[QUOTE=ElKapitan]i'm getting the Primus DVD from my girlfriend![/QUOTE]

I'm getting it from my Nana *has a cool Nana :cool: *

I haven't asked for anything.

The next person to change their avatar to something christmassy/kwaanzay/whatever is getting negative rep from me. This is absolutly getting out of hand and avatarly challanged people like me are starting to get pissed. /rant

my nan usually just buys something off my mum to give me
*has slightly senile Nan*

Is mine avatar-ly challenged?





At least I made mine myself.

get in the spirit man, its only once a year!!

Yeah, Xmas is cool :thumb:

And Spaceman, have you read Survivor by Chuck? It's probably the best book he's written. Great writer.

Everyone should read The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. Great book!

No I'm sick of christams officially by now, I cannot stand shopping and I'm not even done with it yet. Hate, hate, hate christmas shopping. Especially since I'm poor.

Somebody needs a hug :lol:

Oh, I hear you. Especially since my family's car broke down. I won't be able to buy too much.

lmao
EDIT: not at u paul

For all you scholarly types that care about reading for real I recommend "How to be Alone" by Jonathan Franzen very much. I just finished it and I can say I'm moved.

Hmm.... brief summary?

too busy reading the canterbury tales and Henry IV for uni at the moment

[QUOTE=Mitchell Royce]And Spaceman, have you read Survivor by Chuck? It's probably the best book he's written. Great writer.[/QUOTE]
i have.
i've read:
-Fight Club
-Choke
-Lullaby
-Survivor

i have the other ones but have not gotten around to reading them yet.

and Stranger Than Fiction is not a novel, it's more a collection of essays and intrerviews and that sort of thing.






(and lets not start up about Guts again...or we can, because that was fun ;))

The Handmai's Tale - Margaret Attwood. Not a pleasant read, but interesting for those who like to have something to think over :thumb:

Paul, it's a collection of essays that deal with the loss of privacy and the state of fiction in the United States. It's obviously non-fiction, but great to read and very interesting and stimulating to read(even though my descrition makes it sound dry and boring). You will thank yourself for having read it.

i should really get around to reading Ullyses by Joyce but i'm too snowed under with reading at the moment. and i always get put off for some reason

[QUOTE=jamesr]Darn it, if i catch you on later I will post it. :wave:[/QUOTE]

Im here.

Hi all, how it was?

(My question is still up: Anyone know how does it work the pasive/active switch on a Tribute G&L 2000?)

ARGH!!! i did that for my AS level and i hated every single page of it!!
i'm not too keen on feminist literature full stop but thats just me
it is a very clever and thought provoking book, i just hated doing it for my A levels

On the tribute/american L2000:
3 way switch: passive/active/active with treble boost.

what's the deal with the last 50 or so pages of that book being only 1 sentence? if i remember correctly (noth that i've read the book, but i know some about it, and i have it) isn't it all just thoughts of people and has to do with how sporadic the mind is?

correct me if i'm wrong.


i would like to read it sometime, too.

If you switch the pasive on then the bass acts like a pasive isnt it? But, it will need batteries... *confused*

[QUOTE](My question is still up: Anyone know how does it work the pasive/active switch on a Tribute G&L 2000?)[/QUOTE]

The lowest toggle switch on the bass, closest to the bridge is the Active/Passive switch. The position closest to you while you are playing is passive. the middle one is active and the position farthest from you is active with high EQ.

I have to say (doing it for my A-levels) i don't particularly like the book, a bit too extreme, but it's very well written, and thought provoking, which is why i recommended it, i'm sure someone would be interested...

Yes, with passive on the batteries are no longer necessary. They're only there for the active preamp.

yeah, Joyce is famous for his Modernism 'stream of consciousness' writing style. i've read 'A Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man' and thats just really weird and random

D@MN MODERNISTS!!!

No offence, Mitchell Scrooge, but your rep is only worth a couple of points, that's not going to threaten anyone.

Lighten up! If it offends you THAT much you can choose not to have avatars displayed.

yeah so i just had a big row with my drummer, and now i have quit the band!

i know what u mean, its just i truly despise the teacher i had during my AS levels. he once insulted my girlfriend and i threatened to cut his thorat....it all got a bit out of hand :upset:

Hmmmm my teacher's pretty awesome, but kinda a feminist so it's a bit silly sometimes...
