Dressing up as a G actually :pac: along with knacker drinking

I'm going as David Bowie in the Ziggy Stardust years. I will inevitably attempt to sing his songs tonight after I get a couple of bottles of wine into me.

I will inevitably attempt to rap. After a few drinks, it won't be pretty.

I was going to go as Woody from Toy Story. I was going to look class. Then my car decided to break down on the main street in Kilkenny at 11:15 this morning.

Had to get my dad to come out and try to jump start it. That didn't work. Had to leave it there and go back home. Then I had to pack my bag and make it up to Dublin Port for my boat across to Holyhead.

Long story short, despite my dad breaking the limit on many occasions we didn't make it. Had to spend the day in the library in the Ilac Centre. I'm currently on the boat going across to Holyhead. It's a pure disaster.

I'm going to arrive at 12:20. I've to drive one of the girls cars back to Bangor. I'm hoping that I can get back to my room by 1. If I manage that then I'm going to skull a naggin and head out. **** dressing up at this stage. The nightclub I'm hoping everyone is going to stays open until 3. If I can just get in then I'll be bang on.

I like to live life on the edge. Helps me to feel more alive :pac:.

I've only discovered this thread now.

I are genius.

I came home early. My Spanish neighbours seem to think I'm dead sound. Invited me out the next night. Can't wait. They're a sound bunch.

I had to stay at home last night. I had a ticket to go see Jack White, but my daughter was a bit sick, so the ,missus went without me. I ended up listening to the little one crying for about 4 hours straight.

Well, not 4 hours straight, there was a 10 minute period where she was shouting 'HELLO' at me. Turns out she wanted to play with a telephone. When she got her hands on the phone, she resumed the wailing, but with a toy phone pressed to her ear.

Good times.

I'm gonna have to stop coming home on random bikes at 4 in the morning, i have 3 now, the oul lad is not impressed. I also did significant damage to the ozone layer last night.

Dont even know why i'm up, my bed is calling me again

Not at all too young. I have my 2 little 'uns listening to hip hop. I was listening to the new Sean P album with the 4 year old the other day. He appeared to like it.
He also raps along to a few Beastie Boys songs.

My wifepiece has some taste, but rock orientated, and the kids sway more towards that now than hip hop.

Da Shins Kelly

This is a most brutal hangover.

You are doing the right thing, child shouldn't be growing up thinking x-factor is the height of entertainment and musical talent. They will be surrounded by children who do as it's all they will know.

I don't have a kid, but when I do they will know biggie smalls tunes from they're no age, along with plenty of other stuff like johnny cash, queens of the stone age etc.

Da Shins Kelly

If I ever have children I'd like to think I'd raise them with my musical taste, but I think kids have a tendency to go against their parents eventually in this matter. My father is still horrified that I grew to love hip hop. He just doesn't understand it at all and frequently has to have me explain its appeal. He's a Bob Dylan aficionado so I thought he'd at least appreciate the fact the music is so lyrics-focused, but he just doesn't get it. But then I don't think he understands anything that came after 1970.

If I misconstrued the post, I apologise but as somebody who has had more than one bike stolen, if your stealing bikes drunkenly, you're an ignorant piece of ****.

I wouldn't be putting them into hip-hop till they were old enough to understand the large gap between a lot of hip-hop music and reality, and that the language used and way they portray women isn't appropriate in the real world.

Not that I think hip-hop is responsible for corrupting today's youth, but at the same time kids at a young age are impressionable.

Hugely impressionable, but I think that at a young age they learn quicker that it's music and not reality. So later they can distinguish quicker.
At this time in thier life, they use music in activities and for background noise. Music starting and ending, or with a long pause has more of an influence rather than the subject matter.

Not all hip hop does that.

Sean P does!

I think kids can separate the two, and I think if the parents explain these things to them it's fine. If just be worried about them picking up language and not appreciating its meaning and context.

Dropping the n word in the wrong company could be troublesome!

I wouldn't expect it to bother you. It's not like I called you a decent person. Clearly somebody stealing bikes doesn't give a **** about others.

Keep doing you though. I'm sure you'll do magical things in life.

Jimmy Iovine

Student teaching students. Doing a postgrad in Wales in primary teaching.

Started teaching this week. Went alright. Some serious amount of paper work to be filled out though. I'm snowed under and it's only the second day. I've another 43 to go .

Have to correct 15 copies, do a lesson plan and evaluate my teaching and the pupils learning for tomorrow. I've to be up at 6.30. I'm giving myself till 2 and then I'm packing it in. Need to make my lunch as well before I go to bed.

It's my birthday this Friday. Safe to say I'll be drinking lots of pints that night and sleeping a **** load on Saturday.

Da Shins Kelly

Ugh. If there's one profession I could never excel in, it's teaching. No patience for that at all.
