It's Black Friday

[sitandnatter]

The day when the city centres will now be filled with vomit, the emergency services will have double the call outs due to drunks, normally finishing the week on half a lager, having their Christmas office session, collapsing in streets comatose.

Is it a British thing?

Should they pay for their ambulance pick up?

Have they paid enough in taxes already?

Should they grow up?

Or is it just once a year and we need to stop being so judgemental, afterall they'll pay for it tomorrow with the hangover from hell..............

The government want people to spend money to help the economy so perhaps they should be applauded for doing their bit?

ps. that was v. tongue in cheek!

omg I am going out tonight, and I hate any form of drunk people and fighting and stuff. scared now.

Well it will employ the police, half of the NHS, they'll have paid for it with booze tax, council road cleaners will be fully occupied until the morning.

YOu have a point signet they should be applauded.

Think of the boost to the pharmaceutical industry as they reach for the Anadin Extra and Alca Selzters in the morning.

I knew there was a reason I got bladdered all those years ago pre - child.

Wear your wellies diva or step out carefully. [fsmile} Whatever you do dont skid in it.

I thought it was next fri? As in the last fri before Xmas?

Shutup apparantly it's today as lots of offices are breaking up. It will be carrotts by dawn on the streets of England.

I stand corrected!
Glad I'm not going out then

I'm only smart because it was on R5Live tonight.

It's fine for the emergency services to help out people in distress, sometimes you can have too many 'accidently'

But it's the violence against the people who're trying to help them that fucks me right off.

They might be pissed up, but there's no excuse for assaulting anyone.

Oh joy!! Works drinks tonight, better wear my highest platforms to keep my feet outta it

Watch out for skidding mrs twinks your bum could end up in the middle of it.

We had the ambulance people around last week as Mum had a fall, they were lovely, we were nattering away to them about various bits of nonsense. We apologised for taking their time. Their reply was "we could stay here all day you're not vomiting on us and your not trying to beat us up". I think they meant it too.

Anyone who hurts an ambulance person should get the same severe sentence as the rioters got.

DH is working tonight. Hopefully there won't be many drunks and he'll get good tips.

Every cloud.

What does he do Mrschemist? I assume that chemists don't get tips so the clue isnt in the name....

in three cities they're setting up field hospital to help handle the expected number of incidents.

I'm out tonight - dh's work christmas do and I really should be getting changed for it, but can't be bothered. I'm hoping to not need the emergency services though!

Edith I heard Brum London but missed the third. Manchester perhaps?

DH going on his works evening to a resturant in the middle of nowhere. (Not exactly but a good mile from the main road).
I'm driving him there are picking him up.

What's that worth? It's a 6 mile round trip, twice.

Mrsflies one of the busiest nights has to be worth say £10 each trip, hell go for it charge £20 and let him beat you down each trip of course but then again I am cheap.

He's a chef, but doing waiting on tonight.

Oh no, it is really? It's my office Christmas party and I am a pregnant whale - don't fancy being sober amidst the drunks...

MrsChemist: Hope he does well from the tips!

(I had been wondering if he were a supplier of recreational pharmaceuticals and expecting Christmas tips like other regular suppliers [flush] sorry).

[flush] is what a predictive keyboard does to sorry again!
