So.. seeing that Gonzo is no longer with us, does that beer have Bubbles in it?
.. and I won't make no "Bedtime for Gonzo" jokes neither.. like.. after you've finished drinking for the night and all that..

What size glass is that?

Pint-ish?
Quote: Stylee TingTing @ December 9 2011, 12:44 AM GMTShame about the gay glass..
It came from the Philadelphia brewery my neighbor used to work for.
Your equipment looks interesting in the background. Is that your Games Room?
That's my formal dining room; it's only used as a beer dispensing room these days because I'm the only person living here. I have a game room upstairs that's unused as well but I have plans to turn it into a mini pub.
I'm off.
Night, night children, everywhere.
It's our work Christmas Party tonight (Friday) at this place: http://www.downhall.co.uk/
It's where Jade Goody got married.
The company are putting up staff and partners for the night and even my kids can come too - we're so lucky in that respect. A friend of mine told me tonight that he's being made redundant at Christmas. 
I have mixed feelings about the party because last time we went there it was under a dark cloud after some work problems leading to a spartan and miserable Christmas. There was also some awkwardness over a casino prize: https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/10783
The Jade thing gets me because the day she died was when my mum was taken ill (Mothers' Day) and few weeks later she died herself.
This time I'm happier despite officially been given notice to leave our rented property by end of February yesterday. It could still work out OK if we can buy it off them and with the market so slow we offer the prospect of no chain and no long search for a buyer.
The valuation they gave us was absurdly high - they'd never get it in a million years but it depends in how much of a rush they are to sell. Getting a mortgage could be a problem for us but there's some backs I could scratch which could prove fruitful with the deposit. We'll see...
Life eh? Don't ya just love it?

Looks like a nice place. This year my company is having the party at some sort of hipster bowling alley in California -- as a matter of fact I think it's taking place at this very moment. I'll actually be out there in two days but I'm glad I'll miss the party because they always send me $200 as a consolation prize.
DaButt your work pays you $200 not to go to the Christmas party.
Maybe there's a hint to be taken....
Tuumble hope you enjoy your party at that place, wondered if there is a scheme were you can buy a partial Equity in the property the rest in rent that can sometimes lower the cost of mortgages.
Merry Christmas! x

I received a personal e-mail from the lady who runs the HR department asking if I would be able to attend the party because she'd heard that I'd be in town. She was disappointed when I said I couldn't make it.
ah bless what a lovely company

It was until we were bought by a bunch of Swedes. 
Rob is trying to work out why he is going for a night out in Leicester tonight. It seems a long way to go for a few beers and a curry.

Those Darn Swedes.
Somepeople think of them as the 5th or 6th Axis power.
Stinkin' appeasers.
With their rectangular cars, stupid furniture names, hard core porn and open sandwiches.
How can you trust a people whose whole cuisine is based on boasting about their sandwich filling?
