Re: the last pint - hornpipe

This is ridiculous.

If you are looking for a tune, the first thing you should do is go to the tunes section and search for it:

http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/223

I've made this very, very clear on the "submit a discussion" page where it says:

"If you are looking for a tune, please look in the Tunes section first. Please keep tune requests to an absolute minimum - they generally don't make for very interesting discussions. If you do request a tune and somebody subsequently posts it to the Tunes section, please take the time to add a few words of thanks."

Now, would it have killed you to, luska, to have actually done that?

Luska, how small do you feel?

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

and how big do you feel, WW3 looming and it's still cool to bicker.
Genius thinking. Do go on.....

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Leave Jeremy be. You have no idea how many things he deals with here on this free (to you, but not to him) site, and the massive headaches he has to endure for his charity. Luska, don't worry about it, we've all made mistakes along those lines, just please do a search first before posting in the discussions.

What?....

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

You seem confused Domhniaill. Is something not clear to you? :-)

I wasn't bickering. I was, however, understandably peeved that someone had started a discussion without first reading the guidelines that appear on the "submit a discussion" page.

Normally, if there was inappropriate discussion started, I would just delete it and send an email to the person who submitted it. But this one was so ridiculous I just had to say something in public, as it were.

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

I may be very wrong, but was Domhniall not addressing Dow in his comment?

Apologies in advance if I'm mistaken.

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

cait - you're right. Even so, it was probably unwarranted.Sorry.

Re: an apologise to jeremy

Luska: don't worry about it - it was an overreaction.

Domhniaill: you'll see now that I wasn't protesting because I "think it's cool to bicker". Sometimes when you post on the internet it pays to put yourself in the receiver's shoes. Otherwise people's feelings get hurt and it creates a bad atmosphere. After all, we're all human - not just a screenname...

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

No worries :-)

# Posted on March 8th 2003 by Dr. Dow

No problem Luska !

Hello Luska

How do you progress with the low whistle ?
Have you learnt the piper grip ?
Do you learn tunes ?

Don't worry about the litte problem that happened !

Slan go foill

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Luska - Don't worry, Be happy.
If you feel your English is a problem (which I don't think it is) maybe say you feel it is, at the beginning of your post. People will understand.
Dow - I get your drift now - you were being sympathetic to Luska, but I have to say it did sound like kick a man when he's down. For that reason I became incensed and hit back with supercillious sarcasm on his behalf. Maybe an extra sentence by way of explanation would have sorted it.
Anyway let's all shake metaphorical hands and make up!

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Whoops :-) I did think your reaction was untypically aggressive for you Danny... looks like everyone's misunderstood everyone else!

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Just a wee point on this in defence of Luska- I can't always find a tune on "search" too easily as if there's an S on the end or a "the" in the title and I've not put it then it doesn't show. Too specific or not specific enough info means you don't always find a tune for a few tries at least and I'm not thick and English is my first language.

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

If you leave off "the", the tune will still come up.

Searching for "bucks of oranmore" or even just "bucks" or "oranmore" will bring up "The Bucks Of Oranmore".

Searching for "the last pint", "last pint", "last" or "pint" will all bring up "The Last Pint".

# Posted on March 9th 2003 by Jeremy

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

I've spent many a dry evening searching for the last pint, but I've never had to bring it up!

Sorry...

# Posted on March 9th 2003 by Rudall the time

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Never brought up that last pint, Danny? You've obviously been quite the model of decorum... :)

# Posted on March 9th 2003 by Zina Lee

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

No - but I may have brought up the nine before that.

Re: the last pint - hornpipe

Wow! 'I could murder a pint' after reading that lot.

So about this last pint. The Lunasa tune book has two versions, one in Bb and one in Gmin. The one on this site is Gmaj. To my dull ears the Bb version sounds better than Gmin on the flute but Gmin is a bit easier to play on the mandolin. Any reason why this tune should come in three flavours?

Lager, Heavy(or Bitter) and Guinness

Bouzyboy
Look in your book again -Bb and Gmajor are the two keys shown -I think you've had too many "Last Pints"!
(especially in my company!)
