I played a bazouki for the first time in all my years of life this evening. It was a left handed one so I was playing upside down*, but I got something out of it. Must get my mandolin back.

Then the owner took it back and played War Pigs on it. Oh lord yeah.



*The bazouki was upside down, not me.

They've done a few videos like this one. All ones I saw had a pro Palestine element.

One must keep an eye on these things. Things cost money and prices change over time. Years ago I bought one of these:

Fifty quid when I got it. It was an ill conceived present for the ex. (She works at festivals, it made sense in my head, leave it).
The neighbour, who my landlord pays some bills to, asked about it. I said twenski. He got cash off my cap'n and gave me thirty.

It's his now, and I got more money than expected. He got a good deal, and it is one more bit of shite from that awful time that I don't need to think about any more.

You must have been off your trolley buying that as a present

"seanc, did you get the crew list for tomorrows work?"
Yes I did, it's just me and you isn't it?
"Yeah listen, we did it all today. So don't bother showing up tomorrow".
Are you sure? Are you surely sure?
"Yes, don't be phoning me tomorrow morning. Still paid of course".
OK, don't tell the lads in the office, they'll just start thinking.
"Exactly. We'll get paid. They'll get paid. The guy paying us said don't show up. it's fine".


It might go horribly wrong tomorrow, but with that information, i'm going pub.

Ey'up lass, ye can make your own Yorkshire puddings as big as ya like if ya weren't living it up in the big city. Marriage? Who's going to mind the house that day? Fly your whippets.
Actually had a chat with an old Yorkshireman this evening where he talked about what it were like when he were young.

Yes monty python sketch was mentioned.

A minor pleasure für mich: my mum rang me because explaining things in text was too much. I'm glad she realised that as well. It's a complicated situation and not a pleasure, our multinational travel arrangements have been scuppered by someone having a heart attack in a foreign country. Travel, insurance etc. We can't do anything from here.

But she was gas craic. You know when you swear a lot and someone says "would you talk in front of your mother like that?"

Fuck yeah I do, do you want to talk to her? Fucking explain to her why you thought it'd be a good fucking idea to fucking admonish her son, you fucking gobshite.

got to hear the choir my wife is in perform this piece this evening; this is not their performance, obviously.

Yeah but they're also big zionists. Fuck them

Rapscallions rather than gurriers, one of the locals' two kids tried to take the hat off my head. And then charge me a quid to get it back.
I looked the seven(?) year old in the eye and said "Listen to me: possession is 90% of the law, so you owe me a quid".
I don't like that!
Well, yeah kiddo, it's my hat. Their adorableness did actually make them a couple of quid. With other rubes.

Later the younger said "OK so, give me a penny then, I have one, I need another".
There was pencil's and paper on the table so I said "Give me that penny and you'll get another penny".

So I put the penny under the paper, grabbed a pencil and stenciled out a penny. "There's a penny". Both kids were genuinely amazed even while I did it. And then they didn't bother anyone else for the rest of the evening.

"DAD! DAD!"
Dad said "I've never actually seen that before myself. I've thought them nothing".
He certainly thought them to hustle.

Must be said, he is actually a really lovely dad. And his cheeky kids are very hard not to like.

For years I always had at least 30-40 records I hadn't finished listening to that had never been filed away.
Finally I have it down to just one LP I'm playing + five LPs I haven't opened yet.
The downside is I have nearly 20 CDs on the go at mo'.

Better go to sleep. I haven't been awake this late for a long time.
