"Everybody I know is at the prom"

I feel a bit of a knob for not going but still glad I didn't.

And richer too

As a normal common rule round these here parts, you can bet everyone you talk to tommorow about it will say how brilliant it was.

Usually its no such thing.

Nah, I'm still doing exams (i.e. reading trashy Sci-fi novels, playing Zelda: LttP and Golden Sun and sleeping) and looking for something where I won't have to directly deal with the public and thus will avoid all the arrests for physical assault.

You got another job yet? I want to ring you and ask for random things.

Get me drunk enough, suggest it, and I'll be away.

If you like dancing to slow music and pop ...
plus you don't really get drunk

Yes BEARDS, you may come.

Only if you get on stage and dance and sing like a crazy man though.

i promise to turn up looking malnourished, in a moth eaten trench-coat, with special brew in two of the pockets, and a half eaten ham sandwich in another. My party piece is singing 'old gray mare she ain't what she used to be'

Can I come? I promise to get drunk and talk to people until they run away in fear.

Proms? What is this craziness? Are we in a repeat of Saved By The Bell?

Anyway - I never went to get togethers involving my school. Day we got our A level results, everybody went in then went to the pub. I came in by myself after everybody else, picked up my results and went home. I didn't play well with the other children there... I went out that night with some of my mates, met loads of people from 6th form. Talked to ONE of them. Out of about 50.

I went to my Year 13 prom about 3 weeks ago and it was crap. The tickets were £23 each for which you got in to the 'Cave Castle Hotel' and got a 3 course meal! Unfortunately, it didn't live up to (the rather limited) expectations and the hotel 'suite' we were in turned out to be a fairly small room with a few tables and crap looking balloons everywhere. The 3 course meal was about the best bit although the fanned melon starter was shambolic. The beef and yorkshire puds were ok though and the strawberry cheesecake was fantastic.

Thankfully there was alcohol available but it was poorly priced and seemed watered down. The music was appalling as you'd expect and I was surprised to see that it was the same DJ from the Year 11 prom who was booed at back then.

The very best bit though was when we got out and went round to one of my mate's houses. He was a bit drunk so we thought we'd take advantage by booking 26 (yes, 26) taxis for everybody at the prom to go back to his house for an unplanned party. The resulting chaos was a legendary event although disappointingly only 15 taxis actually turned up. At one point there were 50 people in his 2 bedroom terraced house and we were waiting for the police to arrive any minute (though surprisingly this never happened). Inevitably, damage was done including a broken window (hilariously by the owner of the house), Coco Pops and a cat basket in the fish pond, 5 bottles of lemonade all over the conservatory floor and plans were alledgedly made to microwave the cat.

So, if you're looking for a good party, get your mate drunk at the prom and then unofficially invite everyone there back to his house!
