Clapping

[WorkingtonBlade]

I understand that in some of the fancier London theatres, the audience are being encouraged to click their fingers rather than clapping, so as not to disturb the performance. Perhaps we should introduce the same at the Lane?

Yeah, 26,000 hip, happening jazz cats scatting and bopping all over The Lane, bip-bap-boppetting our way to the promised land of the Premiership, daddy-o. Dig.

Clapping the attendance figure? Now that's cringeworthy.

If you do it, stop now.

I wonder what the exact attendance figure is that said appreciators of attendance consider the cut off for clapping or not. I don't know what it is so am unsure when to clap.

When we played Port Vale in 1999 I booed the attendance figure.

 

[Fanny magnet]

I like to clap people walking down the street
Really need to stop doing it while I'm driving though

I hope that taught it a lesson.

Second only to when a plane lands.

At least the guy in the cockpit can hear the appreciation. I’ve been to several cinemas where the the audience has clapped at the end of the film – none of the actors or production team were there to hear it, so I’m assuming people were just congratulating each other on sitting through a film.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

I don't think I have ever booed someone in seriousness, ever. It's childish and embarrassing for adults to do it. Stop it everyone.
Clapping? Yes, I do, but there are so many times when people start clapping when they shouldn't. People should remember that if they clap too much their hands will fall off.
And why do we do it? Obvious really, our closest ancestors are seals. Don't believe all this junk science shit about chimpanzees.

It's only like when like when people applaud at a beamback.

Only if I can scoobedy-doop-dewop-bop.
Off the beat, of course.

It didn't happen again

I find it odd when passengers clap when a plane makes an ordinary landing (usually with a lot of Americans on board). Could understand it if the pilot had just done something heroic but otherwise he's just doing his job.

 

[super_pig]

Seriously, think about it, what a weird concept clapping is.

What are we even doing? It's silly.

heh.. agree it's a weird concept i've often thought the same. just go along with it.. it's what humans do

 

[Blade-on-Tyne]

Even worse when it's a "minutes applause", one of the most hideous concepts ever adopted in football.

I think booing is even dafter. Imagine being a grown adult and making a "boooo" sound when you see something you don't like? Any intelligent person would feel like a right cunt.

The human species really is fucking stupid, and shows little sign of evolving.

Spontaneous clapping at a sporting event/concert/theatrical performance to show appreciation of particular skill is how it should be.
Obligatory clapping for a minute for whatever reason is phoney and appears insincere. A minute's silence is more dignified.

When it's bloody cold it warms you up.

Warms everyone around you when it’s cold and you’ve got a cup of Bovril.

Try it on a bus or in an Uber when you arrive at your destination, it's only fair.

Well things happened very soon after, so I would say yes.

It's a nice and easy way for people to show some appreciation to some other people who have done summat good . Guessing you have never been on the receiving end of any applause then or you'd not be asking the question.

Is it? Ohh. Yeah, that makes sense. I've just been doing it for years because everyone else was, you're the first person to ever actually explain to me the purpose of it. You're right, I've never received an applause.

You're either on an advanced level of irony, or you're a proper gibbard.

Hands down. Singing aggressively at other men singing aggressively.

Is fucking bizarre.

And we fucking love it.

 

[Rojoyblanco]

Love it. Maybe we should adopt that as a new song, although i’m not sure about being associated with
‘the clap song’!

 

[Rojoyblanco]

Or "shag your women"


I like clapping, if you don't fucking clap then you're an owl!

I would happily applaud an Uber driver who got me to my destination without needing to consult his satnav.

The minutes applause, created fror those who can't keep their fucking traps shut for a minute.

Wait until you fly Crab Airlines. Do you still have Action Desk at The Star?

They should be applauded for.......

Not having to eat shite and letting everyone hear about it.

Sitting the fuck still and not using the seat in front as a kicking post / foot rest.

Putting their fucking phone down for five minutes. Top tip, nobody on Facebook gives a fuck that you are at the Cinema.
