Excellent Christmas Party

Sue had asked me to send her some red-eye pictures for a project she was working on. When questioned about her choice of photograph, she said she had to use this particular one as it had the least amount of pint glasses in view!

Waltzer's
Notebook
You may have seen The Waltzer spinning around with a notebook. Wondering
what was in it? The following is taken straight from that notebook.
Gillo: Ah she's a lovely girl but I wouldn't be glued to her.
Des: Are yiz all drunk? Russ: Fair play to ya. Looking good.
Waltzer: Food tasty, bar easy.
Waltzer: Dressing as Santy is very liberating; it's nearly like being
a transvestite.
Cian: The women are dressed up like hoors in a brothel.
Emma: One vodka, two dry Martinis, a squint of gin.
1.33 Fiona robs bottle of wine. (White)
Russ: She's got an infatuation for someone but he's married so you write
down "She was nearly in there if only he wasn't married."
Cian: Officer, I never touched her.
Ger: A great effort for one person for the benefit of many.
Tom: Sure t'was grand crack had by all.
Sandy: I told Greg that I saw him in the burger bar in San Fran.
Phil: Waltzer, you're the best designer in the world.
Charley: Don't call me Charles, it's Carlos Lawles Clarke.
Waltzer: What did you think of the night?
Paul Little: Boss!
Aisling: Much better than last year.
John Nolan: Different. Great music.
Phil Murray: It's like fuckin' Sligo. Fuckin' bus four. I'm not a number,
I'm a free man.
Jack: The band kicked ass for a change. About fuckin' time.
Paul Ward: Verging on the superfluous.
Ed Boyle: I think it's 33.
Dave Manzor: Better than last year.
Emma: Fantastic.
Mohammad: Good. I like the beard of Santa.
Shandy loves Carlos!

Christmas party "Bangtastic"
Ballsbridge - A bangtastic time was has by all who attended the company Christmas party in Jury's last week. The party didn't suffer from problems such as the "ridiculously overcrowded and understaffed bar" as did last year's bash. After my dramatic entrance with Santy hat and beard, I found myself sitting with an unlikely crowd - mostly sims including Joey Rainbow, Ollie, Johnny Balloons and Big Des. The food was a bit slow to materialise but was very tasty. The lemon sorbet threw some of us off, mind you.
There was an old woman working as a waitress who looked like she was on her way out. Poor aul' divil, they probably wouldn't let her retire. They probably have whips in the kitchen to make them work harder. Having said that though, she was a decent aul' one and I had a bit of a laugh with her when she tried to take my plate before I'd finished.
When the dinner was finished we weren't subjected to any boring speeches like last year. Bonus! The floor was cleared and the music started. I was chatting to some of the Project Managers when I noticed two girls were about to go dancing. I legged it out onto the floor in front of them just so I could say that I was first on the dance floor. I could see some of the bosses laughing at this weirdo dressed as Santy wielding notebook and camera, bopping away with the company girls. Despite the fact that I was roasting under the hat and beard, I managed to kick it up for quite a while when Johnny Owens and Nessa joined me on the floor.
But you can dance in the Pod, so I went about chatting to a few of the crew who had taken to standing out at the still efficient bar. My camera battery was running out after taking so many pictures and it ended as I was taking a posed picture of bosses Kevin S. and Fran from America. Some photographer I am!
Ciara was the funniest with a healthy amount of drink consumed, as the pictures show. She distributed a blind apology the next day for any wrongdoing she may have been up to but "can't remember a thing." Luckily my pictures helped piece the night back together.
Outside I was extremely lucky to get a taxi after the traditional bus missing ritual and was home with no worry about the next day as I had it off. Rapid tunes!
So overall: Party: 90% I'm docking 10% because there wasn't as many there as there could have been and the food was slightly slow. But that's nothing compared to the great fun and shenanigans that were had at Christmas 2001. Bangtastic!

Ballsbridge - Fair play to the Annette and the crew. The Christmas party was a most enjoyable affair providing many photo opportunities and quotes for this site. It was enjoyed by everyone there too, by the sound of it. See In Brief and Culture for more details, right.
Boardroom - It transpired on Thursday that Sue included an image from the Waltzer Experience in one of our products, Digital Photography. The
