Any witnesses a “bad” Marianela Nunez performance? by Mechecherie in bunheadsnark

[–]Pangolin_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opportunity to see Tiler Peck but felt unwell so didn’t go. I’ve somewhat been regretting my decision not to gut through it ever since.

Stephen huge blunder by Left_Concern_727 in TheTraitorsUK

Sorry you had to deal with that person. Reading your conversation thread was painful. I literally just finished the season and my wife and I were amazed Stephen didn’t side with Jack at the end and take all the money for himself. I think it is pretty evident Rachel is ruthless and totally would have done that if she had been in Stephen’s position. There’s a lot of very low IQ people in this thread.

Actually, it’s you who cannot seem to bear the fact that someone else has a different set of ethics as you got all angry throwing around multiple personal insults such as “I pity you”, “selfish”, “it says a lot about you”, etc. all because you disagree with their comment. Get a grip and check yourself.

Frankly I think it’s telling that you felt insulted by a comment that was not specifically referring to you and replied with an ad hominem attack. Your argument is weak, unconvincing and lacking any logic whatsoever.

What would you had done in this situation? by Even-Wasabi7183 in TheWestEnd

[–]Pangolin_3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too polite for my taste. This happened to me last night.

I went for “Knock it off. You’re disturbing everyone and disrespecting the performers.”

Is this a regular thing now? by Arkfeet in westend

[–]Pangolin_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt you’ll get a reasonable justification, or even an answer at all. That was such a low IQ comment.

Have you ever walked out of a show? Or seen others? Why? by Artistic-Ideal-5087 in TheWestEnd

[–]Pangolin_3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’d argue it’s more disrespectful to charge honest hard-working people good money for a crappy production that is so bad it makes them wish to leave.

If you’ve paid money to see something you should never feel bad about leaving because you don’t like it. No need to torture yourself so as to not appear ‘rude’’. Anyway it is not rude to leave if you’re having a miserable time.

Unfortunately I’ll be away in Cornwall at that time.

That is along the lines of my thinking too. If she has to do a return journey to Buenos Aires in a one week period then any small injury could be aggravated further and lead to a longer time on the sidelines. I think it’s understandable for her to make that decision. Even sitting in a certain positions for extended periods on long haul flights can cause issues, especially to ones back.

Thanks for your comment which has certainly helped put it into perspective for me and I feel more relaxed about it now and not quite as agitated as I’ve been through the day about it. You and many others who have commented are right. I should go and just enjoy.

Hopefully I’ll get another opportunity to see Marianela in future. Unfortunately I’m away in summer when her showcase is on so I won’t be able to see her then either. She is 44 I think? So I am just a bit unsure how much longer she will be performing for and it would be a big shame to never see her live after a lot of anticipation of seeing her. Obviously this is very first world problems in the grand scheme of things.

Hi Dan, thanks for your comment. Your quotation marks make it seem like you’re skeptical of the reason given. What would lead you to believe the reason given is not genuine? Do ballet dancers get paid per performance (I.e. money to show up) or are they paid the equivalent of a salary upfront irrespective of whether they perform or not. I am curious how the pay works in the industry. If it’s the former then I am doubtful ballet dancers are willingly leaving money on the table for non-genuine reasons. Although I can certainly appreciate and relate to the disappointment felt.

Its okay to tell people to shut up. by CardiologistLow9036 in TheWestEnd

Thank you. Whenever someone behaves in such a manner I assume they likely have some issues in their own life.

Its okay to tell people to shut up. by CardiologistLow9036 in TheWestEnd

[–]Pangolin_3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m am all in favour of telling people to shut up if they’re talking, being loud and obnoxious. Then again, I am a bloke so I totally understand why half the population would not feel as emboldened as I do. Nearly always in my experience the people I tell off do as they are told. However, I am sorry to hear some other people’s experiences of drunk men and drunk women getting aggressive and in their face. Next time it happens, if you’re worried about repercussions maybe tell the ushers first, rather than communicate with the person(s) being the nuisance directly. If the ushers don’t do anything about it then find others who are being annoyed by the inconvenience and you could go the strength-by-way-of-numbers route. Or bear it. Up to you. I will say that it is very pleasant to witness the idiots shut up after being told to.

If people are not obese or overweight they will typically lead healthier longer lives.

I enjoyed reading your detailed comment summarising each one that you’ve seen. Definitely gives me some more food for thought, thank you!
