Mötorhead have sold more tshirts than records.

I’d say that’s the case for many bands/artists.

Yeah Athy is rough. Always was. Newbridge rough enough too.

the Ramones come to mind

Bob Marley.

I dunno, he sold an unreal amount of records. I didn’t really appreciate what a global following he had while was alive til I watched the Marley documentary. Great film.

Ya top film. Funny how much everyone sells him down the swanny for his womanizing though. Jamaicans are hilarious, they really struggle to stay faithful.

Broad generalisation there Kev?

caoimhaoin · January 13, 2014, 3:31pm

Just based on my experiences . Very common for the men to have a wife and a girlfriend or two throughout the community I lived amongst. Very open about chasing tail as well , especially irish, but that maybe just because we were around a lot of them. Maybe it’s a white woman thing.

@Bandage has passed his drivers theory test. One giant step for the young man.

mickee321 · January 13, 2014, 9:29pm

The shithole to end all shitholes. It’s the closest thing to the depressing, small-minded cesspits that litter England that we have here. A serious blight on the county.[/quote]
England is an open minded country you thick irish shit

Yeah I’m sure the worlds greatest philosophical and artistic minds pine for the stimulating atmospheres of places like Slough, Toxteth, Hackney, Stoke, Bradford, Burnley, Dudley, Hull and Middlesborough. I could go on but the list is endless. Not like the bigotry and small-mindedness of Paris, Florence and Berlin, I tell ya.

flattythehurdler · January 13, 2014, 10:10pm

Maybe Berlin isn’t the best example.

ciarancareyshurlingarmy · January 13, 2014, 10:10pm

Any opportunity to post this…

Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough!
It isn’t fit for humans now,
There isn’t grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air-conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

Blake · January 13, 2014, 10:11pm

Berlin is the most forward thinking and open-minded city I have ever been to.

glasagusban · January 13, 2014, 10:12pm

Paris is full of cunts man.

Blake · January 13, 2014, 10:16pm

Not going to disagree, but at least they have culture.

glasagusban · January 13, 2014, 10:20pm

They live on a reputation for it alright. They have a culture of being cunts, but cunts are never cultured.

Fran · January 13, 2014, 10:21pm

yes, that and Amsterdam

glasagusban · January 13, 2014, 10:22pm

The Dutch are fierce racist.
