Well the new TUI rep here is more than useless …tonight we were at posh place neat BM towers ..(the two are not connected  ) ….

And as usual we ask ..when are the speeches ..? Before or after meal ..? ..

“There are NO speeches “ ..

Are you sure ..?

“ yes !” ..

We check with hotel manager ..his paperwork from rep says ..”No speeches “ ..

So near the end of meal ..the bride asks us and manager when can they do their speeches ..? ..


  ..

 


Kouklia...? 

Aphrodite hills …proper posh like …

Got a new Dj going to be working with us next year …he has been training with me a few times …

Told him what gear he really needs …( from 20 years experience ) …and offered our music catalog…..


Oh Noe’s …..   ….

He has taken advice from a photographer … ..( yeah ..I can’t understand the connection either ) ..

Bought some equipment more suited to small indoor venues and is going to use apple for his. Music …

Now using a Mac for DJing is fine in theory but in real life is a pain and more expensive ( no free downloads ) …plus when any bride sends you music you have to format it …

I give up …
