I know I'm really p*ssed when I start doing shots. Mostly happened in Brighton when I was at union conferences. 3am doing shots in a bar called Mollys. Best networking to be had! Vaguely remember being deep in conversation with the Deputy General Secretary about football. He was a Blackpool fan so we had Alan Ball in common. Also never missed or was late for a session at conference and even moved a motion about equality one morning, five minute speech in front of about 3000 delegates, the whole time wondering if I could get to the end without puking on the rostrum. That's recent past too - last conference pre-COVID. ? ?

God anj that takes me back.

My dad was a full time official and pretty high up in UCATT . Knowing my politics he was desperate for me to follow in his footsteps and wanted me to take an apprenticeship so that I could join the Union and then immediately take up a place he had arranged at Ruskin College.

He was crestfallen when I told him that I wanted to go into law even though I only ever wanted to work in a legal aid practice.

Yes he went on plenty of boozy conferences!

I used to go to conferences with delegates from lots of different countries. The ones that were most likely to be the last to leave the bar were the Irish, all the Scandies (mainly because booze was so expensive in their homeland), Aussies, Kiwis and Poles.

And me.

One of my friends, also a union rep, is an absolute F1 nut. she went to Spa one year for the Belgian Grand prix. she was a fairly hard core drinker but said that she had never seen anybody drink like the Finnish fans.

Aww I love UCATT reps. Proper old school! I knew a few of them from up here from the Northern Regional TUC. Only superseded in my affections by the RMT.

Hey friends. What’s your lucky numbers from 1-69. I’m going to play the lottery tonight and I thought it would be fun to buy a few bills with everyone’s lucky number so if you have one then post it here for me before 12 am your time. If we win then we can all meet for Holidays in 2022, wouldn’t that be great ?

06, 14, 31, 32, 33, 39 63, 66.
Take your pick
