anotherchance Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't see the point in spending a fortune going to gigs, live music,festivals etc when you can just stick the music on in the hoose.Usually get the "well you go and watch fitba when you could watch it in the hoose" back, but I counter that with the unpredictability of sport as opposed to what you get at a gig.Also quite routinely describe music I don't like as pish, although it tends to get folks backs up and draws a futile argument about "opinions" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. It's my opinion. That this band is pish. Not sure why some folk think people should be giving disclaimers that they're giving their opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha aye."Aye but that's your opinion" - Captain Obvious to the rescue."I'm entitled to my opinion" - suggesting that disagreement = disputing the right to an opinionMental chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really mind when people do this, but it's when they then get seething that someone says that someone they like is pish without an explanation and they then get raging, without a hint of irony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any time anyone describes anything as good/bad/ok/pish/amazing they should add the caveat that it's their opinion?It's blindingly obvious that it's an opinion surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's blindingly obvious that it's an opinion surely? Depends what it is you're describing. For instance, if you say "Dundee Utd are shite", then you are stating a fact that can't be disputed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Red Hot Chili Peppers' set at T in the Park on Youtube the other week and enjoyed it but I can say without doubt that if I'd actually been there I would've hated every minute of it. Giant waste of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 There were very few black people in the audiences watching the Olympics, despite over half the population of Brazil describing themselves as black. This was nothing to do with prejudicial socioeconomic forces at work and extortionate ticket prices, along with the criminal Irish hoarding of tickets, but simply due to black people preferring to participate in sports rather than sitting watching other people doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
