Anyone come across an “Oven Ready” guitar? No but seen some that would be better used as firewood. Does that count? What about torrefied tops? They've been in an oven

Anyone come across an “Oven Ready” guitar? Ahhh that old chestnut which is the term the buffoon Johnson used for the withdrawal agreement that people and opposition politicians/commentators like to say referred to the trade agreement As the supermarkets ration food and the agriculture minister Coffée announces that we need to learn to love the turnip I wonder if the goal of Brexit was to turn the whole country into a Blackadder theme park.

I ordered one of these these from Thomann on Monday [20th Feb]...DHL has just delivered it. Zero hassle and a reasonable quality product at a competitive price even including shipping costs...good to see that Thomann will still supply the UK despite the added Brexit red tape. Sadly that is not the case with smaller German firms...a company that I've ordered from several times over the years tell me[ very apologetically] that it is simply not worth their while given the small amount of business they have in the UK. Hey ho...just boiling up some turnips for lunch..

OK, without meaning to prolong the anti-brexit argument too much longer, I just wanted to see what people think of this: I want to buy this absolutely stunning album: eoghanoceannabhain.bandcamp.com/album/the-deepest-breathI mean, it is utterly sublime, original, inspiring and uplifting. However, look at the cost of the CD or the Vinyl. I would really want the vinyl, but its £17.59 PLUS £17.59 shipping. From Ireland ! Really??? The CD is the same: £13.19 plus 13.19 for shipping. I'm not implying this is anything to do with Brexit. But...I have bought CDs from Ireland from Bandcamp before and don't remember the shipping being so extortionate. To be fair I see the shipping costs to the USA are the same as well. Please don't tell me to buy homegrown UK music either- there just isn'y anything as good as this I have heard in a long while (except maybe the Wilderness Yet- they are good ) Who/ what is driving these silly prices? Does it really cost nearly £20 to ship a record from Ireland? Do the artists set this? Is it Bandcamp? I really don't want to have to resort to just having the digital download, but it looks like in this case I will have to Robbie

OK, forget my rant: I emailed Eoghan and he said it is a mistake when he was adding the album to Bandcamp and can't correct it at the moment. I'm hoping to hold out until the vinyl becomes avaliable and then purchase it with more reasonable shipping costs!! He assured me nothing to do with Brexit!

I expect you’ve already explored this Robbie but couldn’t you just arrange to buy it direct from him/her and save on the bandcamp fees?

Or take a trip to Ireland during the festival season, enjoy some live music and buy it while you're over there? Aside: I bought some tomatoes today - only 85p for 6. Result.
