Well, I had to take 2 of'em, but the last one took me 2 years while the 3rd one ended up being late.Quote:

I really don't mind. It's just that I can't gather the momentum to be as harsh as I'd like when it's done by someone I like. Faux-rage needs to be given ignition by a spastic. :01:
Besides, Skiz is now an honorary Irishman. He's been to a Pogues concert, got drunk to the requisite degree and has a natural desire to shoot things. He ticks all the cultural boxes.
im irish i drink but im also polish so i bowl and im also english so i drink tea im also french so i eat french toast im also lithwanian so i have lithian light bulbs
Okie dokie. So I went to The Pogues show on Wednesday at perhaps my favorite venue - Stubb's BBQ. I started out by going to a friend of mines place which happens to be a historic mansion right downtown (that's a story for another time). I crack my first Guinness. :happy:
After three innings and as many Guinness we head to the show. I couldn't believe how many people were there. I had gone to the Black Crowes show about two weeks before and there weren't that many people. When the Pogues came out, Shane immediately made a comment like "So yer burning, ye?" (welcome to Austin) and then jumped right into a song, albeit completely unintelligible. But that's his style, right? I didn't give two fucks if I could understand him or not.
Anyways, the crowd was packed full of fans who did know the words and they sang right along. I honestly cannot ever remember hearing a crowd sing song after song in such a rowdy, seemingly traditional way with the music. Add that this is not music that you hear in Texas and it was very surreal and fun.
For most of the show, Shane would perform two songs and then go back stage for one song. It was 2 on:1 off for about the first hour. Then things really started to get rolling. Everyone was good and lit by then and the front third of the crowd was going pretty nuts. When they finished, it was clear that no one was going anywhere until they got an encore. I kid you not. Not one person in the entire venue even thought about leaving. The front third was banging things, stomping their feet, screaming, etc. and making the loudest commotion I've ever heard at Stubbs. After a few minutes the band came back out and played a couple more songs. They left the stage again and again no one left. Double-encore! I found the set-list online:
Streams of Whiskey
If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Broad Majestic Shannon
Young Ned Of The Hill
Boys From The County Hell
A Pair of Brown Eyes
Tuesday Morning
Kitty
Sunnyside of the Street
Repeal of the Licensing Laws
Body of an American
Old Main Drag
Thousands
Dirty O...ld Town
Irish Rover
Bottle of Smoke
Sickbed
Star of the County Down
Rainy Night in Soho
Sally Maclennane
Paddy on the Railway
Fiesta
It's tough to really appreciate any show when you've never heard a single song, but I had a blast. :01:
:unsure: So to sum it all up...
The Pogues = win
I just made fresh cream of tomato soup. Win+1
Can I have some please. I'm cold, hungry and I think wolves are after me. :emo:
Of course. Just knock the door and come in. Warm yourself in front of the fire as well.
evesup, jizzcocks.
Eyop Bo. How's the prisoner beating going?
I wouldn't know:whistling
:o
Are you looking after chavis' brother at all?
"Looking after" isn't how I'd describe it, like.
Do you have to do cavity searches?
No. Tho' I have had to watch someone pull a phone out their arse.
That was a fun day off work, like.

Fuck sake. What else do they hide? Aside from the normal drugs and fags and that?
Anything they're not allowed, basically.
Heavesup Bo. Thanks for the offer skweeky.
My mate reckons he can get a couple of ounces up there, and even get past a bend-over and spread em test without detection. I dread to think how he does it.
Pun intentional.
you can’t beat corporal punishment!
Ask for a demonstration.
How philosophical.Quote:

He has the most beautiful eyes.
Sleepsneversup, muthers. I figured booze would do the trick, eventually.
Fuck too.
Peace, doobs
I am currently in a hotel room in Crewe with a completely over excited baby. He is crawling about the room, climbing on top of stuff whilst squealing with delight.
We finally got round to getting a second car. We got an old Ford Galaxy. It's not immaculate, but it's going to be the family car and will have babies and toddlers in it, so we thought it really would be of no use to get something new, or in mint condition.
Managed to get the car and the insurance for less than a grand. Woooo!
Skweeks, expect a parcel tomorrow or Thursday. I sent it recorded delivery.
Would've done it sooner, but the bad brain aids were giving me gyp, innit.
Did you get a new head? Looking forward to the parcel!
My sister just called to tell me she has just booked a ski holiday for March next year. Apparently she felt she had to do this after reading on facebook how miserable I was feeling (morning sickness, still).
She went on to ask if I wanted to come along. I explained to her that it really would not be a good idea to go skiing when 7.5 months pregnant.
Then she had a laugh about how I would be big enough by then to roll down the hills ( needless, to say, she has no kids, hence has never been pregnant). At which point my mum, my sister-in-law and my other sister, shouted 'shut up' in unison. (my mum has 7 kids, sis in law 6 and my sister has 2)
I just want to say:
fnar fnar fnar, take that big sis!
