London Christmas drinks

First topic message reminder :



As we approach the festive season, it's time to mark our calendars with the 4th 606v2 London drinks - Thursday 13th December at the Market Tavern in Shepherds' Market, a stone's throw from Green Park tube. As always, all will be welcome, the more, the merrier - there will be banter, lively discussion over the merits of pie, and the odd jape or three. Look forward to seeing the usual posters and hopefully meeting some new ones too

Would love to join you chaps and chapesses but unfortunately I have to do some work here in the frozen wastes of Glasgow.

Hey ASBO - I once bought a now ex-Mrs Schizoid designate a parrot for Christmas (a Norwegian Blue I think ). She was not impressed and the relationship faltered somewhat thereafter. Still at least it was imaginative and I gave the parrot away eventually.

Schiz - you really remind me of that Kevin Bridges line:

"Yes, Glaswegians are mental. But we're a Friendly Mental.

You'll get the sh!te kicked out of you. But you'll always get directions to the hospital."

C21st, ha, brilliant! Was it just 'resting'?!

Thankfully this clashes with our work Christmas party so I can get out of the blydi thing

Spending an evening watching people trying to grub their way up the ladder by
cosying up to the senior managers is not my thing.

Instead you get to watch me showing you how to completely plummet off any ladder?!?

I would normally agree with you, but in my current company there are only 8 of us so there isn't that far to climb by brown-nosing!

Sadly I'm going to have to pass this year

Thought I'd be able to get some time off after exam week last week but it's not going to be possible. Still doing admin and have a meeting with the Examination Board tomorrow so there's no way I can get there

Have a great evening all, and a couple of for me.

Or it makes it easier for you to go straight for the top rung? Unless you're at the top and slumming it?

Tonite's the night - looking forward to it

Hope it goes

Sorry can't make it, off to Palma Majorica tonight for a long weekend.... be thinking of you as I sip my sangria tonight

Have a great one!!!

So.. who's bringing the mistletoe and who will be autgraphing photcopies of their arse? Like any good office party extravagantly exagerated gossip mongering must be forthcoming in the morning.

you don't mean the ole photocopier evidence moments!!!

Bummer you can't make it, Oz, but we'll catch you next time - enjoy your sangria!

Yeah, sorry you can't make this one Oz.

I can't hang about too late as I've go lots on at work.

Have a great night boys and girls

C21st, we'll do our best, sir, and raise a glass in your honour

Sorry I couldn't make it guys, caught up with a meeting leading into some unfortunately necessary work. Hope it was fun

I feel strangely let down by the fact that you guys weren't heart broken due to the fact that I wasn't there.

It's your own fault for buying all that mis-spelled stuff

We were - drank ourselves into oblivion to get over it

Nice way to blame your hangover on me.

Sorry could not make it, although as feeling fine this morning, happy I did not make it :-)

Have was the 18 year old black bush?

And did you lift the lid on the pie?

Seems you all enjoyed yourselves. Hope the black bush went down well.

No sign of Pain?

Much consumed for me?!

So, is London still standing?
