    They hinted that "senior" staff usually like it monthly and "junior" like it weekly - stuff that...I'll have it whenever it's going.

    The Chinese buffet place is surprisingly tasty....but you do want a nap afterwards!

    I could always sneak you into my canteen for cheapish treats :D Heavily subsidised Starbucks is one of the few perks!

    Sounds good for Chinese. After work or during the day?

    Up to you. I can do either. Just let me know a day that suits!

    If you're still wanting the golfy item I bought on impulse then you might want to do it after work - if you run me home I can give you the golf game. It's flipping huge and would be hard to get home on the bus/train!
