Or I'll kill you all.

GurS 07-01-2006 03:55 PM

seconded ++

Instead, let's discuss this:

Is there anyway to capo a single string?

If yes, when I get a new guitar, i'll keep my old guitar, re-string it with much lighter strings, remove the bottom e-string, capo the a string at the fifth fret, tune it to banjo tuning, and have a home-made electric banjo :)

jpshortstuff 07-01-2006 03:57 PM

banjos ftw.
i've never heard of a single string capo, but you never know. you might be able to modify 1 to do it.

GurS 07-01-2006 04:01 PM

i've heard that such a thing does exist for banjos, coz the fifth string is short, so mebbe i'll see if one of those will work on a guitar...


or just get a banjo on ebay for 80 quid :)

Wow wasn't it amazing in doctor who how that face of bor swallowed rose whole and the only way the doctor can save her is to have a large series finale with re-use of expenisve costumes from all through both series

Lord Abortion 07-01-2006 04:03 PM

Yeah, I didn't see Dr Who either, it's been taped, I was too upset over England and forgot it was on.

AG 07-01-2006 04:03 PM

You can get single string Capo's that'll fret either the High or Low E string.

GurS 07-01-2006 04:05 PM

link?

and as an alternative to an 80 quid banjo off ebay, you can get a fancy epiphone one for 15 quid a month, eventually costing 400 and something quid

maybe a partial capo

GurS 07-01-2006 04:12 PM

hmm... if there was a 2-string partial capo, that would be poifect

PAJJ 07-01-2006 04:20 PM

i'm pretty sure it could be used for 2 strings, and maybe if you're clever 1, over then that but one and cut it short :p

GurS 07-01-2006 04:23 PM

true, true... i mean, I use a full-size shubb at the moment, but I can get it to only capo four strings... which is good, coz I wrote a funky song with the top four strings capo'd a while ago... which i've since forgotten :(

Mr. Black 07-01-2006 04:51 PM

BRAZIL ARE OUT!

Germany are goona win.

Jev 07-01-2006 04:57 PM

Maybe the drink's coming back to kick my as[size=2]s[/size]

The last time I felt like this was when I stayed up for 36 hours.

I'm a lightweight when it comes to staying up past 24 hours, I love sleep too much.

Lord Abortion 07-01-2006 05:05 PM

I have had no sleep for more than 40 hours before...last year at Leeds, then when I spent the night in Leeds Train station the second time a month later.
I didn't want to wake up with my wallet stolen, and my friends lying dead and arseraped on the platform.

ChodaBoy 07-01-2006 05:05 PM

I love sleep, but I always deprive myself of it by staying up till 6 everyday

Its not healthy

Auberge le Mouton Noir 07-01-2006 05:10 PM

But you just gotta stay up for neighbours, right? ;)

respectian 07-01-2006 05:12 PM

hey everyone, weve got a bassist now. so enjoy our tuneage at [url]http://www.myspace.com/superhelixband[/url]

cheers guys

PAJJ 07-01-2006 05:17 PM

neighbours isn't on at the moment because of the tennis :(

i love sleep too, i'm not sure the longest i've gone without sleep, it's probably when i went to australia, i couldn't sleep on the plane/in the airport at all, and it was a pretty long journey.

Jev 07-01-2006 05:18 PM

Argh. I have to wait for my parents.
They've been at the pub since 3 and I've had to all the chores. Mega ohnoes.

Mexican Bandito 07-01-2006 05:23 PM

I'd sleep all the time if I could. My bed is the comfiest place in the world :)

The longest Ive gone without sleeping is about 38 hours.

ChodaBoy 07-01-2006 05:27 PM

Anyone know of similar sites to Amazon? I dont want to be dealing with Ebay

PAJJ 07-01-2006 05:28 PM

[url]http://www.play.com[/url] it's greater then amazon aswell

i'd do the same, except you know in my bed, and by myself, not that there's anything wrong with you. Bah you know what i mean, i was just trying to avoid the :naughty:etc, but it turned into rambling

Mexican Bandito 07-01-2006 05:31 PM

^^ yeah it's alot cheaper as well.

Why don't you want to use ebay?

ChodaBoy 07-01-2006 05:34 PM

Play doesnt have enough selection, I've used Ebay before with bad results

Mexican Bandito 07-01-2006 05:36 PM

hahahah

oh you! :p
you wouldn't have room in my bed anyway. I like to spread out - you'd end up on the floor!!

Jev 07-01-2006 05:39 PM

My bed smells like 2 days after I put new sheets on.
It makes me sad.

PAJJ 07-01-2006 05:45 PM

:lol:
i have a double bed and never liked someone else sleeping in it with me, i wouldn't even attempt a single

i'm really bad for changing my sheets, like every month or so, but they don't smell so it's all good :)
edit: although thinking about it i changed them all the time when they *cough* were used more!

Lord Abortion 07-01-2006 05:49 PM

My room is a fetid pit of rankness, I think.

Patrick O))) 07-01-2006 05:50 PM

'sup

England blew (first game I'd watched all world cup), and put on, in my small opinion, a sh[size=2]it[/size] performance, except wossname in the second half, Hargreaves

I got hammered last night :upset:

Stoo 07-01-2006 06:14 PM

Thank fu[SIZE="2"]c[/SIZE]k England are out.

Shame I got Brazil in a sweepsteak in work. GGAAAHH.

PAJJ 07-01-2006 06:14 PM

hey pat

what's with the :upset: at getting hammered, sureley it's not a bad thing, unless something bad happened?

Jev 07-01-2006 06:16 PM

Why do scottish people support anyone but England?

Stoo 07-01-2006 06:17 PM

Because Scotland will never be good.

If they were, I wouldn't care.

ChodaBoy 07-01-2006 06:19 PM

I lol'ed at a joke on They Think Its All Over before.

"After the world cup, Diego Maradona was voted 'the most hated man in England'.
At the same time, he was also voted 'Scotland's Sportsman of the year'"

Patrick O))) 07-01-2006 06:37 PM

[QUOTE=PAJJ]hey pat

It was cool

Except I [I]did[/I] try and text a guy called Alex, but in doing so managed to text Aidan 'AG' Aidan about 4 times with a blank text, using up all my free texts. And I got into a fight

It was a good night :D
