That’s Dublin Northside for you, I guess? 😅

And it was inside the chippy shop. That gobshite got into a verbal argument with the poor fella, went back home, grabbed the biggest knife from the kitchen, went back and just finished the job. I really do feel sorry for that poor man and his family.

Then again, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes down to Dublin. I once went home after work and there were a bunch of lads soaping up and washing their horse at a petrol station. D3 madness forever! ^^

Nah, can’t be, it was a politician, not a former soldier. The victim had 2 very young children (defo under the age of 10 back when it happened). Beats me.

No, it was a low level local politician, don’t remember his name. It’s been quite a while since it happened. But he was jailed for life.

EDIT: This was in North Strand about ~12-15 years ago? I was on my way to work and the Guards were everywhere securing the area.

Hiya, I’m a drums teacher. Congratulations! My advice? Keep practicing like a madlad / madlass, learn many different styles, learn breakbeats as soon as possible (it takes a while to figure them out, but they are amazing for practice). I’d also recommend renting a session room and buying accoustic drums. I’m a sucker for Gretsch kits (I own 3 by now) because I love the classic Rock ‘n’ Roll sound they create. In the beginning, keep on repeating simple beats, include the Hi Hat, include the Kick Drum. It really takes a while to learn how to use all 4 limbs very differently at the same time.

In case you’ve got any questions, feel free to comment or send me a DM. Happy to help. Also, take very good care of your knees! You’ll need them a lot. Mine are fucked beyond repair by now (not because of drumming), and I am resigning from my teacher position by the end of this year. At least for drumming.

PS: Don’t care too much about what other drummers say. Everyone’s got their own unique style, like every person has their own and unique handwriting. What works great for someone else might not work great for you.

PSS: I do recommend Drumeo. They’ve got a lot of cool things going on in terms of teaching many basics for free on YouTube and I do appreaciate the teachers working for the platform a lot. I hope this does not sound like some kind of advertisement, but they really do know their stuff.

Back when I was living in Dublin, a politician stabbed a junkie to death in a local chipper using a big ass kitchen knife. Yes, you read that right. The politician murdered the drug addict, not the other way around.

Lol, my partner uses Lemmy as well, but is unaware of my username. Thus they frequently share memes with me which I uploaded in the first place.

It is now.
