Yes yes and yes! exactly the shiz im talking about , the biggest offender is "dj xxx always had a keen interest in music" BORE OFF!!!!!
I have used a few of these before ....... Insert Embarassed smiley
Another one people use. XYZ DJ's (LIVE) Meaning they have made there set before they left the house on Ableton and will just trigger play and stop using a controller.
More on the door - meaning please by a ticket because it looks like no ****er is gunna turn up.
Buckers - As with John D ( wont mention his full name although he desrves it) i remember your DSI wars with him, bloke is a grade A tosspot and i cant believe he used to do things at the Cross, seems to off ripped a few people off and spammed a few million in his time. Theres a few promoters though i can think of that are similar.

i would actually say that using the strategy of charging more on the door is a valid one from a promoters point of view. Encouraging the punters to buy tickets earlier (and obviously offering the cheaper tickets as an incentive) helps the promoter massively in terms of cash flow. Especially crucial to smaller nights.
from that blog another classic offender -
"A DJ bio isn't complete unless it includes the phrase “strength to strengthâ€
add "one to watch" and "causing a stir on the underground scene" , err no your not and why is this in the 3rd person when your writing it yourself? kn0bber

The one that pisses me off beyond all is when someone uses the word "luminaries" e.g. "has played with such house / techno luminaries as..."
This is also funny: How to be a ****ty plus-one

I was always a fan of these ones too:

where someone claims 'x' is playing but the reality it is someone connected to them and this begrudgingly explained in the small print.

On a Hidden (ex Chunnel club?) flyer, it stated the 'building' had gone through a multi-million pound refit, though on closer inspection it was due to the hug office refit that developers were doing to an adjoining (above iirc) office space 
I think I could be here all day. The crimes of a funky house past are catching up on me!

To be fair these sould hilarious - every online review describes him turning up, getting caned, trying his luck with the local ladyeez, while a mate mixes for him
ie they put out ONE remix that sold 177 units on traxsource

sometimes it all got a tad ridiculous...
ahhh the saga of the last nye at the cross , fond memories of the war zone esque queue to get in on nyd at 6am after being at Canvas. Somehow managed to get in but seemed it all kicked off bigstyle that morning. Weirdly it wasnt like it was stupidly packed inside tho

I almost wished I'd been there to see the monumental f-up, but it would ultimately the chap who did it still will have made a killing!

This is Blackpool afterall, when it first opened when i started going that had some great lineups on. Slowly gone downhill over the years and seem to have the same Djs playing the same time on a yearly cycle now.

Also along these lines I've seen my name mentioned on a few DJ bios as having played the same event as them. Not on the same night of course but they've played the same event...
