You have my apologies. You are right, I shot my mouth off too quick, and without thought.

Yes, too bad they spent 950k on those gold and platinum helmets for the photo.

Gazjoe- Yesterday I thought we were just having a bit of light-hearted banter, and that you understood I don't consider myself a hipster, a trendy, or whatever else. But now it seems that you really were having a pop at me. The word "audience" has several meanings: 1. The spectators or listeners assembled at a performance, for example, or attracted by a radio or television program. 2. A body of adherents; a following. ... (dictionary.com) Even if Daft Punk aren't playing a show in Shanghai, they still clearly have a large "body of adherents; a following" who are eager to see them. That "body of adherents" is made up of French hipsters / people who like new-fangled music / people who might see the irony in a white, bald, 30 year old englishman using the terms "deets" and "steez".

2,000 x 500 = 1,000,000 RMB pure profit. Not bad for 2 weeks of work. The figure sounds a bit like BS to me though.

you write for an english-language website, but your understanding of english is so poor. And your writing in that language is that of a child. Stick to being (your words) a "30 year old bald Software Engineer ladykiller"

Jeez, do I really have to explain this ... if they don't play, there will be no audience.

Right now it looks like the rumour of a Daft Punk gig sold 2,000 tickets in a few days. Suggests there's a strong potential audience for Daft Punk to me.

Daft punk

I'm not sure what point you're making about someone (Daft Punk? Bananas? Me?) having no audience, but I do know I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight.

gazjoe

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:31:51 +0800

so ... no audience, and you can't write. And you are a trendy, not a hipster. Best of luck with that. Bye.

Damn I wish you hadn't quoted that before I could fix it. They sold 2,000 tickets for the Daft Punk show, an it turned out to be a hoax. A hipsters lot is not a happy one (happy one).

You write so badly. Give it up and stick to being a "30 year old bald Software Engineer ladykiller"

"The "Shaft Punk" scandal is all anyone is the Gin Mills, Taverns and Ale Houses around town." Again ... that makes no sense.

James Creegan

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:24:59 +0800

Are you living in some sort of cave? The "Shaft Punk" scandal is all anyone is talking about in the Gin Mills, Taverns and Ale Houses around town.

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:22:31 +0800

So Daft punk will be getting an audience here in Shanghai?

James Creegan

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:22:03 +0800

Oh well excuse my steez. I'll have you know that's the kind of backslang that all of us 30 year old bald Software Engineer ladykillers use these days!

Details, they are called details, you incorrigible trendy, not "deets".

James Creegan

French hipsters / people who like new-fangled music.

gazjoe

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:13:35 +0800

And what audience might that be? Ho ho.

James Creegan

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:24:27 +0800

gazjoe- I'm guess you're not in the target audience.

gazjoe

Tue, 10 Feb 2009 20:12:45 +0800

And why on earth would anyone pay money for Daft Punk? You'd have to be very, very daft to do that.

I read all the above, and I couldn't understand a word.
