I've just given the ol' kilt a try on cos I have a feeling its gonna be making a guest appearance at the works night out in a couple of weeks.

Cos I worked for myself for four years, its aaaages since I have been to a proper works bash like this and I'm kinda looking forward to it, although I have a feeling its gonna be messy (I'm working at 8am the next day). When I worked in Safeway, we used to take over a hotel and trash the place - normally the management behaved worse than the younger folk and it would end in disaster. Sooo - I was wondering, anyone got any funny stories from either Christmas, or any other nights out with the rest of the work?

Whats everyone doing this year? The local Holiday Inn for some turkey, a quick disco and home in bed for 11?

Ashton Lane on Friday night.

That's the toff end/posh student end of Glasgow for those that don't know.

We're doing the traditional food then pub. We're also chucking work at 3 and playing games prior to dinner.

Disgraced myself in the Ubiquitous Chip once! Haha. Happy times.

We went to Telle's christmas party on Saturday night, at a posh hotel in the cotswolds. It was great actually - free bar all night with ice buckets of beer on the tables, magic performers going around... The only let down was a big young girl (18 years old and I'd say 18 stone easily) who got silly-drunk very quickly, hugging everyone and telling everyone she loved them, then blocking the toilet due to vomiting, then messing up 4 posh white chairs because she had shat herself and not noticed. I felt really sorry for her actually because she obviously wasn't that popular at work and was trying to force it by getting bladdered.

Got mine on the 19th. I think we're off to a hotel for a christmas style buffet and karaoke and then off to various bars around Brighton. I'm quite looking forward to mine which makes a nice change as I usually don't - mainly because the people going were probably people I would never choose to hang out with in a million years where as this time I quite like my colleagues.

[Yudster]

If its possible to be so drunk you can shit yourself without noticing, I have just this moment realised that I have never, truly been drunk. Thank goodness.

Me neither, but I doubt many have ever been that drunk. Perhaps she did realise, but her level of inebriation caused her to believe that if she just ignored it, nobody would notice?

Did she make a quiet exit once people did notice?

Well I actually think she loved the attention, she kept calling people over and hugging them. We eneded up calling her dad and he came and took her home. We 'borrowed' a towel from the hotel for her to sit on. Telle just rang me an hour ago and, although we thought we covered it up quite well, the entire building knows she shat herself which is a shame.

Must learn to not press the 'back button' when wanting to go back. Must press 'board index'. Apologies for double post.

I agree with Yuds, I'm glad I've never been that drunk. How awful.

[Boboff]

If its possible to be so drunk you can shit yourself without noticing,?

Yes it is.

No I haven't.

[Yudster]

Ha - its not just that I have never done it (I don't think I'm capable of drinking that much without falling asleep to be honest), I thought I'd pretty much seen every manifestation of Christmas Induced Drunkeness during my pub landlady days - but I don't think anyone ever shat themselves in my bar.

[Boboff]

Yeah I am the same, I not only have a sleep valve but a pre-sleep return to base mechanism. It is amazing that I can always find my way to bed, get undressed and go to sleep, even if on occasion I can't actually remember doing it.

As for this poor young lady I think she should get another job very soon, and get some friends who don't make her feel so bad about herself. A cry for help if ever I heard one, but probably one which isn't going to catch on in social networking circles.

Good job it's not being spoken about all over the world then! haha! We're going to just get bladdered in the pub on Thursday for our do. Got my Mrs do on Friday night so I must try not to make an arse of myself, especially as it's in a very plush hotel with free booze! Her colleagues wife made an idiot of herself last year by getting busted in the loos with dubious white powder! He nearly died of shame and they didn't talk for nearly 3 weeks.

Like Boboff I too have a mystical homing beacon, I just always seem to make it home somehow and I'm not too sure how...

[Nicola_Red]

Mine's on the 15th, but it's a meal which I'll miss cos I'm at work in the shed, er, snowslide box office til 9pm. By the time I've locked up, taken everything over to the ice rink to cash up, got changed and found them all, everyone else will be nicely merry no doubt. luckily I'm not a big drinker anyway...and yep, I'm working the following morning too!

[Munki Bhoy]

While I've had nights that have ended with missing periods of time and copious amounts of vomit upon my person, I have yet to experience an alcohol related fecal disaster in the undercrackers.

[MK Chris]

Work have cancelled all Christmas parties this year - one per depot - which I don't have a problem with because they basically cost the salary of one person and if it saves someone being made redundant, I'm all for it.

I'm at a suit and tie ball in my mum's village on Saturday.

[AndyJ]

I had our Maidstone office party last Friday, started at midday in West Malling and ended up in the center of Maidstone. I did have work the next day but my company paid for a hotel for me which was good of them...

On saturday and I have my Leatherhead Office on the 19th at Epson Race Course which I am really looking forward to.

Me either! Thank god!

Our Christmas party is on Saturday. Head Office pay for it and I have to be the hostess with the mostest. I will ensure everyone is having a great time, eat my dinner and then slope off quietly. No one wants to be drinking with the boss now do they?

Faecal.

[tom greeni]

Got my first work christmas party this year on the 19th, we're having it at works function room and then round town, which is going to be fun as i'm not sure i'll get in anywhere.

You're just being faecetious (sic) now.

[Andy B]

I'm not in Kent...I just spend a lot of time there. Far too many Chavs for my liking, I much prefer Staines.

Seaman?

[Yudster]

No, but the UK central office of Siemans used to be in Staines. I always felt sorry for the poor lass who had to answer the phone.
