Ah, the popularity of The Xym.
You know when you creates one of them there Facebook Events?
And how, when Xym accepts, everyone else suddenly has Business Elsewhere?
Or if The Xym leaves it, and everyone starts accepting?
Well, I would recommend you not invite The Xym no more!
For the attendence at the soirée this eve somewhat embarassingly consisted of The Xym (prompt & early by 15 mins) and the hosts.
With telephonic communications of diverse excuse, such as one's partner having the sniffles and therefore having to stay home to make his tea at 9:30pm!
Not to mention the revelation that, despite allegedly being invited, I ended up Shit Creek without an Abbey! For the promised details never came through, and I was left out yet again!
And don't even get me started on Weddings. Oh, you're going. And you're going. And you too? Ah, my invite must be lost in The Farcebook. Oh no - wait a minute... ah! It's coz The Xym is both an unpopular git and a deterrent!
Still, at least 2 others turned up.
For an hour.
When the 'party' was nearly over.
Rockin' till 2:30am (with an extension to 2:36 to cater for party-poopers)?
No, it's "Sod Off Xym!" by 11:15 or so!
Oh well, at least I had a good time...
...even if I did outstay my welcome by 4hrs 15mins...
