Plank

Welcome back to Musicians Corner with Plank. (1/2) Today we will be looking at a common problem for musicians, Gurning. As the musician gets absorbed within the music they can often pull strange faces. This depends upon the style of music being played, and can often help with the 'feel' of the piece being played. Notice how Anabel is concentrating intently on the piece she is playing and is oblivious to her facial contortions. I have included a guide to the most common Gurns seen, this guide is specifically for guitarists, but it can be used for any instrument.

This girl is turning into a star! There was a little dance party over at B1 earlier today (part 1) with Gina, the Twins & Stella. I think this is known as a wardrobe malfunction?

Just for information. Slight problem there, anyone who is a member of RLC that captures any picture or video of their site, & post's it on this forum or anywhere else,is likely to be found and banned. Notice the identifier number in the bottom left of any room. Also there are a series of 'watermark' dots that appear on the screen. RLC can, and do,use these to identify the member responsible and ban them.

Many thanks my friend,that has cleared up several issues for me. It also explains why I have had some very strange looks from my Spanish friends. I now feel sufficiently informed & confident to return to Spain on holiday,unless the £ falls any further against the €. By the way, I voted Remain ! In regard to mocking British Plumbing,there are two key issues. Why do Plumbers never turn up when they say they will, and why do they charge you double what they quoted? Muchas gracias mi amigo, que ha aclarado varios temas para mí. También explica por qué he tenido algunas miradas muy extrañas de mis amigos españoles. Ahora me siento suficientemente informado y confidente para volver a España en vacaciones, a menos que el £ cae más lejos contra el €. Por cierto, he votado ¡Permanezca! En cuanto a burlarse de British Plumbing, hay dos cuestiones clave. ¿Por qué los fontaneros nunca aparecen cuando dicen que lo harán, y por qué te cobran el doble de lo que citaron?

I think your prayers were answered. Have a look at this, (Linked Content No Longer Available) Looks like @PeterGrey,deserves a 'spotter's' badge!

I've been doing it wrong, I thought they were for washing my boots!?!?

Business is business,these are fiscally challenging times and this is a prime piece of real estate. Looks like they got the message then?

What a difference a few days can make.

I didn't expect any musical appreciation from you sir. You are from the land of the 'Screaming Octopus' or Bagpipes as they are commonly known.

Welcome back to Musicians Corner with Plank, part two. I can barely contain my excitement, we have a more-some going on here! A Quintet! We are all hoping for a Sex-tet.

Welcome back to Musicians Corner with Plank. Today we have a different type of Foursome than others we have seen. The classic Quartet.

What started out as Yoga session turned into some acrobatic skills showing off both of their core strength. One thing led to another.

Careful, they are probably hacking your computer right now......allegedly.

I love Kami as well, but she never returns my calls!

@dougiestyle4u, no problem,'woody' & 'plank' in the same sentence, made me laugh.....anyway! I must admit I was sorry to see Carla go from this apartment, but Desiree is a fantastic replacement. And like Carla, some days she can look rough as boots, but when she makes an effort,stunning! Maybe I have got an underlying issue for curvy Hispanic girls with big boobs. I must phone my psychiatrist!

Welcome back to Musicians Corner with Plank. Today we have a study Frustration.As every musician knows, practice makes perfect. However there are those days when nothing goes right. We can see Anabel is going through a complex piece involving unison & chords,not only are the fingers making shapes but the bow technique has to be precise. But there are those moments when frustration can sometimes overwhelm a player. Leading to the great urge to 'smash up' the instrument, or the 'Townsend syndrome' as I call it. (see British Rock; The Who). Of course this would be foolish as your instrument is precious and loved, and in some cases, ridiculously expensive! The only solution is to offer a prayer to St. Cecilia and ask her why she has deserted you in your time of need?

There has been something wrong over the last few days between Mash & Sash, an atmosphere. But Sasha has been in a bad mood since Saturday afternoon? I have no idea why, I will speculate like others do without any form of proof whatsoever! He was mis-sold PPI, he is being bothered by persistent Telesales/marketing people. He doesn't like Masha's hair colour, she threw out his favourite T-shirt? All of that is bollocks of course! Maybe he is sick of Pash & Tash being at their place,it does tend to cramp your style when others are living in your house. This afternoon Pash & Tash were in the living room, Masha came in looking miserable and helped herself to a large glass of what looked like Irish Cream & Ice. Tash gestured to Pash,'is she ok?, have a word with her' Pasha gestured to him 'no leave it'. Masha took herself to the bedroom to drink alone. 15 minutes later Sasha & a friend arrive and Masha is given gifts,there are flowers on the breakfast bar and there are kisses all round.Everybody happy. Is it Masha's birthday? Is it International Hair Colour Day? Was she pissed off because she thought everyone had forgot? I honestly don't know, I'm speculating not viewing it as fact.. Update, an hour later. Masha busy in the kitchen,clearly frustrated,trying to put a brave face on it all, but can not disguise her sad eyes. Tasha out, Pasha & friend chatting, but aware that there is an elephant in the room.

Look-a-likes, you decide?

Greetings from the Mother Country to our friends in the colonies. Huzzahh! Would you like us to send you some supplies or a Red Cross Parcel, over. Glad to hear that you are o.k., over. We are all thinking of you at this difficult time,over. Sends Hugs.....over.

Sounds like an average night in any pub in the UK !

And now an artistic study in Voyeurism, entitled 'The Glass of Milk'. (Image Content No Longer Available)

Thousands of gay men pardoned for past convictions Thousands of gay and bisexual men found guilty of decades-old sexual offences in England and Wales have been posthumously pardoned. The enactment by the government of the so-called Alan Turing law means about 49,000 men will be cleared of crimes of which they would be innocent today. Wartime code-breaker Mr Turing was pardoned in 2013 for gross indecency. Statutory pardons will also be granted to people still living who apply to have their convictions removed. The pardons were first announced last year and have now been officially rubber-stamped after the Policing and Crime Bill received Royal Assent. The men were found guilty of committing now-abolished offences while in consensual relationships. Courtesy of BBC News.

And I quote from my post earlier on this subject. I shall give you my opinion but start again by stating what I said in a previous post on this subject, because if I don't some folk will get their knickers in a knot! I rest my case m'laud. Anyone on this forum that 'knows' me, knows that I am here for light entertainment, a laugh & a joke,a song & a smile. I try to get on with everyone, I try be light & humourous, because life is too short. Very rarely I go off on a rant, but not that often. I have fallen out with a few on here,but not many, if I am out of line I will recognise it & give a sincere apology. My posts are my point of view, my opinion & I do not have any agenda's. I did not refer to anyone by name in my post,it was a general observation of the subject. At RLCF, we tend to be a community that can accept one another's points of view, agree to disagree, done with good grace. We do not resort to personal attacks in the Forums or the Chatbox. If there is an issue with another member that you wish to resolve we are encouraged to take it to PM's & keep such stuff away from the Forum & Chatbox But seeing as Donzi decided to open this can of worms, I have the right to respond. @Donzi So your opinions are right & everyone else is wrong. This speaks volumes. There is a subtle difference between my points of view & yours. My hyperbole,as you called it,are my own opinions & viewpoints etc. I felt it was well thought out and was reasonably crafted & very much 'tounge in cheek' as a lot of my stuff tends to be. However,even though your post was longer than my hyperbole, it required you to justify your points of view, or to shore them up, by Copy & Pasting quotes from like minded people who are on the same page as you,from CC, and that is ok is it? That is what political organisations and sections of the media do, it's called 'spin'. Thank you for the offer of 'your timeline' of events,but no thanks. Do not bother responding to this post,this subject is 'sooo last week darlingk' And really not worthy of my time. End of.
