Second to last one I went on was in manc. 

Absolutely leathered I thought I'll save a few quid on an uber home to Horwich and get the train. 

Got woke up one stop from Blackpool North. No trains back. £75 taxi home... 

Last one I was on... Uber.... £50 no messing! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I’m usually call the cops I’m off me chops. So I avoid them like the plague. It’s never going to end well. Luckily mine are now in Milton Keynes so I have a very good excuse not to go 

 

plus no point pushing food round my plate waste of money and tired of making up reasons why I’m no hungry 😬

Nurses are some of the worst ones when it comes to the white stuff. Not me. I'm a big enough knobhead just on the ale.

Reebok Voice used to be the resident DJ for the moat house Christmas Do's. I've not been for a few years so not sure if he is still doing them

Isn't the first Blackpool North - Manchester Airport train about 5am?

Are there no benches on Blackpool North Station?

Or just go to a Casino and play red/black alternately on the electronic roulette nursing a beer or four.

£75.

Should've bailed it.

Last one I went on was when I was working in woundcare. It was also my leaving do. Woundcare reps are generally ex-nurses. Fucking nightmare. Suddenly find out that somebody else will pay for an all you can drink night out. Utter animals. Night at Albert’s Schloss. Thrown out. Back across the road to The Edwardian. One of them knocks a massive glass vase off the table in the foyer that explodes into a million pieces. You may have met her if you ever dealt with negative pressure woundcare. Bobby’s (M&S lunches) oppo in the same company. Put me off Xmas do’s for life

Last Christmas do I went on was rivington barn. One of the nurses is a big girl but fuck me you would think she's 6 stone wet through with how pissed she gets. End of the night full length on floor. 4 bouncers looking at her and each other and shrugging their shoulders. Not a clue what to do with her. Husband was outside in car went and got him and told him come and sort his fucking Mrs out. Never seen nowt like it. Was great fun sat in the back of her car whilst she was chucking up into a bin liner 🤢

Top bloke. Related to the Kamani’s. On a day out with him I’d offer to buy him lunch. Some reps would take the piss. His reply was always “let’s head to Manny Road and get some Carr’s pasties”

Believe it or not, we're having our Christmas Do this coming Friday 😁

The reasoning being that we've not all met up for 12-18 months, and we know we'll be in some form of lockdown come this Christmas, so we're having our Christmas & Summer do wrapped into one this week.

 

Free booze, free digs and all 40 of us staying in the same hotel - it'll be a bit messy. We'll all be getting our usual £500 Christmas Vouchers given out to us on the night as well, which is nice

Free booze, free digs & £500 voucher almost makes it worth having to spend the evening with 40 colleagues.

But not quite.

This year will be my last one for a while. I didn't go to my last few at my old place - it was one of those 1,800 people in a club in London - free booze and food and all that but very much for the younger guns.

This place is a bit more sedate, so probably just drinks at a bar somewhere. And then there will only be three of us, one in France, one in Oxford and my here so I doubt there will be much or a do. Maybe a meal out...

we used to do Rivi Barn 10 years ago when i was at the Town Hall, we dont have them at my new place.  We did The Moat House once, Reebok was DJing and had us all slapping spoons on the table, but what put me off was the Sergeant Major way they treated the waiting on staff, humiliating for them I'd say, acting the Gordon Ramsay.  I'm going on the RNLI one this year, they know how to push the boat out ;-)

To be fair, I don't mind most of my work colleagues. Obviously I'll steer clear of the footsoldiers and general riff-raff, as I don't want to catch anything

I detest them. False bonhomie and people you spend 40 hours a week hating who suddenly want to know what your plans are for Xmas dinner.

Fuck off. And don’t tell me your plans either because I don’t care and nor does anyone else.

Luckily I live 100 miles away so can easily excuse myself.
