    Anyone ever see the guy who used to play a saw like a violin?
    Only ever saw him twice about 3 or 4 years ago, he was outside Gino's pizza.

    Thought he was class just for the fact he could play a damn saw like a violin!!

    The guitarist that plays outside the Crawford Art Gallery is really good. Some amazingly nice, relaxed atmospheric guitar playing that you can still hear reverberating when inside the Art Gallery. Blissful.

    That guy was in my friends class in Chríost Rí. He was alright but just always seemed to be pissed off at someone/somebody.

    There weren't many of us in Chríost Rí who played the Violin, wonder who it is. It's not me anyway, I only ever busked twice in Cork.

    The guy I hate the most is the guy on one of the streets just off Oliver Plunkett Street, might be Marlborough or Princes Street. He "plays" a violin but all he does is make sounds like a cat being strangled. It seems like he just picked it up one day and thought he might have a go. I was hoping to see if he would improve over time wihtout having lessons because i thought surely you would learn to make better sounds as time went on, but nope, he never did.

    Is that the small guy with long black greasy hair in a pony tail and really pitted skin? If it is, he's an unmerciful pr*ck. He came into a shop I worked in about 12 years ago looking for an elastic band to keep his poster wrapped up. We genuinely didn't have one, it was one of my first jobs and I went out of my way to be friendly, and he started up in the loudest cockney accent shouting and roaring and creating a scene in a shop which was already busy with patiently waiting customers, and then held everyone up with his tantrum for a full 5 mins.
