The same things as saying vinyls

And what in Dio's name is wrong with calling something a 'show'?

There was a thread on facebook about how saying show or gig (I can't remember which) meant that you were some kind of monster according NME in the 70s/80s (I can't remember which). Bunch of old punk types giving out about misuse of the "correct" term.

I will say that "I'm going to a show" makes me think you're going to a Broadway musical with nary a guitar in sight.

I tried to stop a man beating his girlfriend on the street in Ballybough once.
They both turned on me. She clocked me one as I was holding his arms to stop him punching her. Called me every name going.
I flung him on the ground and scarpered.

My strategy after that was to call the Gards.
Which is almost, but not quite, the same as doing nothing.

My embouchure remains intact to this day.

Stay out of other people's business. Call the cops.

Walking to work the other morning I saw a couple having a fairly violent dispute. The woman chased the man out of the house in her dressing gown and was screaming in his face. He grabbed her keys and flung them across the road, into a bush. She responded by punching him full force in the face. At this point they point went over to the bushes and both started looking for the keys. I saw the whole thing play out but just kept walking. If it was him that punched her I would have intervened. He was a big fat guy and she was tiny.

As an aside, I can't wait to get married so I have someone to blame all the things I hate about myself on.

I'm single and I have that already, it's just myself.

It's very freeing when you have someone to lay all your disappointments in life on.

Or so I imagine.

I mean I can't see any other attraction to making constant compromises every single day of your life.

 

[therealjohnny]

My girlfriend settled for me and in doing so robbed me of any inclination to better myself

It's all her fault . The occasional " hey lardo, want a training bra for those?" or " are you going to remain stupid all your life?" would give me the kick up the ass I sorely need

But no

Many of those moving into neighbourhoods such as Deptford – myself included – would prefer not to see themselves as part of the wave of displacement and feel some allegiance to the kind of progressive politics that protects and supports low-income inhabitants. Ironic style distances the process of gentrification by putting it in inverted commas. It says, yes, we're displacing you, but we're not "really" displacing you.

Ha, fucking laughable.

"Okay so I'm part of gentrification because I'm educated middle class and work for liberal left leaning newspaper, but this bar which employs people from the local area is beyond the pale"

I wish the guardian would just fuck off sometimes.



The only thing I can see wrong with boozing in a job centre is that you don't get to slash the seats and piss on the desks.
