Anyone ever get annoyed...

I was on a training course at work last week and for the introduction we were asked to draw somebody we would like to be stuck in a lift with(seemed pointless but whatever). Anyway I drew a piss poor picture of Shane and everyone knew who it was from the picture. Probably going back to the teeth thing here!!.
ps - i don't think i would really like to be stuck in a lift with Shane, it would probably scare the shit out of me

my maths teacher called him an ugly old drunk, i forgot to get my assignment(on what's most important too us which obviously would be shane) so my friend brought it to my maths room, and he got it and said 'The pogues!!?? you like the pogues!!!?? Fairytale of newyork was, good, but gee he's an ugly old drunk isn't he?' When he saw the look on my face when he said that he just laughed. Have i already said that???
i got an A though

for the assignment.

I personally think he's incredibly attractive and so cool because he doesn't seem to give a shit and his voice breaks my heart...and he has something about him that makes us all want to protect him.

I'm lucky to talk to people who even know who he is! A shame more people don't appreciate him truly.

Shane walks out onto the stage with a cup of some kind of pink drink. No problem there, but about half-way through the show, he starts puking up pink stuff all over the stage. Then some roadie somes out, cleans it up with a rag, and tosses the rag into the audience. She turns about as white as a sheet and starts demanding that we leave right then and there. I managed to convince her to stay for the rest of the set, at least, but I missed the encore.

For the rest of the marriage, any time I tried to play a Pogues CD, I heard the comment, "That's the guy who threw up, isn't it?" and the CD would get changed to something else soon after.

Haaha and for how much did it turn up on Ebay?

The rag not the wife of course :wink:

I always thought this must be one of the biggest compliments one can get cos that would mean that the song must be so good to have survived lots and lots of years.

When me and my former band played our very first gig (which was part of a festival and we merely did nine songs), one of the songs we played was an original song from me. Afterwards some people came up to me and told me that they couldn´t tell which one was the "odd-one out". Maybe they didn´t mean it that way, maybe they felt that my song was lacking some kind of originality, but to me it was some sort of compliment, really.

Actually that's a very perceptive comment, Duke. And I think it was Billy Bragg that I heard saying something similar recently. So you're in good company there.

But back to Shane. Isn't he the one with those horrible teeth, and is always drunk, cannot sing properly etc? I blame that bad crowd he runs round with.

i get annoyed when people mention him to me too

Anyone ever get annoyed...
