HateEvent Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Bands very rarely do this intentionally, I'd suggest.It's up to those who pay their entry fee how long they stay for and who they actually see. Blame them, not the band.Forgive my way of putting that across - its not the bands I get frustrated with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig9590 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Forgive my way of putting that across - its not the bands I get frustrated with.I still completely agree with the point you were making, despite it though the night was still good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-matthEw- Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I've probably said it before, but this one really bugs me - fussy eaters. This also extends to people who refuse to try new foodstuff, or people that insist Chicken Tikka Masala is 'too spicy', or the folk who ask for a plain Big Mac.

Alternatively, starve them for a day or two and that should sort them out. Let's see you turn your nose up at it now, you spoilt cunt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsten Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I finally experienced the pub quiz at Triple Kirks tonight. Horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Christ, "studenty" is an insult to students, but that doesn't even cover it. I can't figure out which has been the more painful; the few times in the past where I've had to sit by helplessly and witness family various family members dying or having to endure that entire quiz.

Jeanette Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 The quiz was a laugh but it's the way the people act i hated. Very few people didn't use their iphone or whatever to get answers. As Hatevemt mentioned to me once, i would love to do a pub quiz in tunnels. No texting, no internet, just a a good ol' fashioned pub quiz.I used to enjoy the Triple Kirks' pup quiz when I was still at uni! Don't think it would be quite the same now though.This was also when not everyone had an iPhone or a Blackberry to sneak the answers!!My pet hate today is the weekend going too quickly!

Guest Bob Knob Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Also, when the media refer to troops in Afghanistan as boys and girls i.e, "Let's bring our girls and boys home". They're not girls and boys, they're men and women. Adults who made a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I finally experienced the pub quiz at Triple Kirks tonight. Horrific.The Bobbins quiz circa 2002 was much much worse. The fat ginger twot who ran it spent at least 2/3rds of the time shouting 'banter' to his mates at the other end of the bar and telling us how drunk he was in liquid the night before. He also used to swear and insult people a lot, to the point where it was not only unfunny but really offensive and quite uncomfortable.

Soda Jerk Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's very "studenty". my ex flatmate and all his friends thought they were soooooooooooo funny when they did it.You did too didn't you? Admit it. I won't tell anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Internet on mobile phones = the death of the pub quiz.I like a good pub quiz but it seems largely pointless now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 To kill.Very true, but isn't it a bit unsporting that the folk that are subject to the killing attempts down just lie down and take it? It's like they've not paid attention to the script. Fight back and all that, it's just down right rude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 People who are vague on Facebook for the purpose of instigating conversation and attention. Like when someone will say "Two days to go! woooop" or some shite. It just triggers curiosity, and you just have to know what is happening in two days. Then you've given them the attention they wanted. Suckered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
