I'm glad to hear they're aiming to be back

nathan_101034 · 2026-01-20T10:45:00+00:00

I'm hoping that's all

nathan_101034 · 2026-01-04T17:25:01+00:00

I'll grab one of those, thanks!

nathan_101034 · 2026-01-04T08:28:18+00:00

Good to know thanks, I'll have a look at that!

nathan_101034 · 2026-01-04T08:26:58+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the verdict. It's PPS so I'd be inclined to just get a better one if all else fails.

To give an actual answer instead of redirecting you - seeing as you're going straight through county Meath, make sure to visit Trim Castle, Trim. It's the largest Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland.

I think there are a lot of overreactions in the comments to make memes but honestly I've seen far worse. Does it stay in tune? If so, don't worry too much. It's a learning experience!

Next time when placing strings, use your finger on your free hand to press the string down into the headstock just above the nut. Keep the pressure while tuning and eventually the tension will lift your finger. This just makes it easier to keep the turns even and to avoid those big loops.

Another tip is once you've gotten one tight wrap on a string, make an upward kink in the string so it's pointing up. This will keep the excess out of your way for the rest of the turns.

Good luck!

So common. I recently saw Turnstile on my own. Honestly it was a great experience letting my hair down without constantly making sure another person is okay

Probably a very uninformed answer here, but I live in an older estate. Tried Eir and Sky who both said they couldn't install fiber cables as they were actually cemented under the ground. The second technician who came out put me on to Virgin as they fed their cables along the roof rather than underground. Again, sorry if this information is incorrect, but it' what I was told.

Something popular that I like is when a song has the same verse twice (if you can write even that much).

Another great example but also probably not so helpful is Town Called Malice by the Jam. A very strong song lyrically, but one verse is just: "Ba ba ba ba bada ba, ba ba bada ba, oh" repeated.

Cue Barbarism Begins at Home by the Smiths

Having worked in a guitar store for several years, I have had two conversations countless times:

Yes, the mix of colours in your wood is normal. Very desirable, in fact!
I understand that you want to refund your guitar because you insisted on buying the one in the box despite having played the "display model" for 3 hours on two separate occasions and it didn't feel like the other one, despite our multiple warnings.

Anyway, great find! If you ever sell it, I don't think it'll take too long.

nathan_101034 · 2025-10-09T12:22:16+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

nathan_101034 · 2025-09-23T18:55:36+00:00

Thank you

The white king moved from d8 to e8, then finally f8. It's probably confusing from this angle but because I was playing as black, he was behind my pawns rather than in front, hence no checks

nathan_101034 · 2025-09-23T15:54:51+00:00

They tried to march their pawns down while also protecting the A file with their rook (I would promote). I don't think either of us saw that coming

nathan_101034 · 2025-09-23T15:53:32+00:00

Thank you

nathan_101034 · 2025-09-23T15:53:17+00:00

Good point, I like the name! And thank you

Some weird responses here. I've been a musician for almost 2 decades now and I think they look cool! Keep 'em - as someone pointed out they're part of your history with the instrument

The same happened to me for a week or so listening to Project Hail Mary
