Sounds like a moral obligation to do so, guess you might meet these.

What activities are planned? Give us a run down of the itinerary.

We do have pods and meeting rooms so I should maybe give them the benefit of the doubt as they’re new and maybe don’t know…
We were in an old 80s building until recently, each team in their own office which iMO was so much nicer.
Now we’re in modern, open plan, air conditioned offices, which should be nicer but I hate it. Open plan is a terrible idea (particularly post Covid), it’s so noisy, the temperature is never right, my bank of desks doesn’t even have a window.

I guess businesses are a bit stuck when it comes to this; tell everyone it’s best to be in the office for ‘collaboration’ or something and send everyone in to an open plan office which might actually disrupt people’s work or go back to teams having their own spaces with it being pretty obvious that they’ll be less interaction between different sets of people.
It all seems pretty daft as it is, I hear a lot of people being forced in these days when they might not even interact with anyone they’d actually work with.
Felt exhausted couple days ago, falling asleep at every turn, and my stomach was feeling weird. Wife came back from uni yesterday and been in bed since 7 last night. Stomach isn’t so bad, but I think I was just exhausted. Totally wiped out.
Have eaten like 10 bags of twiglets in bed so not all bad

Just had a nightmarish thought!
What happens when your kids find this forum and join?
My middle lad has started to skate a bit and he’s stoked on it and is the type to seek out stuff online even though he’s not allowed. He’d come on, get advice, not seem like a kid at first and then do something like ask for crit on his skateboard design and then i’d see it, because i’d seen it the night before in person, or he’d see something I have posted. Jeez.

At a place called lane7?
That’s the one
It’s like a mini Trocadero type deal with bowling, darts, amusement games etc and in the dead centre of town.
If you’re in the mood for a laugh it can be quite fun.
Make a show of being really drunk early and feign an early cab off into the night if you can’t bare the company.
Would offer to swoop in to save you and take you to the centre of town skate spot for street beers but my partners going abroad for work on Sunday and probably wouldn’t appreciate my absence the evening before

No, but that was probably when the place was last decorated.
