Everyone knows a guy that brings an acoustic guitar to every party he goes to, just invite that guy to play at the wedding. That's the Band cash saved.

If you get onto Snapchat and get a very specific geo-filter setup for the wedding it might only cost you <€200. Simply ask all guests to save their stories, and you're sorted.

Alternatively, don't get married and save the cash that way.

Oul ones always love a band and a good band will get everyone up dancing. We had "boogie nights" and they were very good. I wanted "the bootleg beatles" but they wouldn't commit to the date incase a festival came up (even a full payment up front wouldn't swing them).

Dj was a tosser. I had 4 cds of music made up in advance - everything from the stone roses to the smiths, oasis, blur etc...basically the music of our younger days and our friends. No he decided to play things like the rave version of the fields of athenry and just general pop of the day crap.

I was too busy boozing and schmoozing to bother giving out to him but it was bad form from him.

I reckon awec is going to be on here steady for the next few months!! No pressure big man!!

The Bootleg Beatles are worth seeing in their own right. Absolutely excellent group.

awec · 23-03-2016 10:18PM

Ha!

We're going to see a band on Saturday night, we've decided unless they blow us away we're calling it quits on a band.

Our DJ is good, he's a friend of hers.

Last wedding I went to was a cracking day until the band started....C&W and the first song before the couples dance was Wagon Wheel

They're mad for C&W up North. Can't jive to anything else.

NO we were all in bed by eleven, it was a desperate place.

Why would you hire a DJ and give him CDs to play? Seems like a complete waste of money.

rsh118 · 24-03-2016 07:20AM

Don't start me on wedding stuff. 'Hair cut? €5. Wait, wedding haircut?? €50 cheers!'

Half the time I swear it's just for the additional pressure on them to deliver something half-decent!

It made sense at the time!! He had all the gear - cd changers, amps, speakers etc but I wanted to make sure the music was good.
I was at one wedding before in Mayo and the dj just played everything from Nirvana to The Cure. It was brilliant!! No oul fuddy duddy C+W or generic pop music. All the people of the ages of the bride and groom never left the dancefloor!!

Drove through a 'Dry County' in Kentucky before.

I could feel my skin crawl.

Was it called Bourbon County? I think Jim Beam's distillery is actually in a dry county.

Big Bang theory is the worstest. Anyone who thinks it's funny needs to go evaluate themselves.

awec · 24-03-2016 12:06PM

I'm pretty sure jaco only watches it for yer ones baps.

Teferi · 24-03-2016 12:13PM

The Big Bang Theory is completely vanilla, it's neither good or bad, it just is. I'll happily have it on in the background if I'm surfing or something like that.

I've always thought that people who actively dislike it probably see a little too much of themselves in the caricatures displayed...

You're all autists, basically.

Yeah big bang theory is gash. Tried to watch it once or twice and don't get what the fuss is about.

That's quite impressive, did you buy a mount for your tablet on the board or something?

Completely. I'm an absolute nerd, and they don't represent that correctly. I'm outraged.

As I mentioned on the other thread, I studied theoretical physics for a large number of years in several places. The characters are crude stereotypes of what people think these people are like in my experience. I understand the concept of exaggerating and stereotyping in a comedy but it really did bug me for a long time.

Most highly successful physicists are the same as highly successful people in other fields. They're annoying good at everything, including getting along with people (it's actually incredibly important these days).

Now mathematicians...those ****ers are weird.

I see New Zealand has voted to keep it's flag as is.

Shame, some of the new designs were pretty cool.

This one, for example.
