Poor you, I don't mind thunder but that pesky lightening scares the crap outta me after a bolt hit the wall whilst my youngest was on the phone and the bloody thing melted.

Keep safe
Live each day as your last as one day you'll be right !!

I was struck along with friends. One died. I love to see it but am so wary about it. Afterall you're supposedly more likely to be struck again!!!

It's a shame you can't use a camera, I love looking at photos of storms.

Use a camera?? Rich....I've been playing electric guitar for 33 years and only now can I barely plug the fecker in!!

As an aside.....my oldest is an '81 Gibson LP bought when 8-9 months old....never been staged, only studio time....I don't even want to think what that f*cker is worth....hell, I don't even let myself play the thing.

BM would have a cardiac arrest if he saw it.

When I first read that I had got confused between thunderstorm and thundercat (blush) I thought to myself why is he watching a Yamaha come down the round at 415am out of his front door (facepalm)

Because anything involving technology puts my mind into extra-dimwit mode.....but put me and Steven Hawking together, that's a winning team right there.

Come on mate, point and shoot, even my 5 yr old daughter worked that out at about 2. If you can use a staple gun to install carpet you can use a camera.

Guitars are meant to be played, not locked up in a case. Best you give it somebody who'll use and abuse it as nature intended! :D

From memory my LP's a '91...but i could be wrong!

I did!!

My 'youngest'. is a 2005 AAA Standard in Sunburst....I kid you not, it's the nicest guitar I've ever seen...only reason I bought it is I got an extremely good deal on it...and I mean EXTREMELY good.

Even my best mate, was "Darren, I can't take this....tell you what, I'll put it in the closet until you want it back!!"


Your HP would still shoot up if you saw it.

Oh really??

Then how come women can't work a feckin' toilet seat??

It's always the same....."Well, you didn't leave the toilet seat down??".....well, b*tch, you didn't put it up....I don't fcuking complain?? Open, close, open, close......it's kinda like the door to Selfridge's, and I know you have that one figured out, 'cos I've seen the credit card bills....
