So, 3 Xmas parties out of the way. My team one, a gatecrashed one (thanks Tim et al) and my department one on Tuesday night.

There was much drinking, much laughter - which made up for the fucking atrocious food they served. AND NO PUDDING! (well, apart from the chocolate fountain but that no good to someone with lactose intolerance).

Everyone was a given $50 in funny money so you could play Roulette or BlackJack. I went for the BlackJack and started off with $100. The idea was, whoever had the most chips at the end of the night won a bottle of champagne. The winning total of $31,225 was cashed in around 1/2hr before the tables shut. I played up until the house closed - my final hand took me to $28,605!!!!!

If it had been real money, I may well be out celebrating still :)

Anyhoo - here are a couple of pictures of me from the night. One looking relaxed and the other appears to be me doing a "Compo" from Last Of The Summer Wine. God knows....

Cool as a a cucumber

Erm...
