When you travel to a venue (not a niter mostly soul nites) maybe 80-100 miles music is excellent, not a lot of people in attendance. We are up for a good nite, dance etc but the promotors and their other halves just sit about. then wonder why no excitement or increased punters thru the door. That really gets my goat...oh yes it does. Kimbo. NOTE just a hate, this is not aimed at any venue I attend at the mo as they are all top nites.

People on eBay who email asking for feedback (I know that's not exclusive to soul but it's currently driving me mad) - am tempted to leave it longer just because they've felt the need to beg for it as if it was the most important thing in the world :D

Having seventeen million SS topics entitled 'Am I Missing Something?' when 99% of them know they aren't missing anything and actually mean 'look at this idiot/ conman that I've spotted' :yes:

people who think they are so fekkin superior because they have a chance to attend those venues that play that great music we all adore where it kicks off at 11 and finishes at 5 in the morning. I'm gonna do Burnley is Aug and then the fat lady will sing ending 36years of attending all-nighters on and off.

I try not to have to leave until the end and I have a fab excuse :D

If I leave early it takes so long saying goodby to everyone that it is actualy quicker to get away if you stay till the end as everyone has had to come up to you to say see ya that you only have to say tarra to a few stragglers :yes:

My pet hate on the scene is people on the scene who hate pets...

...OK so it's not really but the car wouldn't get me to Cleggy, and I'm waiting for the kettle to boil and the day to end, so I thought I'd say it anyway!

Good point. Promoters who spit the dummy because of what they see as 'poor attendance'. Not recognising that the ones who are there have made the effort , so they should to!! Common problem...

Don't really know you well Paul but have heard your spots over the years (good taste) and had many a chuckle at your wit on here. So if the fat lady is gonna sing its a sad day mate will there be a burning of the budgie jacket and white skinners (baggsy the sock drawer) :yes: . Respect kimbo.

This absolutely drives me round the bend, I ignore the first one then if they do it again I remind them that soliciting feedback is against ebay rules and is tantamount to harrassment. I do all feedbacks once a week or once a fortnight, they can wait.

Cleethorpes being called "Cleggy" (it should be Cleethy, surely?) :no::lol:

People who were into Jazz funk for 10 years but are now died in the wool chinstrokers but look down on everyone else.

Anyone that has "Burnley " in 7 points lettering in their signatures.

Postman Pat lookalikes.

"Events" thread spoilers....even though they have never been or intend to go.

Think that just about covers it for me! :):D

we know how hard it is to attend to these venues too................. maybe venues should play these fab sounds more often.........................

People who tag onto threads, with inane comments, just so they can 'promote' their forthcoming night....

people who dont read comments correctly............. it was a genuine answer :)

Think of all that room you'll have to move around on the dancefloor. Just watch out for the tumbleweeds and you'll be OK... :)

Come to Nuneaton.

Oops, that was 'people who use other people's threads to plug soul nights' wasn't it? :no:

suppose in the scheme of things and with all these clever arse replies this will seem irrelevant but (A) your average soul fan is much more ITK than you would like to admit (not all) and (cool.gif when even I could do an oldies spot that we hadn't heard for yonks, do we have to listen to the same overplayed shite (not really shite but after all those plays sems like it). TBH We could start a new scene playing oldies that get ignored. Sorry I am an old fart but this is true, in fact (its got me !!!!)

Talking to other collectors/soul fans who insist on trying to outdo you by naming obscure records and thinking you must be a bit of a twat if you've never heard them...........otherwise known as the illusion that Nothern Soulies are the friendliest people on earth....well yes as long as you know your place and I can look down on you and look up to Searling/Butch etc............very reminiscent of a sketch from the 60's with Cleese, Barker and Corbett!!!!! :thumbsup:

This happened recently and is peeing me off a bit!!

Hearing what I think is a brilliant tune and taking a few weeks asking about to find out who the artist is (knew the title but not the artist).

Then when I finally find out, BEING TOLD TO KEEP MY TRAP SHUT AS ONE OR TWO DJ'S INTEND COVERING IT UP!!!!

AAAARRGGHHH!!!!! :thumbsup:
