It’s meant to be cloudy where I am, but also warm so that’s ok for me.
Oh, I drove four hours to north Wales to spend 45mins at a party. I only went out of obligation to the host but ended up cornered by three ( delightful ) 70 yr olds from a Welsh book club, then a couple who were enthusiastic owners of a narrow boat.It’s meant to be cloudy where I am, but also warm so that’s ok for me.
I know what you mean about going somewhere where you not know the hosts, even worse if you go to those places alone and aren’t of the nature where you’ll start openly chatting to randoms
You had all that interesting chat and only lasted 45 minutes, I’m shocked
if it’s for a party where you know the host will get totally drunk you can always say you were there, comment how wasted they were but know that you didn’t even need to leave your own house to go
It was quite a formal / informal party, but I wasn't sure what to expect. I think my common sense was blinded by friendship & obligation. I stayed in a Airb&b and made it back to the end of the film I'd been watchingYou had all that interesting chat and only lasted 45 minutes, I’m shocked
Was you expecting anything different from the party though? Or did you kinda assume it would go that way?
Ha ha, thankfully I prefer talking about the other so that helps me, I totally agree about the nodding bit (throwing in the occasional laugh and hoping it was at the right time), I’m very picky on what I drink and that makes it even worse, and yes, who the hell wants folk musicIt was quite a formal / informal party, but I wasn't sure what to expect.

Reasons to hate such parties
- the chatter approaches medically dangerous volume
- people only want to talk about themselves
- you stand like a nodding idiot not hearing half of what's being said anyway
- the wine is cheap and warm
- the line of sweat on someone's temple and the bloke with sweaty shoulders.... general sweatiness
- who booked a folk band ffs?
It’s Sunday, forget the coffee and just relax insteadMorning

Please explain this to the toddler in the house.It’s Sunday, forget the coffee and just relax instead
Maybe try putting their favourite film on, giving them some sweets and that’ll give you a few hours to rest
(as you can probably tell, I don’t have kids )
Enjoy it sounds like you earned itRight, that’s my token 10k done for the morning. Now to spoil it with a full English somewhere
My logic exactly
They get around, they're in Vagus now ain't they?Well, I'm still a fan of the Raiders, so yes.
On the off chance you weren’t fishing
it was coronation street and she died in 2015
My partner feels exactly the same as you. One reason she absolutely hates weddings! I know where you are both coming from, but I'm slightly more tolerant with a few beers in me.

I get nervous, I'm quiet and shy but start talking shit and getting people backs up. I want to be funny and over compensate. I hate those sort of parties too.It was quite a formal / informal party, but I wasn't sure what to expect. I think my common sense was blinded by friendship & obligation.
