had ours last night, was survivable but boy th age difference showed.
Not so much with the drinking as Im a fully qualified light weight but the music selection! oh and the dancing oh god the dancing! In the bars where I felt comfortable the others all sat silent as lambs then we moved on to the meal and show (meal was quite good - bi-bi's leeds) following the meal was 60 of the most uncomfortable minutes of my life. Senior staff dancing away to a motown band, (decent enough music some old and new) the worst of the dancing came when the CO started dipping like a pole dancer against his chair. I didnt know if to laugh cry or chuck up... so i got the feck outa there. hehee some sore looking heads around the office this morning. |

My work had a Christmas party for us management on the 4th December. They hired out an entire Devere venue down south somewhere for 200+ people which would have cost a fair bit.
Couldn't go unfortunately ![]()

2 xmas parties, the 'Staff Party' (waited on by management) with food, unlimited free beer/wine anf a 'Management Party' which follows a conference wuich is also food with unlimited free beer/wine (you want spirits at either then you pay...lots....)
I however (unlike a lot od folk on this forum it seems) do get on with my work mates (or colleagues or co workers or whatever is the politically correct tag these days) ad will happily go out on the P155 with them anytime, especialy at xmas!. Good thing is that its free, bad thing is that this year one or two decided to have a bit too much to drink, this may mean next year it will just be a management party and no staff doo, hundreds suffer for the actions of two! |

ROFL! So you were at both parties, I therefore assume your management... You might think you get along with all your work mates but I'd wager they're happy an smiley when your around but when your not your one of the OTHER guys, not one of THE GUYS. its simple office politics, david brent syndrome I think they call it now. |

Had our do last night in Birmingham. OMG my head hurts.
Free beer, Free food, very sore from falling over 4 times in the snow when I left. Of course it was completely due to the slippery pavements and nothing to do with me having had a skin full. |

My boss booked a table at an Indian with 2 simple instructions. Eat what you want and drink what you like, the company is paying for it. He also sorted out some rooms at a Premier Inn for a few of us. In my job it's rare to meet the other workers so it was a good laugh.
