Christmas party 2016

[SimonMac]

Child has been vomitting today, which means no school tomorrow so can leave early and "work" on the train

[ladymuck]

On Saturday I have to drive dahn sarf to visit parents, sit through some kid's Christmas fillum with my god son, and attend my grandmother's 95th birthday dinner. Therefore, I will not be imbibing of too much party juice

[NickFitz]

I won't be making an effort as usual I do have a Christmas jumper though, I will see if it has any Xmas stains on it this evening, it might be fit for wearing tomorrow. Will be SS shopping at lunch time tomorrow at the office before shooting home to get the slow train into Marylebone. Will try and get there for 6'ish. Won't be staying too late though as last train back is 00:15 I think and if I miss that I am fecked. I am sure we will be able to imbibe the required bar bill by then though!

Still vacancies at some nearby Premier Inns in case of emergency, though Aldgate is fully booked

Indeed, we missed the boat on that one so are in the Apex by Tower Hill

As I spent ages working this out from things like 3D station plans and Street View: if you're travelling eastbound to Aldgate East, you'll come out of the exit closest to the hotel by going up the stairs nearest the back of the train and crossing over the lines to the exit on the westbound side. Saves ditzing about waiting for the lights on Whitechapel High Street

(Westbound? You can probably work it out.)

You'll emerge at a 45° angle to the crossroads; turn 135° right to head down Leman Street in the direction of the hotel, which is on the second road on the left.

Still undecided. Need to get out and about & get my mind off stuff.

Son diagnosed last week as being on Autistic Spectrum and severe ADHD & something else unknown, and confirmed by the head NHS paediatrician today with recommendation to dose him up.

Excluded twice in a week now, so too gutted to do anything to be honest, so I'll probably just talk about this crap all night if I come (and not champagne) so don't want to bore everyone.

Where can I land my helicopter?

Where can I land my helicopter?

Model helicopters don't take up that much space surely?

You are however far more likely to end up at aldgate (met and circle lines) rather than aldgate east (hammersmith and city line only).
