I'm sorry. Remember that I am not from the UK, rather I'm from Canada so I'm not up on what they're saying in the streets over there. I only know the basic popular slang due to TV and movies, as I've never actually been to the UK.

I was trying to be a little sarcastic with the first half of that statement too but I think it went over like a lead balloon.

Damn. White grands are so sexy and it's every pianists dream to actually own one. If you have to move it out of the house, your best bet (and the safest one) is to hire a piano mover to have it moved to wherever the stuff has to go. Pianos are very fragile!

Here's Liberace playing variations of Mack the Knife on a beautiful white grand piano:

Well, if you ever visit London, Burning Down, you can try talking like this:- "Let`s scarper to the jack for a tiddly."
(Translation: Let`s go to the bar for a drink.)

Or in Louisiana:

"Mais cher, omma hed don to da bahyuh n ketch me sum crabs."

Translation:

Let's go hit on chicks at the bar.

Because you may actually catch crabs from chicks at the bar.

I had an intense jam today with my friends. We played avant-garde jazz with this new drummer that one of my three bassists found at an abandoned house that he was squatting in. We played really insane and evil crap that sort of sounded like post punk. Not to mention that we were stoned on some mighty fine hash and drinking heavy tea. We pulled double drumming, throat singing, and harsh noise elements and we really clicked. The drummer's entering a drumming competition and we're going to be his backing band, so we're going to have a massive gig in the jazz community of San Diego. Pretty kick ass day if you ask me.
