Seriously though this is just crass commercialism. Some folks just have no morals.Anyway, foolish comments aside... I'd be interested in the BR-9. I don't know whether it would be worthwhile shipping it to the UK though. Any idea how much that would be? The Parlor looks great too. I'm slowly (very s...

It is really nice. It stays in 25w mode most of the time. I went halves with a friend to buy it. He has since moved back to NZ “ so it is all mine. I don t think I would ve bought such an awesome amp on my own - I actually originally came by the EA forum looking for opinions on a DSL 50 in the tech ...

I exercise because I like exercise - it makes me feel good. I don't want to lose weight especially.I would never deny myself an extra helping of pasta or a buttery bacon sarnie or a pint.I'm not dissing people who do - just saying maybe it's better for your mental wellbeing just to forget about your...
