ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 We've been out. Place we went to sacked the manager a couple of weeks back and it appears he's done a number on them before he went. They brought out 5 goats cheese starters, not a single one of us ordered one, and had 6 of us down for turkey - 2 of our party (great aunt and unc) are veggies (the false type that still eat fish). When we corrected them, they told us there was none of the sea bass that they ordered left and they ended up with what looked like some sort of mushroom risotto. They ate it and didn't complain like but didn't look happy. Mine was canny, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Happy Boxing Day, everyone. I'm over the moon that the dinner I put together was well received and had a lovely family day. My presents are all decent too, happy days. Edited December 26, 2014 by Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6434 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Trains home SNAFU. Supposed to be going home tomorrow but advised to not travel until Monday! Merry fucking Christmas indeed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Trains are pathetic in this country when it comes to snow. As far as possible I avoid travelling over Christmas at all; too often it's ended in tears/delays/replacement bus services/standing in cold stations for two hours.

Meenzer 14053 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Similarly, there's every chance we'll be stuck in Lincolnshire for at least another night. Oh well. Time for another round of turkey sandwiches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14053 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Yeah, decent number of trains are going to Finsbury Park instead though, makes no odds to me as there's a tube journey awaiting me either way. Brilliant time of year for their engineering work to have overrun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3978 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Since I've worked in the city I've always been in two minds as to whether its worth working over Xmas/NY - if there are no problems it's nice and quiet and almost civilised commuting but if the inevitible engineering works run on its a disaster. 7 or 8 years ago they closed Liverpool St for the entire period for a complete refit so I took the whole lot off only for the works to overrun which meant a week of absolute chaos with everybody back.

trophyshy 6434 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) After several hours monitoring twitter I've sacked it off today, forced into another night of drinking fatha's beer. They better get their shit in order overnight or I'll set Gemmill onto them. Edited December 27, 2014 by trophyshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34450 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I'd pick the rails up and spam them down, causing a ripple effect the full length of the country. Then I'd hire a car and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 6434 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I looked into that. Was going to be £170 plus the ballache. I'm gambling this hangover will be worth less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trophyshy 6434 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I arranged drinks for tomorrow afternoon. They'll undoubtedly collapse without my oversight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14053 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 We got lucky with connections and made it back, if anything, a bit more quickly than when there isn't disruption. Didn't have to sit in the vestibule or anything. I wouldn't want to have been travelling from any further afield than Lincs though, there were a lot of folks at Peterborough who'd been turfed off trains from Scotland/Newcastle and made to wait for over an hour for an actual train to London to show up. Probably wise to wait overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30404 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I thought it was awesome how they told people they could get trains from Finsbury Park and then closed the station there because it got too busy. #planning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30404 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'd never heard of one until Boxing Day. I wouldn't care but the bloke I know who got one is about my age. Perfect for his 'selfies' for his Facebook page apparently. I was speechless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
