could i be the love child of Elton John and David Furnish
It’s one of those tricky social situations,is it not? How to react when the cause is great but the event disappointing?
What to do?
I had several options: confront the offending party organizer, ask them to kick me out, cross me out of her address book forever or worse me doing the same to them thus consigning them to the social wasteland occupied by people who are not regularly invited to my parties (I say with a snigger and tongue firmly in cheek) .
I don’t want to say how I reacted at the time but subsequently I chose a fourth option, to moan in this blog at you and do nothing but smile all night and schmooze politely to all those that were there just to help a great cause.
Last night I was of course at this year’s biggest Christmas Party, the Launch of Rio Ferdinand’s Foundation, Live the Dream.
The evening was held at Old Billingsgate and included a Champagne reception, that ran out in 25 minutes in and a sumptuous three course meal .
The highlight was the brilliantly funny MC Comedian James Corden and a final performance by JLS . The low was the lack of an opening by the Prime minister and a private performance by Robbie Williams.
To end let us not concentrate on the lows but the highs, a great group of people raising money for a excellent charity, meeting the Prince of Brunei, having a small chat with the exceptional pugilist David Haye (watch this space for an event together in 2010) and a lovely laugh with David Furnish about how I could be he’s and Elton’s’ illegitimate love child made this night still a success and lets not forget over £250,000 raised for this brilliant charity.
Merry Christmas to readers of this column, including literate monkeys and gerbils everywhere.
