Apparently I am not popular today as I left the Friday evening work drinks

without saying goodbye.

Precisely the reason I will never go again. at least in the old days I could use I'm going to the cash point excuse.

You have to sneak out of those things otherwise you get the never-ending "stay for one more drink" *******s.

Oh, this one's easy. You just explain to them that it was because you don't like them and couldn't bear a moment's more interaction with them. That should clear things up nicely.

I do the old "off to the loo" trick... as long as the loo is near the exit you can just sneak off..... and at my age going to the loo is getting more common :-(

a pretendy phone call also works. but there will always someone smoking outside so they will catch you.

Easier in summer to escape winter is more tricky if you have a coat or a bag or something with you.

Just go, tell them you have better shít to be doing the next day.

At the same time make a joke about them all being ****s, opening up that you don't like them and suggesting you would never socialise with any of them but for the fact that you work with them. Say this in a deadpan and serious way, but just as you go to leave do the wee gun motion and shoot them with both hands, creating the impression of humour and bonhomie.

You know you meant it. That is all that matters.

Be careful to not just walk to the pub next door or across the road as this may blow your story.

Was that one of Robbie Keane's goal celebrations?

:nod: Secretly telling all the Spurs fans what he thought of them.

Jesus wept - in the unlikely event that I would be leaving a drinks event early, i would just say "I'm going. Bye". Why must you make everything so complicated?

He did a wee tumble also and kind of shot directionless into the air. I am suggesting Pat actually shoots his work colleagues.

People insist I stay. I've had it all my life. I don't like it.

I'd forgotten how much the crapness of that celebration used to amuse/irritate me. The infant school level forward roll was particularly funny. Didn't he adapt it at one stage to introduce a bow and arrow into the equation?

they are just being polite - they don't actually care

I'm not sure about the bow and arrow bit, wouldn't rule it out though.

They do wee dances and everything now, it's a madness. The kids then copy them. My young fella scored a few weeks back and ran to the sideline and did the wee Ronaldo jump and thing. Looked a complete dick.

My 6 yr old pulls his shirt up to his head to make his ears stick out then does a dabbing elf..... gawd knows where he got that from
