The marvellous splendour of Musical Bingo
I admit I was
somewhat sceptical when I was invited to Musical Bingo, mainly because it's
bingo if I'm honest. Oh! How sorry I am for ever doubting you Musical Bingo,
for you are a truly stupendous entity. How can anything involving Bingo lead to
so much mischief and debautury?! The concept is pretty obvious so I wont go
into detail, they play songs you cross them off your sheet. You also have to
race to the DJ booth to claim your line
or full house so there is more of a challenge than usual.
Believe me it can get quite heated, elbows
are involved and pride is at steak. My friend has twice now thrown her toys out
of the pram and given the death stare to the poor DJ who failed to check her
line first, essentially meaning she missed out on a prize. Poor little Crae
Crae.
But hold on, the fun endeth not there. Once your line has
been checked by one of the DJ's you forget all about remaining nonchalant and
composed and hurry excitedly to the stage whereby you are showered with
confetti (If only this happened every time I entered a room) as you choose to
keep your prize (think novelty lollies and shots) or gamble. You might get
gherkins, you might get champers (The gherkin was a booby prize btw, although
not to some-weirdos).
The compares are most entertaining, the tunes are banging
and there's always dancing on the table, a must for all my nights out. My experiences of Musical Bingo have thus far
involved lots of wine, shots, dancing, shouting, much over gesticulation,
glitter, non Scottish shortbread, glow sticks, bad chat up lines, meeting
amazing new people and almost not being able to make it into work the next day.
Perfect night then really. It really is the best organised fun Ive had all
year, hurry up 19th December. Plan your visit, you must.
