The 'Bob Green' Sweepstake...

What will he buy next, and how much will it cost him?

Nearest to the mark gets a free pint.

I just saw the heading.... it wasn't hard to guess the content 😀

 

[Greywolf]

Pink Gold Yani?

 

[Bobby G]

The minute my back's turned, you cheeky buggers.

Read my lips... no more new saxes. WHO IS HE KIDDING? If you believe that you probably voted for George Bush Sr. In fact it's true, my sax-purchasing budget is gone (boo) OH YEAH. As I will not be buying any more saxophones NO I WON'T WHY WILL YOU NOT BELIEVE ME at least for the foreseeable future YEAH YEAH YEAH, I claim the sweepstake prize of a pint Mr Robaldo. I'll even swap it for a YTS-23

Cheers, Bob

p.s. it really is an honour to have a thread with one's name as part of the title. I'm very proud and, yes, even a little humble. Thank you

 

[Bobby G]

Unless there's a bari going cheap

 

[Bobby G]

...and that's a setup line...

The contest doesn't seem to be limited to saxes per se.

I'm betting it'll be a mouthpiece, costing at least 100 GBP (that is "pounds," right?).

 

[Bobby G]

I have bought something on Ebay this evening.

 

[robaldo]

A humidity and temperature controlled, gold-plated reed case, with BG monogrammed on it?

 

[Bobby G]

No, and not a BG ligature either.

It's a 1975 Silver Cross Marlborough. Trouble is, I can't work out which end to blow in as it's a pram.

Cheers, Bob

 

[Greywolf]

You've got to stop doing the drugs Bob. They're doing youno good at all.

 

[spike]

Oh what, Ey Bob, is that the one with the chrome spoke wheels and the bow springs with leather tensioners? Cool machine man, mail me when she's finished with it. greets - spike

 

[Bobby G]

Nah, sorry Spike, it doesn't have the leather tensioners, although it does have full suspension, detachable body and the frame folds for easy transportation or storage. But it does have rolled tone holes and a third octave vent.

It's yours when the baby has finished with it.

Cheers, Bob

 

[Rogerb]

You might want to keep it for the next one 😱

They become 'family heirlooms', and at the new prices, no wonder!

Our 3 were quite successfully transported in a s/h unnamed which we got, IIRC, for 12 squid 😛
