    Aye, that's what I hated most about college. Pretentious pricks in wooly sweaters murdering Hey Jude, Son Of A Preacher Man and Wonderwall.

    *shudder*

    If this is saying that, because we don't like some banjo picking gob****e murdering a crap middle of the road song at 2 in the morning, we have no culture then I'm ok with that.

    And what's with all these miserable trad songs at a session? It's all

    "The Tans came and shot my spuds,
    and me cattle fell off a cliff,
    like in the ending of The Field only worse,
    and the wife got leprosy and died too,
    on the night of the big wind struck so it t'was,
    Well I took to the bed for the rest of my days,
    oh and I'm a raging alcoholic too in case you didn't know"


    A bit of optimism wouldn't go astray like.

    They are not as annoying as people who use faux-gansta words.

    Are we just all using the n-word casually now? Must have missed that email.

    If you want to play the guitar in public, then learn it first. Maybe even take a few lessons. And strumming doesn't count as playing.

    With the trend in small guitars, expect to see them on public transport and at your favourite chipper ;-)

    Sitting in the corner, spitting out tunes randomly to show off. Im sick of it niggas, sick and tired of it. Theres only so much Jeff Buckley I can listen to.

    Favourites include:

    Kings of Leon
    Jeff Buckley
    James Blunt


    I blame the women, flocking to these with a wet stain like a snail following them. Thats great and all, you do what you gotta do to get that tail, but I came here to have the craic, a few beers and a laugh, not for you to have impromptu performances.

    How do you guys feel? Are you one of them? If so, whats your motivation?:mad:

    I think most people are just being polite TBH. I've been at house parties where someone started playing in the living room, without asking and when everyone was talking. Seriously egocentric.

    The correct protocol there is to leave immediately.

    Don't think I've been to a party where that's happened but it has happened in a pub.

    Myself and a few mates having a laugh over a few pints. All of a sudden these lads walk in with instruments. We still sup away our pints only to be "shhhed" by all and sundry as we're forced to listen to a young lad from Skibereen getting tied up for stealing a spud or some shíte.

    Wouldn't have minded but it wasn't advertised outside or inside the pub.

    Needless to say we left soon after that.

    Yup, guitar guy is one of the worst at a party. Next up are the people who shush you and force you to listen to guitar guy.

    And the said guitar guy does a bit of slow strumming with his eyes closed giving us the background to the song he wrote and uses the line "and it goes something like this"
    Followed immediately on the first sung note by raised eyebrows and protruding chin .
    Every time .

    I quickly left a house I was renting when some tosser started playing at a party we were hosting once. Went to my then gfs house. Unknown to me my house mate also scarpered. There were only two of us renting at that time.

    The party must have continued without us. To be fair they didn't wreck the place, probably Jeff Buckley sobered everybody up. Somebody even cleaned up a bit.
