This made me question whether hanging around after shows was the done thing. I'm sorry to say that I don't ever do it - mainly because I think the performer deserves to relax and go home or to their hotel afterwards - perhaps have a drink - and not be pestered. And, to tell the truth, when I was younger and did that kind of stuff, it was probably (selfishly) to make myself feel special, like I had a rapport with the performer - not really for them. Please remember the not so noticeable majority of us simply watch your shows (I go back as far as the finding Dave Gormans originally) and will come along to the tour (perhaps bringing someone who hasn't seen you before), laugh uncontrollably and clap heartily and go home at the end of the show and tell our friends and colleagues about what a brilliantly clever and funny man you are. We all do appreciate the work you do and don't normally tell you in person. Thanks.<br />P.S. can't wait till the Giraffe joke - it better be brilliant or I'll slam you down on Twitter ;) (obviously not - one thing this blog has taught me is that you never can be too sure how people might react!)Stealthyjaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150591320919068824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-55647058567264366172019-11-13T22:51:13.009+00:002019-11-13T22:51:13.009+00:00Seems like another instance of belief perseverance...Seems like another instance of belief perseverance which Twitter is full of.<br />It goes like this:<br />1) I make a statement with an underlying belief or opinion (Dave Gorman is in the wrong here)<br />2) You refute that statement, pretty conclusively<br />3) I refuse to accept that you have refuted it, because I need to persevere with my initial belief - even though the obvious rational explanation would be to back down with good grace and no hard feelings<br />4) You categorically show that I was wrong in my original statement, some other people may also join in to point out just how wrong I am.<br />5) I'm now desperate not to abandon my original belief - although I may be able to modify it slighty ("Well, if Dave Gorman wasn't in the wrong here, he might have been in the wrong a year ago, because my mate said he pretty much blanked her at that gig we went to, so basically, my belief still stands")<br />The moral of the story is basically the same as the Giraffe joke of course! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894448845217869674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588205362847565197.post-34352079897632696582019-11-13T19:22:48.872+00:002019-11-13T19:22:48.872+00:00I’ve got a good giraffe joke, but I darent make it...I’ve got a good giraffe joke, but I darent make it in case it’s the same one.
