protect our children from inferior DNA ...

all shorties please jump off a bridge or shoot yourself

short people are funny ... you provide me with hours of entertainment but in light of the obvious proof that you are not 'developing' correctly according to these modern times please check yourself out...

think of the children!

piemel said:

Hey there! So Prince should also jump off a bridge or shoot himself eh? Your life wouldn't be worth living if that happened. Power to the small people! If u can't handle us then...jump off a bridge, oh and shoot yourself first. Thanks

Short arses should hang back to avoid any injury if anything. I am all for small fries advancing to the front at their own risk, but c'mon, if you can't stand the heat get out the kitchen. I am pretty tall but even i had to tolerate 15 minutes on the tube with my face inches from some massive guys sweaty armpit.

purplepassion72 said:

Ha Ha! Too right! I'm the same height as Prince (with or without high heels!) We may be small- but so is dynamite - so watch out!

scandalousalan said:

Armpit? Lucky you, I only got as far as his groin.

I'm a pretty average 5"3 (for a girlee that's pretty average) so I'm not short enough for people to take pity - but still short enough that most times- I can't see past taller people. It's a bugger - so I stood on step. OK I was further away - but I had space to dance - could relieve myself (no,,, not that way of my bags and coat) and also could see most without having to break my neck. I think the idea of a school photo type organisation is good though - everyone must be happy with that - or perhaps the dancefloor should be rotating - so that everyone gets a few minutes at the front every now and again - should mention that to Indigo2 people - a rotating plinth for orgers please!

Nevermind the wooly jumper - I tell no lies... a rather tall man (on his own) got out and ATE SOME SANDWICHES during the aftershow on 9th. I KID YOU NOT! Now - I was bloody famished (something to do with not eating after 1pm on a 'show night' because of nerves/ toilet avoidance) and I did wonder at times if I could make the whole show standing - but I managed it. A little starvation for a day is no real sacrifice for a Prince show - but eating a PACKED LUNCH during the aftershow - PEOPLE!

Apologies to you if you're on here - I'm sure you're a very nice chap and I dig anyone who can be that brave as to stand like a statue during a whole INCERDIBLE aftershow on your ownsome!

I see little wrong with that. I mean some of us are travelling from across the country, others further and hunger does take its toll. I was just thankful the girl at lockers(main show) took my massive rucksack or i wouold have had to cart it to my seat.

Easter said:

That's just tooo funny! Sandwich Man! Prince must laugh his head off at our eccentricities. Think it's brilliant. Who's up for a picnic on Weds or Thurs? We could spread out a travel rug & crack open the Thermos flask...Parteeee

vikki said:

scotch egg anyone ?

vikki said:

I'm up for that - was pretty hungry myself - could have Org picnic in middle of dancefloor. When I saw The Who last year - there were loads of people there who'd bought the whole kit - sunchairs/ rugs/ picnic hampers - not very rock and roll! Most of them cleared up during the show and actually stood up - but not all of them!

Scandalousalan - My point is simply that - surely he could have eaten his sandwiches BEFORE the big man came on stage? He was stood in front of my for a good hour or so - but didn't eat his sandwiches until about 1:30am!

Scotch eggs are a bit 'crumby' - we'd probably have to get someone to sweep up after us! Thinking more caviar, champers, strawberries type affair??? Needless to say my bank account can probably only go to a few pork pies these days!

Easter said:

I take your point, yes that is quite funny i must say. There is something inherently geeky about a grown man with packed lunch. On a slight tangent i saw guy at the O2 buy and subsequently wolf down 3x cheeseburger at the inflated price of £6 a shot. I guess the guy with the packed sandwhiches had the last laugh in that respect.

scandalousalan said:

Each time I've been to see Prince at the 02 I've got there early and gone for a meal in Nando's or some other place which I can't remember the name - looks like it has a cowboy and indian theme with seats outside.

Sorry all you shorties out there, but your troubles at concerts are nothing compare to what us lanky types have to suffer for hours and hours on aeroplanes.

Which would you choose?

stereoboy said:

Prince concert being able to see everything unhindered... or flying long haul.... Erm - I think the concert would win out every time! Try not to fly so much is easy answer to that problem.

scandalousalan said:

Hey, I CAN stand the heat that's why I wanna be in (Prince's) kitchen, cooking up a storm.

Easter said:

Too right `Easter'. This ain't a post about the problems of flying.

lbanks said:

love it!

I agree.

I was there on Sunday night and was surrounded by a bunch of big smelly men who just stood there like they were statues..

Why do men listen to music this way? What is it that they are listening to so intensly that they have to have a frowned, strained expression on their face??

I wish they'd bloody stand at the back. They ruin it for those who really want to enjoy themselves.

I dunno???

Weird?

pepper7 said:

Hang on a minute! We aren't ALL like that you know!!!

westv said:

Yes, unfair generalisation. Could all the real statue men spray themselves gold and go and stand in Covent Garden. Moving statues are welcome at Aftershow.

Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Round here

Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Hi there:

well, I'm a real tall guy (about 6'8'') and as I'm also a nice guy, I usually don't go front row, but stay in the back - like I did last sunday, when I was a few feet in front of the mixing desk. Still a nice view, as I probably see more than you smaller friends. When my friend (5ft) said that she saw the mans face I could tell her what shoes he was wearing .

Anyway, I think that one does not have the right to say "the tall people in the back", if they're in early to get a nice place, as I could answer "the small in the balcony". I think, being friendly is the best way. At least, if someone asks friendly (instead of pushing, etc.) if he can stand in front of me, I usually answer gently "of course!". Try this next sunday with the tall guy with longer hair and you see what I mean. Buy me a pint and I may lend you my shoulders for one or two tracks .

cheers,

Laufi

Laufi said:

Hi Laufi - I'm not too short but my friend Angie is - I might buy that pint for you on Sunday!

Cheers, Miranda (main show Block 110, row H, seats 315/316, and aftershow standing)

If we do that then the man himself won't be on the stage

At the show on Sunday night I was surrounded by people having a great time - and on my left was one long row of about 8 guys who sat throughout the show without moving. A few half heartedly sang along but they didn't get up once. They left before the encore. I kept thinking, my mate could have had your ticket and would have actually appreciated the show!
