- My wife doesn't think I'll run off with the singer, or vice versa
- I have a daughter at university almost exactly the same age so I am aware that there is a curious mixture of naivete and maturity at that age
- The thought that a 19 year-old woman would throw herself at a 48 year-old man, the same age as her dad, is laughable
- I think it highly unlikely that there will be any problem, but I do want to minimise risk of the likelihood of any misunderstanding, hence "opinions sought"
- I like the idea of a taxi fund from the gig money. However, I expect she's more at risk from a taxi driver than she is from me!
Anyway...this thread is just a request for your thoughts. I fully expect that I will be dropping her off or will work something out with the whole band at the next rehearsal.Of course, there are also 19 year olds who are worryingly naive about this sort of thing. If she's a student, it's quite possible that she's only recently moved to Manchester and might not have a good idea of exactly what she's committed to in terms of travel to gigs.
I guess I can understand Frau Vasselmeyer's concerns- there's nobody to confirm or deny anything she might accuse you of, and it potentially puts you in the unenviable position of "last one to see her alive" if something terrible were to happen, but I suspect both eventualities are highly unlikely.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Taxis wouldn't be that efficient in terms of cost either after midnight.
I'd just split her into my own travel costs if it was me.
If there was a massive concern otherwise then I'd get another singer with their own transport. She's an adult, not a kid.
I don't often store dash cam data but I sometimes do -- there can be all sorts of reasons why I might want to do that. But I use video to record the work I do with clients, as I was taught to do when I trained because I'm in a 1:1 situation and it's prudent. They obviously sign a consent form because that's necessary and I store the data safely as described. But I do that because I don't want to leave myself open to any situation that might cause me a problem.
Anyway, dash cams are great. What was the question?
Actually, that is a bloody good idea. I have some Amazon vouchers and stuff for Xmas that I have no idea what to spend on. Because some of our gigs are out of the city centre and there's virtually no police presence there, I do encounter drivers who are probably under the influence. I have been idly considering getting a dashcam because of that.
I'd be quite chuffed that people thought I'd have a chance with a 19 year old anyway and so would my partner LOL. Mind you I would have nothing to talk to her about that she'd be interested in
Also, with the cam I got one of these suction mount things cos I wasn't sure where to permanently mount the camera. But the suction mount is so good that I've not bothered with the permanent one. I just stick it on at the start of the journey and whip it off at the end. Takes less than 5 seconds.
That said, go for it, you're doing a good thing by offering her a lift back to her digs. Either that or the cab on account situation already mentioned could work.
Dunno what the fuss is about. Grown women can get home on their own. If she is good at it you'll find yourself waving goodbye outside her place in the middle of the night wondering how you got suckered again.
.....for research and fair balance...obvs
