Party assessment

Busy weekend, particularly for someone gradually succumbing to sickness (I spent the day with wet feet, and came down with a cold a few days later. My grandmother was right all along! Must find that scarf...) Despite this, I managed to attend three parties in as many nights (though I didn't actually manage to do anything else). Enhancing all three were the universally improving ingredients jinty and tortipede, and, of course, the lovely tinyjo.

For simplicity's sake, and to facilitate data analysis to ensure that I'm meeting my Mandatory Fun Performance Targets, I will present the results in tabular form:

	Friday	Saturday	Sunday
Host	bluedevi	Julian	cleanskies
Type	Pub meet	Cocktail party	Summer barbecue
Occasion	Birthday	Just that kind of guy	Birthday
Drinks drunk	4	4	4
- Of which fruity	4	2	0
- Of which beer	4	0	4
Service	Cheerful but overworked bar staff	Cheerful but incompetent cocktail mixer/architect	Cheerfully pragmatic self-service (though pre-mixed Pimms was provided)
Cats	None	Lily, extremely affectionate party-crasher	'Keith Chegwin', skulking by the shed.
My dress	Tight black fake-snake-skin trousers, tight t-shirt with pixelated dinosaur.	Black velvet pin-stripe suit, lavender shirt with open collar	Slightly sparkly blue boot-cut jeans, custom Daily Dinosaur Comics t-shirt
- Accused of looking like	A cyberpunk	Beck	Tom Cruise
Divisive discussion topic	Religion	Religion	Feminism
- My response to said discussion	Fled	Participated, though unsure to what extent my drunken ramblings about Discordianism actually helped	Sat quietly, coughing
Amount of voice left by the end	80%	60%	<30%

If anyone fancies performing some initial number crunching or peer-review on the above raw data, feel free.
