You will identify with this then Steve:- "I have nothing against football... just seems very wasteful losing two hours of my life to watch 22 millionaires on TV chasing a bag full of wind in their underwear" Guy Martin..

I know exactly what you mean about the parties Steve BUT, i like to go along 1) The food is always good and plenty of it 2) I try striking up a conversation with strangers and you can normally find at least one person that has something interesting to say or you might have something in common with.

If you stay at home you may never know and i am sure your wife will want to show you off to her friends as as she is probably very proud of you. It's got to be better than staying at home alone!
