Wasnt working last night, so had a few beers on the couch with Pauline watching TV. We'd run out of drink so decided to head to our local pub for a couple more before it closed. Got there at 11.15pm.

As we arrived a group of girls were leaving, comments including 'this party is :Censored:' could be heard. The pub is split in half, with main bar area at the front, function room at the back. The doors seperating the two rooms were open.

Being nosey, i had a look into the function room. There were just 3 woman in the room, the birthday girl (21), a freind and ,i assume, her mum. Two young DJ's were behind what was a decent setup, 4 scanners, 2 lazers, peavey sound system with 2 bass bins.

The pub crowd (all 15 of us) were invited into the function room, and a few started dancing. In the 40ish minutes we were in there, the music stopped 3 times for no aparent reason and requests were being ignored. At one point, the birthday girl was talking to the DJ when another person made a request, she snapped ':Censored:off, its my party, i'll decide the music, im the one paying'

During the last 10 minutes, the DJ's were switching off and removing one light at a time, during the last song, they unplugged one side of speakers. Its as if they couldnt wait to leave.

The only time i heard a DJ speak on the mic, was at the end of the last song (david guetta's titanium), he said 'thats the last song, goodnight'

Not a good night, glad it wasnt my party.

Well with a attitude like that is it any wonder none of her friends went to her party?

Is there not two sides to every story......

First question I would be asking, is what made her snap?

Leave the music selection to the Dj, but always encourage requests from the guests.

Assume it's because her 'friends' had all left early. As I didn't arrive till after 11pm, I've no idea how many guests were there before that.

When the guests are non paying pub regulars ushered in on a 21st birthday as all the "guests" have gone home?

In that case its still at 21st birthday IMO and stairway to heaven or sultans of swing is not on the agenda even if its just the birthday girl and a few friends left! if they do not like the music then off back to the other half of the bar then they should go or chip in for the DJ and then they get a right to choose (some of) the music :)

when I used to do 18ths and 21st's they would say that 100 people are coming. I lost count of the amount of times 20 people turned up.
The more well to do parties and kids discos always had good attendance.

Yep, I've had the same regarding the numbers quoted to turn up versus the amount that ACTUALLY turn up.

Also, with 21st and 18th's I find that a lot leave early to go 'clubbing' as some clubs won't let people in after a certain time or girls get in cheap before a certain time (well, round here anyway).
