RE: akbum covers
you dorty old man!!!!!... cradle snatchin eh!... tsk!
Miele eh.... jesus man, they are so quiet!!... in London, Miele is the brand of choice for the Kensington & Chelsea set... it goes with the 'chelsea tractor' 4X4.... Funny enuff me mum got a Miele recently and i was taking the piss out of her a bit until I tried it... she always had the same crappy old knackered vacuum cleaner for years and decided to splash out... It's called something like the Miele 'dog & cat hair' model, designed specialy for pet hair... anyways, it nearly sucked the fukkin carpet into the tube when I switched it on, lol... dead quiet man, a whisper.
yeah, us gearsluts just cant help it.... the gearslut bug does sadly tend to translate to home appliances... lol... especialy if you spent the early years spending every penny on studio gear and living with pots & pans with no handles and no furniture except a futon etc.. lol
I had a set of pots with no handles until last week (which was preceded by several other sets opf pans over the years... all with no handles)... i always wanted some decent cooking pots, and happened to be in the local general store picking up some camcorder tapes from the electrical floor when i spied a special offer while passing thru the kitchenware dept... so i went out last week and bought a set of ANALON pans (as used by Raymond LeBlanc in his cookery school apparently)... 120 quid for 5!!!.... I had to jump at it cos the 5 LTR boiling pot included in the set costs 65 quid alone!... anyways, they are guaranteed for life so i should still have handles in 10 years time, lol.. frying an egg now is whole new experience, lol
heh... It's kinda cool getting new household gear.... you can apply the same loving gearlust to these items as to your latest synth, mic or pre-amp, lol.... especialy if you've been a gearslut for years andstudio kit doesnt quite have the holygrail factor it once did when you started out

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!
