chrisp65 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 There is some sort of betting syndicate thing in the office, I think its based on the national lottery - but isn't the lottery. Anyway, I declined to join. It's gambling and I'm from solid methodist stock. So far the winners have been: May: cocked up in some way, all money rolled over in to June draw. June: The boss's missus July: The boss August: The boss's daughter, whilst temping for 1 month in the office before going off to NZ September results could see insurrection and regime change... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of years back, went to the work Christmas party. It was a combined thing with office and factory staff. All of the management were sat on 1 table. Someone went round selling raffle tickets, seems like nobody apart from them on that table had bought any. It was hilarious and awkward. After about 5 prizes it was like "no its ok, pick another ticket"... "its you again"... FFS... Edited September 11, 2019 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to go away for a couple of days... was going to Kent for a week (some good ideas from @KentVillan) but that will probably be in November/December now when I have 2 weeks off. Will go somewhere local and relax for a bit. Perhaps Peak District or Staffs Moorlands. Ended up in the Wye Valley, not far from Ross-on-Wye. Hotel was by Goodrich Castle. Lovely part of the UK. Fantastic scenery... plenty of hills and walks so @mjmooney would approve! Went into Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. Lunch in Symonds Yat one day, which had spectacular views. Back to reality now!

Popular Post mjmooney Posted September 12, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2019 I know that all those "first day at school" photos posted by proud mums on Facebook can be pretty tiresome, but this one of my grandaughter and her best friend heading off for the first time this morning made me smile. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Had a superb chicken kiev for lunch at The Oakley Arms in Brewood, Staffordshire. Now there is a sentence I never thought I would use! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there is a sentence I never thought I would use! Nice place, Brewood. My mate and his soon to be wife are moving there in the next month or so. I hear it’s a bit cliquey, it definitely takes itself rather seriously for things like the prestigious “best kept village” award. Haven’t been to the Oakley but have heard decent things. Brunning & Price are a pretty solid pub chain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its not really a chain because every pub sets its own menu. We have one by us, its the only local place I go out to eat at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Lea went to my school (several decades before me). Never seen him out and about. Dave Hill on the other hand...there was a point in my life that whenever I saw someone wearing a fedora or some such hat, I could bank on it being Dave Hill wearing it.
