Last year's company staff Christmas do was on a riverboat on the Thames. I don't think the powers-that-be will do that again.

Bet that was fun. :roll:

It's amazing how much drink you can fit onto a riverboat.

We editorial staff were very well behaved. It was the warehouse lads, honest. :lol:

The bosses are paying for everyone to go to Amsterdam on the 15th December, which is the Saturday that the Pogues play Manchester, which means that thankfully I can't go.

To be honest is it wise to watch your workmates make arseholes out of themselves? I think not. I heard the stories about last year when they paid for everyone to go to Barcelona and quite frankly some of them were embarrassing.

What is scary is the head of my department is going and I believe he acts like an idiot when he's pissed.

I've definitely opted for the better deal.

They mostly do

Editors, the most *snicker* sober, tea-totalling professionals in God's creation.

Absolutely, GA. You obviously know the trade so well. :wink:

10 years of experience and counting. Fortunately, I had a coworker who introduced me to Guinness, so my liver is in much better shape than my Budweiser-drinking coworkers. That shit'll kill ya.

A good move. Guinness doesn't count as alcohol. It's cake in liquid form.

NME series of photos. I'm sure I've seen worse.
But just give thanks that we love a band with such impeccable dress sense.

I'd like to offer you a long overdue congratulations on having moved on from Yeoman as well.

Congratulations to both Firehazard and Miss Walshy for achieving the elevated status of Mr. Chekov. I expect you both to adopt a silly Russian accent now. It's up to you whether you will favor saying things about how "In the Soviet Union the internet was first invented twenty years before Al Gore was born" or if, instead, you'll write long plays about war and famine.

Three cheers for Walshy And FireHazard, and to all those who sail in them.

Why thank you, DzM. As those who have spoken to me recently will bear witness, I am currently using a silly Russian accent in everyday speech. I was hoping to adopt it also for postings on Medusa, but I can't do it on the keyboard I currently use. I've been trying to trace Oirish's keyboard suppliers, to see if they do a "silly Russian" version. :wink:

Oh, and I did start work on writing the epic on war and famine, but it turned out to be mainly about rugby and music instead.

I'd read the epic when it's finished! And I can be your agent and take a cut of the fortune you will undoubtedly make. :lol:
