    There's a talentless accordion player outside the office for the last few days and no sign of moving on. What options are there for getting rid of annoying buskers??

    Hire some scumbags to "move him on". By scumbags I mean Gardai and by hire I mean bribe and by "move him on" I mean brake his legs.

    Tell him you'll show him how to achieve perfect pitch with an accordian for a fiver. When he hands it to you launch it across the road and straight into a skip without touching the sides.

    Give him a fiver if he'll move to another spot.

    Failing that, bleach.

    Highlighting his hair would make him more likely to stay.

    He has to have a licence to busk doesn't he? Ask to see it, no licence, no play.

    The Roma Buskers are one thing I do not miss about not being in Dublin anymore. THere was a guy who used to play "When The Saints Go Marching In" day in and day out for months on Georges St when I worked in Dublin. I was driven demented by his 'attempts' to play the song. He was woeful and I dont know how I didnt smash the saxaphone over his head. I still have nightmares about it :D

    I couldn't agree more. Its the accordion noise that's annoying, no matter who's playing it!

    He hasn't gone away, you know - just moved about a hundred yards up the street!

    Ask him politely to play a cover of Highway To Hell for great irony and laugh :D

    Get out with your teammates at lunchtime

    If he's good then shower him with coins
    But if he's bad then pelt him with tomotoes and rotten veg.

    His musical skills will determine what happens

    What's the difference between an onion and an accordion?
    - People tend to cry when an onion is cut up.

    What's the difference between an accordion and a lyre?
    - A lyre is handed to those entering heaven, accordions are saved for those entering hell.
