Another do, another day after the night before.

Chris Evans | 11:17 UK time, Wednesday, 17 December 2008

Last night the Drivetime team...

...had their "Christmas do."

A "do" indeed, we had a meal and then a dance in the same restaurant!

To be honest we had a blast, feeling it now though.

Have to write the drama. I think brief is sometimes best, well it will have to be today.

The thing is about a night like last night, when everyone was on such good form, it just makes me want to go straight out again. In the old days, this would have been exactly what happened but now I know, that is not "The Way." Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Alright, peace brothers and sisters and onwards and upwards.

CLP.

    Afternoon (just)

    I once drove to work after a particulalry bad night on the tequila...I did have to stop a few times and *get some fresh air*. It was only about 5 miles! Oh the good old days / shame.

    Sometimes the only way to deal with the badtimes is to get up, get out and get on with it, unles you're chained to the bathroom of course!

    Now about Mark Owen .............




  • Comment number 4.

    Nope Gary for me please - ask him when Britainnia High cd is going to be released with his and Guy Chamber's songs on it?

    What a song writing duo.

    PS my mum taught Guy to drive and his brother as well.

    AFTERNOON BLOGMEISTER!

    Phoning in sick after a crimble do is a no-no! All your colleagues (and the bosses) know that you had a skinful, and then you phone in "Tom". You know we are all thinking that Sally is a lightweight now!!! tsk tsk, I thought she was more of a party girl than that!!! Although Foxy or Jonny I would have accepted it for some reason! Impressions huh???

    DD out

  • Comment number 6.

    See DD - I thought Sally wa a bit more hardcore than that too. Now I feel all let down!

  • Comment number 7.

    MORNING///AFTERNOON CHRISTOPHE!!! COOOEEEEE!!!

    Can't believe Sal is pulling a sickie, lightweight! Mind you, being tee total these days I can never use that excuse!

    Excellent work mrsmaryevans!!

    I guess I did sink a few pints of Honeydew at Docklands eh DD!?!?

  • Comment number 16.

    MrsMary,

    That's very good.....LOL, keep guessing.......

    An early entry for me this morning as the weather here as delayed a lot of things. Schools delayed by 2 hours, snow and ice everywhere..... I am waiting for daylight and will venture out onto the roads....... More bad weather on the way at the end of the week...yuk

    On the TV right now a bit about sleep emailing.... have you ever heard of such a thing.....?

  • Comment number 17.

    Hi bloggers, long time no blog - at least from me.
    Can't do the drinking thing any more, it just takes too long to recover plus I hate it when you plan to have 'a session', leave the car at home and then actually only have one or two drinks THEN can't get a taxi for love nor money!!!
    If only I hadn't had the drink at all, I could be in the car and home instead of shivering on a pavement surrounded by very drunk people.

    Must be getting older and maybe wiser?

    Crumpy, out xx

  • Comment number 18.

    Bondy - sleep emailing. Do tell us more ....

    and WAT team do you support, I wonder???

    Hiya Crumpy! It has been a long time. Pleae, please stick around!!!!

    DD - are you hiding .......

  • Comment number 19.

    Hi CtD,

    Apparently it's along the same line as sleep walking and sleep eating....... Really weird, I can't image myself doing any of them, but that's just me.......

  • Comment number 20.

    Sleep emailing??? Lor' I muck it up awake what on earth would it look like if I did it in my sleep??

    I just like sleep ....sleeping.

    Crumpy :)

  • Comment number 21.

    Diva, was just peeling the sprouts!

    No need for me to hide!

    I don't believe that you did any more honeydew than I did lager, unless you were caning it prior to my arrival! Good book was it??

    DD out

  • Comment number 22.

    Crumpy, I couldn't agree more......

  • Comment number 23.

    No sign of Matt or Dan today??

    Did they meet?

    Did they hit it off?

    Did they leave together???

    DD out

  • Comment number 24.

    DD - they are meeting tonight :-)

    (it is still wednesday isn't it?)

  • Comment number 25.

    I'm glad that the christmas do sickie is not only pulled by the everyday drunk in the street! I haven't had one of those in a while... I try to make sure I don't plan anything for the next day (the joys of being your own boss eh?).

    I'm afraid that our only little Christmas do is going to be on Friday afternoon and it's not the usual big dressed up thang... though I might just do so and hang the lot of em anyway!

    Must listen again to last nights show it sounds like it was a good one!

    Oh poor Sally

    I'm sure it's a bug and not due to excess intake of loopy juice.

    More Take That talk ... I could not possibly comment.

    Just a reminder one and all to feed the birds this time of year. Today I treated them to left over Hungarian Goulash as Iv'e run out of Nuts.

    Glad to hear everyone enjoyed themselves in Scotland.

    Yay to it being hump day but boo to it being the last Weds show for a while ... who's going to hold the fort while CLP's away?????

    Hope Sal's feeling better soon - maybe the pressure of being at no 3 has got to her ...

    derbyfi....LOL


  • Comment number 39.


    Bondy, I remember seeing something on TV recently about sleep emailing. Some bod (that's bod not bond) has already tried to cash in by producing a software package you can install which will take you through an apptitude test if you attempt to send an email when you should be sleeping or under the influence of alcopop's..........at that point I switch off!

    Sorry to hear Sally is poorly - must have been something she ate!

    I am OK in myself just sore, and quite mainful in the legs and back at the moment.

    I will be going back to work tomorrow irrespective, but mainly because I don't want to just go back for our Christmas lunch on Friday! Nuttin' special just a pub lunch with colleagues, and a secret santa that I refused to take part in! Bah Humbug!!!

    Although, [No-one else is listening are they?] I have bought for myself a black mug with Bah Humbug written on it which I intend to wrap up and get given to me during the Secret Santa at the meal!

    I'm not really a Bah Humbug just didn't want to take part!

    Lyndy, I'm starting to spot a trend in your suggestive guesses for advent calendar 2!

    hmmm

    I went into work on Monday as I had certain jobs to finish. Whilst there works version of Mrs Spirit of Christmas (you know the type Chrimble songs being played all day from December 1, Xmas deckies and ear-rings etc.) Came hobbling towards me as I was hobbling towards her. She asked what had happened to me, so I told her! She then told me what she had done. The story follows;-
    She was moving her Christmas tree in the living room and trod on one of the legs of the base which cut her foot! Oh how I laughed!!!

    Thanks Diva for that nice thought about Christmas Eve a week today.

    This time next week I'll be at the parentals probably listening to Nine Lessons and Carols, which is a tradition, peeling the sprouts and trying to calm my mother down. She's only got to cook for 7 but it might as well be 17 the fuss she makes!

    Love her to bits though.

    Need to lie down in a darkened room - called at my butchers on way back to office - no - not the turkey - picking that up next week!! How much!!! you will just so never guess but it did involve moving the knife further and further out on a bita beef earmarked for me!

    I'm not saying who I would choose I'll let you guess .

    Afternoon everyone,

    Well first it took me an hour to dig out my drive way (normally takes me half an hour), then the drive to work. Why is it that poor road conditions bring our the worst in drivers....... Anyway, made it in without any incidents......


  • Comment number 88.

    Hello Chris,

    Party party! The thing about parties is, if you have too many too quickly, they become a normal night: just that thing you do after work. It's the gap between parties that makes parties, parties.

    It's ok to have lots of parties this time of the year though: it wouldn’t be this time of the year, otherwise.

    You've got our house all upcited about Christmas…..

    Darth Vader says to Luke Sky Walker- "Luke, I know what you're getting for Christmas."

    Luke replies- "you can't possibly know- how do you know?"

    Darth Vader says, "I felt your presents".

    Don't blame me, it's one of yours from the 90s!.

  • Comment number 90.

    Hi BeesMum, I appreciate your concern.... How have you been?


  • Comment number 91.

    ........hmm, not sure I like the idea of doing extreme sports PP - a nice posh dinner was more my idea! Could go for watching a sports event though - Lords Test match, FA Cup Final in an executive box, or similar?

    If it was all action (of the sort you suggested!) that would mean I'd have to go for someone younger - but not someone too young who'd totally show me up! - rather than a more 'mature' man who might collapse and die on the date! Imagine how bad that would be!!

    Still thinking................but keep coming back round to Mr H.

    But do play the game and at least give us a clue to your choice - occupation or nationality maybe?

    df

  • Comment number 92.

    Spending loadsa money James oh yes and popping in on the odd client! Odd being the operative word in certain cases!

    I think I would have given up digging meself out after half the time you took and dived back to bed!! Ever likely you're fit for your footie!!!

  • Comment number 93.

    .........another good choice would be Mr E of course - if you want a good laugh along the way.

    BeesMum, it's one of those things that if you don't do it now, it freezes and then becomes a sheet of ice and is then a real pig to clear. On top it all, if we are supposed to get more snow later in the week, well that just adds to the fun....... Not that I'm complaining......
