I'll never ever drink at a gig again - especially a wedding.

More later.

That really is a sign of the times, isn't it? I cannot recall the last time I was told, say, 100 are going to be here and 80 plus turned up.

Charlie - I would seriously think before you post if I were you because you will open yourself up to big time grief....(unless of course you were a guest).

I would suggest it could be the right thing to post. If he has a tale of woe that others can learn from, then surely it must be the right thing.

What's the point in just posting, wow what a great night, wow full dance floor all night, wow six cards given out, wow everybody keeps telling me how great I am.

I think one of the biggest mistakes people make can be drinking whilst on duty and yes I am guilty of it at times.

Charlie has been here long enough to know what to expect.

Exactly - and his post is a little teaser to get reaction!

Charlie either either post the full story or don't post at all - stop trying to get attention!

On the way to the wedding I did on Thursday I hit a traffic jam, I knew I could go a different way and that if I'd waited in the jam it would have taken 1 hour +. I was in good time but was still a little panicked, so thought it best to reverse a little and go back the way I came to take another route.

I checked my mirrors, reversed and CRUNCH !!! Straight into a Ford Fiesta with my extremely industrial tow bar, pushing the front of the lady's car into a shape I can only describe as a 'write off'. She was so close to my rear I didn't see her, still my fault though :o

Took me half an hour to calm her down and give her my details, explaining I have a wedding to get to ! Not a scratch on the van but not a great start to any gig really, huh?

I was on time for the wedding and it went well, in case you wondered lol,

I lost 2 years no claims but escaped paying excess as my van wasn't touched.

Jeez Mark, that is a terrible start to a gig. Fairplay to you. The show must go on.

Charlie, I have literally fallen out of DJ boxes in the past, and still not skipped a beat (bars/clubs) you obviously can't handle your drink ;)

Believe me mate, I want to hear what he has to say and I agree with what you say.

That is not at all a helpful comment. Not at all.

Sorry Gary, I'm with Martin on this. Charlie's got form for this sort of thing, even if it's a misguided attempt at humour.

At my wedding,it was arranged that around 11pm it would play a 30 minute old school rave set.This was brilliant,groups such as ttf,tom wilson,qfx,qtx,base generator,love decade,dream frequency.There was also a guy who used to mc at events such as the rez and the fubar,so he also joined in.

This was also my kind of tunes so i to enjoyed the 30 minute set.

I love playing the old skool tunes when i get the chance. TTF, N Trance, QFX are all brilliant
