Meenzer 15466 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Ours was canny, far too much food mind. It was a hot buffet and they brought out beef stifado, rice, seabass, chicken wings, nachos, pigs in blankets, potato salad, few other things then a while later loads of turkey, carrots, broccoli and sprouts which barely got touched and loads of it got canned. Was alreet though, and was away by half 7 without calling anyone a dickhead. CT wants to know what's for main course. I like my colleagues, Renton! Though only having to see them once or twice a year may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Does everyone on here have a pathological hatred of their work colleagues or something? I don't mind mine at all. Still go out with some of my previous work mates 5 years after leaving as well, entirely voluntarily. I like the vast majority of my colleagues and get along well with them, have also made some great friends through work, but on the whole we tend to have different opinions on what constitutes a good night out so I don't do a great deal of work-based socialising.

Aye thats it for me too. I dont want to go to Walkabout and drink 3 for 2 bottles of VB, but if I was to suggest somewhere that a drink cost more than £3 I would get laughed out the room. So fuck them and their lack of taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5189 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Had mine last night - I don't really like them but as I'm responsible for everyone's 'fun' I pretty much have to go. The company pays for it which isn't too bad - went to an Italian place that I frequent regularly (and have a loyalty card with). A loyalty card which benefited from a £700 spend last night Went to karaoke afterwards as someone thought that would be a good idea. In truth it was kind of fun, everyone belting out really shit songs and so on - am now quite hungover though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17151 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 30 sparks and pipe fitters off to one of those all you can eat places on Friday night, next door to a wetherspoons for before and after. We asked Strawb but the snobby fucker said he'd rather spunk 400 quid on a bottle of Cristal before dining at the new Gordon Ramsay place in town......

Howmanheyman 32887 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 They might have big vet bills? They might need a new fence after reversing their car into it? Maybe have a Eurovision shindig to pay for? A holiday needing paying? Young Johnny might have school trip needs paying? They might be saving for kids christmas prezzies? They might even think some bars are just a bit average and are not worth having the piss taken out of them for expensive Italian draught lager when surrounded by wankers? Truth is more varied and complex than heresay sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still go out with some of my previous work mates 5 years after leaving as well, entirely voluntarily. Nah, most of mine are dead canny. The management make all new employees go through a group interview day as well as a maths and English test to weed out all the knackers. It puts a lot of people off from even applying!
