Like that one craigy lol. It is a musical instrument-no sniggering at the back its a ...................................................................










ukulele!!!!

I already play guitar and I have always fanicied one as being a bit more out there and cute-plus miles easier to carry around. Being smaller I hope I can get it out and practice more-plus its suppose to be easier to learn that the guitar. Already got about 5 chords memorised and managed twinkle twinkle and Jingle bells for the kids. So when the SHTF and we are all sat around the campfire I'm there lol.

And yes before anyone asks I DO like George Formby .

GQ is that the site you linked to that fiction story about how the USA could dissapear? If so I will take another look at the rest of the site.

How odd as well, whilst on here I flicked backwards and forwards between here and videos on swagbucks - just saw one where they were using zombie attacks to sell toughened safety glass rofl.

Shall I give you all a laugh, got an early crissie pressie from OH, something I have wanted for a while and a bit odd, but as it was very cheap he got it for me today. Its not very prepperish, except that it can be used for entertainment for a group and does not require any electric. Its mostly made of wood.

Any guesses, before I post?

I was thinking guitar before I read a bit further and saw it was a uke. Great fun to play, I'm told. I've heard rave reviews of something called The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain who perform shows and other uke players can bring their instruments along and even join in at times.

Yeah, it's the same blog. The 5-part fiction ending 31/10/12 is the anomaly on a factual blog. The archives are fascinating. It was actually an MSE-er who pointed me towards that blog more than a year ago and I read it every week.

Noo, loved the lightbulb joke. I know one taught to me by a fellow-traveller and professional singer;

Q. How many mezzo-sopranos does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. One to do it and five to stand around complaining it's too high.:rotfl:

boult, deffo need that engineering expertise in Midden Corp. We're gonna have to harvest that methane for both fuel and safety reasons, as we don't want any explosions in the tunnels. We want to make sure our landfill purchases include sites with lots of old appliances like fridges and George Forman grills. And washing machine drums.

:eek: I heard that there have been Big Macs recovered from the Fresh Kills mega-landfill in NY in strata of newspapers which reveal them to be at least 20 years old and they haven't decayed.

That scares the stuffing outta me, I can tell you. Never mind the flipping zombies, immortal junk food is plain scary.

BTW, one of my colleagues assures me that you can make superb outdoor cookers from re-purposed stainless steel washing machine drums. Just thought you might need to know that one day.

Hokay, am about to sample one (one half, actually) of one of Mr Bentos' famous tinned pies. Scary, but as someone who survived 1970s school dinners, very little daunts me.

Cover me, peeps, I'm going in..................

It came from Lidl and was only £14.99 so a bargain and it seems pretty good for the price, they also had these packs of instruments that are the types you get at schools, tamborines, triangles, mini xzelophone, shakers, marracas (spelling is rubbish) all proper wood and metal for £7.99 a pack-about 5 items in each, so perfect for the kids to bang along with at crimbo.

I was good at the guitar when younger, but with 4 kids am right out of practice, and its so big it tends to sit at the back of the cupboard. I am hoping this being smaller and easier to pick up and use will get more use.

I suppose my family is musical or at least we enjoy music. My sister is a music teacher and has been a singing coach and played percussion in a fairly well known orchestra-big kettle drums and all that. We all grew up doing piano etc. So out of practice now, but at one point I played guitar, piano, tenner, descant and treble recorders, drums and a bit of bass.

Most Christmases we end up around the piano together lol, at one point a few years ago the neighbours came around to my mums and we ended up with a violin, 2 guitars, a piano and lots of noise with about 12 of us singing, we all sing but some are in tune, some not, all are welcome. You just need to enjoy it and make noise. My sister is good and i really can't keep up with her, but we all enjoy ourselves and don't worry too much. We all have a giggle at Dad's piano playing as he loves jazz and seems to add a weird jazzy rhythm to everything he plays and he jigs around like he is little Richard-even in his 70's lol.

I like the psychologist version

How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? - none; but the light bulb has to WANT to change.

I'm sure there's a how many schoolgirls does it take to buy a ...[insert mundane article of choice] ... version of this somewhere judging by how it's apparently impossible to just get the bus into town after school to pick up stuff she does actually need unless there are four or five of them going in which case it's OK but she still couldn't possibly be seen in a boring shop where they sell necessities so can you get it Mum when you're in town (because of course you don't have anything else to do)

And breathe!
