Sergeant Wilson Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 53 minutes ago, Shandon Par said: There’s a music doc on just now (might be the Mark Ronson thing on Apple TV) and in one episode about drum machines Drave Grohl talks about Heart Shaped Box. He was a bit offended by Kurt asking him to play along to a click track so they compromised and a strobe light was installed in front of his drums. It helped him keep the beat but also sent him ga-ga with the pulsing light in his eyes. Maybe that's why he shot him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the wee spanner light only flash when you're driving? Ya wee spanner! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Grohl’s autobiography the other day and he kept that part quiet. Expected a warts n all rock n roll romp but it was all about how much he loves his mum and never did drugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I owned Pink Floyd's Pulse on CD. It had a wee flashing light on the box. About 2 years after buying it, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw it flashing... Then stop as the battery had died. Spooky shit, I thought at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Here's something I just discovered. It SEEMS that the saying "get wired in" is uniquely Scottish. Maybe even just west of Scotland, not sure. I failed when googling its origin , got results for 'wired' as in hyperactive. Funny the things that you didn't know you didn't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a little stuffed pig that used to oink when squeezed. Late one night when HOME ALONE , this weird croaking noise started from another room. Yes it was the pig, I presume battery failure but I didn't know it had a battery, it's all sewn up, I thought it was mechanical. Spooked me, lucky I wasn't watching a scary movie or I'd have shit myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny the things that you didn't know you didn't know.I use it routinely, aswell as shortening to "wire in", when giving permission to proceed. In fact, I just waved someone past me in the Lidl checkout about 9 minutes ago and when asked if I was sure, told them to "wire in". I like it.

Spooked me, lucky I wasn't watching a scary movie or I'd have shit myself. Something similar happened to me. My late mum had a little fluffy chicken (f**k off, Kenneth, this is my mum we're talking about) which made a cheeping noise when you sat it in the palm of your hand - the skin made the connection between the terminals on its bum. One day I heard this weird sound and eventually managed to track it down to the chicken - the battery had leaked and was causing it to make the cheeping sound, though it was more like a record running down, if you follow. The really spooky part is that this happened on Easter Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy horses randomly neighing in the night, dolls crying etc etc. Absolutely terrifying in all cases 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
