Using the word "myself"

When referring to oneself, is it correct to say something like, "Bob, Alice, and myself" were at the party? When would you use the word "myself" in a sentence?

Thanks,

nicols2000 When referring to oneself, is it correct to say something like, "Bob, Alice, and myself" were at the party? It's not very good English in my opinion -- though you do hear such uses, and with increasing frequency, or so it seems. You would not say "myself was at the party", so why would you say "Bob, Alice and myself were at the party"?
