Jill 0 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 It's all change for Christmas this year as my firm got taken over by a Scottish company. We had a meal at Barluga last Friday (average) with colleagues from the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices. Then on 16 December we have the pleasure of getting on a 7.30am train to Aberdeen (4 hours) wearing our party clothes, meal/speeches/drinks in a 5* hotel then the train back at about 6.30pm. They've booked us onto the quiet coach on the way back FFS. Honestly can't really be bothered anymore but it's free and a Friday off work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6585 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I would genuinely rather have the money (per head) than have an Xmas party. It would make everyone happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42449 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Going to Aberdeen for a Xmas party and not even staying overnight? This is honestly the best outcome where Aberdeen is concerned. Grim doesn't even begin to cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Going to Aberdeen for a Xmas party and not even staying overnight? We would've had to pay for that bit and payday is the following Monday so I declared myself OUT. alreetlike jill! where have you been hiding? As if I hadn't been on here for like 4 months man. My loafing standards are slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 God, I'm rough today. Going on to a late bar after the Christmas party always seems like a good idea at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6585 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Don't go then Its pressure though. You get frowned upon when the company puts on an occasion and you make your excuses. I like the bosses and most of the staff here. They just can't handle their ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7029 Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Had a cracking night last night. Some absolute states out like, police and ambulances all over the shop. At one point a paralytic bloke feel over and nearly brained himself 6feet In front of 3 city wardens. They all just stood leaning against the wall with their arms folded leaving a couple of lasses I was with to get him up and check he was ok. The council might as well save its money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
