Scissor Sisters
Went to Doncaster last night to watch the Scissor Sisters. Firstly before I catalogue the events of the evening, can I just say that they were fantastic!!! I suspect they would have been even better if we didn't have to stand in a smoked filled room for 2 and a half hours before they came on, listening to crap dance music at full volume and some old drag queen as the support act that nearly made my ears bleed.
However, aswell as the excellent music, last night was also eventful in that I had my first ever (and hopefully last)violent outburst towards a stranger.
Basically, there was a very drunk man (at first I thought he may have been a mentalist, although by the end of the night I came to the conclusion he was just a drunk twat, so no need to forgive him for his actions) stood behind us. He was in his 40's and was dancing in such a manner that even though we were all crammed in like sardines people had moved to give him his own large space - oh yeah, and he also smelt BAD!
Anyway, throughout the evening, he basically kicked, hit and spat at us in the guise of being drunk and just banging into us - he was actually doing it on purpose but so as to avoid confrontation every time you turned round he acted like he was so spaced he hadn't realised. This culminated in him punching me on the back of the head during the encore, now a) there was no way this could have been an accident and b) it really hurt, which cause me to turn round, scream obscenities at him and shove him - hard - twice! He again pretended not to know why i had done this, so after turning around to watch the last couple of minutes of the show, i decided enough was enough, and turned round, so see him right behind me again so shoved him very hard again, this time sending him flying, and left the building.
For as much as this amused my friends, i didn't really feel very proud of myself for not remaining calmer and being the bigger person, but at times I feel that when people are so horrible, losing your temper is the only avenue you can get down whilst keeping your sanity.
