Festive Friday
Hi Guys and Girls,
I am sure you all agree that last week's 'Special Friday' went down a treat. Indeed, having seen the state of most of you on Friday, I can confirm, that at least on a visual level you've rarely looked worse. Well done!
To celebrate this achievement, we have decided to make tomorrow 'Festive Friday'.
How can I take part I hear you cry?
Well - yes it does involve wearing a Santa's hat and tinsel, drinking port and telling inane Xmas jokes e.g.
Question: What do snowmen eat for breakfast?
Answer: Snowflakes.
Question: What's red and white and gives presents to good little fish on Christmas?
Answer: Sandy Claws.
Question: What do you get when you cross an archer with a gift-wrapper?
Answer: Ribbon hood.
Question: Why does Santa have 3 gardens?
Answer: So he can ho-ho-ho.
Question: What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?
Answer: Frostbite
But here are some further suggestions:
i) Wearing mistletoe in strategic positions.
ii) Wearing Santa style underwear.
iii) Saying "Ho Ho Ho" every time you answer the phone.
iv) Pulling someone that you wouldn't touch at any other time of the year - but justifying by saying "Come on! It's Xmas"
v) Singing Mistletoe & Wine repeatedly, until people cry.
vi) Having "special" Xmas meetings in the pub.
vii) Staying out until 3am, falling asleep on the night bus and waking up in Dartford.
viii) Drinking the "special" Xmas ale in the pub.
viii) Spraying silly string, across the whole office, without caring a thought about the office manager's reaction....
I could go on....
Needless to say the day will be fun. I hope that you all join in.

Special Friday
Good afternoon.
I think this needs very little explanation so I won't. Suffice to say that today is a bit "special" and so I am please to announce that it is officially....
Friday
Yes. I got home at 5:30am. There was a nice moment when I was talking to Ashya, Tracy, The Warren etc at 4:30am and suddenly realised that none of them were working the next day. I was.
A couple of photos are attached to illustrate the special nature of today.
Being the last Friday before Christmas, next week is Festive Friday. Details to follow...

Falling Over Friday
Dear Monkey People
Following the successes of Flaps Friday, Limp Friday and Bad Bastard Friday this week it's the turn of..... Falling Over Friday. It should be noted that falling over can take many forms and can include falling off something.
Hazel got things going in the early hours of this morning by falling off a wall. Apparently she didn't know where she was going and so climbed onto a wall "to get a better view".
There is a flyer attached so you can get all your friends involved. Also attached is last weeks certificate for the Best Bad Bastard Dancing competition. Well done Helen.
So let's get falling over. GO!

PS - Sorry, I couldn't be bothered to be funny this week.
