All Fall Down and Dogs

Thankfully nothing was broken, and why the stand decided to collapse is beyond me coz everything is tighter than a ducks arse so it shouldna collapsed, another thing I can be thankful for is her who must be obeyed bought a border collie and he likes to wind himself through the cabling, he wasn’t anywhere near the room when it all came down. He’s a smart bloody dog and it wouldn’t surprise me to see he’s worked out how to use a shifter and loosened the mounts just to drive me nutso 😉

Moog Little Phatty Editor/Librarian Phht

Well I could IF YOU MADE THE EDITOR/LIBRARIAN FREE!!! It’s like selling a car then telling the buyer that they need the software installed in it to make the electric windows, stereo, air conditioner work and that’s gunna cost ya. My $1,300 may be a drop in a bucket to a lotta people but seeing as I bought a BRAND NEW ONE how about cutting people a break and giving the software away for free to NEW LPS2 owners.’

Well Well, The Roland Arrived

So now it finds itself in it’s new home/spot in the room along side the Moog Little Phatty Stage II, the Alesis QS6, The Korg T2EX, The Korg MS2000 and the Behringer UMX61 Midi Controller 😉 shweeeeeeeet.

Roland, Roland – Wherefore art thou

Them: Have you a consignment number? Me: Yes (gives it to her). Them: Umm One moment. Them: Can you give me the size and a description of what it is? Me: 139cm x 24cm x 10cm and 11 kilos. Them: Does it have any distinguishing features? Me: Well it ‘s a brushed aluminium vintage synthesizer, oh 88 key. Them: Anything else? Me: It ‘s got a birth mark just below middle C.
At this point she hastily said she’d look for it and ring me back then hung up. I’m sorta wonderin’ if she’s also psychic as well as thick as she didn’t ask for my number.

Update 15th November: Still haven’t got it,because Allied Express have lost it again – it’s either in Melbourne or Sydney they’re not sure, plus they have now told me not to contact them again but to go through my booking agent. Incompetence thy name is Allied Express.

Update 16th November: It ‘s official, Allied Express have lost my Roland RS-9 and I now have to go through proving to QBE that I deserve to be given my insurance claim. In a word “Gutted.” ;-( Or in more than one word FUCK ALLIED EXPRESS AND THE FUCKIN’ HORSE THEY RODE IN ON!!
