£250 or nearest offer. doesn't include the fbv shortboard as I've sold this seperately. Line 6 Flextone III XL Amp (2x12) (including manual) 150w Pretty much a Pod built into an amp. Great for live performance or recording. It has been gigged but still in good condition - it's built like a tank! Reason for sale - I've upgraded to a mesa so unfortunately this one has to go. I bought it in 2002 for £499 - you can get them for around £375 nowadays. Looking for £250 or nearest offer. pickup from stoke or leeds reviews: reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp/product/Line+6/Flextone+III+XL/10/1

Is your vacuum cleaner broken? All the scummy crud under your bed would suggest so.

That hole to the right of the amp, is that a peepy-hole?
Are you spying on your sister when she gets out the shower, isn't it?

I'll chuck a couple of bob for the extension cord, but only 'cos i likes you. Looks suspiciously like a B&Q original that one Vestan. Could be worth a bit in years to come.

I'm sorry vestan but on closer inspection it appears that it may be missing the B&Q 240v trip switch, which if not mistaken is a tell tale sign of a B&Q forgery anyway.
I wonder if thats eggshell paint on the walls or just a plain white.

I think you are right.
Also, doesn't a B&Q original have an oxidised rubber coating over the plug, as opposed to a plastic one?
Oh well, the search continues. You'd think after all these years that i'd learn not to get so excited, but still i do. It's past a hobby now, my wife's right. It's an obsession.

i'll keep and eye out for you vestan, but after the 1992 B&Q warehouse fire and FOCUS DIY flooding the market with those cheap imitations it's gonna be tough. I can imagine your search has taken you all over the globe.
Also Kingo there appears to be some sort of slant/slope in that room its evident from the beautifully bevelled skirting board.
Don't want to alarm you or anything but has the local area been checked for subsidence.

All jokes aside Kingo, subsidence is no laughing matter.
With recent horror stories about movement in properties causing serious structural damage, people are now more aware of the problems caused by subsidence. But, says Tony Griggs of Guardian Insurance, with early detection and help from your insurer it need not be a disaster.
Subsidence is the downward movement of part of a property and the first most people will know of it is fine lines and cracks appearing around points of stress such as window frames and doorjambs. It is therefore important to keep your eyes open for such signs - both outside and inside - and note if cracks appear to be growing says Griggs.
"Bearing in mind that the purchase of a house is the most expensive thing any of us normally do in life there is a need to protect it so as soon as fine lines are seen contact the insurance company."
The insurer should then get in touch with loss adjusters and possibly engineers to assess whether the damage is a result of subsidence and draw up a plan of action, which may involve taking tests over a period of time. In new houses there is the perfectly normal action of settlement, with the whole property sinking slightly and the cosmetic damage can be easily fixed with domestic filler and painted or papered over.
Griggs says the cause of the more serious subsidence is the absence of water in the surrounding soil with the type of soil the house is built upon one of the most important contributing factors. Clay, being very porous, is particularly vulnerable and for this reason the problem tends to be clustered around southern England.
Tree roots near your house can swallow up valuable moisture, with willow trees and conifers particularly greedy and while most small plants are alright Griggs warns householders should have second thoughts about the popular wisteria plant. The best preventative measure against subsidence is not to plant trees too close to your home, and particularly not in rows where their root systems will all be fighting for moisture in the same area.
Once the insurers' tests are complete they may decide the problem is just cosmetic or, recommend action such as cutting down all or part of trees. This should not be done without expert opinion as it can swiftly increase the amount of moisture in the soil putting the house at risk of what is known as ground heave, with swelling causing the opposite action of subsidence.
In the most serious cases of subsidence it may be decided that the house needs to be underpinning. Griggs says underpinning, placing an extra strengthening foundation under the current foundations, is a major upheaval for householders, but should ensure the house's stability.
The good news, he says, is that it need not affect the value of your property.
"In some ways it might add to the value because the person who buys the house knows they have the strength of underpinning and it should never happen again."
Remember it's much better to be safe than sorry.
You don't wanna be taking a crap one day and then suddenly and without warning your straight through the ceiling and shitting on the kitchen table.
Kingo if you need any more info just let me know.
