Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Pretentious? any job descriptionMy job description is:
Airfield meteorological observer / support staff.
What does this mean?
It means I get paid to look out of the window to see if it's raining, play with balloons and do some colouring in.
Also a few years back my employers started an award scheme for "Innovative suggestions / implementations". This was one of the winners in 2003:
Purchase and Retrieval of second-hand Radars from Botswana and Ghana. Savings of £600,000+ have been made by recovering radars from Africa. This has saved time and effort in having to train up technical staff to support new radar technologies which has had an impact on response times for fixing operational faults, a primary target for service delivery to external customers that can effect bonus payments under the contract terms. This project was also significant for it’s cross-organisation team effort.
My take on this?:
We buy obsolete equipment from third world countries.
Apologies for length etc
