How lucky?

I'm cack-handed[1], yet play both the guitar and drums[2] in an
anti-cack handed manner.

[1] Actually, I think I might just be confused. Right handed: golf,
guitar, drums, mouse. Left handed: racket sports, writing.
[2] no, not at the same time.

 

You like cricket, then?

 

Not uncommon. I'm left handed for writing, shooting, snooker, slicing
bread, spoon, racket sports. Right handed for cricket, knife & fork,
cricket, onanism, arse-wiping, mouse.

 

Yes. There was a lunch interval.

 

I write left handed, playing cricket I bowled left handed and batted
right handed, golf I played right handed, football I was right footed,
racquet sports I could play left or right handed and often changed
hands rather than play a back-hand shot.

If I take a swing at someone it's left hand for the head punches and
right to the body.

 

Drums - right handed and left footed, I never had a chance

 

<makes notes, just in case>

 

There's a good one called "Lick Library". It covers all the chord shapes
you're likely to ever need, plus the pentatonic scales in all the keys. And
more. I can't remember who made it and the guy isn't the most "electric"
presenter, but he's clear, concise and pretty good. If you send me a snail
addy, I'll drop a copy onto a DVD for you.

It's one of the things (learning to play) that isn't stopped by bad weather
or the instruments ability to lob itself into a ditch (or into the depths of
a deep dark ocean) if you **** up, so I'd say it was definitely the next
challenge.

I pissed off a drummer *big time* a couple of weeks ago saying exactly that.
I was running quickly through a tune so the bass player had an idea of the
changes when drummer boy started "joining in". I asked him politely to shut
the **** up and topped it by saying "**** me Animal, dum-ching-dum-ching,
crash bang wallop isn't THAT fucking hard".

*Ding*. Me too[1], but I'm right handed on a guitar, left handed for arse
wiping, both when a paint brush is involved (not witth the arse wiping
though).

[1] Inasmuch as I can't kick a ball with either.

Snail mail address sent to your above address.
Thank you.

I've got my VHF Radio exam coming up soon. They wouldn't accept my PPL
RT ticket from 30+ years ago for nautical stuff.

Apparently things have changed some what since then.

*OUT*

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

 

Or *OVER* if I thought you were going to reply.

Yes.

We don't say that now either, grandad.

Ah but I talking about taking the VHF Radio Short Range Certificate for
marine application.

Including VHFDSC which is a tad advanced for the flyers out there.



*But* CAP413[1] still uses 'out' and 'over' for non VHF UHF
transmissions. Other wise it is optional and hardly ever used.

Long distance flyers using HF etc., still say that Sonny >


[1] It's the latest one I've got. I may be superseded by now.

 

I think you may be, Mick.

It's an age thing. And a use-by date thing.

 

"A man's got to know his limitations"

You are only old when it takes you all night to do what you used to do
all night.

Fortunately I'm still able to do things people a lot younger than me
wouldn't think of trying. ( OK KEEP IT CLEAN BACK THERE ).

There was a guy at my old local who in his late 40s was a lot older than
me when I was in my late 50s.

You must have met the type.

I have also been told, when parking up in King's Lynn, that I should
grow up and stop riding a motorbike.

WHY?

 

It's not arrived Mick. (beavis dot original at ntlworld dot com)

They probably stopped using "10-4 good buddy" as a sign off during the
intervening years

Umpire!!

One of my neighbours is the son of a previous neighbour and I spent 10
minutes tlking to him before I realised I wasn't talking to his dad. He
actually looks, moves and behaves like someone older than his dad and his
dad looks fucking ancient. I asked the missus how old the bloke is and was
shocked to dscover he's in his mid 30's. Same age as my own son, but a tad
"worn out" looking.

He's a carvanner which goes some way to explaining his premature
ageaculation.

Jealousy of course. They want to ride bikes, but their wimmin won't let them
coz they have to be "sensible at your age".

I once saw a bike with a number plate slogan "I'm sitting where your
wife won't let you".

If I was sad enough to ever have one, I think I'd be inclined towards
"Wish you were here?" on a similar theme.
