Offline Pablo Ramon, I respect your opinion but I’m just not into classical music. Thinking about it, here’s a new pet peeve, when artists play a part in a music video they didn’t play in the studio. The 2 most classic examples of this is Brian’s non-existent rhythm guitar part in the Somebody To Love music video that he’s seen playing throughout the song and John Lennon ‘s non-existent acoustic guitar part in the Hello Goodbye music video, why do people do these things, it should be outlawed.

Offline My language students (yes..again). Today is St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a national holiday here (…obviously) but because orals are coming up in 2 weeks (German and French worth 25%, Irish worth 40%), I told people to come and I wouldn’t give them much work work to do, we’d just speak in the respective language and I’d give them a mock oral, showing them what grade they would have got in the real thing.
Well…I got 2 texts off people to say ‘no show’ today that’s fine you gave me warning, you shouldn’t be skipping a class because your orals are in 2 weeks but whatevs. I go up to my Granddad’s house on a Friday and drive back for 4 o’clock when my first classes are on.
As you can see it’s 4:15pm and…..my first person hasn’t come, no text, nothing. Ffs don’t assume I want have classes on, I told you I’d see you next week and now I’ve driven home for nothing and I won’t have another person until 7pm grrrrrrr.

Offline Wow, that’s very rude of them @AppleScruffJunior especially since you use your holiday and they seem to do so more often. I don’t want to picture myself after having cut saxophone lessons; my teacher would probably make me die a slow cruel death. Hope this isn’t going to spoil your St. Patrick’s Day…

Offline Due to staff illness and annual leave all but two of our team (circumstance dictates which is fair enough, home life always comes first) are working a lot of extra hours for the next 4-week run. One of the two who isn’t is deeply annoyed that her shifts aren’t what she wanted, not because of home life just that she’d prefer to be in less.
It’s bloody annoying hearing how unfair her shifts are.

I find it a lack of understanding considering how much everyone else is doing to keep the place running.

Sometimes things are more expensive because of age, rarity, and sentimental value. A signed copy of any Beatles album is gonna make it wayyyy more expensive. Not a lot of Beatles records were signed by the Beatles so ones that were are worth more. It’s kinda why the dutch Shell cover Help album is worth so much. While it’s just the Help album with the shell logo in the background of the cover, there were only like 2000 made so its a rarity.

This problem will exist as long as there are enough idio…, hmhm I meant people, that are willing to pay a higher prize for the same quality. But as mentioned before sometimes it isn’t even the same quality but only seems like this at the first glance.

I don’t think she was calling you specifically an idiot. She was calling everyone who does buy them idiots.

All I wanted to say: If there are two identical ( I mean really identical) objects and one can be bought on the internet twice as expensive and there are still people buying it just because they are buying the first thing they see without even checking… well it’s their problem, if they have the money but that’s why overpriced identical items exist -supply and demand ( as mentioned before it does not count for signed copies, objects with a special history etc.)
