WOW, that’s incredible!!
You should write a film script around that, you could have some bald macho actor type play your part.
I hear Gregg Wallace is available atm.

Well done on giving up the alcohol, so did you stop in January, or is it a recent thing?This year it’s the first year I have ever been invited to a works do where the bar is free all night.
It’s also the year I gave up drinking alcohol
Free food though too. I’ve not given that up yet.

Cheers.
It wasn’t really a big decision as such. I juts got bored of it and gave up around May time.
I’ve had a few beers on a holiday abroad since then and I’m sure I’ll have some beers here and there in the future but it doesn’t really feature in my life anymore.
Any follow up anecdotes. Yippee!
Well done still some feat, I have been trying to give up minced pies, but a neighbour came to our door last weekend offering us some freshly baked ones. They were still warm.
What can you say? Especially as I had a brew in the teapot going. I fear my waistline will take a bashing this Christmas.
I'm off for our DRY Christmas lunch soon.
I'm anticipating a very dull and awkward occasion - hopefully lessons will be learnt and the booze will be back on offer next year.

Since we have been entertaining clients, partners, and staff all for Christmas this last two-three weeks, my MD who I report to has turned into a massive Bell Cheese. Not sure what’s going on but he is bantering me at random times, then but when I banter him back either at that moment or out of the blue, he loses his shit, calls me out and says ‘we need to chat’ all in front of my team. Then makes comments then 2hrs later will wink at me and say ‘come on, its Christmas’ f***ing odd.

Main character syndrome maybe, doesn’t like you doing the jokes
Not when your waistline is hanging as low as mine. Everything gets a bashing!

Haha never saw it like that. I think he is just stiff and can’t have fun. He has admitted not being great with people before but then can be funny and easy other times. But not on either way.

Drinks at the office on a Friday night before Christmas, before going out to the pub. Offered to help make a huge bowl of salsa that 'someone' wanted and spent all afternoon peeling and chopping tomatoes.
Needless to say, no-one ate any of it, but someone did return to the office after the party and throw the entire bowl at the wall.
The early Monday morning cleaners resigned on the spot.

Back in the 'what Christmas party budget?' Nineties, in the course of the afternoon, we had starters in one restaurant, then moved on to another restaurant for our main course, then dessert in a third.
In retrospect, it was probably quite a good way for restaurants to fill the afternoon gap.

Okay, how about you respond Infront of everyone by saying 'if you belittle me again in front of everyone, I will put your lights out. Your call.'
Then you can chin him.
My experience was always the opposite. They were the stiff killjoys. Once they buggered off home early, the fun began.

You're reminiscing about those 90's parties again, aren't you
Until the early 2010’s
.I’ve loved this Xmas build up, taken on three different clients firms do’s. Great company, lovely food, no office politics, drinks flowing.
