Spending the early evening unconcious in a hedge? Having a fight in a kebab shop in the early hours? copping a drunken snog with Sharon from accounts?
We're all going to Harry the Spiders 50th birthday party, which should be quite civilised (I hope) and wiull involve none of those things
The maddest Mad Friday I've ever spent was in Whitehaven after everyone had finished at Sellafield at lunchtime. When the apocalypse happens I now know what it'll look like... Whitehaven on Mad Friday.
Whats your plans then? Getting right amongst it? Or hiding until it all stops?
Attending a funeral
working from home! (to avoid the mad goings on at the Pub later)
Spending the day in the woods chopping down trees
cooking mince pies, lots of pies 🙂
I’ve got a 12.5 mile walk to retrieve my car from the in-laws, stupidly left it there on Sunday with my bike in the back
I've just done a ferris bueller off work and I intend to sit in bed watching netflix on the ipad and surfing the web on my phone with occasional visits to the kitchen to partake of some christmas snacks. I would go cycling but it's pissing down.
Probably head out on the singlespeed and hopefully avoid the showers (meteorological not Yorkshiremen).
Nowt, got to go to church and see if my lad his head boy or not, he's also doing a solo.
Then onto Zwift.... 2 hours on there with some WFH too and then a pint before heading home for the footy on TV later 🙂
I served my apprenticeship in Whitehaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Police escorts out of town etc.....Those were the days!
Today will be a calmer affair - a l'aal cycle and off to the pub for a Solstice celebration (plus a bit of footie).
Going out for a ride in the woods that Houns is chopping trees down in.
Couple of hours in Birmingham, could e interesting!
I've been in Whitehaven on mad Friday, saw a Star Wars trooper pushing a wheelchair with Andy from Little Britain in it. We went out at 7pm and I said to GF 'that's early given how late we're going to be out for' I was given an old fashioned look. how little did I know, worst hangover ever.
Nearly finished work, just a site visit with a new client to do at 2pm for a massive post construction clean then off out this eve for Mauritian food & a drink or two with riding buddies.
Night skiing. 10 of us. Then party after. Should be fun.
Working 🙁
well, surfing really 😉
Waiting for a free breakfast, then after work into town for a haircut, then off to do the Christmas shop... I'm pretty rock n roll
Dropping of a thankyou gift to my legal team, then wfh trying to decide if my 1 hour recovery ride is outdoors or zwift.
Will have a small beer tonight, Race training doesnt end until Monday.
Working. Going out for lunch with a few colleagues but one of them has also invited the boss along - blooming great ! Well done !
Staying in tonight. Hopefully clear up later for a ride tomorrow
Sat at my desk in work all day.
Loading car for some riding tomorrow.
Likely a snip of whisky...
I’ll keep an eye open for you sstu
TIMMMMBBBEERRRR!
Ride bike. Get Wet. Start tiling the bathroom.
Party central over here.
I'm going to my birthday do with Binners and a few others from here.
Attending work today, but not actually planning on doing much (any).
Knocking off early as have a trip to the vets with an unwell cat, hopefully it's not a one way event, given he's very old.
Off for a burger & a couple of beers later before a weekend riding in Wales 🙂
just had my hands down a toilet, frantically cleaning the house before the mother in law arrives. When she does, I'm off for an XC ski. Happy Birthday Harry the Spider!
Houns.
I'll keep a look out for you and your big chopper.
Me and a mate will both be on Kenevo's.
I’m starting a bit late today so don’t know exactly where working yet, I’ll look out for the roost behind you
out on the piss in leeds at 5. with work mates.
good real ale pubs that don't tolerate lager drinking people.
there wont be much madness going on.
Laundry, Waitrose shop by bike, CX bike ride in the wind, Tesco for beers, Lidl shop by car, KFC & home for my son's 13th birthday cake. Pure Friday madness.
So many shittly little odds and sods to sort 🙁
Day off. Was going to go for a ride, but it's pissing down. Will get a few jobs done round the house.
Might do the supermarket shop.
Not out drinking.
Rock and roll.
Ride across the Kerry mountains then avail myself of the local pub scene.
No one indulging in the proverbial coke and hookers? How very un-singletrack
Quick pint after work then see how it develops. The town seems to have a standard circuit of pubs that people do on nights like this so if you do the circuit in reverse and skip Wetherspoons (always a good plan anyway) then you can usually manage to have a fairly nice evening out.
You can fill in the huge rut that all that power causes.
There are some great adverts on CFM at the moment stressing what a great place Whitehaven is for a night out..:)
Going out for a birthday breakfast and then friends coming round for Indian this evening. Like a few others on here, I've done enough Whitehaven (or Workington for that matter:)) mad Fridays! I can't take the pace anymore...
My day is very cupboardy as I'm making a cupboard. 🤘😊🤘
I've had enough of Christmas .... Not Christmas as such but the indulgence... Two or more weeks of booze, minced pies, chocolate and more booze has me feeling almost full up.
But I go again tonight ..... Turkish (with dance floor, classy) with friends at home, "drinks" on saturday, sunday lunch with distant family, xmas eve pub, carol service followed by family rose trad fish n chips.
I must be topping 12 stone, heaviest in years.
Will I have any room left on the actual day?.... Let alone boxing day or the 27th around the outlaws or more "drinks" on the 28th.
Good luck all
Knocking off at 12, off to get tea sorted for tonight, then baking a pie for tea - basically avoiding it.
Just hoping not to catch a bastard cold from the 3 gits in this office snivelling and sneezing and sniffing.
Finished yesterday till the New Year. Today will be a pampering day for me, massage, nails and waxing before setting off late afternoon to the Peak for a few days in the camper.
Does Castleton do mad Friday.
Surfing pron, then Waitrose for food shopping, then pealing cardboard off floors (protective layers over the heated tiles which we’ve had on since it’s been layed) then a small party gathering which will involve a handful of kids and (not so young kids) where we will be serving fish finger sandwiches, chips, chocolate ice cream and listening to some very odd “youth” music.
Once they’ve all gone home, I shall play my guitar.
Group PT session and then home
#hardlivin
Work then hope wife is well enough to look after children this evening. Then hopefully
Mauritian food & a drink or
twoten with riding buddies.
with Mattbee (and others)
Couple of hours faffung on site, 200 mile drive home, all-you-can-eat Japanese and beer. 🙂
Currently listening to the In-house office cynical Gammon singing along to the worst kind of cheesy xmas shit music "one more sleeeeeeeep". This is infinitely worse than his usual "It's just common sense" rants. He's usually just misery to be near, but this is infinitely worse.
Anyway, those ****ers (it's a different company we share an office with) are too tight to pay for an Office Party so they're not out tonight.
We are, and I'm looking forward to it, nice bar / restaurant, tablet service AND it's a short stagger from my house. Youngest has a Gymnastics event first thing so I'll be woken at 06:45 usual, but then everyone is out until midday so I've got half a chance to recover.
My new drinkin' MO is to have 3 pints, not at the same time, then I'll be pretty pished, then drink soft drinks until I feel myself sober up a bit, another pint and so on, tip-toeing my way between drunk / sober so I've okay to drive home (kidding) so I don't feel like death tomorrow.
