well I have learned to control the irrational emotion of being upset
at a party when certain people don't turn up.
It is natural that things never go quite according to plan, and to
expect or get upset if less than 75% of people make a function, free
drinks or not, is only an exercise is self frustration.
What is equally upsetting is turning up to a party and trying to chat
to the host who seems only concerned about who isnt there and pays no
attention to those that did make the effort.
Thus it was that I was very happy with the turn out on Friday and
tried to make conversation with all of my guests, and neither
mentioned or tried to make last second contacts with anyone who were
no shows / late come-ers.
Match Bar was a good venue for our humble number and the area we were
given was right near the DJ, and with waitress service to our seats
made it even more special. The prices are a fraction higher than
average and the selection of beers and ciders a bit low, but then what
it loses in respect of normal drinks it more than makes up for in
specialist cocktails.
After a few hours in the Match Bar we then skipped around the corner
to the Old Explorer, where we carried on drinking til nearly the last
train home and I am happy to say that I managed to outlast all other
current SMPA staff in the place, with only my close friends who live
in central London able to outlast me.
Happy days.
