Thanks,tasangalalako ndi nyimbo za kumudzi. Any party in Chelmsford or Braintree?

I dont know about Braintree but for Chelmsford I think we dont have such kind of soft option within our social circle. Listen , in Chelmsford we don’t necessarily have to have a party of some sort to be social with others. Every time we are round each other we are partying and we don’t have to make it some special day by putting it in the yellow pages. Having a party in Chelmsford won’t really make any difference from what we do every time we are seating there kumayankhula Chichewa , kumamvera “Radio Yako “ and yak about abstract realities in this life especially things that we cant understand. In Chelmsford we do realise that lots of Malawians elsewhere shall only congregate around alcohol and things they like to do best behind closed curtains , but Malawians in this Essex city would rather congregate around a game or an event of some speciality. An event that neither calls for guests nor demands emcee. Would friends reject someone who refuses to drink but water with them? Or would they think that those who opt not to get drunk are pushing their own beliefs on those who are perhaps drinking if they don't drink? No, ayi kulibe peer pressure kuno..

Below are some of the definitions of party I found on the Web:

• an occasion on which people can assemble for social interaction and entertainment; "he planned a party to celebrate Bastille Day"
  
• a band of people associated temporarily in some activity; "they organized a party to search for food"; "the company of cooks walked into the kitchen"
  
• a group of people gathered together for pleasure; "she joined the party after dinner"
  
• have or participate in a party; "The students were partying all night before the exam" 
  
• A party is a social gathering intended primarily for celebration and recreation. While having some things in common with religious and seasonal festivals, the term "party" usually denotes a smaller gathering for a personal, rather than cultural, occasion even when the occasion is simply that of enjoyment.

From the above definitions, I dont see anywhere, they mentioned word alcohol. So, dont assume that eetche was asking for a beer party. Whatever you guys do in Chelmsford qualify to be called 'parties' (from the definitions above)

And what happens behind the curtains are not parties. Those are 'things happening behind curtains'. Theyre after-party activities. Theyre activities after any party, not only beer party. I know one married church party organiser, who has a son, who look like another married church party organiser. I concluded that the son is the product of after-church-party activities.

If you go to any beer party, youre assured to find non alcoholic drinks. Those are meant for pple who dont drink beer. Thats pure love. But if you go to church party, you will be called all sorts of satanic names for mention the word 'beer'. Thats pure hate.

These days, when you go to church, funeral etc all these fake pastors preach is about beer, as if thats the only 'key' to heaven.

Leave zidakwa alone. They dont bring peer pressure kwa aliyense.

Eeee!!!!!! ndachedwa, ndikadye uwiri. Ndikapeze makhwala atulo. See you all in hell.
