Chelsea – thoughts
Posted: Sat 28 May, 2005 Filed under: Reviews(ish), Thoughts 3 Comments »Well, we’re back. Knackered, but enjoyed most of the time at Chelsea. In fact – and most people won’t be surprised by this at all – the thing that detracted from the entire thing the most for me can be simply phrased in two words. “Other people”.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to deal with that many rude and ignorant/obnoxious people all in one space. I’ve been barged, rammed, trodden on, knocked, walked into, and basically just ended up truly fucked off with ignorant arsewipe motherfuckers who’ve decided that they want to see/do something, so that’s what they’ll do, and bollocks to anyone who might get in the way of that. And the number who just stomp across the viewline of someone with a camera at their eye, then sigh and tut when someone else does it to them – well, words fail me. Actually, no they don’t. But people really don’t like to hear the expression “hypocritical fat-arsed tosswagon cunt” in a genteel atmosphere like Chelsea is supposed to have.
Other than that though, I did enjoy the huge majority of the show. The “Best in Show” is over-rated in my opinion, and the Conran-designed “Peace garden” for the Imperial War Museum should’ve been far higher rated than it was. Given the choice, I’d have swapped the two medals. But there we go, that’s a personal perspective.
Over 120 photos were taken, so I’m going to go through them tomorrow before putting together a nice new page with photos and some more thoughts.
No offense but I’m surprised to hear you rant about this. Seriously, what did you expect?? You need to get to a point where, whether you agree or not, you just have to put up with the fact that there are a lot of inconsiderate people about.
Either that or you’ll have a heart attack soon!
I know, I shouldn’t get pissed off about people being ignorant and inconsiderate fuckers.
It’s just sometimes I get tired of always being the one to alter path so I don’t collide with the twats. And if I don’t move out of the way, somehow it becomes my fault.
No-win situation – which does piss me off on occasion. I know it shouldn’t, but there we go, sometimes it still does. Sad, but true.
Yeah I know where you are coming from. However my approach these days is that it’s not my fault, I’ll move a little but that’s it. If they get a shoulder charge because they weren’t watching, so be it.
