General discussion / Re: The Good Things I Saw Today

I was thinking that we are all gloomy this weather what with the weather, the economic situation and the students rioting in England. Throw on top of that the ice caps making the sea colder, Obama not doing things, the soccer and rugby teams getting beat again and all, maybe we need to look around us again and recount the good things we saw today or yestrerday.

For example, today I saw a man pushing a woman's car up a hill as it was slippy. She wasn't very good with the break and it rolled forward and sort of rolled over the man's arms as he had slipped too in front of it. Anyway, he got up and said 'ach it's alright' and they hugged. I thought it was touching.

That is nice.
Pitty you didn't get out and help the poor man.

If a dog continously runs away from home then its obvious it has a discipline problem.  Not really the dogs fault but more so the owners of said dog.  If the dog had been trained correctly when growing up and discipline enstowed from an early age, there would not be an issue and the dog would stay put.  The inept ability of the owner, in this case Tyrone Girl, to look after and raise a well mannered dog has resulted in nothing but a mut of an animal that is more hassel than its worth.  Im sure TG and her family are sick to the teeth of having to go and find the mut and take him from other people's houses, never mind the embaressment of contyinuly having to do it.  Im sure the other famly who's house the dog runs to must be wondering to themselves what kind of dogs owner TG is.  There is nothing more to gain from this dog, either sell the dog, send it to a pund or keep it tied up, harsh i know but its not the dogs fault, TG has clearly done a poor job bringing the animal up.

Talk is cheap. We need cash. What are you willing to contribute...?

Good thoughts and a positive outlook is what I will contribute.

If the Nordies gave us $1000 each per year we'd be set........how about it lads ?

We gave yous the chance to run your own country and yous fooked it up. Time Ireland was reunited with the UK in my opinion. All decisions made in the main land.

Get yourself a metronome to keep time to, or play along with tracks for basic rythmn skills.

If you need to count in your head, just do it.

Once you get basic timing down you should be able to progress.

I think it's just like everything else, walk before running.

Sound advice.
My tip would be that, if there is drumming in the song, listen to the drum rhythm and strum along to that - if not, try and listen to how the guitarist is strumming on the song. For me, this is as important as learning the chords - have heard so many guys who can master the chords wreck a song by not strumming properly.

If you want, you could even buy a set of cheap bongos to play along to songs with - this will help build the rhythm in your head.

I have also found the following songs as a good starting point, both in D, with chords G and A - can post the chords up if anyone wants them.

Will ye go Lassie go
and The Man who can't be Moved by The Script

Post the chords and strumming pattern for The man who cant be moved. Please.

Adam Hammill is tearing up the championship at the moment with his electric pace. Shame he didn't get the chance with Liverpool. Could see some premier league clubs looking him in the summer.

After refusing to go forward at anytime on Saturday it is rumoured that Man City will be trying to sign Audley Harrison







This joke combines both Audley's poor performance together with Man City's current attacking abilities. Its a two-fer.

Collar on the dog with contact number?  Bit of a lesson there if not.


Well TG...a small job for the weekend for you?  And a lesson for the rest of the pet owners.

Glad it worked out this time, but you have to agree the pain could have been a lot shorter with a collar and a contact number...right?

Are you selling the bloody collars?
