Just watching the Q bert vid at the start. Reminded me that I have his signature and that of the late Roc Raida R.I.P. on my Rane TM 56 mixer. When i lived in Sydney I got to see both and brought the deck plate of my mixer to the shows. Felt like a twat sneaking in a metal panel under my shirt and trying to party until they finished so I could see if I could get a tag but I suppose it worked out in the end. The Q bert gig was also headlined by Supernat who killed with his freestyles. Even Q picked up the mic to spit. Damn, good memories, really glad I got to see all of 'em.

I saw a few seconds of the Ad for Fade street a few weeks ago. After all the discussion here and the Music Production thread I was almost tempted to watch it. Almost.

Put this on the Music Production thread.

I think this thread is the perfect opportunity to unveil Fiachra's Law. Based on Godwin's Law except based on Irishness and Begrudgery:

"As an online discussion on all things Irish grows longer, the probability of the mention of Typical Irish Begrudgery approaches 1."

In other words, given enough time, all discussions on things Irish —regardless of topic or scope—inevitably end up being about Typical Irish Begrudgery.

Remember when there was bus rolls & bus conductors?

Used to be pestering the bus conductors in the bus terminus to give us a few bus rolls & some would, some wouldnt.......the joy when you were thrown two or three rolls so they could be fired up into the air like huge white streamers:D....ahh the simple pleasures had when 10 years old.

No, that would be retrospective begrudgery.

Fiachra's law is here to protect us from accusations of begrudgery. When you express an opinion that runs contrary to someone else's and they use they 'B' word, invoke Fiachra's law with great aplomb.

A: Westlife are great
B: No, they're sh¡te
A: Typical Irish Begrudery!
B: I invoke FIACHRA'S LAW!…
(Clouds part, lightning flashes)
… and you're a wánker.

That would be brilliant. How do you go about doing something like that.

Essentially Fiachra's law is there to stop anyone accusing you of begrudgery and therefore claiming some sort of moral superiority in an online argument. The first thing that happens after some one calls you a begrudger is that you have to defend yourself against the claim and appear to lose credibility in the argument. Fiachra's law is basically say the person throwing out the begrudger claim is taking a cheap shot because they know they have no other defense and making all subsequent debate redundant because they don't have the brains to have a logical discussion on differing points of view.

Wiki away and add that gravitas

Right It's gonna take a few days. There are certain things you have to avoid to stop removal on wiki, so I'm gonna get something absolutely watertight together.

So anyone came up with a face for fiachra's law?

Mise everyone already knows Tom so cant really use him id say.

Without giving you a swell head, i think when complete it will be one of the finest wiki pages read in quite a while. Looking forward to it.

Ahh i know, just lashed that one out.......Jeff has the wiki article, the graphic to be added into the wiki article needs careful consideration & perhaps if a few in the running a 1 week poll to decide the most effective that will have longevity & impact, after all Fiachras law may still be around when we are all pushing up daisys:D

Does it have to be an unknown face?

I'm thinkin Android has already got the whole theme thing down perfectly with the Bono one.
Just have a different Irish 'celebrity' known for their hatred of 'begrudgery' in the photo and then change the caption.

Jesus, if we put half as much effort into doing something useful we'd be up there with Gates and Jobs.
