Hello,
When we first got a computer, a friend who makes fancy walking sticks came to try to get us going on it, so he typed in walking sticks...We got a load of porn?, dont know why, we both rushed round trying to find our glasses, but then the wife came in room so had to press the switch off button, quick.
Best wishes

Walking sticks...what search engine were you using there?  Just so I know to avoid it.

It's only between records and/or tours we see this kind of epic posting.  ;D

And all this out of a thread about a guitar.
Maybe the search went like this.
Walking sticks - bad knees - Cure for bad knees - Cure -  Pornography 
That should explain a lot of things
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

Hello, its me again, Last night i put the Fraulini Francesca guitar, x mark Knopler's on a free to advertise "preloved" site and selected "Make Me an offer" it was too complicated on ebay and they want a percentage. on preloved its pick up only ...i think ,,  I reckon if a collector wants it, i could afford a new one, and maybe get a resonator to mess with.
 Best wishes

Hello,
 Thanks for putting in that link, i was stumped!. I am well out of my depth, so please forgive if I'm doing something against the  natural order of forum rules. My Mk knowledge is limited, I saw dire straits on old grey whistle test years ago, talking point of all friends for a week, bought the L.P. played it incessantly.
 You will know that Steve Philips and  band plays at The Grovesner  Hotel  at Robin Hood's bay  every Tuesday. When MK is up this way he has  called in for jam.
 Question, anyone know, does this still happen?

Nice. It comes to mind how great a reprint of such an early Ticket would have been for the Deluxe Box instead of a fake one from 1996.

(Watched many special items from Queen the last couple of days on YouTube. One wants to send Paul Crockford a list of links and items to show him what's possible and what deserves the word "Deluxe")

By the way, couple of weeks ago I didn't win an auction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MARK-KNOPFLER-DIRE-STRAITS-5-Guitar-Tablature-Edition-/182247832366?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&nma=true&si=ofSvx0j%252Bzju95ZVyh78s9EJ%252FPzA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Five Tab Books (Golden Heart, Sailing To Philadelphia, The Ragpicker's Dream, Screenplaying + Jam With DS) went off for rediculous 177€.

If any of you have one of these (especially GH, STP or RPD), please let me know because I would buy it.

Not because I really need it, but I just love music being printed on the paper. Thanks!
