But far more exciting than a beach full of Travis Bickles is the news that I've bought a new guitar! And I didn't even need one! Hurrah! I was suffering from a serious illness (of the mental variety) over the weekend, so on Saturday I decided to self-medicate by visiting Ebay and bidding on some rubbish. I was looking at the guitars of a German company called Bell & Head (which I'm sure means something quite profound in German) who specialise in unusual designs by their deer friend Cassandra Elk.
They've only recently started selling to the UK, and I'm not sure if they had some kind of problem converting Euros to Pounds, but I noticed that whilst all their guitars have a starting bid of at least £99, one had slipped through the net with no reserve whatsoever.

I was slightly worried that Herr Bell might need his Head examined for selling one of their guitars at a loss, and would therefore try to pull out of the sale, but the good news is I've had an e-mail this morning which reads:
Hallo,
thanks for payment.
We send out kgitar this week.
regards Jörg
You'd never know he's not English. So that's all marvellous. I feel better already. The only drawback is that they describe the guitar's colour as "pale black", which I'm sure doesn't exist. Maybe they put it through the washing machine.

Dave This sounds like part of the grey economy.
Whatever that means. It was the only pun I could think of, involving pale black and e-bay.

I appreciate the effort.23 April 2007, 12:39:41The BS6 Religious Committee
Interesting styling. You'll be going to Amon Amarth gigs next. A write up of those would enliven the Kemptown Rag. Guess we shouldn't be too surprised, shaving your cat was something of a clue to a darkside.23 April 2007, 13:27:31 Phil
Oh yes, I rock. And I'm down with the kids. I'm also quite phat, but I don't like to talk about that.24 April 2007, 10:45:56
