Yes way. They were playing at the City Market Saturday night, and apparently Billy needed to replace his octaver pedal. He was buying a shiny new Jimi Hendrix Octaver and a fistful of shorty cords for daisychaining such devices.

I always thought he was a bigger guy. He's no taller than me, and scrawny...

Oops - too bloody busy at work and should have posted this two weeks ago - but 7-9 Sept spent cycling 150 miles in two legs - Friday evening from Liphook (I had to join in after work) to Portsmouth and then on the Saturday 8th from Caen to Le Mans in France - maps below (follow the blue routes) and then a few photos to follow:

First leg was just about 30 miles for me - starting almost half-way because of the time - it was acharity run and we arrive at Portsmpouth around 9.15 pm - overnight ferry to Caen ferry port and then off at 8.00 am cycling all day 115 miles to end up in Le Mans around 8.00 pm! - a few photos from Caen onwards to the finish - I cycled with a pal I met on last year's ride around Dieppe, so photos include pictures of him as well - first the start at caen and then looking back towards Caen about 10 miles into the ride - pretty quiet roads in France:

Dave looking pleased at going downhill - he wasn't so smiley going up them - the n the both of us at the finish. I hope to get a website together at some stage, but I'm well behind with these - still have the Wipers one to finish - just too much work at the moment weekdays and weekends - and cycling 150 miles on the only spare one wasn't the best way to conserve energy - totally exhausted by the end:
