Things I wish I knew

Feedback gratefully received.

I'll blame an overenthusiastic PA.

Oh, so now it's your dad's fault?

How has Will Ferrell managed to make the same film about 8 times and is still getting away with it now?

Why is David Beckham's affair with Rebecca Loos treated like it never happened?

Why, should we still be talking about it?
People get caught having affairs all the time. Ends some marriages, doesn't end others.

Amongst things I wish I knew is:
Why do people think the sexual affairs of public figures is any of their business?

The clue is in the word 'Public'.

I know it shouldn't be so, but that's why they think it.

Agree x 2

Much as his films amuse me(mostly) he was on Comedy awards over the weekend as Ron Burgundy, and it was painful....

As for Beckham, some people are just golden, altho to be fair if you had to put up with that pouting miserable cow all the time, I think you would be respected for having an affair too, not chastised.

Don't get it.
Like I saw that girl from Countdown was on the front page of one of the red tops because she was divorcing her husband?!
What the fuck has that got to do with anyone but them?

I don't care who footballers are having sex with, which TV 'personalities' are getting divorced, what drugs TV chefs are doing, what sportsmen are gay or straight or even what S&M clubs MPs are going to.

None of our damn business.

Why middle aged women at theatres who have happily sat in their seat for 2 hours during a show, suddenly think they are part of the cast when the last song comes on by standing up and doing some ridiculous side to side wobbling dance?? Thus ensuring people behind can't see.

Think that's called The Timewarp.

Not really belonging here, but a question - what makes the top club 's better than your average enthusiast?  I'm not talking me standing by the decks and hoping for the best, but someone competent that knows their stuff.

Also, do you think if you got a set of decks and practiced hard, you'd be able to make a name for yourself or did you have to be there at the time?   I guess you'd need some sort of gimmick.

I've got another theatre question.

Why, when it's about -5 outside do you always fancy an ice cream as soon as an interval happens?

Nothing.

It's just like Gucci shoes and Vitton handbags.

A load of old bollocks

I can only really speak for the house/drum n bass scene but it isn't enough to just be a good in the traditional sense any more (ie choosing what tracks to mix), you need to be able to produce your own studio work too to get noticed. The big producers have therefore spent an awful lot more time listening/studying music so have a wider pool of tracks that they know and are able to mix into their sets which makes them much more interesting to listen to than your average bedroom where in any given set you kinda know what you're gunna get. The best DJs are capable of taking their sets in lots of different directions so when you go to see them play you're going to see something new every time because they're not relying on pre-recorded mixes.  Its also an experience thing, the more miles they've logged in the clubs the better their feel is for the vibe of the crowd, it builds up a really sick atmosphere when they're really zoned in and just nail track after track that the crowd wants to hear.

Why do so many people say "full-time" job when they mean "permanent" job? It seems that the majority use the wrong word, when they are clearly two totally different things. Even on the news today I heard that some workers "had been employed on a temporary basis but are now going to be kept on full-time".

Their technical ability mainly but these days there is a lot of clever marketing and promotion that gets these guys gigs. But you are absolutely correct, there are 'bedroom DJs' out there who are every bit as talented as some people who pack out the clubs in Ibiza.

Why does full time have to mean "permanent" I've had a few full time jobs (as in working a full day) but none of them have been permanent.

There are many who have "part time" jobs (as in they don't work a full day) for years and will continue to do so, who don't see themselves as being employed temporarily.

In this day and age of uncertainty can anyone truly say they have a "permanent" job.
