My fucking head. :cantlook:

 

I stuck to the champagne in the office (bar a couple of punishment shots). Then, more champagne, then red wine, then white, then beer, then rum, then it all gets a bit hazy.

 

Thankfully no drama bar some arsehole bankers being obnoxious with one of the girls.

 

Got an uber home because why wouldn't you?

Bar crawl around town this year, should be eventful.

 

Many good opportunities to slope off unnoticed and go and hang out with your actual mates instead :good:

I must be the only one on here who doesn't work somewhere that does these work parties. If there's been a Christmas drink in the past it's just a few of the lads organised it themselves, (and paid for it themselves too). Can only think of one occasion where the company paid a tenner per head for the drink kitty. Then again, on a positive note, there's never been bran tub/secret Santa/Christmas cards shite either, so every cloud etc. ;)

Going to the Botanist with work this year. I find Christmas parties a bit of a nuisance since I'm the only member of management young enough to be considered capable of staying out long enough for everyone to be happy, which means I have to see the whole thing through, pretty much.

 

Also depends on who you get sat next to at dinner, some of the people I work with are very quiet and socially awkward, which is fine but a bit of a challenge if you're wanting to enjoy yourself.

I don't mind ours. They could drag me up to Nottingham where I'm technically on the payroll, but instead they're happy to fly me out to Berlin where they can save a hotel fare because I stay with one of my best mates who also works for the company. And I get a slice of Berlin out of it. Win-win. :D

 

They've not bothered inviting me this year. :lol:

I think the Blackburn thread will be on Rayvin's mind towards the end of the night and the suggestion of Champagne enemas will come up as a real possibility when they're down the Diamond strip.

 

:lol:

 

Have to admit I'm a little curious!

Oh you're management are you? La dee fucking da. Struggle with speaking to the worker bees you get seated beside? Why don't you sack it off and go for a posh enema instead? Fucking champagne socialist.

I struggle to speak with -some- of them. It's not the kind of business where being management means people are scared of you or anything so I get on with quite a few people, even outside of work - the problem is that I tend to get sat next to the socially awkward graduate who has just left uni and struggles to look up from their dinner plate.

"So, we booked that place in Nottingham city centre?"

 

"Yeah, 7.30 on the 15th......Shit! What about Martin?"

 

"Just put him on a plane to Berlin, he can crash with his mate."

 

"Err, we did that last year."

 

"Well just book an extra table in Nottingham for the 15th."

 

"Well, he's teetotal now, I'm not sure it'll be his cup of tea?"

 

"Alright, don't bother then, we'll just blame it on his invite getting lost in the Christmas post. Fuck'im."

Just shove a drink at him, tell him to 'get it doon your fucking neck, you big Jessie!' and I'm sure he'll come out of his shell. :good:
