I went to a party last night

Funny, when someone says they have been invited to dinner somewhere I instantly think delicious food, good company, and I turn green because I wasn't invited.

And when people say they have a party to go to I think fun, laughter, music, everyone having a ball. I try to remember why I stopped going to parties.

So, I went to a party last night. Writers, film directors, photographers, that's why I went. About 30 people there, no-one seemed to know anyone else. It was COLD, clustered round terrace heaters, making conversation. Where are you FROM, what do you DO, oh my that's interesting. (Not so much). Have a slice of this pizza, it's good. Have you tried a falafel? Let me top up your wine. No music, just chattering teeth and the hostess chasing pale blue people out the apartment when they tried to get in out the cold.

What is your idea of a GOOD party?

One with a hat in the middle of the room, and the guys throwing in their keys all look do-able.
Sorry find most parties boring.
Men separate from the woman most of the time.
I would like to see conversation with men and women but that never happens only in very small groups. wave wave wave
Gave two parties myself with people from my work.
They were very succesfull. Played two games but this can only be if some women wear a skirt.
I was often asked when I was giving another party.
Plenty of food and no one became drunk
wave wave wave
we have street parties here in turkey with people dancing especially as the men dance first then the women try to better them,,very relaxed indeed oh forgot to say that these are known as weddings and anyone can attend well it very much seems that way
I love street parties unless they are in my street and go on until 3 in the morning!
well you would not want these in your street as here they last for two days but the good thing is they do not feel the need to have alcohol either,which is why they are so good
BC, for years I had supper parties on Friday nights - huge tray of lasagne, bring your own wine, breadsticks and salad provided. They were great, usually a dozen people and very relaxed, I'm not a good hostess so people had to sort themselves out and as often as not bring me food and drink. rolling on the floor laughing That's probably the only thing I miss about being married, that sort of pitch-up no-pressure doesn't really work when you're single. Well, I didn't think it would. Never tried it!

Time for you to have another party, I think. danceline
yes viv it is great to peeps enjoying them selves with out the need for alcohol i now live in a place where even kids get a kick out playing in puddles ha ha the simple life is so refreshing for a change
When I invited people the first thing I heard was; But you are single!
My girlfriend won't come. Oh boy!
Are you sure you want to marry this girl? If she thinks there is something going on between us, she has a chance to meet me!
Another lady told me that when her husband told her that the party was given by a single woman, she did not want to come.
She said but I am so glad that I did come. People!!!
Later at work I was asked when I would give another party.
Sorry people you had your chance..............wave wave wave
BC, that's exactly why I didn't even try it - good for you for going ahead, laugh I didn't want any misunderstandings, including anyone offering to stay over to keep me company help
MotherG, I am nearly as shocked as you wanted me to be wink

Used to be a great ad of women chucking in their keys and all the guys jostling to get the (Audi?) I forget which car ... but that was all they wanted to try driving ...
Any kind of party is a good party to me. Whenever you have the chance to meet new people it's always invigorating to me. However, I was in Scotland last December and I would not want to be on any ones terrace trying to have a good time. Beautiful country, but when its rainy cold and windy it's time to find the log fire and a taste of a warming liquor. Having a party where no one knows each other can be challenging, it's better if there are a couple of 'people people' that can loosen up the crowd.....never give up the invitation as "you never know" what you could have been missing.....ps:networking is the way of the world...
wave Heyyyy! VivianLee.

roll eyes Well! I don't know. I've never been to a party.
Parties are great but depends on who you are with and who else is there
wave No music?, I would be out of there soon, the last thing I
want to hear is how someone earns a paycheck, because at these
parties that is how one will be judged. imo. Have not been to
one in years, it seems I am not missing much. Dancing to good
music is where it's at.dancing
Main ingredients for me for a good party are the people - I like spending time with my friends, good food, good conversation, good fun. wine
Sands, at least it wasn't raining. Crisp and dry and very cold! When are you coming to Scotland again?
Angel, I don't belieeeeeeve you! Unless of course you charge such a fortune for going to a party that no-one can afford you rolling on the floor laughing
Sola, that's a cop out comment if ever I heard one. Any party is okay if the right people are there and the best set up in the world goes horribly wrong if the people are wrong laugh
Pedal, you DANCE? You are one of the few men in the world who like to DANCE? Man I hope that is on your profile. Going to check now. Because that's huge.
dancing

I have tonight been at a wedding reception. (Yes, I am having a very sociable weekend) There was music. It was LOUD. All the girls dance together because very few Scottish men will dance.

Having said that, there was some 50s music. And watching a Scot twist in a kilt is not a sight you would forget in a hurry. Poetry in motion.
heart beating heart beating
KN, yes, I agree. People you know a little about who turn out to be more interesting than you had ever guessed, that's the best party of all. wine
wave Since 77 baby(disco)laugh
I must say Scotland was great...bar the weather in Glasgow was horrid, spent Christmas there and New Years in Edinburgh and a couple of weeks in Banff.......enjoyed the last two the most.....Not sure when I revisit, but I have say the Scottish people were beyond the level of greatness. This one women helped me out so much on Christmas Eve, I will never forget her or her daughter....good memories
