Do what your name suggests. They might just surprise you: They always say it's the quiet ones you have to watch!!

WeWhizzzYouAMerryXmas · 20/12/2007 17:09

so far we have only 13 coming to ours...I am in a flap

WanderingHolly · 20/12/2007 17:10

Get very drunk.

Before they arrive.

Magrat · 20/12/2007 17:15

you know 10 boring people?

the most boring people I know, who I've been avoiding for a couple of years, caught me off guard and invited us to theirs and I said oh that'll be lovely (wasn't thinking) .. and then they said 'oh we're not sure many people can make it it might just be you'

BIG GULP

Be really outrageous yourself - get pissed, shag in a cupboard loudly

and then put a bowl out for the car keys in the middle of the coffee table

Job done by early evening - you'll be watching 'To the Manor Born' before you know it

only the 10 boring people are coming ?
You KNOW 10 boring people ?
How many other people did you invite ?
Did the others say no, because they know what your other 'boring' friends are like ?
Why did you actually invite 10 boring people anyway ?

Oblomov · 20/12/2007 17:24

Do shots of vodka, play spin the bottle and let the party take on a tide of its own !!!!

pinetreedog · 20/12/2007 17:25

you wag

I bet you're not even having a Christmas party

spiketheirdrinks · 20/12/2007 18:29

We invited about 25...those who aren't coming are just slackers - haven't organised babysitters and other lame excuses.

Why did we invite them? Well, we like them, they are nice, but they are just not exciting. The problem is, we live in Derbyshire

So, pissed before they come, then get even more pissed during the event, shagging in corners (anyone in particular?), keys on the table...I will definantly need to spike their drinks to get this lot to go along!

YuleLoveHekateAtSolstice · 20/12/2007 21:01

ey-up y'bugger. No Derbyshire knocking. I live in Derbyshire.

QuintessentialShadowOfSnowball · 20/12/2007 21:02

Or you could try make a move on one of the female guests and slide your hand down inside her bra. That happened to me at a not so boring Christmas party a few weekends ago. A sure hit.

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 20/12/2007 21:07

This is my point about life. Why socialise with people unless you really think they are fantastic? I have tiny gatherings of people I adore. I have been invited to many things by people who I know but who I know don't really like love me, I know they just want numbers at the party. Why bother?

Best one smoked salmon sandwich than 10 spam my gran always says.

dullguest · 20/12/2007 21:11

Hold on a minute.

I live in Derbyshire, and know an mnetter and have been invited to their party. I know that several others can't make it. I know i'm not the life and soul of every occasion, but if you get to know me you might find I have some interesting hobbies that would make YOU look like the boring one.

And actually, I'm not sure I can get a babysitter.

Is spike pouring over her guest list trying to work out who it is?

MariNativityPlay · 20/12/2007 23:06

Empty out that pot pourri and get everyone to put their car keys in the bowl...

madamez · 20/12/2007 23:06

Make a chocolate cake with Ex Lax icing, then lock the loo. It might get messy but it won't be boring.
