A report on the BBC website, highlights that one in three of us are hungover at our desk, and one in ten of us may be drunk at our desk.


look around you, look to your left at the person sitting there, and to your right to the person sitting there. They obviously aren't hungover or drunk so you may be able to conclude that they are the other two who didn't go out last night !! (or didn't drink when they were out)


Don't let them get away with looking so self assured and smug.. the one on your left should by now be a useful source for a large coffee and the one on the right should be a useful source for a nice greasy bacon and egg buttie..


:)-D

Ha ha - I saw that and sent it on to my colleagues, given my state last Friday. :)-D


To be fair though, if it's a school night I do try to keep it restrained. I tend not to be too bad hangover wise, but since turning 28 last month I have noticed things begin to take a turn for the worse.... :-(

Today's office piss-artists are nothing to what it was like back in the 70s when I first started working on the newspapers. By 11am most mornings there would be a bottle of Scotch on the desk and people would be banging on the door of the pub downstairs to be let in.

Actually, the bloke in the picture pouring himself a large Scotch is the dead spit of my company's soon to be retired Pensions Manager. In fact I'd swear it was him and so do all my colleagues.

I work in an office of 9... last night all went out (minus one) on a "bonding" sesson with our soon to be new catering team... out of the remaining 8, 7 have made it in to the office, 3 of those are fine and not suffering one bit (although one doesn't drink alcohol), 4 have mega hangovers, by calculations on time alcohol starts moving out of your system and units per hour and the number of units consumed we figure all but 2 must still be drunk... :)) :)-D

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
