You just can't stop with the vegetarian food references can you?

They have yet to add the "yurt classes"

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 8:47, Reply)

I'm sure it is my cultural life that keeps me above those technical middle class types, like Boyce.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 8:49, Reply)

cultural as in 'pertaining to yoghurt', right?

I think mine drags me down, I'ma bit of a luddite really

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 8:51, Reply)

In spite of your expensive education, you think the term Luddite refers to whether you go to the theatre or not.
Are you much of a disappointment to your parents, or is one of your siblings even worse?

Actually i know it doesn't but it's early, I've been up since 5:30 and I couldn't be bothered to think of the correct term :p

Nakers' place is so assured he doesn't really need to use any of his education.

class is about attitude
it's about knowing in your bones that you are better than someone else, regardless of all evidence to the contrary.

There was a ghastly boy in my brother's year who was precisely that.
He would sit in class paying no attention whatsoever, reading fucking yacht prospectuses and genuinely had no need of any qualifications whatsoever. He could have done with some self-defence classes as he was beaten round the head almost daily with heavy books.

He now earns several times what you earn.

Pesky birds gang up and chase him off the best scavenging spots.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 9:14, Reply)

He owns a television production company which his father bankrolls.
It loses money all day long but that doesn't matter. I think he got a fucking Ferrari or some repulsive vehicle for his 21st. The oik.

I like their lead singer, Barry Bulsara.

Another of Cov's finest.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 9:26, Reply)

Are they still going?
On another note (see what I did there?) did you manage to get to the McCarthy gig at the Dog?
(Captain Placid 24/7 ball gags, brownie mix and clown porn, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 9:32, Reply)

Nope - Kevin Dempsey is still about and one of the others runs ArtSpace on Lower Holyhead road.
I did see Martin Carthy.
It was very strange to be back in the Dog after all these years - spent pretty much every Friday night in there from age 15-19.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 9:34, Reply)

Dunno why I called him McCarthy! Was it a good gig?
As you are somewhat younger than me I don't suppose you remember a Cov folk scene regular from the late 70's/early 80's called John Shanahan? I only ask because I recently found him on FB and he sent me a copy of his album (remember those) called 'Dance of flies' - really good stuff lyrically and musically.
(Captain Placid 24/7 ball gags, brownie mix and clown porn, Wed 3 Apr 2013, 9:38, Reply)

Yeah, he was on good form and played two sets.
Don't know Shanahan, but I am considerably younger than you ;)
