Rugeley Villa Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) we have to organise our own works do and at the minute there is a bit of a stand off between us workers because some want to go and live it up in stafford on student night and some others including me are just happy to go and slum it in rugeley in what i call proper pubs. ive got no interest these days in fancy bars and being in night clubs at 2 in the morning full of youngsters. im quite happy down town listening to music i like,playing pool,darts and having a good old piss up and stumbling home at half 12 when the pubs kick you out(as its only midweek). if i was single maybe id want to do stafford and maybe if i didnt have kids i would not mind getting in at 4 in the morning but i just cant hack that anymore.

Stay out of Casa and Couture and get to the market vaults. i used to love stafford but as ive got a bit older id rather not bother. casa and couture is where we would all end up because there is quite a few young uns who are in their late teens early twenties who work down our place. i could just leave them it and come to yours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 11, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 11, 2015 Just had our works do. 9 hours in the pub. I'm absolutely shattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Working all over Christmas, just have the usual days off. Will spend the day with my folks and that's about it. Living on my own and having a small family, Christmas is fairly simple. No arguments, no in-laws, etc, just the 3 of us. Will be a bit bittersweet for my Dad as this is the first Christmas without his parents so we'll try and cheer him up the best we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Works do last night, fairly tame for me, cider all night so bloated before drunk. 12 and I was in bed, most people were hitting the wine and I just couldnt catch them up. OK night but on the whole the thing I hate about works do's, everyone talks about work. Still early start as I stayed close to work and that will mean an early dart this afternoon.

choffer Posted December 18, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2015 It's true, you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Some of the girls in my office have clearly gone to a lot of trouble to make themselves look good for our Christmas party this year. I think I'm going to enjoy getting slowly drunk in the corner while I do my best impression of a dirty old man, leering at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
