Long service.

[TheBitch]

I've got £400 to spend because I've been 20 years man and boy at work, I know, I know, I'm an incredible human being, but enough of the plaudits. I think I'll get a coffee maker, so recommend me one please GF.

 

I've searched other threads but they're old and I'm assuming new models are now available.

 

Alternatively tell me what else I can buy for £400.

[VladimirIlyich]

Your work has given you £400? Isn't that called 'wages?'

[Elite]

The De'Longhi ones are decent but i'd spend on 800 tubs of Smart Price coffee from Netto.

[lifetime fan]

Don’t drink shite coffee. 

 

Hope that helps. 

[lifetime fan]

I’ll PM you advice on how to ‘invest’ it wisely. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Don't give it to Mook as he'll just shove it up his arse.

I need to spend £400 get some VAT receipts and then put £400 in next months wages.

At the risk of temporarily hijacking the thread. Talk of long service gifts has reminded me of an awesome family photo I’d never seen til May. A family friend tracked it down online and had it printed off for my Dad’s sister.

 

My Granda was head foreman at Middle Docks in South Shields, and that’s him on the left presenting his older brother with an electric blanket for 51 years service. A fucking electric blanket for half a century!

 

Look at the delighted faces on all his lads. Different world. I swear a couple of them are in that famous photo of Bob taking the league title and big ears back to Hetton-le-hole.

Different world is right.

As for the question. Buy an Aeropress and spunk the rest on a flight somewhere.

 

Make the fuckers accessories to a great holiday as compensation for the privilege of you working there.

[Strontium]

Stuff the coffee maker and just get a kettle. I understand Hinari make excellent appliances.

That pic of your grandad is fucking ace.

 

Can't spend on clothes, food, fuel or put to a holiday. Fuck knows why. 

 

Maybe I could get an electric blanket?

Alcohol then.

Or I can get you a skip? 

[Oh Buoy]

Pass it over to Rico to fund his scientology membership.

Best present I’ve received in a very long time is a cold press coffee maker, basically a flask with a container that fits inside. Costs about £40 and make lovely, smooth cold coffee. 

 

Then crudely forge the receipt to say £400 and spend the balance on coke and hookers. You’ll get an afternoons worth if the who-ers are flexible on price as it’s down time, try a Tuesday perhaps as I assume, not being of that particular parish, it is a fallow period. You don’t want the kinda coke that makes your head numb, that’ll cost a bomb and you’ll end up tossing off in front of a mirror whilst your ladies steal things from your house, get the cut stuff that makes you want to start a podcast with Steve from accounts about ‘all the interesting shit you both know’. Do this with the knowledge that your bosses boss has been doing this for neigh on twenty years because of your awesomeness and labour, the cunt.  

 

Drink the cold coffee in the morning and smile.

I've been in our place for 25 years and I never got so much as a kick up the arse.

[Elite]

Can you not get a list of things you can buy?

 

 

 

[Section_31]

You can buy two pints at the Crowne Plaza.

Videoing on my phone doesn’t do it justice. The flashing as it changes from one colour to another looks all crappy when you play it back. It’s the absolute dogs bollocks though. I keep catching my missus taking admiring glances at it and she’s been sending videos to her mates. Boss.

That actually looks pretty cool. Be no use for my living room though as my TVs in front of my window.

800 goes on Tony's ma.
