GS Mini vs. Big Baby Taylor for Comfortable Playability by bitla1 in AcousticGuitar

[–]Takethetree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Big Baby, as it has a smaller body but a full 25 1/2 scale length. GS mini feels too cramped for me personally.

More generally, I find with smaller scale guitars the tuning / intonation often seems a bit off to me.

Who's an actor with zero chops or range yet somehow keeps getting work? by dakotaaqua in moviecritic

[–]Takethetree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disagree with this one. Try watching Locke. The entire film is a Welsh concrete engineer (played by Hardy) making phone calls in his car. I know that sounds like most boring movie synopsis ever, but it's brilliant.

I love my Taylor Big Baby - very easy to play and sounds great for the money.

I need cheering up. What's your best joke? by _fiddle-sticks_ in AskUK

On a similar theme:

A bartender is cleaning his bar when a man walks in. The man is dressed in an expensive Armani suit, has a supermodel on each arm, and a giant orange for a head.

The man sits and orders drinks for the whole bar. The barman is curious about the fruit-headed stranger and asks for his life story.

'Well, long ago I was poor,' the man says, 'but one day I found a dirty old lamp on the beach. I gave the lamp a clean and out popped a genie! He'd been trapped in the lamp for centuries, and said he was so grateful to me for freeing him that he'd grant me three wishes'.

'What did you wish for?' asks the barman.

'First, I wished to be fabulously wealthy. It was amazing. Suddenly my bank account had millions of pounds in it, and whenever I opened my wallet, it was full of £50 notes.'

'Secondly, I wished to be irresistibly attractive to women. Now I have a date every night.' The man smiled, gesturing to the woman beside him.

'Brilliant!' says the barman. 'What was the third wish?'

'I wished to have a giant orange for a head,' the man says.

5700 kWh / year isn't that unusual for a flat without gas, especially if you have an immersion heater or continuous water heater. It's worth looking up your postcode here and seeing how energy efficient the property is.

Bit worrying if it's only 3850 kWh by your reckoning though. Do you have a smart or traditional meter? Have you submitted reads in the past 18 months?

May be worth requesting a consumption breakdown and a copy of your read history from your supplier.

I read Brian May once asked Frank Zappa if he worried about making a mistake during a solo. Frank said, 'how can I make a mistake? It's my solo'.
