It's OK for Mike to go round calling the Jug HIS local, but where is he on the other nights of the week? He doesn't seem to be in very often.

I go on a Wednesday because I enjoy the session, enjoy the crack and catch up on the gossip, including chewing out work problems with others a lot of the time - it's great for support. Sometimes I don't bother getting my bodhran out and playing, sometimes I do, it just depends on how I feel. I thought that was what Mudcat was all about!!!!!

As far as I could see it would have been a fairly quiet night without some of our friends from further away dropping in. The Ducks, Chris and Jellybean, Eric and a fair few others were all away - possibly dropping in on other sessions. If I turn up on an 'ordinary' Wednesday in the middle of winter there's often more 'Strangers' in the place AND I can't get a seat, which I could last night when I turned up at about 8.45pm.

Stop being mardy Mike, it's NOT worth it and it will only cause bad feelings without any real cause.
