Hi, i am relatively new in the OFC and this is my first post. OFC is the place where i found the guitar which i was in search for a long time. I bought stephen Terry's Adamas 1881-2, she arrived at home yesterday. Thanks Stephen for your honesty, your disponibility, quick answer, and the care you take to send the guitar. Buying an instrument on the internet is something which could be quite disapointing. Nothing like that with Stephen, you can buy with great trust. He presently has other guitars for sale, don't hesitate to see his albums and contact him.
I must give 10/10 to you Stephen!!
Arnaud Wodey
1974 Miguel Gonzalez Abad classical guitar
1989 Elite 1868-4
1992 Adamas 1881-2
Marcel Dadi, Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed,Buster B. Jones my masters. |

Jeff, I don't know if that is possible.
J, you guys need to organize an European get together.
Phil, time to write some lyrics. I'm inspired by the phrase "BITE ME!" |

| Sounds like someone is Despondent or disappointed about their reliability or responsibilities! This is either good or bad???
If I was half as worried about my responsibilities as I am about my reliability, I'd be twice as disapponited about my despondence concerning the whole issue!
"The Pain I am feeling is the wall of ignorance I am breaking through........I chear...for it is I who is about to embrace the knowledge and enlightenment that so eagerly awaits me" RD
You work through that and get back to me later. Or not.
I'll be at home, doing smart things. Not necessarily well......
I do happen to have a good discussion going about the finer points of "Bananas" with my neighbor as we speak.
Did you know you are supposed to peel a banana by the bottom end? How many of you grab the stem and tear it off and then the rest of the peel. (Be honest now, this is important information) This is not the way a good monkey does it... you watch one. They hold the natural banana handle (the stem) and peel from the other end. Amazing how much information can be gathered during a good Monkey chat!

Reminded me of the fun we had with our Korean foreing exchange student. She was always trying to find a word we didn't know and constantly mixed up her i and e sounds, so it was a piss or a shit of paper and we used to go down to the bitch. |

About the same time he wrote a bit on the difference between Americans and Brits.
eg: -We speak english, you do not.
-When we hold a 'world series' we invite people from other countries.
-When you meet the leader of our country you only have to go down on one knee.
........................................
Never forget, Canadians are peaceful until provoked.
In the war of 1812, Canadians pushed the Americans so far back... passed their 'White House', we burned it... and most of Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away so we came home and partied. Go figure. What is a Canadian? |

Now, can we get back on topic! :rolleyes: |

I shall no longer use this french-english-born-in-my-mind word!
I used the word "diponibility" as a translation for "thx Stephen for your receptiveness and taking a part of your time for me".
Hope i made all you laugh, sure that sort of mistake will happen from time to time.... |

The Queen feels that we colonists would make the transition to metric and proper spelling a little easier and more favourable to you!! |

Really Fillhixx, you are going to compare that game to real football we invinted? It still remains the best sport ever inspite players like T.O. Canidahhh just copied us and made enough changes to ruin a good game. |

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | It was my understanding that the game was invented when a Canadian and an American university team got together to play 'football.' One team came ready to play 'footie'(soccer) and the other to play 'rugger'(rugby). They worked out the difference and each took home a new game.
The upshot is, though American football pays a lot more (economy of scale and all y'know) the Canadian game is faster and more fun. :p
(Not that I care, not playing much in team sports since I blew my shoulder out a few years ago... I no longer care much about that kind of thing. Sports are like sex. Fun to play, boring to watch.
History
Canadian football was originally called rugby football, and is a descendant of rugby union football as played in the 1860s and 1870s by the Montreal Football Club and at McGill University. It is from this varsity play that the game now known as American Football entered the United States, as McGill challenged Harvard University to play.
The Canadian Football League was known under various names throughout its history including the Canadian Rugby Football Union, and the Canadian Rugby Union. The Canadian Rugby Football Union, original forerunner to the current Canadian Football League was established in 1884.
As the rules of American football are very similar to Canadian football, the CFL has maintained a close relationship with its American counterpart, the National Football League (NFL).
The CFL regular season begins in June, and play-offs are be completed by mid-November. In cities with outdoor stadiums such as Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Regina, low-temperatures and icy field conditions can seriously affect the outcome of a game. wikipedia
American football in its current form grew out of a series of three games between Harvard University and McGill University of Montreal in 1874. McGill played rugby football while Harvard played the Boston Game, which was closer to soccer. As often happened in those days of far from universal rules, the teams alternated rules so that both would have a fair chance. The Harvard players liked having the opportunity to run with the ball, and in 1875 persuaded Yale University to adopt rugby rules for their annual game. In 1876 Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia formed the Intercollegiate Football Association, which used the rugby code, except for a slight difference in scoring. wikipedia |
