Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I'm sure I'm not the only one enjoying "Vegasgate" or "Misseddeparturegate" immensely. Any chance of setting up a live twitter feed if it's an easier way to keep us up-to-date with the latest developments? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the flight to Vegas leaves very soon so unless there's suitable WiFi on the plane I might have to wait until tomorrow before I hear from them again to get you all an update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon man. Use your initiative. Invite the poor lad out for a pint! I wonder if he could have made it to Heathrow by other means / I wonder if he even looked into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling him how to do stuff but this c**t decides he's going to do it his own way. When I tell him that he is eventually going to get caught out and lose his job, the god fearing maniac says "If this job is meant to be, it's meant to be". When I asked him if he was talking about fate he said "Yes". When I explained to him that not doing his job properly will be the reason he gets punted and that it would his own doing and f**k all to do with fate he said he doesn't really care about jobs. I'll give him two weeks. Newbie with attitude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I was just thinking that, if the flight to Vegas is only just leaving the now surely he could have got to Heathrow in 7/8 hours from Aberdeen? Might have been a bit pricey but better that than either getting your jotters or forever being known as the boy that made a c**t of going to Vegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance he was going to try and get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say you should suggest to someone in the party that they check the lad into the Vegas hotel and trash his hotel room, leaving his name and address lying around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Switch Reno with my old boss. He was going through a simultaneous messy divorce and a midlife crisis so he was a bit of a freak and it was a decent trip. I can't imagine going anywhere the current management though. Sinfully dull individuals who are only interested in sooking off the upper management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they have an old pub and football ground show in one of the hotels or casinos. But even if they did, I think I'd make my excuses rather than go with work colleagues. Gap in the Vegas market IMO. Throw in a bit of family "war memerobilia" (outfits, panzers etc) and you could be onto a winner in Trumps America. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 There are folk in my office who are amazed it isn't colder in the office in winter.There's a woman in my office who wears flip flops around the place in the summer(she changes into shoes when heading outdoors) and wears boots in the winter. I would point out that the office is the same temperature whether it's July or January but I won't because the noise the flip flops make drive me insane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it depends if it was booked as a single ticket. Turning up at the flybe ticket desk asking to get on a later flight and keeping the onward LAS flight valid would have probably yielded a no chance but if it was BA then it might have been doable.Guys a prize plum and no mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The lad has showed up for work today. His reason for not waking up on time? His phone crashed during the night, woke up at 7 and reset it, that's when he phoned the boss who was at Inverurie by this point with the rest of the guys. No word yet about what will happen to him. They're back in work tomorrow so will keep you all posted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye there's no doubt he was hungover. He now this second has claimed he had a panic attack so had to phone in sick and go home. It doesn't look good for him. It's a shame really as he's actually pretty sound. We get on well and have the same taste in music and, more importantly, Peep Show. I hope he doesn't get the bullet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
