Quote from: "Steven"I'm not sure I qualify as an 'ageing biscuit muncher', Neil. I'm only 20! ;)

I'd like all forum members new, old and young to accept my unreserved apology for calling you, or referring to you as "Ageing biscuit munchers" I am deeply sorry for my actions and feel terrible now. I will now pack my bags and leave, I'm not sure where I'll go, but I'll be okay, it's all I deserve  :cry:

****** <sPeCiaL DisClAimER> ********** Any person, younger than the the society accepted age to be referred to as aged , who wishes to try and file a claim for age discrimination against me is reminded that time does not stand still and by nature as such, everyone is in fact ageing  :lol:
Hello, is there anybody in there?............

I am an ageing (aged ) biscuit muncher, having been referred to Dr Brodies older persons clinic, so offence taken  :D
I used to have a signature

Quote from: "Nellie"I was thinking about how the average age of this forum is reducing dramatically. There are a lot of under 25s on here.Welcome Steve(n) :D

Well, I've been a fan since I was at least 17, so there must be some Frost*ies out there who are still teens. :)


Quote from: "Neilgwhite"...time does not stand still ...everyone is in fact ageing  :lol:

As a theoretical physics student, I can't deny the wisdom in that. I must have glossed over the subtlety of your statements in my youthful exhuberance. ;)

And thanks for the welcome, everyone. This is a friendly place. :)


I'd also like to introduce you to my guitars: //http://www.steventhomson.co.uk/index.php?p=gear. Everyone, meet Rebecca (the PGM), Cat (the RG550), Dia (the Strat copy, who has undergone dramatic changes since that pic), and Jane (the 5-string bass). I also have another old guitar lying in pieces in a cupboard that I got given for nothing, and eventually I'll get around to fixing that up too. 'Dia', by the way, is a shortened, affectionate way of saying 'The Diabolical Stratocaster', but since her facelift, I love her as much as the others, so she's now just called 'Dia'.


That website hasn't been updated in over a year, so it's all very out of date. The music, in particular, is all very old stuff, and mostly quite rough around the edges. I should put some newer stuff up one day (I've learned a lot since those tracks), I just never seem to have the time to finish anything properly. I write scraps of lyrics, or the odd chorus or verse, but I've never got the time to put them all together. Shame. :( Still, I still really like See You In Another Life: if anyone fancies killing 5 mins, section 3 'Above The Sky' is one of the better clips on the website. Hint hint. ;)

Danke für die Begrüßung!

I admit, I used Google translate for that...is it correct? I'm really quite ashamed that I only speak one language. Although if our current census is anything to go by, apparently I speak 'Scots' as well as 'English', so maybe I am technically bilingual. ;)

At least it's better than the alternative - "Bolical".

And a PGM. I really like Paul Gilbert, and his signature guitars are wicked.

And I'm a drummer (although that doesn't stop me buying other gear too................)

Yeah, the PGM is a great guitar. I don't know if it still works, but my image used to be one of the first Google Image results for PGM301, and I used to get a lot of people stealing my bandwidth. I think quite a few of mine still pop up on Google Image in the first page or two, which is a bit of a pain. Both the Ibanez guitars really need a decent setup, actually, which is why I've only got the Strat at uni with me at the moment. But the PGM is great fun. It's stripped back, simple, relatively cheap (<£700 when I got it), and it sounds great. Lovely neck on it too, a little thicker than the normal Ibanez Wizard necks.

There aren't any pics of the Strat as it now stands on the website, but it's been stripped down, the body has been stained brown (so the grain is visible), the electronics were gutted and redone (same pickups as before though), it now has a black pickuard, I re-finished the neck too, and I put my own initials on the headstock. It was great fun, although I still want to give it a hotter bridge pickup and maybe install a killswitch. The neck could do with a rub down with steel wool to make it a little smoother, too, but I'm nitpicking, it's actually a really nice instrument now.

A belated welcome to the forum, Steven.  :)
