The guards still operating checkpoints.

I haven't met them once since the lockdown started in January. I thought they'd pretty much given up on it or ran out of overtime

I've only been stopped once and the gard didn't give a shit

"where you going?"

"just on my way home"

"fair enough, ye can head off so "

I've only been stopped once myself too. One Friday after work.

"Where are you heading? To the shops there, is it? Take it handy".

They didn't halt for a breath.

Every evening when I'm taking off the shoes, fantastic riffs and sometimes entire arrangements go through my head and for the life of me I can't remember a note of them by the time I get to picking up the bass or opening up the DAW. At one stage I'd hum them into the phone but they still wouldn't stick. Frustrating stuff.

I live my life with this happening at least twice daily.   The fuckin pain

I never stress about not being able to capture an idea in my head. I just take it as a sign to plug in and see what comes out. The hands always have their own ideas (your honour!).

To be honest it's a minor enough peeve but it's constant. I'm still of the opinion that if any of them turn out to be good enough I'll remember them. Hasn't ever happened yet though. Not even once.

This 4/20 bullshit. Every fucking year.

20/4. Now fuck off and take your 9/11 with you while you're at it.

I have recorded some mongo ideas into the phone a few times. What ended up being written has usually been completely different but still workable.

Sensitivity training. The missus just reminded me about the time a place I used to work sent me on that.

I love the smoke but it's a load of bollix over here and also when it's every day for most participants. And yeah we don't even have a 4/20 unless there happens to be 20 months in some future scenario.

What we have is the misuse of drugs act 1988. Bit harder to celebrate that one on a given date..

It worked. It taught him what to avoid in the future :laugh:

Ah, he's very sensitive these days; a stiff breeze and he has to change his pants.

I learned a lot and felt genuinely enriched by the whole experience  :laugh:
