  1. Rest in peace Doc Watson master of the flatpickers. You'll certainly be missed in my world.
  2. Beer, whiskey, music talk and good company at the pub. That was the kinda Friday night I needed.
  3. I think after all these years I may change banks. Anyone have any suggestions?
  4. It's nice to have a neighbour that looks out for your stuff.
  5. 3 branch visits, 4 customer service calls and I finally get a cheque book but sent to the wrong address! #itsmymoney @AskLloydsTSB
  6. @AskLloydsTSB The Old Street branch manager also said he would call me this afternoon to discuss the situation. This he didn't do.
  7. @AskLloydsTSB 45mins+ conversation that should have taken 5mins. The branch manager says it's sorted so can only hope.
  8. Rubbish customer services at @AskLloydsTSB Old Street. 2 phrases "It's my money" and "May I speak to someone who knows what they're doing?"
  9. Apart from a couple of bad jokes The Avengers is definitely worth a watch or two if only for the action packed ending.
  10. You gotta love the ABC dance scene in Clerks 2.
  11. "Can I see your ticket" No "please" or "may" Obviously politeness is not included with my overpriced travelcard. @TfLofficial @MayorofLondon
  12. I ventured past the second lock last night. Saw a big crocodile head and an enormous carrot. Now I know how Christopher Columbus felt.
  13. Still get a little buzz, even if it's only "You're the one in the hat aren't you?"
  14. Even without our mad scientist we were on fire last night. Be a brave band that would share a bill with a full strength Snakeoil Rattlers.
  15. Last chance to be on the half price list for the Snakoil Rattlers with the Groundhogs at 229 The Venue. On stage at 8pm. It'll be a good one
  16. @ClaireBsPlanet We'll see if that works later at the Hope and Anchor.
  17. There's two phrases it seems that will stop me dead in my tracks. "Look out!" and "Another beer Barry?"
  18. @Robert_Burrow maybe teen wolf's cool uncle?
  19. @Melindrift Adorable nieces? I think you've found not only my future wife but also Lyle's replacement. ;-)
  20. At O'Hare airport, a Chinese guy with a Russian accent asks me "Are you what they call a hippie?" Just wish it wasn't in the security line.
