I was looking for reviews for this show before I decide whether to buy tickets and came across this one. What a charmer! Surely you review the show and the venue, not make judgemental, misogynistic comments about the women in the audience? I am surprised it got published.

I found it quite funny fwiw paints quite the picture Grin."throwing shapes" Grin

stickygotstuck · 13/12/2018 08:29

YANBU. At all.

PetuliaBlavatsky · 13/12/2018 08:29

I agree with you OP, what an obnoxious review.

jenthelibrarian · 13/12/2018 08:32

That's disgusting, please do complain.
The reviewer is 'male aged 50-64'. Who would have guessed?

George Michael Tribute act

Be prepared though to be surrounded by bloated, prosecco fuelled, menopausal middle aged women attempting to throw some shapes, with the unmistakeable aroma of femfresh hanging in the air.

I think he's trying to be funny.. but it's not, I'd report yes

buttyblahblah · 13/12/2018 08:39

If you read his other reviews there are an amusing amount of errors, like new instead of knew, which I find quite satisfying from such a pompous knob.

Sallygoroundthemoon · 13/12/2018 08:44

I think it's quite amusing but more seriously, I'm a believer in free speech and luckily this is not Orwell's 1984. It's not your job to censor reviews and you obviously have too much time on your hands.

SurfnTerfFantasticmissfoxy · 13/12/2018 08:50

Yeah I'm with Sally - he's undoubtedly a barely literate cunt but then so are a goodly proportion of contributors to trip advisor. My DF almost bases his choice on it now - if somewhere has a stinking and ridiculous review from someone who is quite clearly a twat he sees it as a sign that he'll probably like it 😂

dangerinthemanger · 13/12/2018 08:52

I found it amusing. Way more important things to get het up about.

busybarbara · 13/12/2018 08:58

Maybe it's because I'd have no problem putting something like "full of daft old codgers stinking of pound shop Brut" in a review myself that this didn't bother me.

VeganCow · 13/12/2018 09:04

I found it funny. I was also 'surrounded by bloated, prosecco fuelled, menopausal middle aged women attempting to throw some shapes' at a Stereophonics gig...can't be offended really, seeing as I am one myself, (apart from the fact I don't drink and wasn't throwing shapes haha)

whatsthestory123 · 13/12/2018 09:10

OFGS mn is awash with offended posts lately

why do you feel its your job to police that comment

you must constantly spend your time being pc and being offended

i really cant get annoyed by a comment by somebody and report it and then run to MN to ask them you either think its wrong what they posted or right you really dont need a pat on the head from randoms on the net

i would have better things to do

TwistedChristmas · 13/12/2018 09:11

I've reported the twat

Usernumbers1234 · 13/12/2018 09:14

My god, you lot really need more in your lives if you have the time to register a complaint about this, hilarious.

blackteasplease · 13/12/2018 09:17

Yanbu. Nothing to be mocked about that guy and his age group I'm sure!

Shirleyphallus · 13/12/2018 09:19

I thought it was funny. Nothing to be offended about.

blackteasplease · 13/12/2018 09:20

It's a bit like "oh no women are having a nice time, let's put them off by ridiculing them. Can't have that". And "oh some women have found an affordable (compared to Champagne) drink they actually enjoy. Better make that into an object of scorn too".

amusedbush · 13/12/2018 09:21

Crikey, some folk are easily offended! It's not the wittiest thing I've ever read but I did snort at the image it conjured.

forumdonkey · 13/12/2018 09:27

I'm exactly this age demographic and I thought his review was funny.

You're easily offended

SylviaAndSydney · 13/12/2018 09:31

Funnily, I was surrounded by bloated, prosecco fuelled, menopausal middle aged women attempting to throw some shapes at an Ed Sheeran concert earlier this year. I didn’t leave a review though, I’d have had to start with Dire Ed first.

forumdonkey · 13/12/2018 09:32

blackteasplease, on the contrary to putting me off, it'd make me think it's my kind of show and clearly enjoyed by other women of my age. As for prosecco, it's the current 'trendy' popular drink, just as gin is.

Nothisispatrick · 13/12/2018 09:32

If you’re offended best thing to do is scroll on by, not report report report.

Russiawithlove · 13/12/2018 09:37

Sorry but even as a femfresh hater that made me choke on my tea Grin

championquartz · 13/12/2018 09:38

Pretty appalling.

I cannot see what others find so funny and witty about this review. Misogynism at its best. And internalised misogyny if, as a woman, you find it amusing.
