I’ve already got 2 interested in ten minutes. Shall I book the royal Albert hall or the QEII centre?

WrathoSWhlttIeKIop · 03/09/2019 08:39

Apparently I'll get ejected if I am disruptive.

Cos I'm always getting into trouble me.
No, I just want to observe

Racing in the masters cycling event at Manchester in October.
Those twitter comments lol.

I'd love to go to watch the show.
Itl be fucking marvelous.

DickKerrLadies · 03/09/2019 07:58

Yeah I'd pay £25 to see that. It'd be more informative.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 03/09/2019 07:58

I could get more than 8 people to turn up if it was just me on stage farting the national anthem.

Will you take my £25 please LordProf?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/09/2019 07:51

Look. I’ve organised many events in my time. I could get more than 8 people to turn up if it was just me on stage farting the national anthem.

GirlDownUnder · 03/09/2019 07:48

8 tickets - seems a lot judging by the rapturous not response when the talk was announced on twitter - check out those ratios 😂

And while digging for that screen grab, (re)found this twitter thread

mobile.twitter.com/rachelvmckinnon/status/1161253932984950786

😂😂😂😂 flights paid for and and paying an honorarium.

By the by what happened to the $30k paid speaking tour in Japan (RM first mentioned beginning of August saying it was 6 weeks away)!?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/09/2019 07:24

8 tickets? That’s not huge and there was a lot of publicity. They need a better PR.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 03/09/2019 07:24

McKinnon's talk has been rescheduled just like my prostate exam has been rescheduled.

Both happening on the 12th of never.

AnyOldPrion · 03/09/2019 07:22

I believe the Wiki page has been edited more than once. Dr Louise Moody was responsible for the version pictured upthread, I believe.

GirlDownUnder · 03/09/2019 00:25

Maria Mac was responsible for the wiki page. She blogged about it.

I posted up thread that RMcK tweeted that the talk was rescheduled for early next year....

Well KF begs to differ - whoops.

If was going to pay for a talk, I'd want it to be by someone who understands that they need to know what they're talking about, rather than someone who asserts otherwise....

I wish the wikijacker had included the full title to Mczkinnons thesis, the people who (in)corrected it might have left that in as its objectively true.

JoyceJeffries · 01/09/2019 18:40

I might go to a McKinnon talk if I was given £25. Who is insane enough to want to pay to see McKinnon talking about eating pies, cheating at cycling and working at some shitville university? Hardly inspirational.

AlwaysTawnyOwl · 01/09/2019 18:06

Excellent Wiki!

MonkeyToesOfDoom · 01/09/2019 17:50

I can see a McKinnon talk being popular with all of their twitter followers...

Picture it now, close your eyes, see the hall see the chairs.. each taken by a McKinnon Twitter follower.. three real people, 100 empty places and 64 socks..

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 01/09/2019 14:52

I doubt if their Twitter followers have the attention span to sit through a 15-30 minute talk.

I'm sure automated bot accounts can sit through a lot.

RoyalCorgi · 01/09/2019 14:45

I strongly suspected McKinnon would be hard pushed to find people to attend even if the ticket prices were brought down to £5. Who is going to be interested? I doubt if their Twitter followers have the attention span to sit through a 15-30 minute talk.

ThePurported · 01/09/2019 14:03

I'd pay £25 to hear someone like Martina Navratilova talk about fairness in sports.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 01/09/2019 13:58

How arrogant would you have to be to think people would pay £25 to hear you?

ThePurported · 01/09/2019 13:53

Yeah, not sure about rescheduling if ticket sales were embarrassing, and that's before McK had gloated at a young woman's terminal cancer.
If it does happen, I'll go along if it's free, I'm quite partial to bad science as entertainment.

testing987654321 · 01/09/2019 12:46

Loving that it's got "nothing to do with them" meaning feminists complaining about RM.

No, it's to do with the fact that no-one is interested in what RM has to say.

MockersthefeMANist · 01/09/2019 12:43

Just cut the ticket prices and we'll all come.

thirdfiddle · 01/09/2019 12:38

Suspect someone failed to recognise an ultra polite British brush off. We'll see.

Backintheclosit123 · 01/09/2019 04:44

The first notice did not mention rescheduling at all. Poor Rach, did you have to plead very much for them to add that? In a pigs eye has it been rescheduled.
