So we shouldn't post unless we are disagreeing with something? i'm quite new to forum protocol but i am aware it's about differing opinions, but it being compulsory? I have my preferences, musically, venues etc, but i just don't see the point in telling others their preferences (if different to mine) are wrong, and they should seek help to have the smile on their face on hearing Ruby Andrews removed, But now i know the rules of the forum i will steer clear until i strongly disagree with someone, Pete Eccles

Matt, believe me if i had meant anyone in particular i would have replied directly to their post, I was just expressing a general observation, as much out there as on here, on peoples passion to convert the world to their way of thinking, Hope that clears things up Matt, As for the most successful 'oldies' night, that's another story, but not getting into that one, Pete Eccles

Just noticed Brian, but probably better put by you, Amounts to the same really, baffles me why if somebodies way is the right way why do they spend so much time preachin when they could be enjoyin their way? Be knockin doors next spreading the word, Pete

I will never understand why some on the scene seem to spend more time harping on about why people shouldn't be enjoying what they enjoy than they do getting on with what floats their boat, whichever side of the fence they are, Lifes too short, just enjoy whatever it is you enjoy, and let the rest get on with it, live and let live, Everybody has their own take on how it should be, it's pointless getting bitter and twisted coz everybody doesn't agree with your ideal world, coz they never will, If a thousand peeps turn up at a shopping centre it just maybe because they want to, those that don't want to attend (me for one) can always get on with something else, and leave em to it, Just a thought, Pete Eccles

Gotta get that Magners cash back somehow, ay Russ?

What label is Chinese whispers on? not sure i know it

Not sticking up for anybody here, i wasn't there on the night in question regarding this thread, just saying its not a one size fits all belief, and yes my son did do the 'right' thing, but if he had chose the other option i don't think it would have been the 'wrong' thing to do either, Have to say though its a long time since the initial post on here and wasn't aware of any 'bragging' Finally i would much rather be bullied by the odd email than be physically abused in public, i would like to think i could ignore a heated email, and if not or if it continued look at doing something about it, but in the real world Dave decisions have to be made instantly, rightly or wrongly,

Dave, i agree with you beliefs, and admire you instilling them in your sons, However it doesn't always work in the 'real' world, A few years ago my son was on one of his first nights out, the day after he came to his dad for some advice, He asked, 'dad i was out last night having a great time, then a young 'lady' who i have never seen before came up to me and slapped me, knocking my glasses off and breaking them, then her and all her mates were pointing at me and laughing, everybody was looking, in the same situation what would you have done dad? I only had one reply as i like to be honest to my kids, I'd have knocked her out son, clean out cold, Sorry if this offends you Dave BTW he picked his glasses up and ran off, which i am equally proud of, but i'm afraid gender , size, or whatever doesn't give anyone the licence to be a bully,

That explains it then, well some of it, what about the ones i have attended that have been like the pics all evening? Only to read in feedback it was rammed

Thing is there was as many turning out then as there is now, just everywhere was packed then, looking at some of the pics in the gallery (granted not a definite reflection) and some of em could've been held in one of the promoters front room,

And they are all doing it for the right reasons, most of em are bringing something different to the table, if any clash with another venue they couldn't help it because it was the only night the club had available (not bothering in the first place isn't an option) NS is the new bingo Pete Eccles
