lizzie_and_ariI hate women who complain about being treated differently because they're women, when really it's because they're stupid, or they're not being treated differently at all.
I also hate FUCKING SEXIST BASTARDS and Australia is the onyl place I have come across them. 2 of them, comedians. I hate them. They're a shit, racist act anyway and they are FUCKING SEXIST BASTARDS (anyone sensing the theme?)
The mic went yesterday at the start of the show, and I was DJing. I suggested to the MC he use the spare one. Grant and I tried to sort it out during the first break and we thought it was sorted, but it failed again. Fortunately there weren't many people in the room, pretty much people could be heard anyway. THe headling act were a musical act, though, so needed more technical stuff. During the 2nd break, Steve, the compere, said he thought it was the lead that was broken, so I said I'd see if we had a spare one. Big Brother Little Brother, the headliners, said that they had one. When I said I would replace the faulty lead with theirs, which we knew worked, the said no no no much better idea, we'll simply use it as a completely unneccessary extnesion lead for the mic that works just fine. I said ok (which to be fair was my stupid fault).
We're still trying to do a sound check, when Steve comes on stage in front of BBLB, and starts the show, randomly, which was wierd. BBLB come on and surprise, surprise, the mic doesn't work. They get primadonnaish and announce there will be another short break. I run up on stage and grab the spare lead and replace the faulty one, just as I wanted to do in the first place, sound is perfectly fine. BBLB get back on stage, express their sincere gratitude to Steve for fixing it, and do their set with perfect sound. Afterwards, they made me, and Ari who had come down to meet me despite the fact our dinner was in the oven, stay while they fiddled with stuff needlessly and kept saying they thought the problem was the amp. I explained several times that if 2 out of 3 mics work, and the third one also works once the lead has been changed, then the problem is probably the lead. They didn;t listen to a word, they just came into the sound box going, so what's this lead? WHy is that different form before, and I explained hos the system worked and I might have well as been a chair.
Agh!!
Sorry. Rant over.
Byee!
