Laughing Gas
I was at my works official Christmas Party last night. I didn't want to go. I'm not good at these things. What I didn't realise till I got inside is that this is the high point in most peoples social calendar, and that a lot of effort had gone into each and every outfit. It was obvious that the women had been to the hairdressers to get strange things done to their hair, and spent a fortune on their dress. Unfortunately they all looked like shit.
The entertainment came in the form of "C.J. the D.J." and a cover band. I felt the need to make my own entertainment if I was going to last till 1am so I pulled the helium balloons off our table, pierced a hole in them, inhaled as much as I could and sang along to "daydream believer" . Then I had the whole table doing it, then we stole balloons from other tables. That continued for 3 or 4 numbers. It only has a comedy value of about 1 and a half numbers.
In true buffet style, the food looked nice but wasn't. I found myself breaking up bits of quiche and throwing them at people round the table and looking the other way. I was throwing bits of pakora, aiming for Kats cleavage when C.J. the D.J. announced that the buses were waiting outside to take us to town. The bus was full of arseholes singing hibees anthems. The bus driver was pretty unamused at this and kept pulling over until they shut up, only for them to start again singing "the driver of the bus is a jambo".
So a great time was had by all. Can hardly wait till the next one.

Ohh that sounds WONDERFUL!
Hmmmmm
thankfully our work night outs are largely based around tequila, and hence, end up being fairly hilariously riotous.. I think..
Yeah tequilla is good. It makes me dance. Which isn't so good for spectators. Unofficial work nights out are good. It just seems to be teh company ones that don't do it for me.
I'll see you on Monday Sarah. We need to talk.
Jim Needham
Yes Jim, we do.
nothing wrong with singing hibees anthems, at least we don't sing about killing catholics and blowing up brits, like those wonderful weegies.
I hate these fuckers who leave cutting comments but dont actually show themselves!
And such a sweeping statement too. The same as me saying all burgers are junkies.
I had no intention of upsetting hibs fans, or hearts fans. That shit means nowt to me. Nor do i tend to socialise with weegies who sing about killing people. Or burgers who are junkies.
