I was
thinking about this just a few days ago and I believe the language has evolved to the point where "Me and a friend" (rather than "My friend and I") is equally valid. I don't even bother to correct people anymore.
Oh, and people using "myself" really really really get on my tits. I actually had one idiot come up to me once and say (very confidently) that "my name is so and so" is bad grammar and that it should be "myself so and so". Twunt of the highest order...
