Wheelchairs flying from one end of the auditorium to the other? Rollators kegging apart the cakes on the dessert table? Hip prostheses getting tangled in knots?

Knock and smash, shout and rant and death or the gladiolas are just some of the familiar duos that mosh through your head upon hearing so much noise.
