Christmas Party (Work)

So, last night (as in Thursday Night) was the works Christmas do.  (are you supposed to spell do with one o or two o’s in that context?)

(and why a bloomin Thursday, you can’t have THAT much fun, cause you have to be in work the next day (maybe its SO you don’t have that much fun… who knows.)

Anyway, work paid for all of us to go to the NEC for Jasper Carrott’s “Rock With Laughter”, and it was the “VIP” package don’tcher know!!

 Free parking (for those that drove), VIP Entrance, Buffett, Bubbly, Wine, and even chocolates on the tables!  skip the queue’s and walk into the auditorium from backstage and take our seats on the front row.

I had some REALLY miserable bint next to me who had won her tickets from the local papers “competition”.

Good line up, but with dissapointments.

Jasper was full of energy, but had very little new material which was a shame

Nicki was there, fresh from being kicked off X Factor, and my god, she has got a FANTASTIC voice.

Ray Quinn (again X Factor, but from last year) did an Amy Winehouse!  he could barely sing, and looked like he was either stoned or p*ssed (or both).  not all that impressive, also, trying to do “Sexy” moves when you like like a Secondary School First Year is NOT a good thing (Quoted from Jasper: “I’ve never had to introduce a foetus before!”)

Jo Brand: Never really been a fan of Jo’s, but she had me in stitches all the way through her set

Jack Dee: Unimpressive, not as good as I was expecting

Dame Edna: Still going strong

Jamelia: Again, WOW, what a voice!  also, you would never guess she was a mother.  in fact I could see a fair few envious looks shooting her way.

 The Manfreds: Fantastic

The Tapdogs (or Lapdogs as JC called them): Erm, its a group of guys stamping their feet.  what more can be said?  oh, oh, one can stamp his feet while bouncing a basketball!

Shakin Stevens: Lived up to his name

Chris De Burgh: A-Bloody-Mazing (but isn’t he short… he always sounds much taller (if that is possible))

A bloody good night all round though.

Now, getting ready for my ACF XMas do.  Saturday Night, formal affair, should be great fun!
