the time - cheers Matt!

And big thanks to BG for organising - sorry about the ears and the plumbing - hope both improve!

getting a plumber in tomorrow, have finally admitted defeat. I reckon its a joint drain and the temp tenants in front have been flushing nappies or something. Wouldn't be surprised.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Great shots Sir!
The gold Squier is Zaulkin's. Loves a gold Strat, I do.
And well done on the Old Folks; from where I parked, I never saw their Ass. :rofl:

There was a Parker Fly? I never saw a Parker Fly!

Good phone, good photos! Missed the Fly too, always wondered about its appeal.

Super ergonomic. Light, but consistent (not headstock or body heavy).
Fretboard is slippery. Stainless frets; the whole thing is a carbon something like the proper steinies.
Piezo pickups aren’t my thing so that was a bit blah, but the rest of it was great. Trem surprisingly pleasant. Felt well made.

- my two cents.
