adios 717 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Wouldn't interpreters in the Hague, for example, have to translate on-the-fly with no rehearsal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5189 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That's my understanding of it. Look I don't know for sure though so I'm happy to concede the point, I was really only saying that the company has set a precedent and that it was stupid to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think the interpreters should sue for being forced to listen to Little Mix lyrics tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It would certainly make policy making more interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit at the end about avoiding laughing fits when things go wrong. That said, Radovan Karadžić wasn't delivering his words accompanied by a loud backing track and the sound of thousands of screaming girls. Well, not that kind of screaming anyway.

Rayvin 5189 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ok well that's the argument I would be using to avoid being sued then! "Signer didn't have time to memorise everything because we dragged our feet and had to be taken to court before we would agree to go ahead with it" doesn't sound great from a PR standpoint but it should cover them legally assuming they were told by the court that they had to do this. If they just changed their minds separate to the court ruling (or before one was issued), I don't think it will help much. It also doesn't get them out of having to do this for every concert they organise in future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's Little Mix tbf, a quick listen to the album in the car on the way over should be enough to tackle the complexities of the themes expounded on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4194 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Don’t think I’d spend the money on a live gig if I was deaf like, or the cinema if blind. Seems a canny waste of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the agencies hiring the women were being completely honest about what to expect, she might have a point. But they didn't. The hostesses were just advised that some of the men there might be annoying. In reality, some were getting their cocks out round the table and telling them to get their knickers off. Some of the women apparently knew what to expect and went back because they could make money. but it wasn't advertised as an escort gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5189 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) If they weren't hired basically as escorts, for that purpose, then it was absolutely harassment, is absolutely not their fault, and the hosts and businesspeople there should be ashamed of themselves.
