    So is your agent having a contract Xmas Do this Year?

    Clues in the title really. Is your pimp inviting you to a Xmas Do in the time honoured tradition of previous Crimbo's or has the crunchy credit curtailed a free evening in a bar with nibbles and a DJ?

    In my 6 years of contracting only ever had 1 'drinks with agent' do.

    Tight gits.

    Still, I have not signed my contract 4 months in to this gig due to a 'where is my clause of substitution' argument so they will not be offering this year I fear.

      Yes - and I've been invited to a couple from previous pimps as well.

        Oh well, you've accepted it now so you may as well sign it anyway.

          Pimp is flying out next week to take me and the wife to dinner. He also wants a meeting with the team lead so it is not all pleasure for him.

            Yes - and I've been barred from a couple from previous pimps as well.

              it sounds like you are fun to be around when you get an opportunity to drink

                It sounds like you failed to read post 3 in this thread and therefore missed the humour in my post.

                    He is- just a little over-vigorous with the tongue!
