Just never appealed to me to go to any, though I did go out with friends I liked the company of at Christmas. Way preferable than sitting next to the drunk guy that no one can stand and trying to edge away from him without being rude. (My luck that would have been the boss!).

You were lucky, I was obliged to attend many - they were truly awful - like a fucking minefield dodging alcohol-fuelled blokes who suddenly got the balls to give you a piece of their mind, and frustrated smelly women wanting to have "fun".

Something about Xmas can bring out the worst in people as we have seen on the other thread from Firestarter and his pals.

Thankfully, its all behind me now.

Apparently, according to Fletch, one is supposed to lighten up and not be miserable.

It was nice knowing you all. X.

You need badge number, name and rank. get a picture of a Police officer in full uniform, and practice Your inebriated response. and don't forget to phone police hq to verify their identities. as for hospital, there have been a few occasions I should have gone but never did. so I do encourage hospital sometimes the slightest of things can seriously disrupt future endeavors. though to not walk off the field without a memento is just not cricket. have a Good one LM.

I survived, just. My feet are annoyed at me for wearing heels though.
Great night.

Nobody in our place would take on the role of organising ours so it was decided we'd just go to the pub after work. then yesterday people started dropping out of that because they're knackered & had too much to do. In the end we had sausage rolls, crisps in a bowl and a plastic cup of Procsecco in the staff room. I was home by 5pm.

We're generally a cheerful bunch but not today apparently!

What's yours been like?

At a corporate 'do' where Smith got the gig he was pretty much on automatic pilot when he picked on a member of the audience, pulled him onto the stage and asked him what he thought of the CEO - whose name Smith dutifully supplied.

This was pretty much standard fayre and it was usually understood that the audience member, from the front row which was full of high executives and corporate Yes-men, would know to say something along the lines of 'great bloke, inspirational, happy to work for him yada yada.' Unfortunately the person Smith picked on had consumed one too many and answered
"He's a C**t"

Ten minutes later the same man was sat on the stairs of the stage having just been dismissed on the spot for gross misconduct - and because the Christmas party entertainment was being recorded for an in house VHS - that's how long ago it was - the poor sucker really had absolutely no defence.

The moral - If you're at the works Christmas party you're still at work
