As with any pub so does this one have a TV on the wall ... interesting to hear what this CIA lad has to say hm ...
https://youtu.be/61rCf7INomY?si=ZNVN7qgit6adIeln

Nice mask!

My little double-face has seen better days, looking like he could use a pint.



Cheers!

Drinks are on the house always and forever! Cheers! That mask is cool!

Im to get 50 years old in a few days and was thinking of getting myself a special present. Nothing too expensive, but most certainly crazy. I would say as batshit crazy as I once was (or still am)! For those of you who love music and music gear, this synth-like fuzz might give tons of fun! Im just discovering its many sonic possibilities! Yes, yes, I've opened the present before the actual b-day, so what!  
https://youtu.be/LqfzllE_YQc?si=WwuSqrbfItyl1nZg

Tonight at the pub of the last port, please welcome the band Ladaniva (an Armenian-French band)
https://youtu.be/jgwInM9Y8Tc?si=StGstQ7vbu6S-WFu

We continue with the Ladaniva band but tonight with a Gypsy twist! Cheers! 
https://youtu.be/-GW0-5M2Tk8?si=WrhMTw5J46AUVxJ0

Baaahiiiyyaaaaaa! Do you think Im to drink alone in this damn pub?! You and your darn calfs and cows! 

Nice setup! Nostalgic too, I haven't played much in a long time.

Happy day to you!

This pub has a stage. It's not much. A few wood pallets high but nailed in solid. 
Get up there! It's a free mic night every night! 

You would not believe what I'm doing now! For three days I'm fighting to fix our pellet burner and I just can't get it to work. Now trying some strange settings in its computer while sipping beer! It seems to work great for about 2 hours and then stops saying "no flame at the sensor" and yet all works great for so long! What?!! Mara is trying to puss me off! It's close to midnight and im still observing the burner to see what happens when it actually stops!!!! 


​​​​​​​

Om Tare Tu Tare Ture Rioja! 

This establishment sucks! 

This Sunday I'm turning 50 so you better turn up here for the eternal party! Presents are welcome of course! 

I can give you a hand with the pellet burner, I'll bring the gin & tonic. Happy 50 years on earth Dusko!

Thanks, Jure!  

I think I've managed to fix the pellet burner! It is now working well and I'm carefully fine-tuning it! Oh gin and tonic is a fine drink! 

Happy Belated Bday Papa !!

Congrats on the big 5 0  !

Cheers lads!  

Booked Ali in for the weekend, not so fresh off his tour of the Styx...

Nice! 

I'm sorry Papa Che, two weeks is a little late for congratulating someone on their birthday (still hope you had a good one though), so i will congratulate you on your 18641th day on this earth.

As a present a fun fact about the number 18641: because it's unlikely to have a score of 18641 in a soccer match, the number is seen as irrelevant to major league soccer statistics by most people. 

Now enough with the chitchat, as a Dutchman the free drinks got me here. 

Always nice to hear some long blues tunes on the jukebox
​​​​​​​https://youtu.be/hEQ84gNyd1A?si=skSmXW1Eq2_dsBvC

I know nothing about soccer but know lots about free drinks and good music! Thanks and slainte! 

Hey bartender! Can you switch on the TV, please?  

https://youtu.be/Mx7iywm_GZA?si=KCIp_u2pywDo1wOD

Tonight on stage Metallica does Disco!!! All night baby!!! Drinks flow freeeeeeeeee on meeeeeeeee!!!!

Walking the path
​​​​​​​

Im browsing masturbators for men and have no clue what I am looking at! This is all so new to me! I have been divorced for a while now and getting a bit frustrated but no time to chase the tail, as Im focusing on my two sons and my job! If anyone wants to enlighten me please do suggest "stuff". Pints are on me of course! 

On the stage tonight!

Whenever I'm thinking on looking for a wife I listen to this song (and forget all about it)

Bit of Bulgarian inspiration at the end.

I like this!!

Ha! That was a nice find! Must link it to my mate in Wales! He loves such lyrics! 

Not all the wives are the same me lad! Gotta do some smart fishin! Its all about the roight bait and hook size to get the best catch! 

I've a regular sized hook but I'd bait any man here in a fight. 

Che me man, what have you been up to musically?  Any new jams? I've been looking for something to collab on! Let's do it!

Nothing over here sadly. I have been dead for a while now. Just noodling daily but no riff ideas. But if I get any ideas I will contact you for sure! 

At the moment I am focusing more on my eldest son and me keeping fish and breeding shrimp in aquariums. 

Uncertain 

Here is a little video showcasing what I play as of late. Just an unorganised tonal noodle soup 
https://youtu.be/p1MNv0GIloQ?si=0wHYbW_iRVrg-Tfi

I checked that video and a couple others on your channel, nice skills man! I'm not very musically inclined to the point when i was in band back in jr high i was stuck on cowbell and triangle lol

Oh cowbell is awesome!!! 

Noodling is grand, who needs constraints anyway?

 

Hope to get this kip hole of a pub packed tonight! This band will for sure rock your socks off!!!
Fantastic concert! Amyl and the Sniffers! 
https://youtu.be/VXJ1BLHPGNw?si=EFU5se768WeXXTQm

I think I've seen a Leprechaun today ... hm ... ah yes, it is a St. Paddy's Day! Happy happy to all celebrating it! 

Tonight at the pub of last port, please welcome the Church of the Cosmic Skull 
https://youtu.be/aMEmVstb4bU?si=yUvCE1Az9OwdGdh6

Standing ovations for the band!!! Woahhhh!!! One more song! One more song! One more song! 

Ok ok chill out! (the band of 7 members goes back onto the stage) song about mind and such ... I guess
https://youtu.be/KcFy-lYmncE?si=Kzrzd8Qfe7M0p_Do

You can buy our merch at the exit! 

​​​​​​​

I. for one, appreciate your hard work here, Papa.

Cheers Chris! 

I fink this stage tonight is gone freeky! Yo! Bo! Ho! 
https://youtu.be/8Uee_mcxvrw?si=6JXm5WFWABSp6Bag

Couldn't find a band crazy enough to play tonight at this venue, hence why you see Papa on stage performing 'The Tale of the Cow that gored Bahiya of the Bark Cloth' 

Listen at your own risk and get those drinks coming! 

​​​​​​​https://youtu.be/Bk6367uJshk?si=Aa6skO__uWwI1iWH

Have you heard the one about the Bahiya that gored the cow?

The hat goes well with the green guitar.

Do you Che and Bahiya mind if I make you into discourse analysis research objects with a theme like "the vague boundary between making fun of and having fun with in context of power struggle and sparring in an online sangha of buddhist pragmatic dharma practitioners"?

Translation: Having followed both of you on this forum, also learning from both of you, I must say I can't figure out what for example the instrumental Papa Che Dusko posted might try to say to Bahiya Baby or to the forum. Nothing to do with me in the end (but the fact that I'm a spectator) - - but in general, not only in this case, it is very interesting how people who have certain amount of personal wakefulness cannot usually see how their communication is getting through to others. Or can they. What are "skillful means"?

Kettu, 

From an anthropological point of view papa is engaging with a behaviour that is common to the inhabitants of the emerald isle of Ireland. He is "having the craic". Now if you Google that you will find of course various translations into common language what this means but papa, having spent time in Ireland has a particular appreciation and affinity for the deeper meaning of the phrase which unfortunately cannot really be communicated all too well in the Queens English. That is to say he's having a bit of light hearted fun as he knows that I am Irish and thus we both understand certain things, behaviours, customs, that are in essence alien to the rest of the world but are known by the Irish and those unfortunate souls who are cursed with the poor fate of being in or having spent time their. It is after all a very terrible place and does very odd things to those who spend too long there. Papa being a prime example of how this strange corruption blights the land and effects the poor, sickly inhabitants who live there. Perhaps it is something in the air or something in the ground or as is most likely the case... Something in the taps.

Ok, thanks for cultural translation! In Finnish it is called vittuilu, and depending on the part of Finland, it may be nasty bullying or friendly bonding. And obviously the edge is thin between those.

EDIT: AH! Sorry guys, I always ruin any party by being serious and paranoic. Maybe some music will work as an apology
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZmDBT_XKVg

No worries, nice music !! Very mid 2000's. 

Do they have music in Finland... besides black metal?

That's cunning. You might get me talking eventually. Music in Finland... takes all sort of disguises. The language/culture barrier has also disguised it from most of the world most of the time, which must be the case for most music cultures anyway. At some point in time a lot of freshest avantgarde in the world grew in the label Bad Vugum from Oulu. And some might have heard Kaija Saariahos compositions. Many midaged Finns believe the best rock music was listened by themselves in the 1980-90s. And they possibly are quite right. Somewhere in the 2000s (some) Finns learned to make and listen to rap. Long before that they had all sorts of electro. And the spine of Finnish music besides the forgotten ethnic poetry singing are the hymns of various Protestant sects, and that odd mixture of schlager and tango. And, personally, I'd like to know if you can find anything like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAHhZ6jv0LI somewhere else, because I'd like to hear it.

Kettu, I hope you don't mind, but I fixed the link in your last comment. It led us back to this topic and not to the video on YouTube that you wanted to share. Now it takes us to YouTube, as you intended.

Oops - on testing the link again, I'm afraid the video at that link is no longer available.

Chris, okay, thanks, and sorry for lack of attention to detail. The link works ... in Finland. I guess I'll stop spilling my drinks all over this bar.

No problem at all! "Spill" some of your drink my way, right into this empty glass.

Highly recommend the entire discography of Marcos Valle, starting with this album:

Marcos Valle - Nossa Vida Começa Na Gente


Another absolutely sublime cut off of the same album:
Só Se Morre Uma Vez

The Brazilians really know how to do it

"He is "having the craic""

​​​​​​​Yes this!  

"Guilty conscience, no thanks
​​​​​​​I meditate and have plenty of wanks"

Cmere and we do a load of yokes 

Oh That reminds me of my old mate Osgur who fights seriously for the Irish language! Here you can find him on Facebook! Great lad, who used to be the bouncer in the pub I worked! https://www.facebook.com/osguroc

In case people haven't heard about the KNEECAP band and what problems they had with the establishment ... well here you can hear about it 
https://youtu.be/_V-YS0DbEHQ?si=iBf84R2V7d-AYg47

And here is info from Novara Media about Kneecap taking on the UK government! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPW_DplxC1k

I've got some folks in Denmark (go figure) tell me I drink too much! So I thought to reflect with my Pub of Last Port mates on this issue. 

Just for reference, back in Ireland I would knock down 3 pints of Guinness on a normal night after work. These are proper size big pint glasses. Here is Denmark when you say "I've had 5-6 beers" it means small cans. Those baby size cans. That would translate to 3 proper man-size pints. 

Here is a photo for comparison! Ok on certain days I do knock down 8-10 but that's not a rule. What's your judgement on this subject? 

Tonight we have some fine lads from Wales staging our tiny stage! IDLES!!! 
"I know nothing
I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colors
I know nothing
I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colors
I know nothing
I'm just sitting here looking at pretty colors"

https://youtu.be/BuQG6_evFc8?si=SJbXVB3DYhjeoak6

Let the IDLES rip up this night! 

https://youtu.be/7rdSlshLV9U?si=9bw7EPpybP37h2xh

You can get pints in Australia but it's also totally normal to drink smaller cans or glasses of beer. 

I like a small can but that's likely because I don't really drink much anymore. 

In case you fine people wonder what I do in the evenings well ...
https://youtube.com/shorts/uwQ67kUdEh0?si=_I0rCmeeQ97AnOD5

"I like a small can but that's likely because I don't really drink much anymore. "

Yeah, yeah but you are an arahant now so let me ask you later once that gets tarnished!  

Maybe we should wrap up this night further on up the road ...

Fellow Aussie here bahiya! Last time I drank 1 pint I was off my tits. 

Nice one Jure ! I am Irish, essentially, but was born here in Melbourne, moved back last year, loving it. Lived in Sydney a couple years ago too, which I also loved, but life was a bit hectic there. 

Papa... Who are you calling an arse hat?

Also... those Cash albums were some of my earliest musical inspirations. 

Good stuff mate, I'm glad you're enjoying Melbourne. I was born and currently live here myself. Maybe we can get a coffee sometime and shoot the shit, we don't have to of course.

Yeah 100%, I'll DM you and maybe we can arrange something !!

It's honestly a great city. The first city I have lived in or visited that I thought I could settle down in.

Awesome! I'll keep a look out for your DM!

Back to papa's regularly scheduled program of getting absolutely blind, haha. 

Jure, just a heads up the DM's aren't working atm. They usually fix themselves eventually or Chris does some magic or something. 

No problemo, I was going to send one to you tonight, guess not. I'll hear from you soon : )
