Cool he's started putting up his own videos now - this little bit (Wu Tang into Ace of Spades) was what he was playing the first time I saw him, outside the Dominion on Tottenham Court Road with it absolutely pissing down with rain.

Hello, dear

happyhippy posted:

Omagh used to have two great buskers.

Artyg, a true legend. Once played with Deep Purple, spent his time busking full drunk outside Wellworths. There's now a plaque where he used to be, hes dead now. He was that well known.
His death was in the Irish Times too: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/busker-with-a-free-spirit-and-heart-of-gold-1.987735

And Pink Panther man. He played the flute, and only knew one tune that gave him his name. He would play for HOURS.

I remember Wellworths :)

In my memory, everything in Wellworths was beige. The checkout ladies in the one in my town were that proper old school breed of checkout lady that is very rare to find these days. They would deliberately scan most other ladies' items (and also those of Peter Pansy, the town's only openly 1990s homosexual) at snail's pace so they could have a good, long gossip. People they had no interest in would on the other hand see their items pass through a blur of flailing arms onto the other side of the checkout at a speed that seemed to defy the laws of physics, and usually wouldn't even get eye contact, and would definitely get sighs and eye rolls if they dared do something so inconsiderate as start counting out change or getting out a cheque book. I remember one lady in particular who had a bowl cut hairdo dyed in that really much too black shade of black that hair dye used to be and for some reason she had decided to do away with her eyebrows and draw on pencil lines instead. To this day I'm not sure if she really was a perpetually angry woman or if it was just the way she drew on her eyebrows that gave that impression.

Yeah but steven crowder probably does want to gently caress his mam so that's more factually correct that jog on's effort.

Nah, but I bet you they selected the name to be as close as possible to it.
Only memories of Wellworths was that the pick'n'mix was near the front doors, so good to stuff your pockets and run.

My town had a Wellworths right beside the Woolworths. Basically the same supermarket stuff, but looked like it was stuck in the 80s.
Then they both closed :qq:

Busker chat:

I was at the world SF convention in Glasgow in August1995 and went for a walk quite early on the Bank Holiday Monday morning and this guy was busking with his flute in Princes St (?) which was quite empty. It was such a delicious sound in the fresh morning air. He had some self-released CDs "Floyds Dream" so I bought one. This is one of the tracks.

Oh yeah, there were three different Trot groups selling papers in Dalston today (including the obligatory SWP stall), interleaved with the normal god-botherers. It was certainly an interesting sight, and confusing enough I almost shouted "Google Comrade Delta" at the poor little old lady trying to give me a JW pamphlet.

There was a Christian "read Bible worship Jesus" tent and a Muslim "Koran is fact, love Jesus" tent right near each other in the street this morning.

All it was missing was a small booth between them with "We Are Jews - please leave us alone" on the signage.

Remember that cute kitty I've been posting this month? This one:

Saw a kestrel go for her, twice. Sure Kes had young 'uns, but kitty was no threat to them, she had mum poo poo to get on with. Spent the rest of the week out there on bird scaring duty (we also had a chicken disappear without a trace a few weeks back).

Trying to do a public service here, hope I'm not too late

E: oh & if I get more :thermidor: calls for posting that pic again, that's my parents' place & cost literally half what my one bed flat in Swansea did, including the ride on mower & enough land to need one. gently caress our property market
