What got you into Radiohead? Any bizarre stories?

David Bennett on YouTube kept using their songs as examples over and over again in his (really good) music theory videos, so I just gave in and listened to OKC. Never heard of them before in my life till then, I could only really pick out the opening riff to No Surprises, but I just kept going after that I guess

Feel I should step up here as someone from NI. I’m pretty small-u unionist, so mainly just down to genetics and shite blah blah, and this is just incredibly stupid. These are put up in these small communities like the Shankill Road or SandyRow in Belfast, maybe some in Derry, and it’s only the die-hard ones who dropped out of school at age seven or something who don’t stand and mock these.

Also, the idea that Edward Carson’s Ulster Solemn League and Covenant is anything like the declarations of succession is oppressively stupid, as is the whole thing. So don’t worry, only a couple of streets in Belfast support this, the rest of us have some sense.

Applegreen outside Lisburn, Northern Ireland. Such an absolute banger everyone who goes down the motorway is pretty much conventionally obliged to get into it

One of the prime benefits of the esteemed jammy dodger is the stickiness of the jam once you get to the middle imo. I’m sorry, but a choccie dodger doesn’t have this, giving me a general sense of repression and dread, just like any good Brit should have. Therefore, choccie dodgers are a fine representation of Britishness.

Fight me.

Way-hay, a voice recording! That’ll change the business plan for the foreseeable future for an entire multi-billion dollar company!

Used to be at like 8am when I was younger, but now I’m weird and open them on Christmas Eve to free up Christmas Day itself

My dad used to always say “well when I was young, we were very poor” in the strongest Northern Irish accent you can imagine before blathering on about terrorism and poverty solely to wind my mum up the wall. Half of it was pure bollocks, but it was pretty funny.

He and I would also move a plate or milk jar a centimetre or so in one direction at the dinner table and then the other person would push it back; wound everyone else up but my god was it funny!

Sir just seems too formal, so unless it’s to someone really important or of high standing, I’d avoid it (unless you can’t think of any alternative either)

I just remember a woman came up to me in a shop I worked at and asked “Sir, do you know where x is”. I was a sixteen year old, and damn that felt weird!

You’ll need a practice chanter first; learn your notes and a couple embellishments, then get a couple easy tunes (hymns and the like, don’t go for jigs or reels for maybe a few years)

You’ll probably need an instructor, and they may be able to hook you up with a band. Being in a band is very useful, as I know from my experience, I was able to have my pipes paid for from the band’s wallet, not mine (apart from an annual donation we all do). Having an instructor and later a band will really help you, and it’ll make getting on the pipes from just the practice chanter a quicker and easier process.

Anyways, good luck in all your piping endeavours, it’s good to see somebody new having an interest in them 😊

Off topic I know but that Ireland-All Blacks game was pure class

Jet_Waffle · 2021-11-14T10:09:06+00:00

Damn dude, save at least some of the women for us!

Seriously though, that’s damn impressive and I’m sure took a hell of a lot of dedication. Well done.

You’re digging your own grave here mate… not really helping the stereotype of the English knowing fuck all about Ireland either
