Trouble at the Goose

I saw Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick back in the early 90s ... there where 2 women in the front row talking throughout one song, when the song finished he politely asked them to stop talking , they didnt stop they talked through the next song ... he was furious quite rightly ... when he had finished the song, he just lost it " LOOK ! JUST STOP TALKING OR F*CK OFF! " ...they left, good ol' Martin. :)

I always liked this sign at the late-lamented Luminaire up in Kilburn

I've seen the exact same sign at (I think) Water Rats.

Succinct and to the point !!

Flappers - you need to stencil that on to a board for your gigs...

might tattoo it to my forehead. :))

One of my favourite responses to talkers - from Jeff Tweedy of Wilco...

Flappers: "might tattoo it to my forehead. "

You could do, but when you're shopping or in conversation with strangers it could cause confusion !

Let's stick to the sandwich board plan..

Yeh Flappers, don't do it, thin end of the wedge.

Next thing it'll be DIY trepanning :))

I once read an article on somebody who did that. With a dentist's drill I think.

They said it was very important to get the measurements correct so as not to drill into the brain.

ETA: It was some New Agey trend, I think there was a theory that it was a fast way to enlightenment (fast way to death probably, so maybe they were right :)) )
