    I used to have pet hamsters and they slept all day, but were noisy buggers at night.

    I remember a few boozy lunches at the "Tap & Spile" while working in Leeds - excellent selection of beers.

    I doubt I could manage a boozy lunch and then back to work now.

    We used to have a bottle of wine under our desk here, between 3 of us. Kept us pepped up after a boozy lunch. We are now more sensible, and only have the boozy lunch every day.

    He only started to bring in the 'vodka fruit shoots' when his manager told him he had to stay in at lunch time in a vain attempt to keep him out of the pub.

    He got extended a few times and went back twice after breaks, they were happy with his work, drunk or sober.

    I used to have a manager who drank reef at his desk - insisted it was just fruit juice with a bit of a kick

    Pint of Guinness and a pint of magners at lunch time, not done a thing this afternoon. Could crash out now.
