...for the past two nights!!!

Does anyone know what the hell they are playing at over the road from the Palm City with the all night concerts and fireworks? The concert on Friday night was so loud you could hear it for miles!

Even at 3am last night they were still finding new boxes of fireworks to let off...

...and then a 4am, the wailing starts as usual.

Any idea how long they will keep it up for (or how to get an invite :D ) - Cheers.

A wedding ? Usually 3 nights. Music & fireworks the norm.

Cheers mate, I guess it could be - but not starting till midnight? WTF is wrong with these people ??? :mad:

Midnight would be about right. There's nothing 'wrong', it's just their tradition. Much like ours is to go to a bar at Happy Hour, leave by 8PM and be snoring beery ZZZ by 11PM. :)

LOL it could get irritating at times, but this is their way of celebrating a wedding especially the shouting and screaming of the ladies. I remember being invited a week ago my wife told me all about how the woman celebrate, because they separate the men from the women on these occasions.

They set fireworks off until daft o'clock every other day in Dahra. In fact setting them off at 6pm in broad daylight is not uncommon either :dumbom:

From what Mrs Sand tells me, the women's wedding parties are a real eye-opener, with the size 16's trying to squeeze into size 10 clothes and still look half presentable... :lol:

Still, it's all achieved without 20 bottles of WKD, which is more than be said for the same in Liverpool ;)

Have you complained to Palm City's management? You, and any one affected should do so.

It sounds like it's a 'wedding hall' If that's the case then you should expect the same every weekend until the beginning of winter hibernation season which is soon.

Here is the Heinzs Wedding Entrance Dance to cheer you up.
