taxman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 There was a Rick Stein Food Heroes programme when he interviewed a partridge farmer who claimed that during a shoot someones phone went off and the keeper took it off the person, threw it in the air and shot it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gneighbour Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I was there too -- didn't spot you PT -- luckily we were right at the back so only heard one of the phones. Was it just us or was there some laughter at not particularly funny moments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublewood Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Yes there was some laughter at not particularly funny moments, it made the whole thing seem a little strange:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdyamos Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Was it just us or was there some laughter at not particularly funny moments? Are you sure it wasn't someone's 'alternative' ringtone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterw Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Plain Talker. I take it from the tone of your rant you were slightly upset. I sympathise, and tell you that if it’s any consolation we ued to get slightly less interruptions — annoyeing but withstandable — from people coughing, sneezing and crunching bags of Smith’s Crisps; the only crisps around in those days. I’m annoying, I know, but apart from those wonderful electronic contraptions did you enjoy the play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic_rat Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yeah it was me, I just do it to wind people up, I get a kick out of been inconsiderate........ I also drive through puddles to wet people, try and knock cyclists of their bikes, go through traffic lights on red, serve people in shops in a surly manner and generally be awkward..............

uncleheed Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 If I remember correctly,it was Richard Griffiths who grabbed the mobile phone and spoke into it. There should be a stop and search for mobile phones at theatre and cimema entrances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm glad it's not just me who is as irritated with this issue. Re the "innapropriate laughter" :- I was sat right at the back left, up in "the Gods". The laughter seemed to be coming from the far left hand side, as you look at the stage. It sounded to me like the kind of "outbursts" that someone with a severe learning disability would make (speaking as someone who used to nurse people with LD's) that didn't bother me. There was no tannoy announcement made, prior to the performance, which said <tongue in cheek mode> "Would all audience members accompanying people with mental handicaps please ensure that they are bound and gagged during the performance.." </tongue in cheek mode>. noises like that a) don't faze me, and b) can't be helped. the noise of a mobile phone going off, in a quiet theatre, is very intrusive and distracting. That CAN be helped. At one point, Nigel Harman had to raise his voice, considerably, in order that his speech be heard over the ringing of phones.

NEKRO138 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I hate mobiles going off at inoppurtune times. However, I hate theatre more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
