Oh no you sound like you're talking from personal experience!
Oh Binky :(
How did the hen do go?

it was alright, on account of how the p.e. teacher gaggle hardly spoke to me, despite them being the only people i knew properly apart from the hen,
BUT the lovely illustrator lady who i've met twice before had a lovely chat, very friendly, and i'm going to her degree show tonight now,
and the old housemate-of-hen knew noone at all and was absolutely smashing.
and obviously the hen herself is ace at mingling and that. And got all her dares done - collecting men's phone numbers and clothing and being bought drinks by strangers etc.
