Circle of Trust

Peeps

Last friday was our works do, now as you may remember a few bloggs back, I had had a nasty alergic reaction to alcohol which had left me with a three day hangover and more remorse that i had turned into " a one woman show" (that people hadnt bought tickets for) so I was "pacing myself", the meal at the Circle club was very good, excellent service and of course good company, the christmas crackers were quality, and the prizes would be useful throughout the year,for me the mini nail clippers would come in handy (As long as I know have a breakdown and start clipping my toes nails on the 256 like that strange man who sits upstairs at the front on the early bus - still at least he is making full use of the comute) a colleague who is enjoying dipping her toe in the waters of online dating, won a folding ruler, but the least said about that the better.

I did giggle when the joke from the middle of the cracker caught fire on the tealight centrepiece and our efforts to make the fire go out only fanned the flames, lucky for us even amongst our small group of 8 we had two fire wardens, so this was quickly resolved.

after our third round of drinks at a nearby pub on deansgate the game began.....

I made the Circle (for the so called circle of trust game) from the lid of a dairylea box and us large stickers on each side to give durability to the circle. we delved into the envelope for the first question:

What was the best christmas present you ever received, and so it began, an hour passed and the questioning was getting more intense:

have you ever stolen anything and were you caught (a few suprises there)
who was the first famous person you fancied - a strange collection including Jimmy Nail, Barbra windsor, cat stevens (that took twenty minutes to explain since he had changed his name/religion) Tom Jones and Dusty springfield.

The last question of the night (that I am admitting to) was.............

Have you ever been propositioned by a famous person, of course my claim to fame is Lemmy from Motorhead fame with his chat up line of "do you fancy coming back to my hotel, no funny business".... another colleague said Shane Ritchie, who said "come on girls lets go back to my room, you can sell a story on me" now tempting as both sounded we didnt have any grounds to sell stories the next morning and left with dignity if not a little curiousity as to how much the news of the world would have paid..................

Once outside manchester was covered is a thick layer of snow and that my friends is all I am prepared to say on the matter

The original circle of trust is long gone and was last seen being used as a beer mat in the slug and lettuce on Deansgate
