Many congratulations Chris on your wee team getting to the qualification stages of the Champions League. Now you will be praying that Barca take care of the Gunners to ensure you only have one qualifying round and not two. JTB

Aye....but in Scotland laddie....... .......and no it's not me! JTB

Just bought the new Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris CD entitled 'All The Roadrunning' and if you've been a fan of Knopfler's guitar playing down the years, as I have, then you will thoroughly enjoy this. He seems to have gone back to his old tried and tested sound which compliments Harris's voice to a tee. The album floats from a bit of rock to country rock to pure country and one or two superb ballads thrown in to give it a bit of balance. Sultans of Swing it ain't but I defy you not to like it. JTB

Does E-Gold allow credit card registration and transactions and work in the UK? JTB

Very very nice Puggy. Some "industry standards" there but no Pannies yet? Steps back in amazement! JTB

As one of my old girlfriends used to say "You can't beat a [censored]-or-too" JTB

I see too much of this... I would get fit by doing this... then this... moving on to some of this... closely followed by this... and this... and hopefully... ....we would finally then move on to some...... (sorry at work - no emoticon for what I was thinking about). JTB

There are two main sources of electrical hum and buzz in electric guitar systems, and both enter through the pickups and electronics. The sources are AC electrostatic fields and alternating electromagnetic fields radiated from electric wires, lighting dimmers, fluorescent light ballasts, power transformers in amplifiers et cetera. Pickup coils and unshielded wiring in guitars act as very effective antennae that capture these radiated fields and pass the unwanted hum on along with the guitar signal. Historically Fender's Standard Single Coils can be quite noisy and if you are using pc recording software there will likely be reactive IF between the guitar pick-ups, your amp and your pc monitor as, especially if you are working in a small environment e.g bedroom (and more especially if it has light-dimming switches!). Fender do still produce a Vintage Noiseless pick-up which will reduce the horrible buzz significantly. I'm not sure changing the pick-up selector will do much, unless it's faulty of course. One little tip that I have used is to line the pick-up cavities and jack socket chamber with silver foil (making sure of course that there is no contact with cables) which does help reduce IF. Other than this, make sure all your contacts are sound and clean. Hope this helps JTB

Our eejits never made it so I'll settle down in front of the telly and shout for England. JTB

Maybe the ones that they export to Ireland have? JTB

Thanks Rico - you are too kind (BTW - Did we agree 5% or 10%? ) This of course was another thing Chris missed out on in our GTG! JTB
