Hullo **One line of politics: I'm standing for the Green Party in the UK European/Local elections on 10th June. Vote Green! If you live in Chadwell Heath, East London, Vote ME! **Bar chords (look away if you don't play guitar!): I can't play bar chords very well on my acoustic guitar, so I use the thumb-over-the-top method. Then you only have to bar 2 strings. An F chord, frets: 133211 Fingering: T43211 - the 1st finger bars the top two strings. The thumb frets the bass note. That's the bar chord based on the open E chord. I don't much like the bar chord based on the open A chord, so I often use one based on the open C chord - here's Eb: Frets: x65343 Fingering: x43121 - the index finger bars the top three strings. **Hewitt Sorry I didn't make the anniversary / birthday bash. I was very ill following an attempt on my life by either Gabi Roslin, Carol Vorderman, Barry McGuigan or the beardy bloke out of the Learn Direct advertisements. **Safe at last I have got engaged to my girlfriend Suzie, so the female folk of Sinister are safe once again. That's unless Stevie Trousers re-subscribes. **Speaking of Trousers I joined http://www.musicmobs.com (as 'retrocool') which takes information from iTunes and enables you to find people with similar taste. When I clicked 'similar users', Stevie Trousers was there, but which skinny, foppish, pretentious indie kid came top? None other than Nick Dastoor, whom I've never quite forgiven for being as skinny, indie, foppish and pretentious as me. And now he's got a matching record collection.
