Finished work for Xmas!

There is no better feeling than knowing you don't have to go back into work for 2 weeks, apart from seeing all the hallions tomorrow for afternoon drinks at our Xmas party in Belfast, they're normally fairly uneventful with me drinking far too many Guinness and then autopiloting home but man we've had some doozeys back in the day with people riding, fighting and waking up in strange places, seems to be a lot more civilised these days especially considering everything can be captured in 4k and whatsapped to everyone!

Anyone got any good Xmas party tales?

Our company Christmas party has a 4 hour open bar with beer, wine and decent liquor. The company allows you to bring a +1. This year someone brought her boyfriend who got hammered in the first 45 minutes. Then the woman's baby daddy showed up as the +1 of someone else on her team. Drunk boyfriend attacked baby daddy, the the women got in a fight. Ended up with all 4 being trespassed from the Westin and both women getting fired. It was a pretty fun night.

Then the next week I flew to Detroit and had dinner with my team up there. There weren't any fights but I had a couple of excellent Moscow mules and a fantastic dry aged ribeye at Fleming's steakhouse.

I stupidly picked up some over time, just to get more stuff done at the start of next week but then I'm free. Nothing happened at my Christmas party this year. No fights, romances or injuries, even the usual drunks were only slightly drunk.

I was done last week. And dont go back for 2 weeks!

No crazy Xmas party stories from work or home.

But all I know is for Xmas, my bro and sis and law are hosting the main dinner. I thought it was immediate fam which is about 15 people. Nope. It's now one of those 50 people bashes across extended family, including a million kids running around.

My bro hates it. But sis in law loves giant parties. Shes also the one who goes around taking a million pics all night. And oddly, she never even shares the pics with anyone. Even when you ask if you can forward me a couple good fam shots, she some reason doesnt. If youre lucky, she'll send you 1 Xmas pic every 3 years.

The pisser is that when she sets up these big bashes she asks everyone to bring something, so youre kind of forced to bring food. And you dont even know what to bring because nobody knows what everyone else is bringing too so you always get weird overlaps. So you just roll the dice and hope what you bring isnt a duplicate. lol

As a fellow person from our tiny place of “Culture” I present you a meme that maybe only certain fine wine connoisseurs will understand.

I was in Dublin for the Christmas of 99, went with all my cousins, they're all female. We was meeting my other female cousin out there who was seeing an Irish bloke, I was a bit dubious being a young English naive twat. We landed, went out and got pissed, ended up in a bar that had three floors, live music on the ground, a cinema on the second and nightclub on the 3rd. I was rat arsed, met some blinding Irish lads and lasses, the lads were on pills, went outside for a smoke and almost had a fight with an old Irish bloke as I said the smoking ban would never come to England..

Went back to my cousins boyfriend's, and broke his chair as I was sloshed, he was right fucked off.

Woke up next day, they all decided on an open top tour bus, I had a thin jumper on. Almost froze to death, we drank more and more, it was. Fooking awful..

Got an early flight the next morning, was hanging out my arse, baby behind me cried all the way home through the worst turbulence.

Got home, dad took the piss out of me as I looked like death

Good Times.

Happy Christmas all!

Hell yeah brother.

I always take extra time off during the holidays, it’s such a magical time. Being with family, playing videogames, day drinking.

Especially the week between Christmas and new years is out of bounds, like you’re at an airport. Normal rules don’t apply. You just walk around in payamas all day and start drinking at like 2 pm.

Got one more day to go and then I’m off for two weeks. I’ve pretty much got fuck all to do tomorrow as well so I’ll probably just watch some films while checking my emails every now and then.

Not working at the moment need to find a job. Last Xmas party I went to my old boss got shit faced and was really cool to chat with. Most recent I was unable to fully attend but they put on an xmas dinner in the canteen for free so that was nice.

Bailed on the young'uns and got the train home, sitting here with dog on my lap drinking a beer and relaxing, nothing to report unfortunately, all civilized, no one goes mad anymore:-(
You said it yourself. 4K phones everywhere and your a Da now by the sounds of things? We have to be responsible now, you did the right thing. Have a wee beer and play some games and watch some YouTube knowing you are safe home.

Translink are robbing bastards 😂

Merry Christmas

Christmas is that magical time where you can be on the pop before lunchtime and nobody bats an eyelid because its Christmas.

Amen to slouching around all day and not getting properly dressed.
