Monkeys Fist 41319 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Black-Eye Friday session, starts 11:30am in Haymarket... Made it through til 3:00am last year, but can't see that happening this year. Then again, plenty to celebrate this year so, hmm, who knows?

Guest alex Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I was out last Thursday for mine and the town was absolutely fucking dead. Even the restaurant was pretty quiet for a Thursday night, let alone one a couple of weeks before Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Greyhounds and a meal followed by a club. Decent craic, left before the shots/shorts. Our parent company had a formal sit down meal in a hotel that only finished(food service) around 23:00. None of our group went but everyone says it was a disaster.

Nyff 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Got a free three-course meal and a free bar in the Hospitality Suite of Ewood Park, Blackburn in January. Bit of a late Christmas party so that they can maximise earnings over Christmas I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Not having a Christmas party this year. Everyone's just doing things amongst their own teams, and thankfully we went out for a meal last month to welcome some new starters, so we're not bothering. Work nights out are shit, generally.

Meenzer 15115 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 They flew me out to Germany for our Christmas bash a couple of weeks back, which is nice. You can tell the downturn is biting though: two years ago we were in a "British colonial"-themed (?!) steakhouse in central Frankfurt. Last year we were in a traditional German restaurant in touristy Rüdesheim. This year? Wednesday night at the clubhouse restaurant of a rowing club in an industrial neighbourhood of the Main river. Pure class. Still, the boss was leching over all the girls and the muscled Russian boy intern, so he was happy for us to order bottle after bottle of wine and the occasional shot on his account. Went into the office the next day, sat around for an hour then decided to sack it off due to lack of brain capacity; ended up spending half an hour in a massage chair in a bland shopping centre in the middle of Offenbach.

catmag 336 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I say 'work' in the loosest sense of the word as I've not done a days paid work in 11 months, but my lot (classy as they are) are doing a pub crawl from Byker via Ouseburn and through town on Saturday for their Christmas festivities. I know we specialise in anaesthetic but that's going too far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Hog 488 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Ours was today. A lunch. On a Wednesday. Quite possibly the worst time of day, and infact the worst day of the week, to have any kind of festivities. Didn't bother going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gejon 2 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 ours is sunday night we're all going bowling Good point, I forgot I went on a team one. We went bowling (I am shit), but went for a meal first. Me and my mate arrived late, before we got there they told the staff it was my birthday and at the end of the meal they played the happy birthday song and I had to dance with a member of staff dressed in a dog costume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Our official work do was last Friday, I didn't go because it was at SJP, and other than tickets, Ashley's getting no money off me. From what everyone who went has said this week, it was shite and the food was poor. We have a 'lad's night' out as well, which is basically just the blokes, going for a drink down at the Ouseburn pubs straight from working and then moving into town. But no one's decided yet if we're doing that on Friday, or next wednesday. Edited December 16, 2009 by Tom_NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
