5 Lighters For A Pound

Bass playing lover of fuzz, punk, garage rock and Tranmere Rovers.
Relocated to the lovely lakelands of Fermanagh years ago.
Dark humour. Every band I've been in was woefully shit. Coincidence? I think not.

In my opinion, if you really want something, just have the balls to ask. I recently asked the singer of my all-time favourite band that I'd tour/record/whatever with them (as bass player) and they replied that it was 'noted'
Wish me luck, lol.

1. The search for the perfect fuzz guitar pedal, on a budget and disregarding budget.
2. Brian Jonestown Massacre best songs (changes constantly)

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without preparation.

1. Music
2. Tools
3. Architecture
List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without preparation.

1.) Getting Unstuck
2.) Nerd Shit. (Exciting, and a bit of a catch all)
3.) Agile and Product Development (Less exciting, but done properly, it makes work quality of life dramatically better for all involved)

Bonus 4.) My cat. 🐈

Surely there's some sort of official protocol to stop the White House being vandalised. If not, then I'd paint it all black. Waiting for the Live, Laugh, Love to appear next.
Omg the Oval Office door 😂 sorry, I can’t 😆

This is a harrowing situation. Kids receiving treatment usually have their chemo timed into defined windows as they can have many complications pre and post chemo dose. In defence of the staff, they are absolute heroes given their salary disparity, long hours etc 1/2
