Meh, you're not trying hard enough!
One memorable year, I went to the Irish Embassy in Budapest for their reception. Now this was divided into three sections - diplomatic core, business folk and finally ex-pats. Due to a great bit of blagging - my company was working with an Irish Bank at the same time - I got invited to ALL THREE RECEPTIONS. That meant I was there, with my boss, from about 1 until 7 or 8 when the call went out to relocate to Becketts [maysherestinpeaceandriseinglory]. Well once in Becketts the party got going again and before you could say "feck it, I'm feckin fecked and it's barely feckin evnin" the bands were on, the black stuff was flowing and boys were being boys [oft with the girls].
Looking back [hindsight is easy], when the third band finished and most people were leaving I should have gone home. But Decko, the genial host, insisted we stay for breakfast. Now the problem here was that there was no breakfast food in the kitchen. But that didn't matter as there wasn't a cook either. So the chef is summoned, with the order to pick up bacon and eggs for about 40 people on his way in. At 3 in the morning.
Things did not improve. Breakfast was served around five, with the mandatory whiskey. I can't be certain but I think the Guinness was running precariously low at this point. I made my excuses around 7:30, wandered unsteadily home for a quick shower and off to work around 8:30.
My boss had the audacity to complain that I wasn't in by 8.

Was he in himself? Then you could have complained that he hadn't tried hard enough either...

...but I was watching the first episode in the latest season with Bumblebee Clusterfuck yesterday... 
I don't know if it's just me, but I think that the series is becoming more and more odd. I mean: The first season was perfectly ok. The second season slightly more incomprehensible. But this season seems to be completely derailed (no pun intended if you've seen episode one).
And as I've mentioned before: Bramblepatch Cucumberbund is definitely the wrong person for the role 
Or maybe I'm just getting old...
