I was briefly wondering why a magazine for librarians wanted to do a feature on the Pogues, but figured it was mr Wood's secret occupation or something like that.

More coffee. And I don't even like coffee.

Oh Cod, that'd provide the sole excuse for a shellfish punster like me to start a series of really fishy gags. Why? Just for the halibut... If I batter away at this, and ling-er too long, I won't have time to use my guitar tuna.... :wink:

Lend us ten squid and I'll fry you some ink.

The salad'd be nice with Bottle of Smokey Vinaigrette. Or Thousands Are Sailing To Ireland dressing, maybe. How about a slice of roast Body of An American?

Or the Turkish Pide of The Damned? :lol:

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

I'll have Hotdogs With Everything, The Fiesta Platter, some Squid Out of Water and maybe the Greenland Whale Fish lightly dipped in a Batter of Brisbane topped off with some malt vinegar... and I'll drink them down with Whiskey In The Jar!

Happy St Patrick's Day Fintan and Behan and everyone else on here

Philip, have a great night in NYC - wish I was there :cry:

When you have a minute would you tell me what kind of instrument a cittern is , please?

I've asked 4 local musicians what it is and they didn't know. I suspect they think I'm talking nonsense... :shock:

Well, this is not a definitive answer, but here's a brief explanation & some photos of citterns.

A Cittern is a large, 8-stringed instrument of the mandolin family, of 17th century vintage. It resembles both a mandola and a bouzouki

Sometimes they come as 10-strings. My cittern is an 8-string, similar to Terry Wood's as seen on the FoNY video. It can also be known as an octave mandolin, mandocello, bouzouki - It's basically a larger mandolin one octave lower than a mandolin and a deeper tone. Usually tuned E A D G

Here's a good representation. My cittern is the far left in comparison to the guitars and mandolin.
