I mentioned to Emmet who's 4 and has developed an interest in pirates that it was on, and regretted it immediately. It'd scare the shit out of him (not to turn this thread into a discussion of POTC, mind). Well, you’re safe until they start paying up.

No buskers I saw a bit of POTC2 the other night. There was plenty of snooty sailors, slimy hair, ugly faces marked with scurvy and pimples and bad impersonations of ex-junkie rockstars, but scarcly any hooks. It was all a bit 'singer-songwritery' to be honest. I should write up a comments policy.

Or some vandalised mock-classical thing on the Southside... Rollicking enough number alright. I'll have to check and see if any <i>introspective singer-songwriters</i> are among the albums ye 'borrowed' off me sometime before the Celtic Tiger. Might explain where my copy of 'John Waters Acoustic at the Crossroads' went to... Also - once the singer-songwriters have finished with ye, I fear the PC Brigade are gonna be released for the first part of their name :) Is that Sainters in the picture ??

You think Astral Weeks is a pox on Irish culture? I'll tell you what's a far bigger "pox on Irish culture" and that's the insidiousness and ubiquity of alcohol sponsorship of Irish cultural events. Yet you're deriding an entire artform. Sorry I responded to this thread. Good luck to you sir.
