Time wasters are sadly as annoying and unavoidable as mosquitoes and other nuisances but I can live with them.  But people not knowing Etta James ? now that is really terrible! 

Timewasters will never go away. They're part and parcel of this job.

Looks like its time to eat my own advice. Im in a new city and timewasters are on my trail. Just about every call and email has been one. Then when someone genuine comes along you just want to curse the hell up out of them....but I must restrain.

People are just stupid. Leave us the hell alone already with the B.S. I want to tell them that

You can use repellent on the pesky little mossies, too bad there isn't on for TW's

There is no worse animal than man

You know what Abby, your post was one of the most refreshingly honest posts I've read in a long time and I
must admit I laughed too because I've been there soooo many times. I have a a Celtic temperament and so fly
off the handle very easily. Actually, it's too my credit that I've only decked one client in my career. 

Good friends in this industry are so very important and when I get to breaking point it's usually Highland
Amanda ( my touring buddy ) who gets it from me. 

For example :

"CAN I JUST SAY I AM SICK OF MEN WHO HAVEN'T SEEN A SHOWER SINCE THEIR COMMUNION, THOSE WHO THINK STICKING THEIR TONGUE IN MY MIDDLE EAR IS EROTIC, THOSE WHO THINK THEY'VE GOT ONE OVER ON ME BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR A POXY HALF HOUR APPOINTMENT WHEN IN REALITY I WANTED TO FINISH WATCHING HOLBY CITY ANYWAY, THOSE WHOSE BREATH WOULD STRIP TWO LAYERS OF WOODCHIP WALLPAPER, THOSE WHO KISS LIKE AN OVER EXCITED DALMATION AND MOST OF ALL, THOSE WHO THINK CUNNILINGUS INVOLVES SINKING THEIR TEETH INTO MY LABIA WITH ALL THEIR MIGHT. I'VE FUCKING HAD IT."

She pours me a nice cool glass of wine and points me gently in the direction of lastminute.com because a wee
holiday is very obviously required. 

We've all been there. 

Well, things have got back to normal around here, at last.
Had a few nice bookings this week and any enquiries I have had have been from nice sounding, genuine guys that want some time next month when they are down this way working.

I think that when Chatman last called me up and I picked up and left the phone right in front of Alan Titchmarsh and Gloria Hunniford, that might have been slightly too much for him to take (it is for me anyhow, I just could not find the remote to change the channel and my Tv is new so I don't know yet how to do it on the buttons - in fact, I can't even find the buttons on the Tv itself!!)

He must have thought, you know, if this woman watches Alan Titchmarsh, there really is no point.... So I have not heard from him again!


I have the remote now, next time I will put Kerrang or something on, loud and leave him rocking off alone while I go make a cuppa!


I would be careful flying about America Joey - your pilots keep falling asleep or overshooting the runways! Actually, that sound just about right and typical for men! Crikey!
