Nice one Smelly!

That's just reminded me, I wonder if our hopepipe ban has finished yet for this year?

 

[Smellybum]

The local firecrew pumped 500 gallons out of the local shop and then stopped because they weren't making an impact..... plenty of spare H20 here for ya mate!

I'm sending some to Johny Dubai to remind him of home,

And Robdelinda, I feel your pain man, I'm sorry I got up before you that morning, but you'll get an AL soon.. I know it.

I'm suprised you haven't gone for this one ?

I'm in the bad books with mrs Smellybum 'cause I'm sittin' on my ass playin' my AL instead of fixing it all!

dude...tell the misses to call the insurance guy, make the claim and hire it done...then you can spend more time with AL!

Geez Smelly, glad everything survived. I'd seen on the news it was bad up your way.

While I was in Houston, Texas the other week a few folks drowned in their cars during severe rain flooding. The office I was working in told everyone to go home as the surrounding area was prone to flooding and it could get difficult to get home. I was out of there in a shot!

The rest of my stay there was great weather, then I got home to Scotland just in time for the rain here.

Hope you get everything tidied up real soon.

Oh, and that's a nice looking AL

message to self ..."self make sure you get an AL"

[Spudmurphy]

nice job

with your bit a scotish humor I like it

 

[GuitarHack]

Smelly, your guitar is freakin' beautiful! I have an AL on order, Blue Pearl w/ white pearloid pickguard, natty headstock, hardtail....so, what is the actual color of your AL? Is it Blue Pearl?

PLEASE, PLEASE, SAY BLUE PEARL, COME ON, SAY BLUE PEARL, PLEASE, SAY IT...

I want mine to look exactly like yours!

 

[GuitarHack]

The strap buttons look black...did they come that way?

Yes, I'm staring at your pics.

 

[Smellybum]

Guitarhack....

from the Serial thread "Smellybum, your new Albert Lee's production date was 5/18/04. We show it as a Blue Pearl finish with a white pearloid 'guard.

Right - O,

Dan"


and I dunno what type they are never seen 'em befor they're sort of black metal/gray type - will swap for chrome when I get to the city (trees still down!)

Thanks again folks.

 

[GuitarHack]

Yee-ha, Blue Pearl!

Thanks, Smelly, and congrats again. Good luck getting the flooding sorted out as well.
