But no move would be complete without a little investigative work of the new digs, we all know the best place to start is with the local drinking establishments.<br />
<br />
So armed with new kinfolk to meet and a drinking kitty (hurrah) all factions of K group convened with a designated leader (mine was the very capable Jules Hilson who only thrusted 3 toffee vodka shots upon us all) we invaded drinking holes with only a fact finding question sheet to guard us.<br />

The night culminated in a mass of bodies at the Crown pub (not sure they knew what had hit them). I've had it confirmed that over 50% of all kitties were spent on shots, judging by the paled complexion of many faces and the mass of bacon breakfast baps eaten the next morning, this must be pretty factual! (50% may or may not be a true figure and no actual people were asked to clarify my fictitious amount!)</div>

<br />
So in an attempt to try and soothe the pain that is working indoors when it is gloriously sunny outside (I've decided to equate it to being like a dog locked in a car on a sunny day staring longingly out of the windows), we've bought ice lollies for our floor and had picnic's.<br />

If you've been here you will know about our garden where we like to sit and have a cheeky BBQ but most are unaware of our other outside area's. So armed with purchases from yonder Tesco's and even further yonder Sainsburys a merry band of men and women climbed the stone steps to join the kensington Olympia skyline and feast on a large pink picnic blanket (actually yoga mats but i'm using my creative licence here).<br />

I'm sure for captain Dave Buonaguidi it seems like only yesterday that he started to build our Karma ship and now we sail far and wide on the K group sea's (I don't often use maritime references but someone is playing soft melodic music on my floor so I have been lulled into a lovely nautical haze...)</div>

45 pizza's and 15 portions of garlic bread have been chewed, swallowed and are slowly being digested by the inhabitants of 31 Vernon street. We will all be going to the local public house later for a well earned toast to our 12 years of existence, Hip Hip.......Trinkerbelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03938317001633461297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846037672061022263.post-22908288024756289242012-04-27T07:54:00.000-07:002012-04-27T07:54:09.375-07:00Under constructionSome of us went down to view the new offices (currently under construction). It really is a building site right now, hence the hi-vis vests. Kat of course was put in a special 'fire warden' fluro-orange number. We'll report back with photos when it's looking more like a workspace.

Put chicken in the equation and suddenly loyalty goes out the window. The scandal came in good and proper - no really, stuff which would make Sid blush. Top of that list was the lovely Alex Holbrook whose story really did take the biscuit and who proved herself all the lovelier by offering her chicken cheque to the whole agency.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">19 buckets, 120 pieces of chicken and 500 chips later, w</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">e thank you chicken Gods.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); line-height: normal; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; font-family:Georgia, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCXEcsVbzrgNwsIDHv6is0D76_hCi3LMYJHhnpDr-k5z_Euk8T3uUhOkRVWvtOf68GPijs6DVXEAyFRo7pl2MmBR73Sy0XiYe5iDO_UuNBbWxi9XaGn83_kKDIU7c3ciVXQEmSRY2qWzwV/s320/photo-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659644736706951202" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></span></span></div>HarrietGunninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09753045186860490661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846037672061022263.post-81102766623193182492011-09-14T05:51:00.000-07:002011-09-14T06:15:19.734-07:00Things that Get Our Goat (Part 756)Normally we pride ourselves on being relaxed, even, happy-go-lucky in nature here. But just as apostrophe misuse prompts Sidney to throw hard objects through windows, just as criminal activity can cause David to go Postal, and just as the inevitable descent of our little kitchen into student-style squalor makes Rainna threaten to do very unpleasant things with forks, there are some things that get my goat. <br />This wrapped front page of a recent Metro newspaper is one of them, and I just wanted to get it off my chest.<br />I feel much better now, thanks.
