the office party

so as many of you may know if you follow my tweets, last night was the works christmas party. normally this isn’t something that i’d blog about, might involve some cocktails, shots if things were getting really messy and maybe a few embarrassing moves on the dance floor. last night was special though, so i thought that i’d make an exception.

the night started by dropping @jamfactory back to his house to drop some stuff off. whilst i sat waiting with @mcquinny a car pulled up next to us and we paid no attention. however this swiftly changed when we noticed the car had turned on it’s blue lights… yes, yes, a police car! my crime – waiting in the car which was mounted on the curb of a road with double yellows and kinda overhanging the pedestrian crossing. i hadn’t really thought it through.

having pulled away rather swiftly (we went back for @jamfactory later, don’t worry!) we made our way to the rummer where normality resumed. having gathered myself, we made our way to dynasty for some of the best chinese food EVER. yes, this is not that interesting you’re probably thinking, but you had to be there to experience this conversation… (it’s silenced for a reason!)

i would love to see your captions for this video!

the real fun began when we started the karaoke. i’d planned my song of choice - kids by kylie and robbie, oh yeah, i’d given it some thought! all hopes were dashed when we walked into the bar to find that the mics were already taken by experts…

i kid you not, they were rapping to billy jean! followed by a big scary butch woman screaming “i can’t rap” to a linkin park song. intimidated by the obvious competition, i stood to dancing like my mum by the side… quickly approached by an old drunken man who put his hands on my waist. when asked to remove them by @efergan he did so and put them on my boobs instead. can’t blame the guy for trying.

a top top night!

    Mel – not sure if you’ve discovered this, but you can get rid of the crappy YouTube search bar if you want. Just add the cunningly undocumented “&showsearch=0″ option to your YouTube embed code.

    They sound like 2 beached whales ;)

  4. Mel says:

    Clint – glad you enjoyed!

    Paul – thanks, I must do that next time…

    Tom – you’re telling me… you really should have been there, my sides were hurting!
