Death

I was chatting with an acquaintance earlier today and whingeing (as I do) about how I don't know anyone in Melbourne and how my entire life is ruined for ever because I have to stop going out for a couple of nights in a row, and I wondered out loud whether there were any parties that would be fun to go to (he's someone who would know).

He was quite firm in his response. "Nobody will hold a party in January. Having one before February is social death".

So there!
