Some of those poll options were tongue-in-cheek so you can make what you want of them.

Of course I don’t drink on the job. And all that. But you know that. You just want a reaction.

I work and I work and I work, Michael. Whatever I do off-site doesn’t concern anyone other than me.

tongue-in-cheek is fine but when you talk about drugs and drinking all the time can you see how members might get yhe impression that is what you do also I don't think you should be joking about these topics when there are younger people on the forum

What someone does in their own time is nothing to do with an employer as long as it doesn't impact on their work or happen in work. Problems may arise if laws are broken and criminal charges are brought as that could impact on their ability to undertake their role.

It's always been more a timespan thing for me. When I drink at all these days it's usually daytime (starting with lunch) but then I'm home by 6. If I was to go on a night out, I wouldn't start before about 7pm. I generally haven't had alcohol on Christmas because of having young kids.

I remember the Capital Radio days when we were made to go out on huge booozy lunches 3 x a week. We would get back at 3.30 and by 4 in the The Hot Rockin Tower at Euston, we were sobering up. My manc mate Benji and I had 2 bottles of of wine in the bog cistern and would take turns to recharge till we got the shine be on again. By 6 we were in the boozer and the pain was gone.

Not interested, like. This thread isn’t the place so I’m putting a cap on this nonsense on my side now.
Ah well whatever.. in general there was nothing to suggest you only wanted lighthearted responses. I didn't notice my bad , my opinion is the same however.

I don’t think you should be making sexual jibs at females on here who aren’t interested in you at any costs (not least because there might be some younger kids knocking around) but whatever. You’re going to have to troll harder.
