Flights to Thailand
I worked for a travel agent and the Christmas party prizes were always quality. One year the fancy dress theme was James Bond (it was 2007) so I decided to go all out to try and win.

So having spent 3 hours getting ready I turned up to catch the party boat at Sydney Aquarium which was absolutely packed with people.
I was pretty embarrassed to stand there waiting for my work friends on my own as I had turned up early.

At first my colleagues did not recognize me and I had to tell them who I am.

I am female and went dressed as Blofeld.

Still it was worth it as I won 2 tickets to Thailand.

Have you been hit
by some bizarre, story-quoting malware? Or are we just back from the pub?

Back from pub.
It was really because I was thinking that AB is a bit of a twat when he does this, so I thought I'd twat it up a bit myself.

At least
you actually succeeded in being a twat, an improvement on your famous failed attempt to be a motherfucker. What's next?

I might go for being a berk.
I like the word at the moment after discovering it's rhyming slang for cunt, yet it's the sort of thing you hear parents calling their kids.

I know what you mean
It's weird; having opened Pandora's box I feel guilty whenever I accidentally say it around my Mum. Then she says it back to me.

In all fairness, not fully convinced she'd care even if she knew.

Not too shabby...
But surely the prize should have been an extinct tropical volcano?

How did you do the hair? Or rather, lack of it?

A professional quality bald cap fitted in under 2 hours!
At least I know what I'll look like if I ever get cancer.
