Bagpipes
― koogs, Thursday, 28 May 2020 19:08 (four years ago) link
I'm a bit out in the greenbelt towards Wakefield but heard distant car horns and fireworks. Fucking allastair Campbell out there with his bagpipes is a new low!

Definitely louder in my area than it was a few weeks ago. There's a bunch of posh young people living near me who make sure they make a lot of noise. They're posh to me, they probably don't think they are.

The bagpipes got a round of applause when they finished, just to twist the knife

We get bagpipes and a solitary church bell ringer, in E Anglia.

there's definitely some social aspects to this tho. like West side Vancouver definitely more a clappy place than East Van afaict (there's like no clapping from my poor door condo neighbors, only a little from the yuppy condo dwellers).. and I was out at my gf's mum's place in south surrey and it was like Mardi Gras

We had (very bad) bagpipes for the first time tonight, as well. Odd. So it's a thing, then.

was this the last one

Fingers crossed.

Did anyone get any booing or does that start next week?
― Matt DC, Thursday, 28 May 2020 20:32 (four years ago) link
it seemed to start off a bit tepid this week and I thought oh is it finally on its way out then some wanker let off a few fireworks and then came the saucepan banging and presumably a kazoo or vuvuzela or something
― Colonel Poo, Thursday, 28 May 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link
Exclusively a Tory thing from next week I think, not that it hasn't been. Hopefully 8.01 will be Boo For Cummings.

Who decided it was officially over just before it petered out? Like who's in charge of unofficial impromptu public displays and how does everyone know?

The lady who started it in England (and has been getting increasing press coverage saying "I'm not clapping any more")?
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 28 May 2020 23:54 (four years ago) link
Dutch wasn't she? It is probably safe to say it would have happened anyway
― calzino, Friday, 29 May 2020 00:01 (four years ago) link
Hard to say, don't see anyone doing it elsewhere (aide removes cap off telescope)
There is definitely a lot of people saying "this is the last one" and possibly because of that it's louder than ever yesterday (though I don't think it was tapering off even before that).
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 29 May 2020 08:42 (four years ago) link
did it spread to the US and Canada from the UK? I mean the clapping not the other thing!
― calzino, Friday, 29 May 2020 08:48 (four years ago) link
My street were out in force last night - even some twat with an air horn. They know my missus is a nurse, so a mere glimpse of her and everyone starts clapping directly at our house. It's so fucking bizarre (but good for her).

Weren't they doing it in Spain weeks before us? Though there it was spontaneous.
― Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Friday, 29 May 2020 09:47 (four years ago) link
Also I think Euler said they were doing it in Paris.
― Is Lou Reed a Good Singer? (Tom D.), Friday, 29 May 2020 09:48 (four years ago) link
did they ever play bagpipes and let off fireworks in France? I'm just checking if it is a normal country.
― calzino, Friday, 29 May 2020 09:53 (four years ago) link
Clapping here, but as previously mentioned it’s an estate on the doorstep of two hospitals.

I mean, somewhere in the DNA was the opera singing from I think Italy, so bagpipes are not entirely outwith the area.
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 29 May 2020 10:09 (four years ago) link
I'm sure the accordions are out in force in Paris.

what was the 1 o'clock clapping for? did i miss a memo?
― koogs, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 12:25 (four years ago) link
clapping for wealth creators

The lady who started it (in the UK) said to stop back in May, and my impression is that people did https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/22/lets-stop-clapping-for-the-nhs-says-woman-who-started-the-ritual
― Andrew Farrell, Friday, 30 October 2020 02:11 (three years ago) link
That lady has so much power. Maybe she could do something about poppy shaming.

There are isolated areas of Vancouver where it still happens every night at 7. Just a smattering but still there.

if the neighbour also had the clap that would have been a tabloid headline writers dream

How the fuck is that guy 34?! It's almost as if they're making it up.
