My theory is it depends on who's been doing the recruiting, if it's older battleaxe women in charge of HR then they don't recruit young totty. Get an old smoothy bloke in charge and the place will be crawling with it.

I believe it's known as selection by erection

No but yeah but no really I can't be the only one who drinks so much during the working week?

I don't think current client would be very keen on lunchtime drinking. On the other hand, they regularly provide free booze at late afternoon team meetings, and also regularly put lots of money behind the bar at a nearby boozer for after-work drinks to celebrate things like the monthly RAJAR figures.

Previous client had a monthly picnic in the summer... all the developers would cart a load of booze and food over to St James' Park where we'd spend the afternoon playing frisbee or (in my case) lying on the grass

I think I do. Just went out 4 3 pints at lunchtime, really enjoyed it but it's just gettin 2 regular. Just City living is it?

HR girls always seem to be stunning. If ever there was a department you wanted to be supporting UAT in...

I must be working in the wrong places, I don't think I've ever seen anyone particularly attractive working in HR.

Unless he meant that TazMaN should drink a smaller amount of high-strength lager, in which case his sentence reads fine

Fair enough. Good point.

Me too come to think of it, mostly staffed by biffas.

Marketing usually doesn't disappoint though.

You definitely are. All of the HR chicks I've ever been through have been quite hot.

Apparently, as the shapely girl from HR told us, it's because while at work, your employer is responsible for your well-being, hence if you fall over and break anything it's their fault, outside the office you can do what you like.

Including the shapely girl from HR?

Drinking during office hours is viewed very unfavourably where I am. Chap went to a meeting with breath smelling of alcohol and was told to go home to sober up. Followed up by 1st e-mail warning next morning.
However it's OK to go and get slaughtered after work!

This is another part of the appeal of Australia, the traditional Friday afternoon beers in the office
