GREAT MINDS N ALL THAT

Alldayers that start at 6pm n finish at 12pm or is that a MINI DAYER

how about "peoples pet hates" thats one of mine

Next up..

"Weekenders"

Putting on two Soul Nights without accomodation and over-inflating the entry price, does not i.m.h.o a "Weekender" make.

It's two very expensive Soul nights at some run down seaside town.

I take it this is aimed at me, the 100 Club used to be 6 & a half hours & was billed as an allnighter, mine is half an hour less, i think that makes it a mini-nighter!

Not aimed at anyone in particular, but if the cap fits...

People who come on Soul Source saying what a fantastic time they've had somewhere when they sat in a corner scowling all night

Talc in excess - some people need to take a trip down to TA (talc anonymous) as they just don't know how to stop with the f'ing stuff. At Prestatyn some git squirted the stuff all over my new shoes and the stuff still hasn't come off No need!!

nasty men giving old men strange sweeties and causing them lots of angst and paranoia and other nasty men laughing at the old twat

People who put "how many sleeps" on events talk

40 year olds that go on and on about there birthday

The 'visionaries', who create the rules, not realising some people can enjoy themselves without the strict guidelines.....

You should never accept sweeties from strangers!

Or even "Designer setees"! (Sofa actually) Every bl**dy DFS, Sofa Factory, etc etc advert "Come and see our designer range" "Huge discount on designer sofa's" SOMEBODY had to have designed the thing! Of course its designer, everything is 'designer' even a blinking bog brush was designed by someone, else it couldn't be manufactured! Call something designer and somehow it makes it special, don't make me laugh! My chum even phoned me the other day 'cos he had seen a sign in a shop, 'designer toilet rolls!"

5,601 sleeps to your fortieth Kylee

Rose tinted spectacles signing in.

Sat here with three other blokes in their mid 30's going on about Lowlands ( https://www.lowlands.nl/programme.php?type=1 ) some half arsed music festival in Holland this August. I could care not a fig for this and am minded of a soul pal's comments regarding their sort "Simsy they don't know do they"?

Yes the scence has some faults and yes threads like ' The Soul Scene ON ITS ARSE? / Pet Hates and Niggles of the Soul Scene' are understandable and justifiable.. But fook it, I'm going with the rose tinted thing. First Cleethorpes ever for me this time next week, can't remember being this excited about a soul event. I can't wait to play there, I can't wait to dance there and I can't wait to see all the cheery souls old and new there.

Give me the soul scene any old day of the week, choofin warts & all!

The soul police. They turn up, stroke there chins, mutter in strange voices to each other. Then post on soul mucic forums about the venue not playing something that only the soul police and the chosen few know about. God forbid if that venue then plays oldies. the end of the known soul world is nigh. Get a fcuking life.

Win,

Don't you mean places where you've been but the reviewer was obviously somewhere else - "packer" etc etc.

I hate:

Moaning and quizing (I know I'm moaning! )

Such as:

"you take too much room on a dance floor"

"Do you really need talc"

"Do you know the record you're dancing to"

"How long have you been going to soul do's"

"Do you realise this record you're NOT dancing to costs £***** much"

Scowling

Judging

and not simply enjoying

Bla Bla Bloody Bla

But in general it's pretty good really

==============

I was thinking more along the lines of ........ an event appears in lookbacks, someone who hasn't been there goes on the thread criticises the playlists and the people who've been there, telling all and sundry there are much better events we should be going to. Basically they're plugging their mates venues, which is only one step behind asking for a spot
