Wow June, you really made a night of it! And to think we were on the dance floor together! I was the one with the other two girls dancing in a group, and taking photos all night long! Reuben Richards & Soul Train were really good!

You didn't take advantage of the champagne! :blink: What a shame you had to drive home.... Hope your +1 drank lots to make up for it!

I also cannot believe that there is a bigger party animal than prettyxcool!

I managed two sips of champ and a cocktail before reverting back to the fruit juice but don't worry my O/H did his best to drink for the both of us 8O

I did think that you may be a FMUKer but didn't want to ask in case you were not.
I guess you know who I am now as there were not too many of us dancing and I was right next to you for most of the night ;)

Oh yes, the food was absolutely gorgeous! And so much of it! I didn't even have my usual hunger pangs this morning. OH thought it was a great idea to have food after a screening but I told him not to get too used to after-parties, LOL. But we are going to another corporate do or two again tonight (skipping the Jameson event), as I think he's developed a taste for the high life!

We really couldn't stay around for the dessert ones though, it was late as it was, but they sound lovely too. Trust PXC to take pics of the food!

Urgh, stop being like prettyxcool and rubbing it in. Image

Anyway, I'm glad I wasn't there as I'm trying to watch what I eat, that certainly would not have happened if I was there yesterday and saw brownies, meringues etc! I didn't even have the free drink they gave at the 3M premiere yesterday! Plus I was in the company of funthing29 and soonforgotten so that made it just right!

Glad your movie was far more shit than ours though. :twisted:

Who says that? I didn't think it was bad, I gave it a 7/10. How much did you give the Musketeers?

Btw, I watch what I eat too. I watch it very closely coming near me on a tray, then I eat it. :giggle:
