Re: Anyone beat this for frustrating?

After a three week heatwave in the UK the weather broke just as we waiting to go on stage-side! Talk about bad luck.

After an hours delay (due to Health and Safety, not our choice) we were eventually allowed on stage. The sun shone, the crowd came back, the RIC was fantastic ... a very ...

Anyone beat this for frustrating?

After years of yearning for a 4003 Mapleglo, the day had finally come when I was to realise my dreams. Owing to very generous financial handout from my 92 year old mother (I daren't tell her what I've spent it on) I ordered myself a brand new Mapleglo to be delivered two days before a major festival ...

Bit of an unusual one this, but I just love anything on the New Clear Days album by The Vapors, that guy really knew how to make a bass line stand out

Re: Weller and Foxton

Hi All,

This is my first post ... I'm not yet a Ricky owner, but as soon as I have enough gig money saved up there's a MapleGlo 4003 out there with my name on it!
