Works xmas thingy, what shall we do?

[William of Walworth]

Banned from going to the pub? CONTRARY TO HUMAN RIGHTS!!!

Did you resolve the issue, Stig?

Insistence on a decision by 5:50?

That was barbaric.

I suggest you LIE to the bosses, get your staff onto the plot, and just go to the pub (managers' choice ) anyway, where you can all collectively and creatively have fun devising tall tales and lively anecdotes for next time in at work, about how much you all 'enjoyed' the bowling alley/cinema/cabaret/theatre/museum/posh restaurant/rubbish restaurant ..... etc etc etc.

With sufficient beer, the potential lie-list will be ever expanding and indeed endless

 

[William of Walworth]

we're going to your old local and you'd be welcome, bring your funds along

I can't see Stig and the gang making it from NW10 to the place you almost certainly mean but .... it's a good suggestion ....

Anyway .... my present local do you mean?

I'll buy you a pint for the chance of 'bumping into' your lot by 'coincidence' Tanks ... PM me the date ...

I'm there more evenings than not for a while after 6:30 or 7, anyway

Nope. Going to have to decide tomorrow. No-one came up with anything that everyone else didn't immediately disagree with.

we're not banned from going to the pub, just from doing that exclusively. We have to do something else before we go to the pub. Hence my suggestion of the Indian Veg. Cheap, quick, and gets everyone fed.

I'm going to have to work on the pub. People want to do dancing and play pool and shit. A couple of us want to drink decent beer. This will be my main research tomorrow...

yes, your local - I keep forgetting to tell people about it, so at the moment there's only two of us down for the do, so I reckon we'd be able to buy you a pint

Paintballing?
Evening at Scotch Whisky Society for 'tasting'?
Meal and early evening trip on London Eye?
PRoD?
Roller Disco?

How about paying for a Xmas party? 66 quid a head would put you into the fairly decent party league. Depends on how many there are of you.

There is nothing apart from eating and drinking that people can agree as a group to do is there. So instead of the cheap option go for a bit more expensive and have the whole caboodle laid on for you. Nobody can consume 66 quids worth of booze each. Even at restaurant prices thats 5 bottle of wine each. Hurry up though, most are going to be booked up, but if your all flexible I reckon there are some that would do something for you. Fake casino with prizes is a good one that is fun perhaps with a few bottle of champers to start.

Comedy night with really nice food and lots of nice wine before hand perhaps.

The ideal situation is one where you don't have to move very far and there is food alcohol and entertainment without physical exertion.

Say you had a vote and you decided on paintballing. Then get loads of paintballing photos printed off the net or something (perhaps from the urban paintballing meet). Post those on your office intranet, include a photo of the team in the pub (with a caption like post-war drinkies). Management are easily fooled in these situations. Insist that the paintball company require cash money!

 

[Stig]

We have decided!

We're going on a boat on the Thames, which has food, bar and a disco thingy on it.

No-one managed to disagree with this. Everyone is happy.

One objection to the disco. One objection to the fact that the beer will be shit. Both of those come from me. We're doing it.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

[William of Walworth]

Sounds OK!

You'll not be short of other opps for decent beer** anyway ... and if you drink enough rubbish beer (it may be rubbish, but it'll be FREE!), the disco may just get to you

**Speaking of which, see you tomorrow
