And if any further evidence were needed…

…that the smoking ban was a ‘bad thing’ then this should do it.
It has given rise to cleaner and better sounding accordions.
Bring back smoking in bars before it’s too late.

Does Lucky whack (un)musical instruments?
I’d have accordians, Bodhrans and MacDara .

Also means louder and smellier farts, which is almost as bad.

Bring back smoking in bars, and have silent accordion players lining the walls. They’ll filter the air while the rest of us relax.

the smell of piss and shit is delightful in the pubs since the ban , fucking pen pushing cunts in the government fuck the smoking ban and fuck the government

Would have been much better to have banned pensioners.

I have just read in the UK that smokers may face charges if caught driving and smoking

Stupid cunt quoted as saying
“If you’re lighting up with one hand and have a fag in the other hand then obviously you’ve not got any hands on the wheel.”
Only if you smoke two at once, you prick, when I light one up I need to have it in my mouth, thus leaving one hand on the wheel.
Why are these fuckers persecuting me?

But can we still drive and play the accordion?
And it was much better when a guy could count on the smoke to cover up the perfume of some tart he was chatting up all night before he went home to his family.

A Irishman is walking through a field when he sees a man drinking water from a pool
with his hand.
The Irishman shouts “Ná ol an t-uisce, ta sé lán de chac bo” (Don’t drink
the water, it’s full of cowshit.)
The man shouts back “I’m English mate. Speak English, I don’t understand you”.
The Irishman shouts back “Use both hands, you’ll get more in.”

It’s been said more than once that the sign of a gentleman is the guy who has an accordion, but doesn’t actually ever play it.
September 28th, 2007 @ 2:19 pm
I completely disagree with that article. Smoke and accordions go wonderfully together. Specially if you pour plenty of kerosene over them first.
September 28th, 2007 @ 2:19 pm
problem solved – the new and/or improved A.R.S.E 9000 (acordion respiration system (external))

This was a story on CBC radio last night.
Good grief.
September 28th, 2007 @ 3:35 pm
I do like that quote, Matt, but you have to question why a gentleman would have such beastly apparatus in the first place.
September 28th, 2007 @ 3:47 pm
That’s possibly the best article I’ve ever read in my life.
September 28th, 2007 @ 4:52 pm
The best accordian players are mimes.
September 28th, 2007 @ 5:01 pm
my little laddie is so large i have to fold it like an accordian to get it into my Yfronts, it also smokes in bed and is sometimes guilty of burning rubber, im a guilty of destroying the earth or just giving pleasure where needed. please dont judge me.

How do you know if the floor is level at a trad session?
Accordion player drools out both side of his mouth…
September 28th, 2007 @ 5:24 pm
has anyone heard of the mountain mens new instrument, it called the hammering-codyokes, they lay their bollix on a wooden stump and bash them with a mallet socked in acid..they also yodel.
September 28th, 2007 @ 6:10 pm
and if any further evidence were needed… that doctors are not overworked and don’t deserve a pay rise, that article was it. obviously doctors are so bored and have so much time on their hands they can carry out vitally important research such as this. whinging layabout type cunts.

Johnny Rotten, you forgot to add the heavenly stench of perspiration mingled with copious amounts of rank perfumes and deodorant. I don’t frequent bars, but if I did I’d wear an Russian gas mask – I don’t drink either (what a lame bastard, huh!) so I could just leave it on all the time and suck some shitty juice from a carton through a straw without taking the mask off. Hmmm, might patent the idea!
September 28th, 2007 @ 8:46 pm
PIP says ” I don’t frequent bars ”
What the fuck else is there to do in Poland ?
September 28th, 2007 @ 8:47 pm
paddy in poland,i hope u carry a rape alarm……
September 28th, 2007 @ 9:28 pm
Paddy – are you sure you are Irish as in born here? Go on, you’re really an Irish American, aren’t ya, nudge, nudge
September 28th, 2007 @ 10:54 pm
Paddy in Poland are you a plumber? If you are will you come back home right now as i have a hole in my micky that is leaking.
September 29th, 2007 @ 4:36 am
I heard that doctor on a BBC interview this morning.For.Fuck’s.Sake.
Trust me….he sounds just like you’d imagine an accordian playing doctor would.
September 29th, 2007 @ 9:48 am
Like a complete cunt then…
September 29th, 2007 @ 10:06 am
I think I may have to take up smoking, move to Ireland and deliberately smoke in front of those fuckers. It would be worth the cost of airfare and bail just to annoy those cunts.
September 29th, 2007 @ 11:31 am
I’ll bet those McCann Doctors are non-smoking accordian players. The cunts.
September 29th, 2007 @ 2:06 pm
Swinging!

10 Park Drive – domestic gatherings are the quintessence of social life here. Many of the bars are dens with no air-conditioning, but with shit loads of atmosphere.
There’s lots to do here, just depends what tickles your fancy.
qw – why the fuck would I carry a rape alarm? People who wear Russian gas masks are hardly a source for arousal in fellow human beings! Unless you’re totally fucked up and enjoy such kinky stuff.
Celia Larking – Am I fuck an Irish American. A pure big ignoramous from Offaly am I with lots of bog still in my veins. Irish American, jaysus, where the fork did that come from?
Are there Irish Americans under 30 who don’t drink?
Little Laddie – the whole in your mickey that’s ‘leaking’ is a completely normal situation for human beings. You see, mickey’s do that on occasion – you just have to learn how to control the outflow and all will be rosey.
Just take your little weener to the nearest toilet or hole in the ground, point it downwards, release the tension in your muscles, and enjoy the deposition of urine from your body. Keep an eye on the flow direction as it takes a little time to master the process of daydreaming while still hitting bullseye.
After some time you will begin to feel comfortable enough to go back into social fields and mingle amongst other weeners and punanis without having steam rising from your genital area as a result of the aforementioned ‘leak.’
Remember, it’s a little rude to piss in your pants in public, so you should always try to find a car wheel, tree, or toilet to do your business in private.
You will probably soon find that when the pong of pee is no longer surrounding your body you may find a little lassie who will teach you some other things about the outflow of other fluids from your little john thomas.
Best of luck, and don’t be afraid to ask for more advice if the problem persists.
By the way, I did a little plumbing in New York 6 years ago while playing a bit of hurling and gaelic – just in case you were wondering about my credentials.

Smoking accordian players should take pleasure in going to pubs and polluting the atmosphere with their instruments!!
September 30th, 2007 @ 4:37 pm
Paddy in Poland :- I just spent two weeks in England. There can not be many Poles left in Poland.
September 30th, 2007 @ 7:05 pm
Smoking is great.
September 30th, 2007 @ 8:24 pm
Yeah, hence the rapidly falling unemployment rate that the government over here falsely hails as proof of their economic policies – indeed, despite unprecedented growth at 7% foreign investors are still wary due to the unstable political environment. Elections will be held here on Oct. 21st – smoking in pubs will not be on the tips of most people’s tongues, but such a ban is slowly creeping in here also in line with E.U. regulations.
The beginning of a huge election campaign from the leading political parties has already commenced in Ireland and Britain.
Anyhow, not to digress too much from Twenty’s original post. I do hold some pity for the poor committed addicted smokers when the ban eventually does come to Poland. They’ll have to bear the brunt of brutally low temperatures at the height of winter season(it reached -27 degrees C in Warsaw 2 February’s ago).
14drd- yeah, cancer rocks!
September 30th, 2007 @ 9:22 pm
Fucking accordions. Seamus Ennis was once asked the best way to play the bodhran and he replied “Wit’ a fuckin penknife.” I can only agree and suggest the best way to play the accordion is with a steam roller. Preferably with the accordion-player still strapped to it. How do you know there’s a ceili band at your door? Someone knocks twice, then every cunt comes in at once.

Paddy in poland, the proplem i have is my micky is leaking lava!
September 30th, 2007 @ 11:33 pm
Paddy from poland, your a plumber which is as useful as aa doctor sometimes, does the lava leakage mean my bollox are about to erupt, i only ask coz i put on a clean pair of knickers three weeks ago and i dont want to have to change them unless necessary.
October 1st, 2007 @ 12:11 am
Little Laddie
1) I’m not a plumber
2) The thread is not about volcanoes
3) The thread is not about knickers
4) I think you need professional help
I’m glad that we can enjoy better music with healthier lungs since the smoking ban. Seems like a win-win situation to me.
October 1st, 2007 @ 11:33 pm
Paddy from Poland, i have a micky that when it sings sounds like it is yodeling in a gurgling fashion because of the lava…can you get me professional help in the way of an agent..i know plumbers have these contacts.
October 5th, 2007 @ 11:54 pm
‘Doctors in St Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin carried out a survey of people involved in the care of accordions.’
haven’t they patients to help???
