Baby wipes and a bit of gentle scrubbling (if that doesn't sound too oxymoronic) are good for getting rid of the adhesive from price labels without damaging the book or whatever.

Got a book in the post today with three labels, each one overlapping the next. The top one was telling me that there was a price label underneath. Fucking hell.

First World problems boi ha ha

Indeed. Drives me nuts though. Hard to remove labels on, say, digipaks or book covers. Fuck that.

Drunk wankers. I did sound for a pop covers band in a pub last night, very last minute gig just because the restrictions were lifted. The absolute arseholes you have to deal with is unbelievable.

Some pissed oul wan comes up rubbing her tits up on my arm...
"Get them to shout out my mates birthday"
"I'll see what I can do"
"Is that a yeah or no"
"It's a I'll see what I can do".

One dickhead comes up to me three times, the last time pretty aggressively, complaining they haven't played fucking Bob Marley, I have nothing to do with what they play will you fuck off!

Then afterwards a lad comes up to me complaining the band wouldn't let his missus get up and sing a song.

The absolute entitlement of some of these wankers is amazing.

 :laugh: sounds horrific.

Pub cover bands in general can fuck off. Always absolute bottom of the barrel shite. Here in the Midlands almost every pub within a 50 mile radius of Athlone is obsessed with live bands and it's either two fat fucks and a drum machine, or a shite covers band with a girl on vocals.

Round at the in-laws today for the wife's Dad's birthday. Over 3 fucking hours of folks talking about COVID! Who's had it. Who tested negative. Who's had it twice. How Shiela across the road never caught it when the husband and kids had it. Fucking insufferable!

There should be no more talk of it. The gallows for anyone that does.

Anyone who discusses it should be made to set up an account here and then instantly banned. It's the only way they'll get the message.

Woah there, tiger! Bit harsh, no?

Ah you're right. I was channeling my inner Alan Hitler there.

'Hollywood comedian'... now there's an oxymoron if ever there was one.

What is the story with it so. Genuinely curious? I was in Fibber Magees after Meshuggah last played and got talking to some Russians. It was just after they re took Crimea. Sound enough people and the craic was good.  They raised a toast to Putin. I enquired why. They started to say how he was taking back ancestral homeland. I said the last person to do what Putin did in Europe was Hitler. They did not like that at all.

Amazing story. The fact that you didn't get your head smashed in that is....
