You know you're getting old.... (2 Viewers)

Just saw a clip of someone in the audience at the Oasis reunion gig using Shazam to identify the song Richard Ashcroft (and most of the audience) was singing. It was Bittersweet Symphony.
I went for a quiet pint this afternoon. A woman was checking her Facebook and playing clips of the Oasis gig out loud. When severe frowning didn't work I ended up dramatically moving seats and calling her an asshole. I'm getting less tolerant of cunts.

i feel you
 
My boss the other day, who is 24, said he was going. I shut him down from talking about it quickly.

"But it's different because I'm actually from Manchestah, I'm not jumping on a bandwagon'".
Fair enough I guess, but you weren't there man, you don't what it was like. Every prick rolling their shoulders as they walked.*


*These were the actual words that left my mouth before I could check myself. YKYGO etc.
 
Pretty funny show in places. The man understands his people.

We were sitting in front of two fucking morons who apparently had never heard jokes before. Or been out in public.
 
I saw him years ago and he did a 10 minute bit on “gypsies” that was horrendous and killed any interest I had in him. Shame because I loved Phoenix Nights.
I'm not at all familiar with his work - I've never seen any of the TV show(s?) and he's really always just been the OHHH ME HOBNOB'S FALLEN IN ME BREW man to me, and that's it. He started the show by singing songs from old ads, and within seconds had (most of) the audience singing them back to him. Not me, of course, but in fairness it was genuinely funny seeing him just utter a single word - "Nuts!" - and everyone immediately knowing what the song was.

So yeah, I assumed it was all the kind of comedy yer ma likes to watch, but more than a little bit of his material was not that at all. Some of it was little eyebrow raising and yeah, once or twice even skirted the borders of offensive territory.

Things got interesting about halfway through when he was interrupted by someone who walked up to the front of the stage and started shouting at him. Took security a minute to realise what was happening before the guy was dragged out. Bit weird.
 
I've been having a recend resurgencey of realising comedians are the most depressing cunts on earth.
9 seconds of that peter k video didn't help.

I accept that 1/1000 comedians are something special. the rest are fuckers who walk around half in and out of the world monetising anything vaguely enjoyable.
