Work party ...

It seems like that every temp job so far has had some or other farewell party for a person leaving... This time it was dinner for the designer that is heading off for maternaty leave and has the most gorgeous insanely huge preggie belly since she has twins kicking around in there.

So wednesday night off the designers (me included) head off to pre drink as arranged by the head designer in a fancy private bar of the hotel on strand st (i think - it was a cab journey away from the office) which was designed by Philip Stark. This is where we started the drinking of expensive cocktails at £13 a cocktail in a very dim lit club enviroment causing me great shock coming out into the still bright light at 7:30. Off we trooped to the Thai resturant for a very nice (and very spicy - AHHHH) meal with some wine.

Then while a few left us after dinner (including the guest of honour - no blaming her though) the majority headed off to Punch and Judy in Covent gardens. This is apparently the oldest pub in London - or something like that. Then things started to get messy in the sense that out came sambuca shots all round and a few more drink laters we head off to the next drinking hole aptly named the Coal Hole. Which was another pub that had been around for decades! I just love how every thing is so old and has such a history here in London.

Then there were the guys left, me and anthea. The typical male call for a strip club went out and we all trooped off the the nearest tube to get to the closest strip joint. This particular joint was called Whites and seemed to cater for only corporate clients in the sense that it was only open on week nights ! ! Basically fun was had by all - with one of the group getting his first lap dance ever and looked like a very very happy man afterwards. Suddenly it was 2:30 and Callum was calling just to check i hadnt disappeared done a rabbit hole somewhere in London. Thankfully my bubby of the evening Gianni lived up north further then me and since I was on the way got a lift back in his cab. Finally I got to go home to crawl up in the arms of Callum - and getting teased about my drunken state .... :)
