Shout About Music....go on. shout about it then!!

Everybody has something to shout about now.

Well everyone whinges so much, I mean I seem to be out all hours, at gigs, clubbing etc, and I don't get enough time in the day to see everything, so either these whingers can move around alot faster then us poor Pig-dogs, or they just like nothing better then to put on their flowery marigolds and moan about something.... these are some good examples, that I thought i'd share, it from a bartenders perspective of you bunch of tossers out there....( I suppose that include me too).....now the trick here is to work out who ar the biggest whingers?huh? see what I mean?

These are taken from a very funny facebook about hating customers....

Q : "Whats cheap tonight?" A: "You are, son!"

“It’s too cold, It’s too hot” “Can you turn the music down”

"Guiness please" the good gentleman asks "Sorry Sir, but we're out of guiness for today" ... give it a second to sink in... "WHAT? I only drink Guiness!!!!". Your bar probably has a selection of Larger, bottles, Alcopops, spirits from around the globe and cocktails but he replies "That is well out of order, I want to see the manager"... ah yes sir.. but does my manager want to see YOU? Chinese riddle that.

"HOW MUCH?" Feels like a broken record! “That much for a half a lager wit’ lime?.. Get me a receipt ? It’s 40p cheaper over t’road”. Well believe me I’d love you to go back there!

"I gave you a twenty and you’ve given me change for a ten!!” No scumbag, you gave me a ten and I gave you change for a ten. That’s how it works!

People who walk away from the bar without paying. I will find you. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my bar. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my door staff upon thee.

People who when you give them their change, point to their friend and go “He’s next!!” Oh thank you Sir, I’m not capable of keeping track of a whole FOUR people… and do I tell you how to do your job? Shut the F up!!

People who want to see "the manager" because they've been waiting all of five minutes... "I've been here twenty minutes" to which you hold back a "Yeah? Well I've been here all day and you don't hear me complaining".

Q : "Whats cheap tonight?" A: "You are, son!"

Another timeless classic people must think I never get tired of hearing. "I know the manager" "I know the door staff" "I know John who used to work here!" "I know the Promoter!" "I know your mother". What you mean is, you probably met my manager on a bus once two years ago…You don’t know anybody, son, or if you do, the people who you do “know” , wish that you’d shut the fuck up as you’re making an arse of yourself and they are embarassed to be associated with your lameness.

Customers who spend ages waiting and whining to be served, stood right in front of the bar, staring at our fridges, pumps, spirits and after looking at our wonderful selection decide to pick something that isn't there.

Anyways!!! get my point huh?

Well now all the people(you know who you are) who are constantly telling me that there needs to be something done about the state of the music scene...la la la..nothing ever on..la la,(apart from everyday of the week knob!)... well now they surely can't whinge.

Last week The BBC Introducing along with Mr Blind Pig's help put together a new series of music shows designed to bring the next line of talent through, and bring back the headlining acts to Reading that we have lost since the demise of the Fez.
( See the Launch photos here: Click here)
(See the review here: Click Here)

Every wednesday Shout About Music will take over Bar Four, and put a select bunch of acts on. From the unheard, unplayed, through to the great out of towners, and finishing with local headline heros.

Then... bands deemed suitable from the Bar Four shows, will be pulled into top support slots, and
finally help with their UK tour.

The night which all this feeds, is CLUB EN-EM-MY ( see what they've done there!) Monthly Mondays through the summer, leading to every Monday from September, where the hottest acts from around the country will be piling into the good ol Rock fest town. Dogma Bar on Castle st be the home, after we spent a day managing to pursuade the MD to spend thousands on a Live music venue above the bar. Club En_Em_My will also be home to the towns most cutting edge Indie/Rock club night, because lets be honest, Sakura just ain't no fez, how will we feel comfortable headbanging, whilst they are dining downstairs? hum?

In search of Pig Dog's fav tipple

Pigdog here.

I will be generally be stumbling around drunk this weekend, ( no not a normal weekend nikki!) well, its a bank holiday, and there is the small matter of a Camra beer & cider fest happening in Reading ( remmeber the 3 B's.. Bricks, Bulbs.. and beer! so they must have a knack to it)

Ahh yes, sweaty bearded men, and warm beer!... or not..

I have found that the typical beer festival peep is not of the ol man pub variety, obviously they are there, which is great because we can laugh at them, but the majority seem to be, students,( give them a field and booze, i suppose) and then its the 18-30 crowd really, yeah.. thats it the lot who winge about hating warm beer!) maybe they do, maybe they don't, but one things for sure, everybody there, is after one thing.... to get twatted! so without further ado, I shall be off with my glass, to one of its many bars...
