Normally full of āimportantā people stuck up their own arses - obviously you excepted @Bucks 
I go there quite often for ābusiness meetings ā with suppliers (read as excuse for free food and booze)ā.
Very handy for The Drain back to Waterloo though 
Edit - Our COO thinks itās a fantastic place for networking. I donāt think heās brought an ounce of business into the firm from it. It costs enough to be a member, so money well spent thenā¦. 
On my way home. Spot on about the journey to Waterloo, took me just over 7 minutes from the 6th floor of the NED to the platform
What is an NED?
Hotel and restaurant and bar complex, near Bank in the City.
The Ned London
020 3828 2000
Used to be Barclays Bank - totally refurbished as a hotel/ bar / meeting place. Spent a fortune doing it up ( keeping original features like the bank vault) and a load of marketing to recoup the investment- seems they got the roll of the dice.
Happy to go there when someone else is paying. Overpriced pile of wank for anyone who has no idea about what client relationship building is actually all about.
Edit: I say Barclays - it could have been one of the identikit banks.
Lol
Tbh there is only 1 Corporate event
Oktoberfest
Which I have done 5 times in Corporate
Tbh it beats Corporate at s World cup final (Rugby or Cricket)
Have done corporate Oktoberfest plenty and have got absolutely no business from it - had a blast mind you, but always followed by catching up with Peeps on long wending way home up in Pfalz
There were business opportunities at Oktoberfest?
Well, if you get invited by suppliers thenā¦.
Nah, have known most of them for years, and outside of work, so more a lads jollyā¦.
Precisely
Get into the spirit, you miserable cunt. 
Isnāt that banned?
Or just cancelled?

The Sparrow walked on tbe bonnet and did not clean the screen?
Fucking Iām a Celebrity is back, which means the ayatollah will insist that itās on every night for the next three weeks
The Celebrity pool of ātalentā must be drying up because they have wheeled out some you tuber who is absolutely shocking - its a hell of an achievement when you can unite the country behind Farage, even Farage couldnāt do that.
The company decided that Supervisers / Managers have to sign of on there direct employees expenses not understanding there are 2 bosses per employee as we work Back to Back . But the system only allows 1 person to authorise which you can only do if you are onboard. So if your employee is onboard and you are on leave his expenses will have to wait. The employees are not happy.
