Victor Meldrew Pet Hates

"I don't believe it"

OK we have all had our "I don't believe it" sessions, you know the times when some one does some thing that makes ya turn into Victor Meldrew. My last Victor Meldrew moment was due to a certain lady who on her arrival at the venue proceeded to empty a full Johnsons baby powder onto the floor instantly turning it into an ice ring................ "I don't believe it" ooohhhhhhh it makes me blood boil.

What's your Victor Meldrew moment?

[ImberBoy]

..."I don¢Å¾¢t believe it People who walk straight across the dance floor at a ..."Soul night with two bleedin pints of Watneys red barrel spillin just enough on the dance floor for the next unsuspecting soul do be sent somersaulting through the air as he or she tries to dance to their fave tune¦¦¦¦¦.. Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh ..."I don¢Å¾¢t believe itÂ

Venues that advertise record dealers/ sellers welcome

And when you get there, the light is so poor/dimmly lit

you spend most of the time at the bar (damn) as its the only descent light available for folk to view

I dont believe it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angry:

Yes - people who spill/carry drinks onto the dancefloor.

:angry: And...those who congregate on the dancefloor to chat because they can't dance.

but worst of all...

The "mate" who talc'd the floor from waist height - and transformed the decks into something resembling Santa's Grotto!

I totally agree! Record dealers add that little bit more to any event (ie empty wallet !)

I often have a portable deck with headphones and a light available if I know that someone's turning up with a sales box. Or you could of course buy your own and the problem is solved, wherever the venue, without detracting from a darkened dancefloor.

my victor m moment came just the other day. mananged to win greater experience on the bay and the seller insisted on sending it by DHL. At a cost of 60 us dollars, i was not too pleased but paid up........a few days later hey presto along came the 45 in lovely condition too. then yesterday i got a nice little vat bill from DHL for 80 quid making it the most i've had to pay on postage for a 45.

[ImberBoy]

Needing the loo at an all-nighter is a "Victor" moment in its own right but being cut short for a dump and having no bleedin toilet roll.................. "I don't believe it"..............

[ImberBoy]

Pissed up blokes at soul nights with their wife's who dance with no shoes on as their pie eating husbands give every one the evil eye as if we where back at the youth club................ "I don't believe it"

[Kevinkent]

Yes - people who spill/carry drinks onto the dancefloor.

I don't believe it...............happened again on Sunday!
