    <insert South Park video reference here>

    Lived beside a feckin' army of them in my last place. Would be hearing bongos and flutes into the early hours.

    Nice chaps, though they got stung by the TV License Inspector :D

    I will never be able to truly appreciated 'The Sound of Silence' again after their butchering. So loud, so incessant, so pointless.

    Those guys are everywhere! When I was backpacking around Europe I ran into them several times in different countries. I didn't even run into them in big main cities it was smaller places on the way to big places. I as really beginning to freak out that they where following me or just figments of my imagination.

    I know. Theres groups of tin-whistlers in Lima facing the same problem.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Some of us just happen to inhabit a space where the air is thick with respect and empathy for other cultures.

    And drums.

    And ethnic skullcaps.

    Racist.

    I saw them a couple of weeks ago beside the James Joyce statue off O'Connell Street in Dublin and a few days later on Henry Street and Grafton Street on the same day. I'm super cereal guys, there's something going on here.

    Hare Krishnas seem harmless enough, Those flute players are kinda creepy the way they just stand there playing their instruments coldly staring at passers by. I never seen anyone buying anything off them either, how did they make the money to travel around Europe?

    A lot of buskers do paid gigs and just busk on the side. Beyond thta, you sould like one of those people that doesn#t like things because they're different... Can#t remember the technical term.

    EDIT - yes Ican, "Joe Duffy callers"

    Agree and yes I did wonder how they earned their keep. I guess their bags are full of stuff but not CDs?
