Yep, hearing music in a small venue has its own special intensity.

Glad to see that you don't sound too alarmed about being made redundant, which can be a very unsettling experience - unless you're Batlord of course, who quit one job and was back in a new one within a week, apparently without breaking stride.

Current suggestion: Blackstuff brawlers (Guinness being the "black stuff") - anyone got an advance on that?

Nah that makes you guys sound way too cool.

I'm sticking with potato monkey. Not only does it have a comedic ring to it, it also reminds them of when they were so cucked by the British that all they had to eat nothing but potatoes. What a **** nationality lol. Somehow even their oppression just sounds comical.

I do admit potato monkey is good. It just doesn't sound, I don't know, insulting enough? I think I prefer potato muncher - has that sort of double entendre going for it.

Also, check your history. The British didn't force us to eat only potatoes: they were the only thing we knew how to grow or could afford to grow. Corn laws, dude, corn laws.

I thought functionally they kind of did since growing anything else would have raised rents?

I think it's because 'potato monkey' doesn't have enough phonetic zip to it. I propose 'spud monkey' instead, e.g.:

"Shut your Guinness chute, you useless spud monkey!"

Just call them potato fags ffs.

I think it's insulting in a dismissive way which feels appropriate for the Irish as a people. Even the negative stereotypes for your people is stuff like being sloppy drunks or leprechauns. Any true vitriol directed at the Irish would be taking them too seriously as a people. Really the most insulting thing to call them is brits, which to my eye they are basically just a more backwater region of the same pasty breed of imbred island folk, just with more gingers sprinkled in and a touch of catholicism.
