We have so many buskards here. One old bloke who plays the accordian, it sounds like french music, I walk down the street thinking i'm in France ffs, I have to order a bagguete on stick on a berr�.
We also have a little skinny girl with a black dog who plays the flute.
And a bloke who plays one big bongo, bong bong bong, shut up you annoying shit!
Also the big issue sellers, some I don't mind, you get the one's who are really enthusiastic about it, others just have this droning voice that doesn't appeal to the buyer.

well in ireland there not illegal or legal so they operate on the busiest pedestrain street in dublin grafton st and there is at least ten different buskers at any one stage and of course a massive circle around them is always enclosed. so you can't walk on the main street.
bloody tossers the lot of them

went pub, then decided to walk down to the cinema, ended up watching The Day After Tomorrow, what a piece of boring crap. But getting there was a fun adventure, we saw a weirdo on the top of hill 'playing' a saxaphone. The playing consisted of two high and low notes, repeated endlessly
I'm with you on this one, Day After Tomorrow was terrible!
There's a few street musicians in my hometown but not too many. They all seem to come out in the summertime, more tips from tourists I suppose. Some street musicians I've seen in the UK (Ireland and Britain) are pretty good, but a lot of them you just kinda step over or move around. And it's not like they go away - I've been to the UK 4 times in 10 years and I'd swear I saw the same ones.
The coolest street musican experience I had was in London in 1991. I was with friends, completely hammered, and we were taking the tube (late at night) to St. John's Wood to visit a friend. We were at the Picadilly station and going down those steep escalators. I could hear a deep droning sound, that got louder the deeper we went. At the very bottom was a grubby looking guy playing the didgeridoo, and he was playing it well, the sound reverberating all over the place (those tube stations have great acoustics!) It was almost creepy. Then again I was drunk, he might've completely sucked!
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

and anType, i'm not sure whether to ignore your comment about the chicken nuggets, but I don't quite understand where you are coming from. Maybe you are on some other level of humour, more advanced than I.

I like street performers. I was once with a bunch of friends and there was this guy playing the bagpipes on Queen St. for like 6 hours (or longer, we left while he was still playing)
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Never trust trailers. They make a film look great. Unfortunatly this isn't always the case. I think they should change it round and make really shitty trailers for good films, that way you can't be let down.

I enjoyed it. Cinema for the fast food generation. Tastes good but leaves you hungry.
Shrek 2 was delicious! ;-)
