Oh I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady.....(Jimi Hendrix/Billy Roberts)

Hendrix was the Man!!!!! Got the original cut on 45 rpm by the Leaves.

Wow Rick, that’s a bit of a rarity, which version? According to my rare records guide they released it twice….Mira 207 was the 1965 early one and Mira 222 was the 1966 version released with two alternate B sides…..Girl from the east and Funny little world…..

Hi Tim, I will have to dig it out of storage to give you an answer to that one. I actually haven't played it since the 60's I do recall it had a very fast beat and much preferred the Hendrix version of Hey Joe.

Figures are looking good John, they are a work in progress at the moment, you'll get them sorted.

Naw.........I'm not ungrateful, just don't want yer kooties, that's all!


P.S. kooties= slang: bugs, lice, vermin etc.

:anguishedamn thought they had gone after the sheep dip Matron made me sit in

Coming on nicely John. I'm sure they'll turn out fine in the end!

We are our own worst critics!

Thank you Andrew, hopefully you'll think these are a lot better.

John, the build is coming along nicely.. although I think I’ve gotten a bit distracted with all of the woodchucking and now I think I’ve gotten cooties from touching the wife… all I know is that the saw looks awesome and the building is a masterpiece up to your fantastic level of standards

Joe, thank you and keep well away from some members of the colonies.

Fantastic track, I have an early recording of Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Mayfield recorded in a New York club long before he became famous. One of my fav recordings.

Thanks Graeme, looking too close I think as well .

Dear Mr. Race. (Member no. 453)

I am Chairman and founder member of the 'Saw Sharpening and Setting Association' (S.A.S.A.S.A.)

I refer you to your recently published photograph of a 'Pull me, pull me saw' resting on what look like octopus tentacles.
If you wish to show images like that again, please ensure the saw shows at least some effort by the operative to set the teeth of the implement before use.

This total disregard to the skill required to sharpen and set a saw does nothing but harm to our cause.

Please refrain from any further infringement of our Code of Honour.

Yours.
May Kit Nobynde

Secretary.

Sirs , may I bring to your attention that the said saw has recently been to Doctor Hook the most eminent Saw Doctor , it is now in fine condition.
Yours 453 Stalingrad building company .

Hi John
Well done with the figures. Most of us are ok with one or two but you have really gone to town.
One of the very deprived schools I taught in was rife with head lice/cooties. They went through the school like grass through a goose. In those days a nurse came around to check the children. She was known by one and all as "Nitty Nora the Head Explorer"

Thanks Andrew, the right hand eye ( facing ) seems to be the easier, when I go to the other I seem to miss .Hopefully I'll get the hang of filling in , but enjoying it .

Thanks Jim, seems better when you have a lot to do as more to practice on :smiling3:
I can remember the Nit Nurse going to our daughter's school in the late 70's don't suppose it would be politically correct today

[spanner570]

Figures looking excellent 453.

When I was a winky, I remember being actually practiced on by the real 'Nit Nurse'!
She scraped my hair over a copy of the Daily Mirror.

Then my mum had to take over until I was rid of the things. Very common around the mid. '50's / '60's.

Sorry for the slight hijack....

John, if you are having trouble with the left eye, try turning the figure upside down. That way the left eye becomes the right. An old trick but it my help you

I’ve tried that myself John, but for some reason it doesn’t really work for me. I always do the hard one first then do the easy one to match it….not that either of them are really easy
