    Haha, I’d not be arsed but she’d be raging. Obviously she’d then have to go to the shops.

    Got our traditional Lane Christmas dinner tonight. A very twee event when all of the residents of the lane we live on go out for a meal and a few beers. They’ve been doing it for decades apparently and anyone new gets roped in. We’ve managed to swerve the last couple due to it clashing with work dos, but we feel obliged this year. The average age is about 70, if they start talking about Brexit I’m ****ed.

    The shop came to £200!

    And I didn’t really purchase any booze. No beer in the house!

    It is. None of the old gibbers drink normally, but the blokes are allowed off the leash for the annual dinner. So I’ll be surrounded by lashed up gammon by about 9. The last one we attended was in a curry house (it was organised by the only other younger couple on the lane and I think they were taking the piss) my abiding memory was seeing old Stan (no relation) pass out at the table and his grid landing in his korma.

    I’m sure you’ll be reminded if this happened, there’ll likely be evidence.

    I’m hoping not. Everyone was utterly destroyed.

    Just went to my local Sainsburys and it is like a raid has happened. **** all there, it is a Sainsburys local as well so didn't think it would really matter when I went as I thought most people will go to the bigger ones.

    Managed to get some rice and broccoli, will go back tomorrow and hope it is better, blatantly won't be

    Sitting on the shore of Lake Kivu, getting pished watching loads of very beautiful black chicks swimming in the lake. Christmas has come a few days early.

    When I started in the City, Friday was the more traditional ‘let’s have a piss-up night’. Later that got changed to Thursday. Reason: why have a hangover in your own time when you can have one on the bank’s time?

    We do ours on the Thursday but then we don't actually do any work in the Friday, we just close the door and **** off home.

    I'd imagine a day as a hungover estate agent is not a pleasant thing!

    I’ve had man flu for the last week with sinus pain headache.. procured some codeine phosphate tablets last night which have sorted me out. Plus a gallon of tea.

    The office is dead, just got a 700k instruction too. Lady came in to sign.. she said were you out last night.. assume I must still stink of booze. I walked to work too.
