Ive been in the process of moving to a new house with my girlfriend.
Its a great house. I have a much nicer studio room too. Its bigger, its much quieter (no roomates stomping around, and their dogs barking ) and its central airconditioned. The house is right near the water, wich i love.
Of course, the pain in the butt is moving everything you own. Its alot of work, but its worth it. Ive pretty much got my studio back up and running at this point. I need to buy a bit more sound proofing foam, and i'll be ready to roll. Few more days or so. I cant wait!!!!!
Ive got Ricardo on the books coming up, and im really looking forward to having him in the new room. ITs gonna be so much more comfortable and easier to work in. I think we'll both enjoy the sessions alot more now.
well D, i figured since you 're bored, i'd give you something to read at least
Hey Dom, why you not practising guitar then? Liked koella's pic. Here's a different one. I'm at work and we are just sharing some pics of a meal we all went out for last week. Here I am looking slightly inebriated
It was a great evening! Get a dozen women together with a few bottles of wine and there's a lot of laughter.

Yup, I too am bored. So I gave Ailsa some stubble!!! It looks quite convincing actually!!! Oops, sorry Ailsa... I think I better go practise a Solea or something!
[EDIT: DELETED!!! AILSA DOES NOT HAVE STUBBLE!!!]

cause i am sh*t
i think i might quit my my job tomorow, im over it.im thinking of other career options, i thought i could become like that guy from kung fu (david caradine) and walk the earth barefoot, travelling from city to city aimlessly eating other peoples garbage. you know a drifter that sounds pretty good, the path towards enlightenment and all that crap....or maybe i should join a cult
Hey Georg, how do you change your user name?? I cant seem to find anything in my profile that will allow me to do it.
Dom, are you really an Undertaker??? If so Boredom, suggests you've nothing to do or no-one to bury in your case, so nobody is dying, perhaps you should generate some business yourself?? remember that old lady down the road, with the dodgy legs, perhaps a little nudge into the road as you pass her on the street or that irritating fat guy you always see on the bus, simply throw a doughnut onto the motorway. Splat!!!! You need never be bored again. Stu
The Death Biz is a great money earner, but not as an employee I bet... When I got the itemised bill after my Mother's funeral, my eyes stood out on stalks!!!
Moving the body 500 yards from the Nursing Home to the Funeral Shop (Sorry...Parlour of Tranquility )..... £225!
35cm diameter Carnation wreath......£140!
Sh*t, they get a sheet of 6mm MDF, saw it up with a bandsaw, bang it together with a nail-gun and cover it with a thin veneer of walnut or rosewood, stick on a few fake "brass effect" handles and charge £770 for the basic version, with lining extra!
Where else can you ask that kinda dough with a straight face??
(Luthiers take heed.. )
It's an F...ing license to print money IMO.
I can't believe you can start up a Funeral business from scratch... I bet you'd run into problems, like from your local council getting kickbacks or from threatening phone calls at 3.00 in the morning. Too much quick money exchanging hands...like drugs.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I found out most of the Funeral Parlours around the world were owned by The Mob.
My instructions to my wife are to tie two bricks to my feet and give a local lobster fisherman a bottle of Glen Grant to dump me in the North Sea...
cheers,
Ron
