Music and volume control

[Errogie]

Just been to a birthday party in a pub where the hired entertainer screwed the volume control up way too high for guitar, mike and drum machine plus the background music when he wasn't live. Nothing wrong with the music or the musicianship but boy do I get fed up with shouted conversations, it is not a good way to socialise. Eventually escaped to the smokers compnay in the car park after trying to reason with the power junkie (the host was too occupied). I also suggested to him that his own auditory system may have already been impaired.

And while I'm on it my other pet hate is hired wedding photographers who take over the event. Whoever looks at the albums or DVD in a blue moon anyway apart from the one pic on the mantlepiece. How many photos do you need of a knife cutting a cake or a pageboy with a lucky horse shoe? I'm going to start drawing up arrangements for my own funeral but can't be certain someone won't hijack that event either!

I agree entirely, there should be a limit on decibels at indoor venues!

I plan to have "Highway to Hell" by Ac/DC played at extremely loud volume at my funeral.

You may not have to die to go to Hell.

A post-secession Scotland would be worse than Hell. The only good news is that the former would implode long before the real Hell.

Apart from a short spell in 1989 I haven't lived in Scotland since 1985.
If it's done through a legal referendum is it still called secession?

Of course it's still secession!

The hordes of SNP nasties that ran the party in 1989 are still there, but a lot of the nasty selfishness is hidden behind the gullibles, the economic illiterates and the fluffy airheads that form their public face. I wouldn't bank on retiring back here just yet....
