    A lot of my stash lives under my bed in boxes and it's just not the same lying on the floor on your belly to marvel at it :rotfl::rotfl:

    I dream of the day when I have a house where I can have shelves and lots of space for more stuff! :D

    :wave:

    You find any bargains this weekend? I posted details of a few things local to me ;)

    No unfortunately I didn't. I ended up only being there on Wednesday night, so by the time I arrived and got myself sorted I didn't have time to really tour like I had planned. Only made it as far as A's at the Forge, did womble a couple of receipts though :D

    Ended up back at my parents after Mrs Browns Boys on Thursday to get the brake pipes on my car replaced. Not quite what I had in mind, but I'll be back down soonish hopefully.

    Well if there is, I want this one to be true

    Biffy Clyro have finally revealed the origin of their band name.

    The Scottish trio had previously refused to explain the reasoning behind their moniker, but frontman Simon Neil has now let slip that it was intended as a surreptitious nod to Cliff Richard.

    "There's a famous British musician called Cliff Richard," Neil told Spin. "And when me and [drummer] Ben [Johnston] were 13 and bored in our little Scottish town of Ayr, we'd think up imaginary Cliff Richard merch products.

    "We thought of things like Cliff Richard coat hangers and Cliff Richard Jesus dolls - he's a big Christian singer. In the UK there's a cheap kind of pen called a Biro pen and we thought about making Cliff Richard Biro pens.

    "We'd call them Cliffy Biros. Somehow that turned into Biffy Clyro. Bizarrely, we weren't high at the time. There's just not a lot to do in Ayr. The weather is terrible."

    I'm not touring many Ts or As these days. Limiting my shopping to stores close to home and work. That being said let me know next time you're down and I'll let you know if i've seen anything :beer:

    Hi FC it's really hard to to give away, I know exactly what you mean. :rotfl:
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.
