Still working on the Proust, if you can believe that.

I'm up. Just the right level of drunkenness. Xoc gone to bed but I don't have anything on tomorrow, work-wise, other than an 'office party' in the early evening - which I'm actually looking forward to.

I am perhaps the ideal Barbe-poster. At this time.

I've just opened a bottle of red. (tested the homemade chianti earlier this evening...needs a few more weeks)

Now Im going to hunt ebay to get an idea for xmas gifts. Its amazing how much more jewely is selling for in the stores compared to ebay.

Home-made Chianti? Mmmm...

Evening, Ganesh. Is this an "office party" at which drinking will be frowned on (I may be misremembering an anecdote from the "Drinking at Work" thread, so please forgive me) or a more laid-back affair?

I missed our office party last week... apparently our new MD did the whole "is everybody having a good time? I can't hear you" kind of thing, which I am utterly overjoyed I wasn't there for.

Disgrace.

HA! That was in response to this :

Fuckers! I've been in the office for two hours, and they've just told me NOW that the guy I'm supposed to be training (the new guy in my team who started yesterday) phoned in sick. Would have been nice if they'd told me when I got here, so I didn't spend time sorting out which jobs to give him. Fuckers.

I've been refreshing the page for ages whilst reading something else on the net, and with that being the last post on that page, it stayed at the bottom of that one.

Wow that had me laughing, sorry for the confusion.

WOW!

I just realized that it the disgrace post actually fits onto the previous post aswell, as if I'd not even done anything wrong. Talk about slim chances. This is turning out quite a funny and wierd lateshift already.

Nah, it's a people-from-the-office-going-to-a-pub sort of affair after 5pm, which is considered perfectly fine - and even encouraged (team bonding). The NHS is funny that way.

I'm looking forward to it, as, despite having recently left that placement, I still know many of the people quite well - and enjoy being drunk in their company.

Sounds good! I'm trying to cram lots of sleep in over the next few days so I can try to be awake for this Barbe-drink at the weekend... not sure if I'll manage it at this rate, but it'd be nice to see everyone before Chrissy.

Evening Ganesh. That sounds cool, instead of stood around in an office or something.

I'm drinking San Miguel at the moment, I love the stuff.
 
 
Ganesh
00:17 / 15.12.04
I'm drinking some slightly foul white wine from a box in our 'fridge, mixed with other stuff.

And yeah, I'm hoping to manage this Sunday's Barbe-meet despite a whole lo-o-oad of stuff on the Saturday. We'll be done up in full Highland gear for the evening...

Look who's back!

That is..........I don't know.

Yes, I'm refraining from the urge to mention S***e, as that would be a bit mean.

Iron Ladies??? Sounds like a porno.

OK, Sally, you got me. What's Iron Ladies?

Is it about our scary British not-missed-at-all prime minister of some hideous years back, or is it about female robots? Cos female robots'd be cool.

Ici! It's about a team competing in the Thai national volleyball championships composed almost entirely of drag queens. Pretty damn cute flick, and based on a true story.

I thought it'd be about:

That sounds cool. It'd be better if they were rbot drag queens, though.

No, Thatcher is very very not included. And fuck her.

Oooh! We bought the DVD in Thailand, having read up about (and watched a fabulous stage show featuring) the kathoey - put crudely, the Thai ladyboys - but have somehow never had the time to sit down and watch it. You've inspired me to make time this weekend...

I'm wondering if we've been a factor in him writing stuff like that! I'm starting to think that he could be a joke suit now aswell.

Despondent. All of you are drinking, while I am still at work, and, between posts, working. Unfair. Me against the world.

What should I have for dinner. Risotto?
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:34 / 15.12.04
No. No I wont. She's all yours. Our only lady PM lasted less than 1/2 a year. We're fine, thanks.

I'm also working... sucks, doesn't it?

Yes it does.

Not that I am, at the moment, but working sucks.

00:42 / 15.12.04
I too am working...and drinking. My boss suggested I bring some wine... I love Canada.
 
 
Ganesh
00:43 / 15.12.04
Working sucks, yes, but I'm not working for the next two days - which rocks. Yay me!
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:43 / 15.12.04
Yay Ganesh!

Anyone else need some yaying???

Sally and Ganesh, this film about a well-known Thai kickboxer may be of interest to you:
