Today I'm angry about.....

[clapton is god]

£40 a ticket to watch Lisa Stansfield? £40 a ticket to watch Ultravox (in the Gods with restricted legroom). Pop music - poke it up your bottoms!#

Squeeze £50:75 REAR stalls

I've seen every appearance of Eric Clapton at the MEN but tickets for his show next year went on sale this week. At £75 they can stick 'em up their collective jacksies!

Blimey .... that's steep.

Not sure I'd pay that to see a back-from-the-dead Hendrix & Kossoff.

OK, I would, but not when they came around quite regularly.

stump up 50 to do
Lisa Stansfield's rear stalls.

Ah.

Then the lesson learnt was yours, methinks.

Indeed, normally i get an email adress or something to confirm but was a bit harrassed by children when answering the phone and have been inundated with people wanting private lessons at the moment - which is great! But means i spend most of my weekend in the pool!

.... and your weekdays free.

C'mon ..... positive thought, positive thoughts.

A nice business plan in leafy Sussex with all the yummy-mummies. You should keep a list of the names you are teaching. I bet there aren't many David's or Ann's !!

Noone calls their child David or Ann anymore. We aren't back in the 1950's

I do normally keep a list - its entirely my fault about this one. Still annoyed though

(and i work 3 afternoons a week too and 'weekdays' aren't 'free' You try looking after 2 tearaway toddlers! )

But more in control that while at the school and, dare I guess, more earning potential too !

Far less stressed - and more hours there for the future if i want them i suspect... Was a good move. Suits me for now with a young family. May get bored of just doing swimming long term and want to return to teaching PE but for now am happy!

[Bijou Bob]

Feel for you GG. I get exactly the same with counselling clients. 3 didn't turn up last week but as its a free service I can't even charge them. They've been shoved to the bottom of my list though.

I always found when I worked for myself that the way to ensure commitment was to take money up front. It ensures commitment and if they don't show, you're quids in!

I lived across the road from Bernard Whitaker, whom owned the store on Deansgate. He called his two children David and Ann(e). Of course they were born in the 1940s.

[Bruce Rioja]

Nowt wrong with David. Well, not as a middle name anyway
