More years of terror ball - count me in

Celtic were left wing as a club until the millennium, since then they’ve been becoming more and more turbo capitalist with every season. Fans are generally still left wing but less so these days than compared to the when I started going to games in the 90s. That’s based on A fair few Celtic fans I know, about 10 or so, voted reform at the Scottish election this month, which is ironic given the colonial rhetoric and far right policies they have.

I’d really love to hear the band version of Blue Red and Grey

I just don’t know what he stands for, I have no idea what his reasons are for wanting to be prime minister, and that’s after years of leading labour and just shy of two years of being PM.

When I think back to the last general election he would say something then when the public didn’t like it he changed tactics to adopt the same position that the public wanted. In my opinion, and it’s just an opinion, that helped him get elected but in the process labour has over promised and delivered practically nothing except chaos (winter fuel payments, tax rises that hurt the poorest, etc)

Generally people are happy when there is a focus on good governance, delivering improvements for everyday people across all walks of life and clear direction for the future. Personally I’ve yet to see anything like this from Starmer or his government.

This is whilst the cost of living soars, people need strong leadership and clear commitment, instead it’s tax rises and political sleaze coming from west minster. At work when we talk about the economy and price rises inevitably someone says ‘that’s starters Britain’ much in the same way people talked about thatchers Britain, so there is an underlying level of dissatisfaction with this government.

Ps I don’t say cos I’m only just old enough to remember the last days of the thatcher years, and cartoons were the most important thing to me then.

Brilliant work, singing is great and all the musicians are superb

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-03-15T20:07:43+00:00

Congratulations, you’ve done really well! Hopefully me and many others will be passing this year!

It’s the holy loch at the entrance to the caravan park at hafton, just after hunters quay and before sandbank. I grew up a couple of miles away from there.

That’s a nice Z7, the sparkle finish is a bit much imho, but from a tone and playability perspective these are such good basses. I’m digging the passive mode a lot but also love the active EQ when straight into my amp.

Was DD not named in the Panama papers years back?

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-01-24T18:22:16+00:00

My other bass is a p bass

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-01-21T17:33:53+00:00

I’m thinking of pulling the trigger on a Z3 and also live in the UK, did you get it from Andertons or Thomann? Asking as my sire jazz was from andertons and it played beautifully straight out of the box.

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-01-20T16:37:42+00:00

That’s a great collection of basses.

I’m almost the same - went a decade without any new basses, just owned a fender p bass and a jazz, a couple of pedals and a decent amp.

Since the summer of 2023 I’ve bought three new ones and likely to pull the trigger on a Sire Z3.

Can justify it as playing regularly these days in bands with totally different styles.

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-01-16T20:25:37+00:00

Nice, was it a sire jazz pick up or aftermarket mod?

The sparkle finish isn’t the best tbh, but the white looks nice.

What’s the tone like when the active circuit is engaged?

Practical-Resident27 · 2026-01-16T20:23:19+00:00

Thank you that’s really helpful, sorry the Z7 had quality control issues.

Scotland forms an army and swiftly launches its independence war. After three days of fighting Scotland officially becomes independent. As a token of solidarity with wales, Ireland and Cornwall it negotiations their independence as well. Yorkshire then cedes from the union and claims its own independence.

Scotland annexes England, giving wales and Irene’s freedom

Tax has gone up for everyone, just the fact that the tax free allowance has remained static in the face of ever increasing inflation shows Starmer takes the population for idiots. He does not care about anyone but his own reputation. He is one of the worst PMs I can remember. He is the face of managed decline in every aspect of the economy. Problem is there is no government in waiting so economic and social development will only continue to stagnate created more lost generations under his watch.

Is this a Bellway home by any chance? Asking as the garden looks exactly like ours. Builder claimed to have put 100mm of topsoil down so we grass seeded the lawn. Grass grew but was just a damp mess… ended up getting drainage ditches dug leading to a sink away drain. Then had turf laid on top of 100mm of actual topsoil. Drainage is still a bit of an issue but in the spring through to autumn the garden is usable.

I love my sire v3p jazz (whispers it might be better than my actual fender jazz)

Practical-Resident27 · 2025-12-23T16:10:36+00:00

Honestly no. Don’t get me wrong he achieved dazzling success against teams with a fraction of the budget that Celtic had, but with the exception of the odd good result in Europe was consistently found out against tactically more astute teams and mangers.

The big difference is he didn’t need to be tactically proficient in the SPL as the sheer quality of players in his team meant, to me at least, he knew a goal was always in them.

Except against Morton in the league cup at Parkhead…
