Oh god, the work Christmas party is coming up.

[Ozwin]

Anyone elses having theirs soon or had it already? Not a fan of them at all, especially as I don't have much in common with anyone there.

Ah well, free bar will be my friend

[lildave3]

Had ours last week, at the Walkers. Bit dull, had soup poured down me to start off with by some goon but it got better as the night went on...

[Ozwin]

Walkers eh? Ours was gonna be there but no one paid the £50 so we're off to some budget place now i think.

[MC Prussian]

Had mine yesterday... and...

Oh, my lord head...

Surprised I made it back to my place in one piece and didn't get lost.

[FoxyPV]

Mine's tonight but our players' do for football is on so I'm going there instead. :thumbsup:

[jonthefox]

I dont mind them.

I called my gaffer a stupid cockney bastard last year and got away with it

Was that because he was from Scotland!

Years ago,before i let my body go,i used to work for a bank and had just been promoted to branch manager.We had an area bash,with about 8 branches and my old and new branches were there.In one evening i managed to strip to my pants on the dancefloor,cop off with a not so attractive women from the new branch and throw food at the area manager(who gave me the job)Going to work on the monday was not something i was looking forward to.

[Fosse Boy]

Had ours Tuesday. I rocked up around 8 and everyone was already half cut. Open bar got destroyed within about half an hour. Last thing I remember was shouting various 90s Southampton players at a Saints fan I work with.

[ACF]

I've got mine on Monday, but its at a restaurant, so nobodys gunna get steaming ):

[purpleronnie]

Got mine tonight, we're all going out in.......Coventry.

Oh dear!

[Bellend Sebastian]

At both my permanent places of work I've politely declined the invitation to the Christmas function, and on both occasions was told in no uncertain terms by management that I was going and that was the end of it.

Charming

[Zingari]

Fair's fair though , you have been paid to be the Stripping Santa

[Bellend Sebastian]

I was voted sexiest employee at an informal works Christmas do once.

I know it's hard to believe, but that actually happened

i was too on at least 3 occasions ,

but then i'm self employed

[Bellend Sebastian]

You owe it to yourself, that's fine

[Zingari]

i played a straight bat every year

my grey austin maestro van won first prize every other year until she retired in 2008

I'm self employed too but I've never even made it into the top 3.

[Zingari]

I'm self employed too but I've never even made it into the top 3.

a nice clean set o' brushes , a fluffy roller and a shiny aluminium set of ladders are damned hard act to to beat though

no one would complain about not being more desirous than that

please don't tell me you were beaten by a blow torch though !!

Ex BT perchance?

I think you can probably get thrown off a forum for talking about Maestro vans. But it's worth the risk

yes, and they'd left a pair of side cutters and half a roll of 6 core telephone cable under the seat that i didn't tell them about

Nice. You could have done some brilliant rogue trading

[Manwell Pablo]

Work one is next week, shouldn't actually be too bad I changed posts in mid October and now the people I work with are actually fairly reasonable, and at least 3 of the birds are reasonable attractive, which is wrong I never get to work with decent looking birds.

It's the Ashby Lamb bonanza tonight and that never ends well. Something normally gets broken.

[Bellend Sebastian]

I do remember the good old days when our Christmas do was a black tie affair, so by the time you'd spent £70 hiring a dinner suit, and a taxi there and back to some ridiculous hotel in the middle of nowhere, this grand gesture on the part of the company had cost you over a ton.

It wouldn't have mattered if it was good, but it was absolutely shite. I left one once on the verge of suicide

[Tilley]

57 of us going for a meal next Friday night, not really looking forward to it.

Just going to eat, have a few drinks then me and the colleagues I class as friends will end up in a club somewhere.

[Ozwin]

Ours is a meal and open bar for the night with a disco I think. Havn't been there that long so don't really know everyone that well yet, should reveal some interesting stuff I think, and vice versa for me.
