*walks in with his ever present pint of Guinness*

Ahh, so this is where everyone is.

BluesSlider, is that a reference to blues slide guitar by any chance?

Sorry folkes but I've got to go.

*hangs self service sign iver the taps*

Goodnight.

Huh?
So now I don't get served anymore
*Wanders into a corner and sulks*

Curses... rumbled

*blushes*

Yup, blues slide guitar is the other way I occupy my time. I could give you the VR version..'I taught Clapton all he knows..etc.etc.'
on the other hand I could tell the truth... I discovered that open tuning and a bottleneck are so much easier than finger-picking ;_)

Oh my gosh i so totally missed that drink... I think the uni servers doing WierdCashing again, and TimeKilling

You did mention it up the forum though.

No-one fear I will gladly take over at the pumps,

Now whats anyone having?

A of Guinness please

BluesSlider - I have been practicing guitar, finger picking, for the last year, my chops are getting there and I am currently working on Danny Boy.

What real differences are there between the two?

Courtesy the ever curious

Another please
The Princess Of Darkness

I'll have another of the Castle Eden please 97644, please excuse if you don't think I've known you long enough to abbreviate

One of Guiness

A of Tia Maria and Coke

And of Castle Eden

The name's not usually abbreviated though I'm changing it soon

Between finger-picking and slide? I guess my distinction was not really valid, you can finger pick slide, it all depends on what your left hand in doing(No smirking!), assuming you are right handed of course.

Most slide guitar tends to be open tuning....*thinks*..Do you want to pick this up somewhere else? I can't help feeling most folks are going to be asleep about half way through this and I don't want to be the pub bore

Thanks for .
Erm, exactly when did "I'm going to change my name soon" start?
Darkness, Princess of
(Perhaps I'll change my name, but since I'm going for brand Identity I'd better not.)

Cheers

A pleasure.

I started thinking about it as soon as I joined up but couldn't think of one. Then I thought I'd wait until one of the university clubs I'd joined had given me a nickname (no luck so far). Finally over Christmas I decided that it was time I changed it and have been thinking more about it the last teo or three days

G'day

9 of XXX and a of babycham please 97644

"I wanna get drunk yeah, off my mind
one bourbon, one scotch, 9 pints of XXX. and one babycham"

John Lee Hooker I believe

Cool.
I never bothered with a nickname as such. Joanna is me, and I am Joanna.

That's the XXX

And here's the babycham:

*sings*

"I wanna get drunk man, I wanna get loose, come on give me a triple shot of that juice, one bourbon, one scotch, one beer ....."

I know that George Thorogood (sp?) did it, but I'm not sure if he covered it or not.
