any event on a boat is always a bad idea. especially if the boat is anywhere near the Thames.

So much bad experience speaking here.

I think any team building exercise, boat or not, is a bad idea but there you go.

Obviously.

My task is to find the best way to spend the money anyway. Preferably on things I like, such as wine.

I wonder if there is any research as to whether they actually help teams work better? My guess : No.

Give each person their share of the budget and then all go home early.

I went to a design agency that was doing this with Call of Duty but on Macs. I didn't do very well as I missed my mouse buttons.

Don't do some of the shite we've had to endure like "learning circus skills" or "buying ingredients for luxury sweets and then doing a sales pitch".

No matter what you pick though, someone will be unhappy. Miserable gits.

We used to hear them going up and down the Thames at night.

I went on one once - the drinks cost a fortune and you weren't allowed to get off :(

£2.50? Man, that's not fair. Grounds for moving house, I'd say.

Half of the stuff they do (the non-big-budget bits) are existing team building crap around London.

Yes.

The pub we go to in Epsom somehow manages to charge 1 pound more than The Jerusalem for Orange and lemonade.

Amaze.

The Rising sun.

£4 for a pint of the stuff.

Or £2.70 for Orange and soda. That's some bizarrely expensive lemonade.

I was at a party the other night and there wasn't one round that reached a tenner and that includes a round where I bought five drinks.

There's a restaurant a few miles out of Shrewsbury that I went to a couple of years ago.

Pint of Guinness + pint of Coke: £9.00.

Actually, the TBI in Nottingham is pretty good too. The ones in town are fucking awful though.

I'm of course most sad to be missing the vegetarian option breakfast provided by the work canteen (a hash brown).

Cocktails are going to be served at the arrival at the venue at 10:30am. I am missing the obvious carnage that will follow.

Chloe ate my hash brown for me. Then managed to lock my computer by repeatedly banging in the wrong password. :DD

I've just had an incoherent message from Chloe that I think says something along the lines of her drinking my quota of alcohol and that she's doing it for the both of us. She seems to be enjoying herself either way, so I assume this will go down as a hit.

I, on the other hand, have just had a dandelion and burdock, some popcorn and a cheese triangle. And I'm still wearing my raccoon pyjamas.

I'm going to have to take my awesome pyjamas off now because Ange is coming over and I want to look pretty for Ange. Also, I spilled a toffee yoghurt over the raccoon's ear.

Dammit.
