Christmas is fast approaching and M must spend her budget, otherwise she won't get the same amount next year.

Her portly colleague Tanner ventures to suggest that a good way of getting rid of some wonga would be to splash out on a party or day trip for the Double-Os.

M: But, Tanner, when the PM was lecturing me about party funds I don't think this is quite what he had in mind.

TANNER: Yeah but no but yeah but.... if we, let's say, send 'em paintballing, we'll be subjecting 'em to a session of shooting practice and teambuilding.... *drumroll* ...without their even knowing it! Two birds with one stone kinda thing, like.

M: I like it. You're a lot better than Villiers, you know.

TANNER: In all sorts of ways.

M: Still, I don't much care for the idea of "paintballing". And neither will Bond - he's allergic to paint. So, then, what do you think we should organise? An excursion of some kind, or just a meal somewhere?

TANNER: It's up to you, dearie. I've no doubt that you'll pick something suitably horrendous.

M: Tell you what, let's leave it up to the good people of CBn, why don't we?

TANNER: Sounds like a plan.

So, then, your ideas, please, for the Double-O Section Christmas wangdang. The funniest to be announced next Wednesday.

GO!

The Holiday World Is Not Enough

With visions of Santa Claus, snowball fights, and sugarplum faeries dancing on roller coasters in their heads, M and the double-0 section were crushed to find upon arrival in exotic Indiana, that despite its name, Holiday World is not open during the Holidays!

M decided to take the Doubles-O Section to Arthur Treacher's, America's cultural contribution to fine British cuisine.

M takes the 00's to 'Al's Qaida Bar and Grill' somewhere between Peshawar and Jalalabad.

The food is... Let's call it frugal.

The drinks aren't really worth writing home about and the last time a female guest was seen there is... a looong way back and let's better not talk about the service. Or the toiletts. Or the waiter. Or...

But the place has a nice cozy atmosphere, perfectly fitting for the holidays.

An Invite - "Who's got Thunderballs then?" - 00 Staff Night

M originally wanted a trip to Rio but had to do with a cheap video of a tequila factory tour, two bottles to share between them and the bet that the first one to remove her knickers (without her feeling a thing and under .05 seconds - a 00 speciality :) ) then place atop the Vauxhall building, gets the day off tomorrow.

(Craig's 00 is already ahead as he has her bra off, such an overachiever :( ) :)

Tanner acquires all-access behind-the-scenes passes to a day of shooting the new blockbuster THE BOURNE NON-SEQUITUR. After six too many Martini Vepsers, someone shouts out "Hey, we can do that!" ...

Best day out for all the 00's.
Cow shooting - with Rocket launchers :(
"if u went to the shooting range, not only cud u pick from 100 different sorts of guns but u also got the opportunity to shoot a cow with a B-40 (rocket launcher)..."

I am sure Q branch will get some nifty gadget out by the party for some more interesting ways to kill cows...

Target practice and you dont need to use some lame paintballs. Maybe they can have a competition between the 00's and NRA.

Maybe this video will look better with some nifty editing QOS style

Okay, somewhat belatedly, I'm ready to announce my verdicts.

Some wonderful entries, and very tough to pick the best, but here goes:

HONOURABLE MENTION: Aris007. Yeah, it's a rather obvious gag. But very funny.

THIRD PLACE: dogmanstar. Love that photo.

SECOND PLACE: Joey Bond. Simple, but hilarious and somehow true.

FIRST PLACE: danslittlefinger. Laughed out loud at "the bet that the first one to remove her knickers (without her feeling a thing and under .05 seconds - a 00 speciality ) then place atop the Vauxhall building, gets the day off tomorrow". Very good.

So, danslittlefinger, congratulations and thanks for the chuckles. Why not start your own CBn Forums Games thread - maybe something related to New Year? :(

Well I'm gobsmacked, nay, hallucinating at this win. :)

Hmm, the Finger who came in from the cold :(


I will start a New Years thread soon so watch this space. :)
