Then let's hear the goss, whether it happened to you or your colleagues (God I hate that word!). Personally I can't stand work do's and am desperately trying to get out of mine.

NO COMMENT

And we've got another on friday night.....

Hey, snubby - go here...

Thanks SIN. I'm just not paying attention am I?

Got mine today. Thai meal at 12.30 followed by the hell of all day drinking. Report to follow.

Well I managed to get out of mine last week due to touring commitments with Rhombus

Us civil servants have to PAY for our Xmas do's (I kid you not!) as apparently 'those who shall be obeyed' said we can't be seen spending public money enjoying ourselves.

Nice one. Assuming you were drunk, there are few things worse than the drunken walk home on your own.

Department do with ChEx and the haridan that is our Assistant ChEx is tonight, as you can see I am not there. Monday 3pm is department quiz, bun fight and drink sesh (only serious drinkers need apply) I will attend that.

Yup,us too
We all went out for a meal and did Bran Tub presents,then went back and did not a lot all afternoon.So sadly no scurrilous goss to tell anyone.

Having spent most of my working life in charities/ public bodies, I'm now working for an unashamedly capitalist self-made millionaire company. And they now how to throw a party and pay for it to boot. The resident bastard got his long-service award and as his department cheered/ booed, he grabbed the microphone and shouted SHUT THE f**k UP. Made me feel quite at home. Shame it's an hour's drive each way, or I could see myself getting one of those.

I didn't get out of mine unfortunately, couldn't find someone to go in my place. The food was very nice, but drunk academics are a sight to behold. I didn't drink - not after an 'unfortunate incident' last year

Shut the **** up will be my phrase for next year.

Well apart from the vast amount of cash spent mine passed without too much incident. It's always fun watching the young usually reserved members of staff getting paraletic.
Oh well, only 3 more days to go.

Since friday, I'm known here as "the extremely drunk one"

(until friday, I was the extremely boring one

Office Party passed without incident, nice purvey, good quiz, ChEx speech was of the Vic Reeves Big Night Out type (baffled 90% of the dept.) and I drank all the red wine, hic.

How old does Charlie Harper look now? He was positively fossilised back in the 70's...ah the heady days of Retford Porterhouse
