A Pat on the Back

[Cruella]

I see. So giving a big up to the DJ who works at that venue is different how, exactly?

It's obvious that Gus was praising this Dj from the perspective of a teacher. It's not as if he was making out that he went there purely because it is a fantastic venue from a punters point of view. Don't see what the problem is?

I don't see what the problem is either... this is suppose to be a 'happy' thread where people praise their local heroes - and ESG happens to lower the tone - again.

So ...... nobody want to say anything nice about anybody????

Oh, OK, then, it goes against the grain, but just this once.

Jackie, the taxi manager at Finchley, is really nice - friendly, supportive, down-to-earth. One of the unsung heroes - she does all the work and the teachers / DJs get all the glamour.

There. Phew, that was hard work.

[Trousers]

Good managers use praise extensively to build a positive atmosphere and to set organisation goals and ethos.

e.g Not X - you look like a tramp.
but, in X's hearing - Y always looks so smart and ....

Yeah ok I think we all get that and I think we all appreciate praise when we get it

But is Donna gonna print out the post and go to Chester tonight and Say "Oh Neillyweely look what GussWussy wrote about you!??"
Nah 'corse not. Gus knows he don't use the forum. What does that mean then?

As part of the management team - which I think is where a lot of the friction is stemming from here - Gus should have said his praise in person to Neil.

Praise for a Venue from one of the TEAM it's a little crass.


It's like me saying 'I'm a great dancer dancer with me baby' to the next gorgeous girl that walks through the door.

Hey Great Plan!

I don't know if Neil is on the Forum. as a DJ I suggested that he checks out the DJ section from time to time so he may a 'lurker'. We all gave Neil praise on the night but thats not what this thread was about.

What praise for the venue? I've just tried to say Neil is an asset to MJ. Ask Keith at Revolution Jive. He's made a big shout about Neil DJing for him on occaision. I don't dance much, and usualy only at Chester, so its the only club I can comment elsewhere. Why not stop having a go and think about who you could 'pat on the back'.

[Trousers]

Perleeese!

I quite often rep up or pat on the back as you say DJ's at venues I visit, as well as the venue and indeed individual dancers when I feel the need. usually in the Feedback on club nights thread

And conversely I don't always have a go when i feel someone left something lacking.

[Twirly]

For some odd reason, this "pat on the back thing" makes me think of burping babies...

I bet he is a lurker....just like one of the other Blitz DJ's is on here. You don't have to register to look in that thread anyway or this one either - hope Neil is reading this.

Bleeuurgghhhhhchhhh

Aww forget it!

Is this what you get if you lie face down in a field of cows?

(I wont mention my chalet mate this weekend Patrick Cash )

No I doubt it - so not the way of the forum these days . . .

there's only name dropping, free advertising, having a dig at others and an awful lot of bad language on here

genuinely praise? . . . . . you must be bl00dy joking

[David Bailey]

I agree - and as I said to Viktor and Nina and Mike and Simon only last week, Finchley's a great venue, much better than f*cking Hippodrome, come along you b&stards.
