Yep definitely money... Everything I want cost mucho dinero... not to mention the sheer rarity of the items in my crosshairs...
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

Abject penury thanks to massive house prices/mortgages, kid, local taxation, high food prices, Tony Blair's wars, (6 to date), insurance, pension, bills and the welfare state!! After all this I'm left with 20% of my monthly income for everything else!

you missed off a tick box thing:

Too stingy to spend hundreds of pounds on little black boxes.

i work to long to get my money (not hard though ;) ) an then spend it all in one go on somethin i may not use all that often. although i am saving or for a US strat. an maybe a boutique stlye amp its a shame they both costs mucho dinero (i.e thousands of pounds)
by the way any one got a boutique amp? anythin like a badcat or similar. be interested to see if those things produce that amazing tone theyre supposed to. but yup if i had money to burn then it would all go on guitar stuff, oh an maybe some new speakers for my car.
The sun is shining the weather is sweet

My problem is money and lack of space. Money because I just don't want to part with it, and space because I live in a somewhat small in-town house. I do however have a large shop in my back yard that I'm in the process of soundproofing. hopefully enough so drums can be played without much outside noise at all.
