A lot of people still think that. MTS. When I was on Prozac so many people (including dh ) referred to them as "happy pills." Yeah, right.

I'm still trying to find a dealer who can sell me handbag sized bottles of Entonox.

I'm the one hiding in the corner so that no-one notices her, actually.

But that's in RL

There is such a gap in the market there, WK.

I'm the one coming back to the buffet for the twentieth time.

best works party conversation I ever had was with another earnest solicitor type talking about sex offenders in prison. I think that says a lot about my natural partygoing nature...

LOL mts!!! I'm the one nursing a drink interrogating a friend about someone who looks gorgeous. Or if its near the end of the night, I'm the one sitting in a pool of sticky stuff talking to a twatty bloke.

Sometimes I'm the one that gets as far as the door then chickens out and goes back home again.

mummytosteven · 09/03/2005 22:15

I once got stuck at a party chatting to the dhs of two of my friends. One dh worked for the Inland Revenue and spent the whole time talking about self-assessment. The other dh worked for Railtrack (as was) and decided to wow us with his encyclopaedic knowledge of alternate rail routes between randomly chosen destinations. Neither was interested in what the other had to say so the conversation went something like..

Dh1 "Of course the new IR534Xi self-assessment forms are available online now. It's made a world of difference"

Dh2 "Really? Well, I know you wouldn't think it but it's actually cheaper to get from Salisbury to Edinburgh via Penzance on an AwayDay Rover Cheap Return with a Pensioners Railcard. Quite astonishing"

I could really have done with your handbag sized Entonox that night, WK.

That is not how laydees behave, Ms Knicks.

mummytosteven · 09/03/2005 22:23

They collapse into puddles of champagne or vintage wine at Oxbridge or forces balls

You need to ask me how you should behave?

Really ...

wobblyknicks · 09/03/2005 22:25

Well I think I should be asking someone!!

Not sure I'm the best person to ask though ... how's MTS' halo these days?

wobblyknicks · 09/03/2005 22:27

her halo's round her ankles, she admitted to having sex and is passive agressive, not a good example at all

WigWamBam · 09/03/2005 22:28

Tsk, tsk, tsk. What is this place coming to? Fallen women all over the shop.

marthamoo · 09/03/2005 22:29

WK, best way to get to Oxbridge is via Basingstoke and Chapel-en-le-Frith, on a Cheap Day Return.

Ask the Guard before you get on the train.

Ah ok. Will the porter take my luggage too? If I ask nicely can I have two linen napkins instead of just one?

Oh you wanna go First Class? That's a different kettle of fish altogether.

Why am I re-living the Party From Hell?
