Weddings of people I barely know.

Works Christmas do. Ordinarily I’d expect that once in a blue moon I might forget what a bad idea they are and opt in, but seeing as I’ve hopefully only got 4-8 more chances to make that mistake I’m pretty confident I will never again have to wear a cracker hat whilst eating a cold roast next to a colleague who I don’t know.

A non-compulsory breakfast seminar.

and a second vote for university alumnus events. Even I had loads of spare cash to give them I wouldn’t. Not unless they’d let me rename the college for it.

A gig happening in Norwich. Good line up, but it’s in Norwich.

I get invitations to Queen Mary University, London ones too. I did a three month course there that was essentially my employer paying them £5k to exempt me from a bunch of professional exams. 100% pass rate.

There was a graduation and everything. Didn’t go, obviously.
