Last gig of the year was tonight. 4-6, 2 minutes from my house, minimal setup. I was home with a cider in hand at half 6.

No bookings till February now. Bliss.

Amusing thread :)

Just as you lot are packing up for Christmas, today for me is lots of running around sorting out PA gear, marquees, gazebo, blow-up stages, generators, power supplies, snow and bubble machines, 1000+ traffic cones, 200+ parking suspension notices, 100+ street signs, 100+ road closure and diversion signs... and a million other things no doubt for tomorrow's Fun Day! (http://www.sandowncarnival.com/xmas)!

Have a cool Yule everyone :beer1:

In reality I know I'll be working a club night 7th and 21st Jan, a Family night at a local community centre the last weekend in Jan and then my kids school disco early Feb.

Serves me right for not looking at my Schedule correctly. First wedding of the year is on January 7th. So not as long a break as I thought.


Have a great Christmas everyone.

Im finished now untill the 3rd January. Apart from a huge floor in London on the 29th that I doing with Paul.

Spend all day yesterday collecting in kit, cleaning drapes, and sorting out the jobs that staff are taking out next week.

Time for some well earned days off, chilling out with many beers is my plan!!

Relaxation my arse! I did my last party night on the 22nd, but decided the week before Xmas was the ideal time to fit a new bathroom. Some newly discovered rotten floorboards put a spanner in the works. However, all was back on track until this time yesterday, when I found that the suppliers have sent the wrong basin for the vanity unit, or vice versa...so scuppered until the middle of next week, at a guess.

Disco wise, I'm out on 30th and 31st, then not again until 21st/22nd Jan...but off to study with a GP in Wellingborough for 7 weeks come Jan 2nd.

Good point, although I'm not going to go into the office to do work untill the 3rd. We even recorded a festive greeting on the phone system to say that we are closed, its a first for us!!!

Feet are up until Boxing day Wedding.

But the major plus point is that Emmas' Mum has now gone to visit friends in Lancaster so now Christmas has started as we've got some piece and quiet.

I will no doubt be frequenting the local tonight until the early hours of Christmas morning.

Bit of work next week that floor with Ben on 29th then Weddings 30th & 31st.

January will be my proper chill time though.

Charlie, It`s called a hangover :D

If it is, it's been deferred for 24hours. ;) ;) I fear the answer is not alcohol or infection related. It is more likely that Charlie has attempted the impossible, and not surprisingly, failed. :( :(

I would suspect that the lad is overcome with shock, self doubt, and stress related ailments, because:















He followed me at his Christmas residency, and I guess he must have eventually got sick of folk asking:" Where's the Old Git? Is he coming back again? He was ace! " :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Then join the ranks of the (self) righteous. Today I have been hitting the zero alcohol beer pretty hard, and I'm not even tipsy yet. :beer1: :beer1:

Best way to avoid hangovers?? STAY DRUNK.......Now I will definately drink to that;) ;) :D :D

Charlie Brown

Nah, it wasn't a hangover because I didn't touch a drink last night!

I can't believe I've come down with a bug on Xmas eve. I should be getting drunk with mates, eating nice food etc. It sucks.
