I can send you the £10 for the steel you agreed to sell me, this would allow you to buy a bundle of firewood to start a campfire to cook on ( know you Southerners are a bit backward) or alternatively chop up one of those old wood steel guitars and burn that. ;)

If I could borrow your plastic geetar Malcolm, it would burn quicker and for longer. I could put up with the black smoke. :lol:

And one stage from being a sandwich box.

While carbon fibres themselves may not burn, but the polymer matrix sure does. Give it a try - I bet it ignites with a drop of lighter fuel to help it on its way. :lol: :lol:

Judging by age of oven think his name was Eddison or something like that. :roll:

It was me Donny, some 20 plus years ago. It wasn't the wiring that caused the problem, but one of the heating elements in one of the ovens shorted out. This in turn caused the main wiring connection on the back of the ovens to overheat. Just an age thing I guess. The new ovens are working fine.

Nick, just in case you are worried, I have an electrical qualification and a basic knowledge in electronics. :) :)

Well Mr McMiser, as you keep pestering me for this deal, I will allow you a trade in for your red plastic MSA plus £200 against a single neck Springfield 3 + 1 that I have. You would be coming out on top in that deal and you know it. I also have a Denley D10 6 pedal job with no levers that I would take your MSA plus £500 for. The Denley comes without a case. I know that you are desperate to get your hands on a real steel guitar made from real organic material, which gives the very best of tone. Failing that, I would do a straight swap for your MSA and a plastic dustbin. Can't be any fairer than that!!

Dear Mr Bling, is the organic substance the steels you refer to are made off is what we up in Scotland call compost ( s****) .
There seems to be some back sliding on this deal , Firstly it was £10 for your Infinity, then you downgraded it to the Zum, now price has gone up,so my final offer is £12 for both of them, taking that compost off your hands. :roll:
