Engagement Party
17 Answers
I went to a family engagement party last night. My niece has finally accepted her long-term boyfriends entreaties and said yes ! We are all very pleased, as we think the world of him. All well and good.
The Party was held in a local rugby club and was quite low key I suppose, in that everybody bought food and it was all fairly informal. But it was spoilt in exactly the same way that every other party of a similar type always is....the flipping Disco was too loud.
This was the first time that the two families have got together in the same room and it lovely to get to know his lot, and also to meet some of my own family what I don't see too often. There was lots of children there and also lots of quite old relatives....uncles, aunties, and grandparents. But instead of being able to chat, we all resorted to shouting at each other, because the music was too loud. Nobody was dancing and the music was that awful bass thumpy-thumpy stuff, which you could hear in the car park. I just can't understand why the music has to be so loud at events like this, and nobody was dancing !
I am 61 now and I have been to no end of these parties and its always the same. If it was up to me I would have taken a fire axe to his power cable !

Tilly...I have done on previous occasions but its the equivalent of farting in Chapel. " Oh, but the music has to be loud Uncle Mike ! " is what I get. I can't have been the only one there that was struggling to hear and be heard.
Asking for the music to be turned down is a bit like this clip from the Royale Family :::::

Daffy...it has nothing to do with the type of music played. There were people of all ages there but the music was just the same...that thumpety thumpety type, with the bass turned up. I think it is called Drum and Bass. The problem wasn't our age, which I consider to be tad of the insulting side....it because it was too loud. What is the point in having the music so loud that people were gathering in the entrance to the Club, just so that they could talk ?
I would have preferred Mozart but when music is too loud, it is never, ever Mozart ! But even it was Mozart, it would still have been too loud. That is the problem with pop music...its the lowest common denominator at all events and its always too loud.
