I'll probably be back up there again in a couple of weeks.
I took some suggestions from DG the last time I was there for a few days.

Indeed you did.
Just got back from Edinburgh yesterday. I didn't leave Whistle Binkie's until 3am on Sunday; I was absolutely fucked when I got home.

Good work.
I'm not going to be there long enough for beer tomorrow. But I'll rectify that next time.

Remind me nearer the time and I will gaz you some suggestions. The Mighty Badger lives in Edinburgh, so you could also get some recommendations from him, or maybe even meet him for a pint if you both wish.

Sounds like a plan.
The problem is that I'm often with people and it's frowned upon to fuck off and have fun with others and leave your colleagues to dine alone.

Bollocks
You're a contractor. This time next year will they give a shite about you?

If you think there's more business kiss their arses until your lips hurt. If you don't, go to the dogfucking quarter.

This is very true.
However I'm only there for the day tomorrow. To be fair though, I did most of the pubs DG suggested, and still went out for a meal with people. Granted, I'd had half a dozen pints first, but I'm nails. They didn't notice.

I've done that loads of times.
You spend all day every day with these people, so why not fuck off and have a bit of fun with others?
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 25 Oct 2011, 20:19, Reply)

Two reasons (usually)
1. Expenses. You tend to behave if you are with others.
2. Unpaid overtime. Will I be discussing Bristol City, or will I be talking about the project? It'll be the latter.

Keep 'em sweet
If you're only there for a day you have an excuse.

If you're there for more than one day, who knows who you are? Get out of it and amuse yourself.

Oh, I usually try to.
But some times you've got to tow the line innit.

And they might extend my contact/employ me again at some point in the future.

I've been there
Admittedly a long time ago, although I suppose the same applies now.

You are what the entity paying the bills wants you to be.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 25 Oct 2011, 20:37, Reply)

Exactly.
Unless they want me to be a raging poofter.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 25 Oct 2011, 20:38, Reply)

Depends what they offered me
I could be a mighty puff for big enough money.

(Not £5, as I was once offered in a boozer in Huddersfield.)

Lacking in change eh?

I think a fiver would have bought a round for four and crisps in those days
It was nice to feel wanted though.

I remember when a mate of mine said to me
'If I was a bird, I'd fuck ya!'

Never have I felt better about myself.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 25 Oct 2011, 21:01, Reply)

I'd like you to reflect upon that statement
And this "mate" of yours.

I'm seeing some teenage homosexual crush, I'm afraid.

It was quite recently as it goes.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Tue 25 Oct 2011, 21:06, Reply)

So we'll stop now
Is it worth a new thread? I'm not here for much longer. Cavy will come back. Amberl is kicking about. Do we need one?

I'll do it if it's justified.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 25 Oct 2011, 21:11, Reply)

Yeah.
But better than the Free Fair one. He's been told he can stay up late 'cos it's half term.

Fuck 'em. You are entitled to a life. Particularly when away from home on business.

If only you hadn't sold out.
I could have worked for you. And then refused to go for a drink with you at the end of a working day!
