Just be thankful you donât have to go to the Channel Islands too often. No direct flights from Dublin outside of peak tourist season. Makes day trips impossible and means getting just a few hours face time will cost you at least a day and a half.
Youâre better than this Brian.
Left my suit hanging up in its suit bag in my office, guys. Sitting here at tonightâs dinner dressed in smart casual (jeans and smashing shirt) but I canât enjoy it.
Iâll have to buy a suit or even just a suit trousers first thing in the morning. The lady at hotel reception has provided wonderful assistance in detailing my shopping options.
My secretary should have noticed the suit bag. Fucking cunt.
Just a suit pants?? Are you working in a bookies or something?

FFS.
Get your ass down to Jermyn street and get a proper fitting suit, shirt and shoes. Your either a high flying exec or your not.
Torch that River Island 3 piece when you get home.
This is an emergency. Iâll get away with it as Iâll have shirt, tie and smart business coat. I need support now rather than Fagan ODowd style jibes, dan.
Hope it all works out well for you, pal. I have no doubt that it will
This thread has taken a bad turn for our International traveler. Be strong Bandage.
You havenât lived as international businessman without such incidents occurring, pal. Whether itâs an emergency shirt or tie purchase at an airport shop to something all together more serious like this. These are things to tell the grandchildren about. Back to network now.
Some helpful advice for you Bando. Get a taxi in the morning to Fenchurch St. There are any number of Lewins Austin Reeds Tyrwhitts and Roderick Charles shops in and around Leadenhall market where youâll get a good suit that wonât break the bank.
Schoolboy error. This reminds me of the time I was heading to Berlin and forgot that the temperature would be about 10 degrees less than in Ireland. I was forced to buy a jacket at the airport to try and keep myself warm during my visit. I donât think I have worn that jacket since then
Fagan, youâre such a gent behind your sometimes gruff exterior.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
One day into the âinternational business travel threadâ Bandage is found out as a complete spoofer.
smashing story.
It really is an anecdote Peter Ustinov would be proud of. Fran has no doubt dined out on that one ever since.
No worries mate. Once you realised the hotel was in the middle of a slum, leaving the suit behind you was a very smart move. Fair play to you.

I never claimed it was straightforward on the front line, Scrunchie. But the likes of Fagan ODowd have my back and Iâll be eternally grateful for that.

Callan were a shambles last year. I hope theyâve pulled up their socks a bit this year.[/quote]
You and me both chief, you and me both
In a related story I arrived to work on Monday with ÂŁ6 in my pocket. Iâve not withdrawn a single penny or touched one of my own cards but yet Iâve eaten and drank all week and will return home with the princely sum of ÂŁ2 in my pocket. God bless multinationals

A ridiculous amount of free lunches passing my mouth of late too.
