Benecol helps you out: this is just down the road from where I work, so can do recce's if required.
Benecol fucks you up: this week is Gold Cup week in Cheltenham, so I'm fucked if I'm going anywhere near the place after tomorrow for a few days.

Gold Cup week is keeping me away from my curry at the Everest (postponed until the hullabaloo has died down).

How can you be in Exeter and Cheltenham, unless you are somehow stalking me through the ages? (I used to live in Exeter).

I went to Exeter once. There was a travelodge.

'Cos I spend what seems like half my life scuttling up & down the M5. Although not normally as far north as Cheltenham. But, that Tuesday night buffet at the Everest is exerting a powerful draw right now.

In a couple of months, when the weather is warmer and I'm enjoying a lunchtime beer overlooking the beach in Teignmouth, I'll recall your sympathetic words.

I live in a Multicultural Hive of Villainry.
I can watch people getting stabbed as I drink my warm lager in the Gutter.

Aaaaaanyhow, I was just flipping through an educational musical instrument suppliers catalogue (I can slyly order things through work sometimes at quite a discount) and can report that they are selling them at far less than I can buy them here, even before applying VAT. I'm half tempted myself...

Suddenly I'm tempted to get one and do lefty flip.

Are you sure it's not just the one bass they have?

Says available in black or red on the webpage. This could, however, be the lazy cut-and-pasting I've come to so love on guitar shop webpages.

So it does, I'm a muppet.
I've been looking at getting a bass recently, but I think I'm more inclined to lay in wait for a second hand Classic Vibe Precision, which is resplendent in Sonic Blue:
The colour being the one thing
Guitarist (because they don't understand pastel shades. GRR Sunburst, GRUNT BLACK!) moaned about when reviewing it.
But if I buy a bass that means I can't buy the Blackstar HT-5 I was so impressed by. I should buy neither to be frank.

i cannot wait until summer (or maybe easter if i do some work) so i can buy that blackstar.

This shop is the one that had the goatse Jaguar Mike enquired about and refused to budge on the price. I think it's off their site now but I bet they didn't sell it at the price it said on the ticket.

Erugh. Fuck those guys trying to sell an abortion with reissue pickups for a grand.
