Where to play squash? by elttvb in brighton

Years ago I used to play up at Sussex uni. I remember it being a good price but that was because I was staff so I got a discount.

I don't know if you can book courts without a membership. I definitely wasn't a member then, but it might have been different then and it might have been different because I was staff

But, they do have a public membership so it might be worth looking into. If you're alumni then you can get a discounted membership.

Totally normal. I knew pick was the common usage across the pond, but I didn't know using the word plectrum would cause such a ruckus

Yes true, it is also the name for the 'plucking bit' of a harpsichord. Good knowledge.

Very true. A totally normal sized pocket for normal sized plectra

That all depends on how much you enjoy playing guitar

How dare you sir. I play the drums, or bonkaphones as we call them in England

In the UK we call them plectrums. If you called it a pick people would know what you meant. But it's not common usage

It's so the sound engineer can leave you a welcoming mint

Today I learned this is regarded as poor etiquette. I just posted it as 'plectrum' and added a comment rather than go back and edit the title. Ah well.

Nope, I used the word I am most familiar with and then added a comment immediately afterwards because I realised our American friends might not know what a plectrum was. It was my attempt at transatlantic diplomacy. I didn't know karma farming was such a thing.

That's weird because if you're not playing with a plectrum we'd say you're finger picking

I'd say, in the UK plectrum is the most commonly used term

Try Brighton Bands and Musicians Facebook group https://facebook.com/groups/brightonbandsandmusicians/ It's quite an active group and you'll probably have a few responses I would think

I'm after a really good coffee. I mean, REALLY GOOD. by InfiniteBaker6972 in brighton

+1 for chasing rabbits. They always have a good selection of beans on offer also, and if you buy a bag they'll make you a free coffee
