One down, two avoided and one to go.
Anyone have any tales?
This year a rather conservative older lady that I used to work with got hammered by the time I arrived late for the meal.
She started groping me all night then promptly announced she was a lezza. Two married's also asked me for an affair this year, I've been in hiding ever since to be honest

Had the office lunch yesterday. My first experience of such an event, very good actually considering the average office is a load of people who only know each other cos they're in the same office, nice afternoon off drinking at the bosses house.

2002 - Got incredible pissed, wandered off into the rain and got pounced on by a hooker who "offered me a hand" - I got scared and ran away  That night I spent a good two minutes punching a hand dryer, cos it wasn't working before finally realising I had my wet hands under a paper towel dispenser  |

Bosses house Matt?
Bit of a leap of faith on his behalf, nearly every Christmas party I've been to degenerates into chaos.
I'll never forget a few years back a very cold senior technician being hammered, dancing with this real very hard career obsessed middle management woman in her late 30's.
He was a bit of a sad case in his late 40’s and a real stress head by the book sort of character who's only passion in life was the Ferrari F1 team. She barely spoke to anyone if it wasn’t in her interest or inserting her tongue into the directors bottoms. Both rarely interacted on anything other than a work level with anyone.
I turned around just to catch him gawping at her nawks, which if I remember rightly where quite impressive and pointing like spears out of this little blue top. He looks around to see if anyone’s watching and we gave him an approving nod and then with genuine mischief in his eye he looks down eyes bulging, proper sweat on board by this point, grabs both her nips and twists them like a mad man franticly trying to tune in some primeval old radio.

There's only a dozen of us in the team and everyone's pretty civilised, so lunch in Brinkworth followed by an afternoon of general banter was OK, I think the summer ball degenerated into chaos you'd expect at these sort of things. Pretty good day considering I'm only a temp too.

Christmas parties are unpaid work as far as im concerned. Ours are paid - we go on Friday at 12pm so we're still on working time and we receive a £30 rebate for going (leisure bonus!) Be more expensive not to go.... |

Its beneficial as it's team building or team bonding via different, cheaper means....
You're right - all companies should do it!

My Missus works for a decent company (expensive Italian sports cars) and she has two christmas partys , one is a dinner being held at a hotel. The other is a fun party in which there is a free bar, drinking games, nightclub stuff etc. Guess which one partners aren't invited to.
ARSE.

We wanna go somewhere else. We're not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We're in the clouds now. We're wide open. We're spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, man.

We have ours at Bowood House, but with over 200 staff members partners do not get invited.
We do get a free coach from work and back to your doorstep though, which is good, and free wine with the meal - the bar isn't free though.
