To be fair, there are both types of pubs. Since I do not care for sports or fancy places, I always go to the more quaint ones. I love those links, by the way. Thanks a mil.

It just sums up so well why I do not deal with any religious people at all. The best they can hope for is me flipping them the bird.

Really? When I'm going to a pub in the UK it's called something like "The Old George" or "The King's Inn", the building must be a few hundred years old with a door frame so low it bonks any unsuspecting patron right in the head. There are at least two fireplaces lit, minimum requirement of one sleepy old dog who's been there since forever and all the furniture looks like it's been hand carved way before anyone came up with the idea of DIN standards. The only music playing is of course made by some fiddler and a patron singing off-key since they had at least a few pints too many.

I used to be straight edge (or queer edge?), but gave up a few years ago. I need my vices just so I don't feel dead inside 24/7.

I watched Gattaca for the first time and I introduced my partner to the movie Upgrade. Gattaca was an interesting piece to watch. After seeing Upgrade, both of us had to recover from the psychological trauma it caused. I've seen the movie quite a few times by now, but the ending still punches me in the gut.

Arthur Dent will be delighted about that news story.

And I just tested the hot sauce Da bomb beyond insanity. Long story short, it lives up to its name.

Mein bester Freund kommt aus Cork, er hat mal ein paar Tipps für euren Trip in den Süden aufgeschrieben.

nice pubs in cork: abbotts alehouse; my favourite pub, fantastic beer selection, staff and regulars are amazing for chats. bierhaus, friary, Franciscan well, sin e, coopers corner, Shelbourne, rising sons are all good places with either good irish trad scene or local breweries on tap, all fairly close to each other. There's also impala, the raven (awesome cocktails), the vicarstown, the roundy and the woodford for another cluster of nice pubs, some good food in basically anywhere between paul st and Patrick st, Washington st and oliver plunkett st have some great pubs and restaurants too. I might just put a blob over half the city centre and say 'go there'.

and for southern Ireland in general, Waterford is nicer than people would say, especially if there's a festival of some kind going on, there's like 3 picturesque towns per km of coastline for county cork and Kerry, with special mention going to dingle, bantry and kinsale.

activities in the city, I haven't looked too hard into but there's an opera house, crane lane seems to be the biggest 'casual music' venue with a few more smaller ones around, plenty boat ride stuff especially in cobh (short train ride out, basically bray without the delusion of being a different place) and a comedy club does regular amateur nights. I went on a nice tour thing of a chocolate factory as well. ^^

Those places are lovely, of course I know then - I'm from there :D

I'm queer and once had a date with a black woman from the States while living in Dublin, Ireland. She asked me if I could be her local tourist guide. Sure thing!

Walked her all across the shitty overpriced city centre. At some point she asked me:

"Am I the only black person around here?"

Eventually decided to ditch the CC and take a taxi to my local area.

Waltzed into my regular pub holding hands, cuddeling.

The entire place filled with white cis locals went dead silent like in a bad cliche movie.

"Harry, two pints of the black stuff, will ye?"

Peeps realised that at least I was a local and continued minding their own business.

Jeez...

 

Moin, ich trainiere mir schon längere Zeit mehr Schärfe an und ich suche nun nach einem DE Shop, wo man Packungen mit verschiedenen Sorten zum Testen und einzelne Flaschen erwerben kann, gerne auch exotische Varianten. Qualität und Preis sollten stimmig sein. Wer kann mir helfen?

 

Das nicht vegetarische Zeug ist Futter für den Hund - bevor ihr fragt. ;)

 

As a person who grew up in Ireland, being a drummer nerd myself, hats off! Such a sweet tribute to Shane. <3

 

Kennt eigentlich irgendjemand hier das tollste Buch von Douglas Adams? Last chance to see?

 

So, long story short: I've been a musician for pretty much all my life. After a massive hearing loss, I picked up drums about a year ago and I've had so many great teachers myself. Now the local music school asked me if I could teach drums to their kids. They lost their former teacher due to old age.

I have rarely dealt with children. Sure, I was a tutor for some when it comes down to languages, but teaching music? That is so new to me and I'm actually afraid.

I am all gauntles right now negotiating the deal here: I want espescially girls to learn a new intrument. They must be bored out of themselves just playing the flute, organ and piano.

So, my approach is probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL5oBbriJuQ

:D

Any hints or tips you can give me? Please?

I'm a 38 years old lesbian with basically no clue whatsoever when it comes down to dealing with kids... ^^

EDIT: I'm afraid the girls want me to play pop music on the drums, and I get easily bored by that.

Watch one of my drumming teachers.

So, last night I had to attend a wake. I don't know if it's only a European thing, my sisters overseas might have to google that one up just in case, but yeah, it was odd. At some point one of my best friends waltzed in with this HUGE guy, like 2 meters tall, and his tiny wife went along as well. My good friend apparently told them who I am, and the huge ass guy and his tiny wife immediately went FAN MODE:

Yoooo, your album from 2008 is in our cupboard!

I'm a shy person and being this overwhelmed with fans, that was very strange and scary to me at first. But we had a good run. Just talking about music nonstop.

To me, which I could laugh about, was the fact that I'm doing very, very different music these days, playing a different instrument, just doing my thing and yeah, I had to share phone numbers with them so I can share what I'm doing now.

A really, really weird, but fun night. Music nerds meeting another music nerd... :D

 

So, a bit of background about me. I play the drums for fun, used to be a professional musician in the past and basically quit after losing most of my hearing during a live gig with my former band back in 12/2008.

I only started drumming about 10 months ago, I became fairly good quick thanks to some amazing teachers, but only play in my rented session room 4 fun. That is my personal safe space and my version of self therapy.

There's no BS going on in there, just me, drums, a couch for naps, a laptop with webcam for my teachers and a mini fridge for cool drinks.

I suffer from Dysthymia and right now I'm going through a phase of so called double depression again thanks to new meds I couldn't deal with. My thoughts were getting darker and darker, which is almost impossible in the first place, and my energy levels went straight to zero.

Got a text message last night and I thought: 'Ughhh, what's it now? Who wants something from me?' while snug up in my bed.

Yeah, who was that? One of my amazing teachers from the States (I live in Europe) and he was like:

Yooo, haven't heard from you in like two weeks? You doing okay? You good? You haven't booked any new training sessions either.

Yeah, not doing so great right now. It is what it is. Can't say when I want to book a new session to be honest. Everything's fucked in my head right now.

How about you get your ass out of bed and jam with me? I don't want your money, I just want to play with you together, because I think you're awesome and I love your style. I'll never charge money from you ever again, that's a promise. I just want to play along with you, girl!

THAT was a huge compliment. A living music legend like him saying he likes my style?

So, I took my bicycle, hauled my arse over to my session room - which is about 25 minutes away in the middle of nowhere (I live in the countryside) and we just played for about 3 hours until we were both so exhausted, just laughing together, sharing stories and we kicked back a few cold ones via webcam.

That dude is so amazing and chill. And I want to thank him for getting me out of this very dark place last night.

<3

Sie sind eine der unausstehlichsten Rassen in der Galaxis - nicht direkt böse, aber mies gelaunt, bürokratisch, aufdringlich und gefühllos. Sie würden nicht einmal den kleinen Finger rühren, um ihre eigene Großmutter vor dem Gefräßigen Plapperkäfer von Traal zu retten, ohne dass Anweisungen in dreifacher Ausfertigung unterschrieben, eingereicht, zurückgereicht, beanstandet, verloren, gefunden, einer öffentlichen Untersuchung unterworfen, wieder verloren und schließlich drei Monate in weichen Torf gesteckt und als Feueranzünder wiederverwendet werden.
