Munching and rustling during performances.

My gripe isn't food and drink it's people who talk through a performance or even worse think they can sing the song better than the performer

The IFFY mentality is widespread. I'm Fine Never mind about You.

Brian  really does  enjoy  a  good  bit  of  " Self  Censorship" 

{ even  if it  takes  him  three  goes  to  spell  it  ! }

It's to ease the boredom, if most entertainment is anything to go by. Couch comfort food.

Much like the trendies who can't walk 200yds without carrying a Costa coffee or a bottle of water. Cuh!

I can't honestly say it bothers me particularly. Food & drink has always been on sale at cinemas and theatres so you pretty much know what to expect. Like oneputt, loud talking does irritate me though.

But what I find completely incomprehensible - and this happened several times during the Deacon Blue gig I went to on Friday - is folk who find it necessary to stand up in the middle of a performance, leave the auditorium and pop to the bar for another round of drinks. Not only disrespectful to the artists performing but you end up missing 3 or 4 songs in the middle of a show you've paid a not inconsiderable sum of money to go and see. Anyone explain that? 

Deacon Blue would turn me to drink ,so can understand them going to the bar

Ha Ha! Very funny! 

It doesn't bother me either, take away coffee, popcorn and a good film, happiness. 

I think some of us have very short memories. As a youth I remember going to the flicks. Worse things would be going on in the auditorium than munching and guzzling but they too were also happening then though! For me it was the guffawing of some at the mildest comedy that irritated as I often missed the following dialogue as a result!
