This should be a group award, with commendations for specialist threads.

Bletch is ineligible, for obvious reasons, but he could have a special award for dropping the most c-bombs on the site while drunk

OK - so the yearly leaderboard has reset itself with no fanfare etc

The Soviet is failing…We should storm and occupy the VIP Champagne Room

But it’s in Derby and they dont have a tower how will we go there?

Sh’up. It’s all still there. There will be fanfare. Just need to get back to Southampton first.

What a depressing way to start the year…just heard the “VIP Champagne Room” has been rebranded as “The Prosecco Lounge”

I have a bad feeling that the fixtures and fittings will appear on EBay very shortly. :lou_sad:

Imagine having to spend 8 hours each day in Stoke. Poor sod!

I’m sure it’s bad enough driving there knowing you have to spend 8 hours there, but it must be even worse driving home knowing you have to do it all over again tomorrow

I have to be careful what I say about Stoke… :zipper_mouth:

Why? Do we have stoke spies here?

I’m doing transfer deadline day for SSN at Stoke on weds :slight_frown: It the coldest place on earth, yes colder than Antartica. It has it’s own microclimate that renders the local population as angry and slightly resentful that they have to live in Stoke.

I saw my first dead person at the N Staffs hospital , when I was vaguely thinking about doing something medical after A levels back in the day when an “open day” actually meant something…

Luckily for everyone I didn’t go down that road…

So where’s my gong?

I think you just make up your own category this year…

Like “The person to load the most porn onto their laptop before going offshore”…or something like that

Ah yeah, soz.

I’ve been very business at work. The arduous nine hour days are a fevered, half remembered dream of fluffiness and wonderment.

Jeez @pap what comes first financially supporting a few offspring and Partner or 383 hopeless ner-do-wells who rely on you for affirmation and support in their piteous on-line existence?

OK - srs business it is then…as you were

What comes first is ticking some very important checkmarks on the CV, getting my work out of the door with a minimum of rework and being able to pick and choose from some nice 2019 work.

Loving all that. Hating the commute. Every time I close my eyes I see motorways and brakelights.
