MONKMAN Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 On the subject of work nights out, I've never been to an official work night out and I've no intention of ever doing so. One year, a dozen or so of us arranged our own Christmas night out in Glasgow and in typical Glasgow fashion we couldn't get in anywhere in the city centre after about midnight. So it was back to the hotel bar to drink over-priced French Martinis in to the early hours, couple of hours sleep and home on an early train. Was a decent enough day/night but wouldn't rush to do again. There's various golf trips, go-karting piss ups etc organised and heavily subsidised or paid for by work, but I spend enough time with these people that I've no intention of using my own free time to do so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am somewhat the same. As you know, this gang put on Aberdeen centric, pretentious w****r nights out where all the office bootlickers etc go and talk work. I would never and have never attended one. But almost every time off I go for pints with some boys from my work. Self organised with the ones I actually like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 When I worked in Inverness a load of people from the office all got together and went out on Christmas Eve. Weird behaviour. My work never really go out as we are based somewhere that requires everyone to commute by car. If people are away then we'll usually go out but sometimes I don't even bother with that. I am very boring though and don't really drink alcohol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I remember somebody suggested a paintball office outing. I grew out of playing Japs and Commandos when I was about ten so wouldn't have gone anyway but fortunately most of the others gave it the thumbs down too so it never happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky3 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I realised I was getting too old for works nights out when at the last one, a female colleague in her 20's stopped mid story to say she couldn't complete it, nodding at me, "it's like telling a dirty joke to your Da". I'll stay at home with the Horlicks from now on. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
