People who make Facebook accounts for their cats. The worst kind of bastards. No one wants to be friends with your fucking cat, you gash rag.

jesus what on earth is this world coming to?

Pish arse conference players who sign for cambridge united and harp on about how we're a 'big club' erm maybe compared to the shit arsed conference side who get home crowds of 500 but we're hardly real madrid or manchester united...

The French - desperately wanting them to get beat by mexico tonight.

Shite promoters.

We were meant to play a Leith Festival show tonight. We were a late addition to the bill, as another band had cancelled.

After I confirmed we'd play, I got no response to any of five emails asking about stage times. We showed up to discover soundcheck was running late (as you might expect) and the promoter shouting at the volunteers who were doing sound for free and supplying the full backline for free, and to eventually be told our stage time. The bands weren't being paid. There was no rider. There was no discount at the bar. There was no promotion. I had to lie to get my girlfriend on the guestlist. There was, as a result, no audience. There was an incredibly inappropriate opening bands (covers and a horn section). The "promoter" has another 5 gigs on in Leith within 5 minutes walk, all charging a similar price to the 7 door fee. Our stage time was pushed back and back. The guys doing the sound told us about all the other things the promoter had/hadn't done for his other gigs.

I then realised that it was the same guy who had emailled me about gigs expecting us to sell tickets, who I had already turned down several times, explaining that we didn't do gigs like that.

The promoter was not there, so we couldn't even raise the issues with him. Eventually, we snapped and said to the sound guys we weren't going to play, and were very sorry. The only punters in the venue were four people who were related to the opening band, and had now seen their set. We apologised to the other band due to play, and went to pack up our stuff.

It wasn't until we were on our way out of the door that the promoter arrived back at the venue. We told him we weren't playing, and if he wanted the reasons, we could ghive him a list.

I feel really bad about pulling the show (I've never done anything like that before), but the whole thing was a complete farce. This clown must be shafting bands left right and centre.

People who butt in when you're halfway through a sentence. Especially if they've just asked you a question and you're trying to respond to it. It's just the height of bad manners. Have enough fucking courtesy to keep your fucking fat stupid mouth shut long enough to listen to what I've got to say, and then it's your turn. That's how conversations work, you rude cunt.

I think that sounds fair enough, sounds like the promoter is just a total tool. If everyone is doing the gig for free then where does all the money that he expected to get off the door supposed to go except his pocket and maybe for the venue?

Exactly. I'm still raging about it this morning, and usually I calm down after a good night's sleep. Gah.

I enjoyed these instructions. Especially the "then it's your turn" part. Great. I can relate too. A woman I work with talks over me all the time. Infact the two people I sit next to do it all the time, or even worse, you'll be talking to them, and then they'll spot someone walking past and start talking to them whilst I'm mid-sentence. They usually comment on how quiet I am, which is true, because I'm fed up of even bothering to pretend I actually want to talk to them, when they don't understand how conversations work.

Besides. Office smalltalk is wank anyway. Getting interrupted is probably a blessing. Anything to end talking about how rainy it is, or how the lifts aren't working again.

Todays pet hate: Weather forecasts that turn out to be the exact opposite of what it actually is.

I've had a BBQ planned for today for over a week. Forecast says, sunny, warm, not cloudy, no rain. Actual weather: Cloudy, not so warm, occasional rain and WINDY AS A MOTHERFUCKER :swearing:

Fuck it, I'm having this bastarding barbecue whether god likes it or not. Arse.

Don't blame a fictional character from a shite book, it's the weather peoples fault.

It's ok, I only believe in god when I have bad luck. Like losing at the casino for example :D

It's just a difference in thinking. Some people prefer to have some value or purpose to their conversations, for others words coming out of someone's mouth seems to be enough.

The folk at my work just can't seem to function unless words are coming out of everyones mouth on a constant basis. Most people barely get any work done, because they are wagging on about shite all day. I don't say a word, but I get a warning from I.T. because I was sending too many emails. What's the difference? Fuck off.

When I worked for an oil/IT company I was pulled up on a disciplinary for sending an e-mail with a smiley in it. It wasn't sent to a client, it was to a colleague and the rest of the e-mail was work related but I was being "unprofessional".

Fucking mad.

It amazes me how a great deal of office workers can be so insane on one hand, but so dull on the other.
