i was in Jim's  Dr. Marshall's  factory having my latest ebay aquisition repaired last wednesday, a JCM 600 valve head - they couldn't fix it there and then but posted it back to me free of charge on Friday - £48 for a new printed circuit board and now working perfectly - how's that for service!  i had a drool at the priceless amps in the museum, including the first (well second) Marshall amp ever made, and an original Bluesbreaker Cry  , his first music shop in 1962 was down the road from me in Hanwell high street, and had some very distinguished clientele Wink  his son and daughter now actively run the company.
 
Jim Marshall was originally a drum tutor, have a look at this...
 
 
the only thing about being given the freedom of Milton Keynes is...the freedom to do... what?Confused

Good morning, young man - all pretty much tickety boo, ta very much. I think everyone's been making the most of spring, as The Shed's been remarkably quiet of late.

I take it the Cheltenham week was busy busy busy for the railway...?
 
Not bad, I drove on Gold Cup Day.  Ticket sales are good thus far, weak pound against euro and dollar I guess.

Milton Keynes doesn't have any laybys... it's all roundabouts.

Not only that, they all look the same!

I once went to Milton Keynes and had to go to Woughton Park... could I find the place?  Eventually, yes but it took me quite a while!

I think I also got lost in Stoke Mandeville village as well.  That place is like Portmeirion, only in a car and without a big bubble chasing you.

Cripes. Has the shed key been lost or is everyone battening down the hatches with all this wind about?

Curried beans - Theakstons Old Peculier - Jim Garten... yes, I suppose there has been a certain amount of wind about...

+++sigh+++

Y'know, Chris, as soon as I saw Rob's post mentioning wind, I just knew someone would make such a comment - and it would probably be the kind of person who sends a pair of knockers to a social networking site:

Personally, I'd do nothing so childish.

I certainly hope so - we just need a final decision on the meeting place (Coal Hole?) and where we're going for nosebag afterwards.

At least we know the Coal Hole's reliable & there are plenty of local nose baggeries available

Yes, the Coal Hole is probably the best option - and if all else fails they have bags of noses behind the bar.

It looks like as the sheddies get older we need our beauty sleep and are tucked up in our beds long before 11.00. It's OK for you young 'uns to be up at these hours, you have the energy. Anyway - hope there were some biccies left.

Bad show, Neil - you will be missed (I though this time you may actually meet a few more Sheddites); we'll have a memorial poppadum in your honour
