Shaken not Stirred

December 17, 2009

It’s Christmas Party season and last Saturday saw one of the social calendar events of the year – the Accident Advice Helpline (AAH) Christmas Party.  This year’s event was held at Camden’s Holiday Inn, precariously situated alongside Regents Canal.

With lifeboats to hand and teams of lawyers based in Camden’s AAH offices, cynics might wonder whether AAH purposely host their parties in ‘dangerous locations’ in order to drum up business.

Whilst all of us at Attinger Jack don’t buy into such cynicism, the event’s James Bond theme had guns and starting pistols pointed at everyone.  As Alex said, ‘it only takes one to be loaded and there’ll be more business for AAH than they’ve seen in a year’.

As it happens the event passed of peacefully with Adam and Alex joining in with the James Bond fancy dress theme although Alex’s Beretta starting pistol did raise more than a few eyebrows as he fired it at AAH owners, Darren and Laurence, from a distance of two feet.  We’re expecting a lawyer’s letter any day now….
