I got an invite to a 'Eurovision party' from people at work about a month ago and have been sitting on the fence about going for a while. But now the pressure is mounting and i feel like im being forced into going, even tho ive made it perfectly clear that eurovision is shite. Ive said that i might be going to dot2dot but could probably make both. Now ive discovered that i would miss 2 of few bands that i def want to see (mae shi and ruby suns) which im pretty gutted about.
shall i sack off this bollocks party and dot2dot it? or shall i grin and bear it at this shite party and be more popular for it? Bearing in mind i havent bought a dot2dot ticket yet

friends.
Dot 2 Dot
Go to the gig
tell them 'I'm cool and like good music and I'm not going to miss it to watch the world's most awful music with you looooooosers!'. You know you want to.
GO
To dot-to-dot
Turn up p!ssed at chums' party post gig and (hopefully) post Eurovision.
They'll be too bevvied to notice and you'll have got to see your bands.
Win-win
would be perfect, only they'll be going to town afterwards
cos theyre the sort of people for whom 'party' means 'show up at 6, drink til 11 then go to some expensive cheese bar
Ricky Otto
Gigs -> work colleagues
if friends = people who have eurovision parties
then music.
i dont even like them, but i work with them
so if i didnt go id have to hear about it forever
and if you do go
it's gives them open ground to bully you into doing stuff you don't want to do in the future, you're going to forevermore be their bitch.
don't sway to the peer pressure!
a Eurovision Party?
A party where you watch Eurovision? Why is this even a question.
Go to the party
Get wankered, be "that guy", then bone some girl in the host's master bedroom and spaff on her face, making sure you get some on the duvet. Then shit in the living room.
Ahhh to be 18 again...
i like "that guy"
hes always the funniest at the party
Does this help?

I swear that nipple get higher up every time I look at that picture.
Thats just your eyebrows pulling your eyeballs up
I like how
her eyebrows mimic her arms.
unfortunately not
she looks more like a lump of plastic than any woman ive ever met
gig
they dont even sound like they are your friends you just work with them you will either have to listen to them talkin about how mental the eurovision party was all week at work anyway and have to put up with a shit time there.... or you can go to the gig and then hear about the shit party all week anyway....
no brainer much?
its causing me so much stress tho
i fucking hate the bastards for doing this.
I can completely understand your stress
Is it go to a party that you haven't committed to yet, and that will involve a lot of people, and that people *probably* couldn't care less whether you're there or not, or go to a gig?
It's a toughie all right.
"sorry to cancel but...
...my friends bought me tickets for a gig as a surprise and it would be rude to turn them down"
Done, with only one small white lie.
Work colleagues aren't friends
Say your going to the party then fuck them off and go to dot2dot.
ive dug my own grave
ive pretty much said im gonna go. but i do have an ace up my sleeve thats gonna get me out of it at the last minute. Ive said i have friends coming up for dot2dot and they havent been to notts before!!
so im gonna have to show them round to the different venues!!!! fucking genius!
fuck the work colleagues and...
fuck the eurovision!
You have a great excuse now go use it and enjoy the good music!
stay at home
and play with your lego instead
personally
I'd pretty much do anything to avoid hanging out with colleagues outside work hours
LEGO !!!
I KNOW!
what are we gonna talk about? contact lenses? no.
how much i dislike them? no
we can talk about lego
and it's role in the creation of today's metrosexual mutlicultural bilingual society
The One With The Shit Eurovision Party
worst. episode. ever.
do neither, stay in, have a wank
it's what i would do
wanking is fun
can i join you or will that just be weird ?
i go back2back with the builder round the corner every day
while ray takes photos
Who's Ray ?
either of these ?
