Ever feel like you've missed out on a good party?
Cast your minds back to February 25th 2010. You may recall (you won't, that's why we've provided a working link) that the winner of our infrequent Press Release of the Week award were those fine folk from the Slovenia Tourist Board.
They were kindly inviting us to a "Slovenia...bet you'll love it" do which featured Slovenia boss Matjaz Kek and promised "a bit of fun", which prompted us to make an inappropriate insinuation about sex parties. Unsure as to whether there'd be any free booze and/or grub, we didn't end up going.

"Hi Guys
I have just been sent a link to your press invite of the week and seen it was the one we sent out. It is a shame you didn’t make the event as there was some great Slovenian wine and also the opportunity to meet the coach of the Slovenian football team!
Many thanks for the extra coverage – all brownie points to us!"
