Saturday may be the last Saturday for a while that you are allowed to go out....

London ‘facing Tier 3 before Christmas’ as figures shows rates up in 21 boroughs | Evening Standard

It's an online party.

I have a Christmas party to go to on Saturday. The friend who organised it sent out cocktail packs from Micro Bar Box and coordinated secret santa. One of the invitees is recovering from an op and isn't drinking so is therefore trusted to run the quiz.

Online parties help. I'm going to a Christmas one next week. I'm supposed to bring glühwein. But I plan on bringing brandy.

The cheeseboard is a bad idea. You won't sleep well after having that.

Did you start early or are you a lightweight?

Oh . And.
If cheese ruins your sleep you’ve not had enough port.

Early. Gonna be in bed watching pornhub by 10.

Got work to do you know.

Lightweight compared to you or a light drinker like George Best?

Update:

Pished.

Not eating but still drinking.
Although I have said I’ll order the cheese board in a bit.
It’s a bit depressing though as there’s no atmosphere. Roll on summer when the vaccines have been rolled out.

btw the only people that use hotels atm are people self isolating away from family or some hobos...

so would be particularly careful about hotels, shared ventilation system. think an airbnb would be slightly better.

If they are self-isolating they won't be sleeping at normal times and so could be noisy.

Stayed at a B&B once where the owners had to ask another guest to leave as he got drunk, made loads of noise and left his TV on very loudly overnight.

That IT worker exemption has been in place for months. That's not new at all.

Just trying to figure out what the update was around the high-value business traveller change they made recently.

EDIT:

I think this is the new section
Coronavirus (COVID-19): jobs that qualify for travel exemptions - GOV.UK

[darmstadt]

Maybe I could visit an office too and take up the new travel rules as I need to give a training course to a UK company: IT workers join elite sports stars, fat cat biz execs, celebs and posties for special treatment under England's COVID-19 travel isolation rules • The Register

Tapas.......

How many constitute a substantial meal for each person, and do you have to order them all at the same time, and do they still come under 'bar snacks' as they are in Spain? Just go to Wetherspoons, the food is so inedible you'll never finish it!

Only if you're MR Creosote
