"Admit One's should be printed long-ways, not with the short edge at the top." Discuss.

No. 438 in a long line of almost interesting controversies. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

You could argue that Admit One's should be printed in landscape format, they're much more aesthetically pleasing that way. Of course some people might argue the other way; they're easier to hand over to the lady at the desk short-end first.

Interested to hear what other people think.

Why do you keep trying to stir up controversy about Ceroc? :angry:

You've missed the important point of which side the card should be printed - the front or the back.

Why do you keep trying to stir up controversy about Ceroc? :angry:For goodness sakes, why don't you read what I actually wrote, instead of what you think I said.

I actually wrote a polite version of this message but decided to post the rude one instead.

I think admit ones should not be printed landscape. Too easy to confuse them with business card.... :what:

The really big question is... what colour should they big, with the secondary issue of which style of font to use.

And credit card size is so boring don't you think? Surely Admit Ones should be larger so you don't try to hand over your Visa or Amex card by mistake - they are too special and important just to be kept in a wallet with all your other plastic.

This is the kind of thread I read the forum for - in depth, serious discussion of the really important issues in today's complex Ceroc world. :what: (totally straight face) Keep up the good work, ESG.

All this fiddling about with card ... so C20th.

Ceroc should tatoo people on the neck with "3D bar codes", use biometrics, or implant microprocessors in people's necks, then just update the "central" database with: admit one's, inclination to dance with beginners, etc, so when the punter arrives their dance experience and bill can be uniquely tailored to their personal requirements and credit status.

Get with the programme.

They are the best and most consistent out of all the dance organisations.

Some people will just grab any chance to slag off Ceroc...

Why is asking if something should be in portrait or landscape being seen as a criticism of the item itself? Am I missing something? :sick:

Next he'll be saying they're all mass produced in a factory...

Well, invalid in an artistic kind of way...

Maybe we need an ODA to propose and argue the opposing view...

As the legal representative for a consortium of specially trained Admit One painters I would like to express deep concern, even resentment, at that subjective and qualitative statement which has proffered with no factual evidence.

It should be perfectly obvious to anyone who isn't a complete Philistine that differences in the cards are owing to individual artistic expression and do not in any way reflect on the quality of the work.

That's all right if all you want is script-based painting, but it isn't art.

In that case we would like to sue the ass* off those who are causing trauma and distress amongst parrots through stifling their artistic expression by forcing them to conform to your fascist ideas of what entails a proper script.

*yes, this is deliberate

Admit ones are anti-social and elistist. It's just what I would expect from ceroc :whistle:

Now now boys- if we can't say something nice about admit ones perhaps we shouldn't say anything at all. We should just respect their right to exist and the fact that they have an intrinsic purpose after all :whistle:
LMC could I have some of your popcorn? I have the right change!

In what way DianaS are they anti-social and elitist?

I got one yesterday for being a demo for the first time which i think is nice as it gives me free entry next time i want to go to ceroc, can't see why that would be anti-social and elitist?

I would like to see them landscape though, not portrait.

I would just like to say how disgusted I am with the non-blatant sarcasm of some of the respondents on this thread, which seems to be causing some confusion.

From now on, please can all subtlety be removed from any sarcastic or ironic remarks.

Back to the topic in hand:

It is well known that portraits are of people, and therefore naturally attuned to dancing, whereas many landscapes are cold and impersonal.

To test this, I did a survey of the 27 admit ones in my wallet. 19 were in portrait orientation and only 8 were in landscape. This clearly proves my point, and shows portrait is in fact the most favourable orientation.

I appreciate some of you logic-bound, not-in-touch-with-your-senses science types will dispute this, but I think we can all see the evidence is clear...

:whistle:

No no, i think this is completely unaccepable research........you have not explained why you have so many admits ones. Without the supporting information i'm afraid i can't accept this. Oh too late, Landscape wins.

Well, I'm sorry, but that's clearly unimportant, because of the small and unrepresentative sample size.

To have a truly representative and statistically meaningful result, you'd need to have examined several thousand cards.

And even then I wouldn't believe it.
