Neighbour's garden party

[BollocksToBrexit]

It's a major bank holiday where I live. Parties everywhere. My neighbour is preparing for one. BBQ is out, marquee is up, kids everywhere and the music is blaring.

I could live with all of that. They're nice neighbours and it's a one off party after all. But my god, the music. I think their playlist must be named Eurovision: The Ultimate Collection. I think they need an intervention.

AIBU if I stay at home for the raising of the Midsummer Pole and remove all their fuses while they're there? Or should I just endure 24 hours of Bucks Fizz?

YABVVVVVVVVU Eurovision music is the best

Hire an ABBA costume and get round there.....

I look like a member of Lordi on a good day.

May I suggest you stay in, position yourself strategically by the fence armed with a glass of prosecco or fifteen and sing along with the playlist.

It should clear the party sharpish.

Midsummer in Sweden by any chance? Yep that has to be cheesy! Join in

Oh I feel your pain. My polish neighbours are all out in the garden with their friends and a gazillion kids playing polish rave music since 8.15am :( and it's not even a holiday day here, it's just normal Friday to Sunday shit. My cozy phones are not even drowning it out.

I'm going to release DS(5) to 'water the garden'. Experience tells me that he'll take aim at anything that moves. [evil]

Yep, Swedish midsommar. They'll all be paralytic by teatime.

Game, set and match to the neighbours. DS has gone through a gap in the hedge and is currently bouncing on their trampoline with a load of other kids, equipped with a cornetto the neighbour gave him. If that weren't bad enough, he's still in his pjamas.

Go and join him? Not so sure about whether you should wear pjs though... 😃

I'm on my way, sounds like my perfect party.

Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley!!

Eurovision is where music goes to die. YANBU

It's actually worse than Eurovision. We're on the third rendition of this horror show:

Ha ha! That song is wonderfully shit. I wish I could go to this party....

There's only one way to go op, join in!

Go and stand in their back door way really dramatically. When you have everyone's attention, launching into with full replica costume and dance moves.

They'll love you forever

I'm pretty sure I've heard that on their playlist.

Could you not dress as a sort of Druid, go over and start making muttered "blessings" over the food and drink, preferably while wielding a huge knife, possibly adorned with authentic looking food colouring bloodstains........

You will have to endure it now your son has been over and taken advantage if a free Cornetto.
He's not very loyal

Kids always let you down.
Nothing else for it, neck a couple of shots and get involved

Never heard this song before. Love it!

Test to see if it's a wifi speaker and then override it with better music

That Cyprus dance is great for your pelvic muscles. Go on OP.

God love your son for being bought by a cornetto

Have you been invited?

Love the update! I'm afraid you have lost your son to the dark side.
