    Swearing

    I'm proposing that "Hipsters" becomes a "sweary word" and therefor, a contraband term. Only for use in whispered conversation in dark corners...

    Nevr know, it might even make some of the luvvie-ins remotely interesting for others to read!?!

    So, should the word "Hipsters" be included in the swearing, therefor blacked out, list?

    I don't understand why you Scottish types get so steamed up about it.

    If it's so annoying, move it to Chit Chat rather than Social events and then just ignore it. You don't have to read it even now - and it is pretty quiet now, in comparison with a few months ago.

    We might have Jon Brett and Roger as DJs every week.

    We might have the good fortune to get Amir, Nigel and Viktor teaching every week.

    But it didn't help the English at Blackpool, so shut your whingeing...

    It also has all the pervs, by the sound of it, and the most packed floor, and the most inconsiderate dancers.

    So chill, darling and greatly esteemed Scottish types.

    Well they did just that on the (defunct) Ceroc London forum.
    I can't see Franck wanting to follow that precedent!

    Chris
    I don't know why you English types get so defensive about it.

    And anyway, I'm not a steamed kinda guy: more gently flambed (can't find an "e acute" character.) Did everyone miss the tongue in cheek tone?!?

    To be honest, Chris, I hadn't seen you over react in a while, and thought I'd give you the opportunity. I hope you accepted it with as much grace as it was given.

    So, go have fun; laugh; be merry and don't forget to extract the michael every now and then...

    Actually (please forgive me for being serious, I'll try not to do it too often.. ), I thought I had noticed some genuine irritation from northern parts over the last few months directed at an assumed arrogance on the part of some of us re Hipsters...

    ... so I kind of wondered if this was something to do with that.

    Sorry if I'm being paranoid...

    ... though just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you

    I'd noticed this too - irrespective of which side of the border I was living on.

    To be honest...

    There is a slight dig there, but nothing serious. (I was hoping the poll options would have conveyed the non-seriousness of it all.)

    I've read some good stuff from Hipsters peeps, and some inane drivel. The "are you going, good cos I'm going and we can all have ribena" stuff is a smidgeon disengaging.

    That said, have enjoyed meeting and dancing with Hipsters people.

    Was just tail twisting in my own inimitable fashion. I genuinely hope it didn't offend, but if it did, it can only add to the legend that Hipster people APPARENTLY take themselves a little seriously sometimes. Not that I am agreeing OR disagreeing with that belief...

    For all I do come out with the odd serious post, most of them are just plain odd.

    I'd dread to think if all the people who had experienced even the slightest mickey take on this forum from CJ were stood up head to toe. Why, at least one would fall off.

    anyway... be afraid, be scared, be paranoid even. Just don't think you're that important.

    How'd the song go?

    Something something something... you probably think this song is about you. Mm, can't think. Anyone?

    CJ's just having a day of catching up with a month's worth of the kind of posting he used to be doing on the hour every hour. He's mostly harmless.

    I agree that there was a lot of Hipsters stuff for a while but it was no worse or more luvvie really than the Northerners do for some of our own dos sometimes.

    *chickie serious on*
    Personal opinion is that it would be shoot_in_the_foot_raging_hypocrytical of this forum to go out actively encouraging new members from the rest of the country and then deride them for talking about the venues and subjects that are important to them.

    I for one would love to go to Hipsters to see what it's all about and hope to make it one fine day.

    You're so vain, Carly Simon. Fab song. The funny thing was, it obviously was about him.

    And if I had a LearJet I'd fly it to Nova Scotia to see a total eclipse of the sun...

    Chris, until you've demoed on a stage, which CJ is standing at the decks beside, you'll never really appreciate the [irony]full subtlety of his windups[/irony]. As someone who's personally had to endure:

    elastic bands
    paper airplanes
    obscene gestures
    flirting
    bad record cues
    strange noises (oh wait, that's the records )
    silver paper
    disruptive counting (he has this down to a fine art)

    ...I can fully attest to his peerless abilities on this front (well, there has to be something to compensate for his DJing).

    No wonder poor Mairi's bonkers

    A point of order, M'Lud

    So that I know what Stuart is answering, is that giggling or jiggling?

    I like to know what Ive done!!

    My other fave was with Sheena @ BB: poor girl was convinced she had some kind of mark on her face at the side of her mouth for the first few moves of the class.

    One other point of order: I have never, EVER used paper aeroplanes...

    Well, as an Englishman and a Hipsters dancer, I am obviously more discerning than most...
    ... so I think I'm getting a pretty accurate impression of it

    Chris

    PS Did I just lose the sympathy vote?

    Retracted

    Though that's probably only 'cos they don't bruise

    Jayne, I haven't had the giggling one yet - thank you so much for reminding him of it

    I think that I may have inadvertantly prompted this thread by a comment (made in jest) on another one.

    As has been pointed out above, there was a lot of "hip****s" chit-chat a while ago and it did seemed to invade almost every thread; especially with people chatting were you at hip****s last night and did you see... on threads that had nothing to do with hip****s!

    What made it even more enfuriating {sp?} was that this is the Ceroc Scotland forum and we don't have the chance to have weekly advanced classes {but we still kick ass at competitions }

    Sorry if it offends, but I thought this thread quite amusing.

    Three things:

    1) Franck's your boss man. If you want weekly or monthly advanced classes, moan at him not other forum members who can't do anything about it.

    2) We don't have the chance to get the level of classes that they get in NZ/Australia - but we don't alienate/torment/leg pull the Aussies/NZrs on the forum.

    3) if you don't want non-Scots on the forum why advertise it at the UK's premier dance event?

    Where's my soapbox?? Oh, it's down there.. Stands back and waits for flaming...
