3:02 PM Recover Welly welly welly... this has been a tiring week. Aside from the usual meetings and bar code related jiggery pokery, work has been pretty eventful. There's been a sense of electricity/dread in the air in the run in to Friday's Christmas party, and with good cause. It took place on a boat by Embankment and we were plied with champagne (that's a posh version of Strongbow), beer, vino, tequila, gin and tonic... ugh... just thinking about it makes me feel sick. The choppiness of the Thames didn't help matters, but luckily managed to get through the day without blundering. I did however manage to talk to the CEO over lunch about my amazing lip balm parking ticket idea and told him my Filthy Filthy Chat Up Line. All plans of taking the day easy and avoiding embarassment had flown out the window. On the plus side, my Secret Santa gift to the financial director went down a treat! I received a pocket sudoku in return. I've never done those puzzles before so I'm not sure why they got it for me, maybe I'm giving off brainy vibes at work? Nah, not possible! Another thing that went downa treat was my CD of rock songs for the party- loads of Boston, Journey, Rainbow, you can't go wrong! We headed off to Motion afterwards. A certain member of staff took a piss right in the middle of the bar, and I lost my coat. It all goes a bit hazy after that. And by hazy, I mean I can't remember f**k-all. All that's left when you wake up the next day is to piece together everything that happened based on your mobile; photos, texts sent, texts received, calls made etc. A bit like a low budget version of Memento. Now I just have to wait for the official pictures to come back of the day. I hope they're kind to me... ----- I was naturally feeling a bit delicate on Saturday morning, so me Doughie and Chuff went to the pubs to relax on the big sofas and watch the Liverpool match. Chuff has *literally* got 644 nicknames, and the latest in the long line is Raymond (named after Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man). This might sound a little harsh, but for those of you that know him this makes perfect sense; he's quite absent minded, yet capable of moments of sheer genius. At full time, the commentator mentioned that Liverpool had 20 shots on goal, with 9 on target, to which Chuff said "Hmmm... 45%". We were gobsmacked. He was right! Ok, the maths wasn't very difficult, but this was Chuff we're talking about, a guy who none of us would trust to make a cup of coffee. If this Raymondism continues we're gonna have to by matching suits and take a little trip to Vegas.  Look at the smile on his face... it's almost as if he understands. ----- I usually get my hair cut every 3 weeks. By keeping short hair I can stay a little more aerodynamic and spend less time styling it (seeing as it's usually impossible to style it). Now however, I've been commanded by various people to let it grow. Being the highly suggestible person I am, I've taken heed and am approaching week 5. It's currenly looking a bit Mark Gonzalez:  When it grows more I may go for The Bravery:  Of course, this will prevent me from smiling ever again. ----- Does a personality league exist? Like when people say "She's totally out of your league" when referring to looks, is there an equivalent for personality? I've never heard anyone say "She's ugly, but her personality is through the roof, you don't stand a chance". Leave a comment ::

You should totally go all Bravery with your hair. Hell, maybe go Panic! At the Disco if you're feeling super brave...
Heh! You'll have to have your smile surgically removed... and be all emo.
Tim - does Panic! have a haircut? I've seen one of their vids and the bloke wears a top hat. I really hate that song, but I strangely HAVE to listen to it if it's on. weird..
It's more a personality cup. Like the LDV Vans trophy. So if you're in the premier league of looks, you can't qualify for the personality cup. FACT.
That analogy is frankly genius.
