Whatever style he's playing it's always superbly arranged . In fact i wish I was him!! Larkin |

22 Mar 07 - 08:23 AM (#2003947) Subject: RE: Tim o'Brien is the dogs b*ll*x From: Midchuck Your point is unclear. Maybe it's a Brit thing. It sounds to me as though you don't like him very much. I'm not sure why not. The man is tremendous as a picker, singer, arranger and writer. But each to his own. Peter. |

22 Mar 07 - 01:54 PM (#2004209) Subject: RE: Tim o'Brien is the dogs b*ll*x From: McGrath of Harlow Of course if you said his songs were a load of bollocks it'd be entirely different. You get the same kind of ambiguity with "bomb", according to exactly how its phrased. And to say you were "chuffed" about something is competely confusing, because it can equally mean you like it a lot or you dislike it a lot, even when phrased identically. |

Although I'm English, I only knew the meaning of "chuffed" as "pleased" or similar. I've heard and used "dischuffed" to mean the opposite. Is it a regional thing, this difference in meaning? |

23 Mar 07 - 11:40 PM (#2005566) Subject: RE: Tim o'Brien is the dogs b*ll*x From: open mike two of hismost recent c.d.'s were Fiddler's Green and Cornbread Nation i see he is appearing with a group which gtoes by the name of Corn bread Nation now. thehot rize group is a hoot....(that is a good advjective, too) they take on a whole new personality and wear different clothes and sing a different style (western/swing/cowboy) i am glad that the term was defined, because I, too, thought that this was a criticism of him. i can[t find any web sites right now, but he is not to be confused with another by that same name who is an author. Tim and his sister Molly are great musicians and they have both toured internationally and his collection of songs celebrating his Irish roots, The Crossing is a great c.d.. I featured it on my st. Pat's radio show. try to google Tim O'Brien (capitol O and capitol B) or The Crossing or look here www.timobrien.net |

They do lick them tenderly. I've never heard 'chuffed' to mean anything but pleased. A chuff is slang for a ventral orifice. "Up your chuff, matey!" There's an Irish-style pub here in Auckland called the Dog's Bollix. It hosts a lot of folk music. |
