Works Xmas Party!
Discussion
My works doo, was last friday and i got absolutley bladdered. I remember some bits, but apparently I was being very friendly with hte Headmaster - I cannot remember this, but a couple have said this to me! I kept a very low profile on Monday morning, but then they did say they looked as good as i did when they were drunk then they would be happy - apparently i was all giggly and girly and sweet- I'm not so sure!

We no longer have a works party. However, when we did, someone always got super pi55ed and ended up blowing chunks everywhere during the meal.
A few years ago when my wife and I were courting (do people still use that word?) we booked a room at The Melton Grange for a night of lurve after the works party. Unfortunately, I hoovered up too much free red wine, spewed my guts up in the bathroom attached to our room and missed the breakfast.

Had mine on friday and was the first time I had been out with collegues after work for a long time (working in a different city to were I live doesn't help), wanted to keep a good impression and reputation.
Failed horribly, have vauge hazy memories of getting on the train back home and getting the taxi, many thanks go out to the beer compass and scooter as next stop on train was newcastle and an expensive taxi home.
was off work on monday, for other reasons, hockey related and now reputation is tarnished and everyone thinks my hangover lasted all weekend, much p1ss taking and people looking down on me.
Next year I will not be mixing my drinks

Approx 5 years ago, the Chief Exec' of a firm I worked at was a member of a v.posh golf club that didn't hold public functions, only private members' only do's.
Having been an esteemed member for some time, the Chief Exec' asked nicely if the Committee would ocnsider making an exception for his firm for the coming Xmas.
The Committee obviously thought to themselves "what harm can a party of solicitors do?" and agreed. Whoops!
The staff from 2 offices attended and one member ended up getting into a fight with another from the other office. It escalated into a full scale ruck, tables overturned, Police called, the lot.
On returning to work, there was an email from above sent to each and every member of staff pretty much saying "F*ck you all, from now on there is no Christmas."
They've not had an official Xmas do or contributed to any dept ones since.

not married is he? 
I had my works doo last week. I employ about 65 people, including about half a dozen friends and relatives, who I've worked with for some time. I spent 10 minutes giving a speech saying that "we're all one family", "there's no them and us", "everybody is equal", etc..
Anyway, we then did a raffle with 6 prizes, slowly icreasing in value from a bottle of champagne upwards. However, I'd rigged the raffle so that only my family and personal friends would win anything - the prizes ranged from the champagne up to a £300 Halfords voucher and AA membership (which I won!) Finally, I announced the 'top' prize which was a 'genuine' (random) raffle prize. One of the ladies, with the winning ticket, ran to the front in expectancy and I presented her with a £2 box of chocolates.
The joke had the potential to back-fire, but everyone thought it was hilarious!

We had our company birthday party last night, that's why I'm sitting on my sofa re-aquainting myself with Pink Floyd, coffee and bacon sandwiches.
Several people are still unaccounted for, but one guy was showing everyone his pierced todger in a crowded city bar(again) and just heard from another chap who ended up singing in the toilets with a major industry journalist and a mystery banjo player, he then proceeded to fall on his arse in front of 200 party guests!
The Christmas party is tonight!
