Brain damage from years of alcohol abuse.



Heh heh! Another 'Magic Moment' from ' Maggot Mouth' - so ****ed up and so
fekkin' *wrong* as usual.... :-)

(Headed for the Guiness Book Of Records, if you ask me....)

Hmm, I'm 57, 100% teetotal and don't do drugs other than 'normal'
ciggies -
so how do I qualify then, eh, Captain Copout??


Reformed alcoholic, but still addicted to nicotine? Seriously deranged
and dangerous!!


**Ah, so Keith WAS a drinker. That explains a great deal. The damage has
already been done.

so a SS amp can be designed to sound like a valve amp?


Difficult to find an advert for an ss amp in a UK comic that doesn't use
the word 'valvelike' at some point, these days......


I wouldn't know, as I don't read the ads. Though I do know that I will
not be buying a SS amp from a company that claims it sounds 'valve like'
...



OK, don't bother coming to, er, Pommyland, to shop for amps atm, then....


**The odd thing here is, that, to Aussies, there is Pommyland, Scotland and
Ireland. We don't label the entire UK with the term: Pommyland. We don't
think much about the Welsh (though I did live with a Welsh lass for awhile).
I guess it's all that coal mining and singing and stuff.

**Nope. There have been a few.


Name two more then....

**OK.
Sir Howard Florey - Penncillan
Professor Earl Owen - Microsurgery
Cliff Howard - Rotary Hoe



Two? :-)

OK, never heard of any of them.....


**In one way or another, it is highly likely that your life has been
touched by the innovations from these brilliant Aussies.



I'm sure it has, I just don't recognise the names.


I can accept that Howard and Owen may be obscure, but surely you've heard
of Florey?



Nope, you mention penicillin to a Pom and he'll say *Fleming*......

Apropos of nothing, it is my contention that Irish women (if you catch them
in their *fleeting* bloom) are second only to German women in the
pulchritude stakes....

Huh? Where TF does that come from? You been talking to the bull****ters
again? (You really *don't* want to believe a word they say - they'll drag
you into disrepute!)

Other than a brief period in my late teens (14 pints a night kinda thing)
I've hardly 'qualified' as a 'drinker' throughout my entire life - a lager
with a curry from time to time, the regulation 'wee dram' with Swim (a Scot)
on New Year's Eve (glass of fizz with former Swims on the same
occasion)....??

If you want to speak to the group's lush you need to connect to Pinkypoof,
but don't get too close after about 9:00pm UK time - it's his breath.....

And by his outburst about being teetotal, without qualification, hopefully
not in denial.

How soon you forget Bradman, Laver and Fraser............

We'll try to forget about Germaine Greer, but proudly remember the
most famous Australian of all time - Phar Lap!

BTW, since this is an audio newsgroup, why has no one mentioned Nellie
Melba or Joan Sutherland?
