ConocoPhillips BBQ
England By: Carmen on Jul 22, 2004

Last Thursday, the sun stayed out long enough for us to have a work BBQ in the park just down the road. I do say the sun stayed out long enough because it was raining half an hour before the BBQ started.

Basically the BBQ involved standing around drinking wine out of plastic Starbucks cups (that hold twice as much as a wine glass, and Sabrina insisted on them being full), eating burnt patties, and once the patties had gone down and the wine had kicked in, the sumo wrestling and horizontal bungee started.

My big boss, Wes, decided that my boss, Katy, and I should give sumo wrestling a go. We get on pretty well, and so figured - why not? (as you do after a few glasses of wine). Everyone else spent the entire time laughing at us, but not as much as we were laughing at ourselves. It's funny how hard it is to get up off the floor in these huge suits. In the end we called it quits and still have no idea who won (cos we were giggling too much to figure it out).
