I chucked a few posts into the thread Bonnie (or "Bonnid" - I like that!)mentioned. My daughter has quite Irish dancing now. She was at a feis where at the end kids were lined up on the stage and told where they ranked. All of them. So it's not enough to tell a kid they're first, second or third. You've got to tell them they're twenty-third into the bargain. Well, f**k that.

Why does all this wigs and fake tan nonsense happen? Because parents - mostly mothers - are ignorant, shallow, (predominantly) white trash who care less about their kids than they do about showing off how much tat they can afford. As far as music goes, most of them couldn't tell a slip jig from a slipped disk.

For the cost of one of these ghastly outfits they could buy their kids a decent quality musical instrument that would last them a lifetime. Try and explain that to them and they just look at you as if you'd just drooled down your shirt.

What's really disturbing is that they breed and they have votes.
