Christmas Party..too early?


Recommended Posts

Hmmm. It is a tricky one.


On the one hand: It is imperative that many many Christmas parties are had every year and that they all have re-used bunting, free sandwiches and paper hats. One must attend as many as possible and fall asleep on trains wearing your paper hat. It is that wonderful time of year where we get to witness embarrassing behavior from colleagues who otherwise ?don?t really drink that much?. And let?s face it, who doesn?t enjoy a bit of inappropriate nudity or a punch-up involving Margaret in accounts and Neville from the post room?


On the other hand: You don?t want to have all those other celebrations leading up to Christmas to be belittled. Let us not forget glorious cause for celebration which we are privileged to have once a week known as Friday.

It is never too early to plan a christmas bash as people tend to book places very early anyway!

I am a christmas baby ( I turn 30 in December..wooo flirty thirties!) so maybe that is why I am like a kid waiting for chrismas!)


and on fridays at the locals no mistletoe is provided nor any sequins so it doesnt count does it??

    • What I don't understand is those that are clamouring for this says there is an urgent need for more teachers yet they also say there are lots of places at schools for the children leaving private school due to dwindling pupil numbers (at primary especially). Surely then the teacher "gap" can, in part, be plugged by this?   This does seem a very blinkered, dog whistle attack on a certain part of private education and it will be interesting to see how the courts (and Europe) views it. Given the government accelerated the rollout to happen in the middle of a school year (which no-one thought was a good idea) probably shows they may not believe they are on strong ground - it feels like a "beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission" situation.
    • I have tried Ancestry (library) and Findmypast (library and paid). They both pay for archives to digitise some of their holdings. Forget details, Both has things other doesn't but think Ancestry is ahead. I found the search facility frustrating - you needed to play with options a lot.   My dad did research before these sites existed which was harder work but more fun. I recall instances where Ancestry made wrong assumptions (something like mire than one John and Joan Walker in same town).  
    • 01102528 and 01902663 are the two linked Police crime report numbers associated with the individual in the photos.
    • Montessori schools are private so will have to pay VAT.  Not sure what the confusion is. I expect most of us who never even considered sending our kids to Prep school, Montessori or Steiner have particular sympathy.  Of course in a years time we will see and you may say "I told you so".
