I see this every year & wonder what the criteria is as to who get's invited. Don't worry admins, i'm not on another Amigo rant & i promise my shoulder is chip free. I'm happier in a field than a hot eaterie followed by a hotel room where i can't do that horrible smoking thing so i'm not asking to attend. Is it the same gig that 3 or 4 years ago when Broocie still ran the Beastie he offered for me to doss down on a hotel room floor?
Either way i'm honestly not fishing but curious...read nosey & wonder if newer members are feeling a little confused or left out? Guy. 
Not a bit of it Guy! I'm a relative Newbie & i've attended the last two Crimbo bashes

Mind you....nobody knew me from Adam, so not much in the way of chitchat, but on both occassions i'm proud to say I was given the rare Honour of doing the washing up after everyone had retired to the Smoking Room after the meal and joy of joys, next morning last year, I was even made the Honorary Oof Pisspot emptying Intern Trainee!

At least that's what H21 said it meant when TB said to me, 'Oy You, I told you earlier, HOP IT!'
