    I was at my girlfriend's works do last week, and went to get a round. Nearly walked into some not bad 40 something year old woman, anyway, I said sorry and walked off to the bar.

    She grabbed my shoulder as I was walking off and said "no need ot be sorry, why don't you come and have a dance?"

    I told her I was there with my girlfreind to which she replied "I only asked you for a dance you f***ing c0ck!" and stormed off. Nice lady.

    If you want some easy cheap sex, check out student places on a week day.

    One of the great pleasures of being self-employed is NOT having to go to any more cringy office xmas parties.

    It wasn't so bad when I was a junior person; you just went out and built your reputation for being not quite as boring as everyone assumes.

    However, for several years, I was the boss at the Christmas do and that, frankly, is just excruciating. The organiser always parks you at a table furthest away from the fun, usually with the mousy nerdy ones to whom you have to be polite whilst shouting over the music. Eventually some drunken harridan staggers up and makes you dance, usually for a bet and always to the worst song of the night.

    Horrible!

    This year, I am having my own office party. Just me. I'll do my secret santa just for me and then I'll open it and drink it. I'll listen to Frank Zappa.

    Excellent. I'd ask for an invite but it seems you live too far away.

    sounds good.

    my works christmas meal was last night....

    it was actually quite nice considering the usual overpriced garbage found on plates at christmas meals!

    only 16 of us in the company, so 1 big table....nice wine...then on to a bar for a few drinks....

    work today is not so much fun though :(

    We are having our Xmas Office Party in January. It is for all the people who used to work in our office before the company shut it two years ago! No, senior management are not invited but the old manager turns up as he lost his place too.

    Another snapshot of this post-industrial and increasingly post-commercial Britain we all know so well.
