Even worse that they're spending so much money on it as you say. That's really poor, especially if it prices folk out. The logistics of getting there and back must be a nightmare as well. All in all it sound absolutely w**k. Bet they'll just talk about work as well Most of the cost has been covered by the company tbf but we could have used the money for so many different and better things. 5 hours ago, Sergeant Wilson said: ^^^Fanny fear.

I admit the Glamping idea would probably turn into a murder mystery, but you're going to have to review that upper age limit eventually. Do it now, you'll get used to it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Heating's not working in here today, engineers are working on it, probably just an air lock, but you'd think we'd asked people to work in siberia wearing a mankini the way some folk are going on about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Office social club night out tonight. Various teams having their own night's out this Saturday and next.Not for me. If I can get through the next 9 shifts until I stop for my holidays without killing somebody then I'll have done well.Otherwise grown up people are excited by the prospect of Christmas Jumper Fridays from now until Xmas. Folk who didn't own one have gone put and bought one just to join in.If you're a child then a Christmas jumper is acceptable. If you're in your 40s or 50s? Just naw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Think you're about to be visited by three ghosts. Ya miserable hoor. I'll happily sing along to every song in Muppets Christmas Carol. When I'm watching it at Christmas. I like Christmas. Not in my office when we're already up to our necks in utter shite and there's more pouring in. We're here to work.Tacky Christmas jumpers? It's a bullshit Americanism we've adopted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreElgin Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 We have our Christmas party tonight. Thankfully there's no glamping or personalised headbands - just a 3 course meal and a piss up. We used to have a band playing but obviously our social committee had their budget cut so it'll be a shite DJ. And it's in fucking Nairn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Had my Christmas night out last night, went to Grill On The Corner un Glasgow, had calamari to start, then a steak and finally apple crumble. Excellent and the boss paid for it, although we didn’t find this out until the end, precluding everyone ordering lobsters, two steaks each and magnums of champagne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8MileBU Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Had our works Christmas night out last night at the Apex Hotel in The Grassmarket.
