Things You Don’t Want to Hear at a Party #3415

So there I was, at this party. Feeling a bit out of place, not really connecting with the occasion at all, slowly realising that I was one of the oldest people there, and that the majority of the attendees were younger, prettier, and more drunk than I.

It’s times like that you’re probably more easily wounded than others, isn’t it? So maybe I was being over-sensitive, and shouldn’t really be so depressed about it now, but there we are, this is me after all.

In any case what I really didn’t need to hear at that moment was one bright young thing say to another “Oh come off it, I’m closer to thirty-one than you are – and that’s really old?”

Cue Rob sloping off dejectedly and wanting to die…

And now various people have posted pictures of the party.

God I’m looking fat in them.

You don’t look anything of the sort. And they’re going to look so old when they’re 30 mainly through worry at how old they’ll look when they’re 30.
