Seems more and more common now that contractors are not invited (employee perk and all that). Mind you on my last contract we were invited to a modest do, and the boss let us bill for the whole day despite starting on the shandies at 1pm. This year I have a feeling will be a washout, they are all very clean living hereThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Going to the Christmas party of a client where you're currently working on site is no fun at all. All week before the party they're talking about last year's party; all the time during the party they're getting hammered and moaning about work and sucking up to the bosses; and all the following week they're yakking about who did what at the party. Plus you have to be on best behaviour.
But going to any other client's party is OK. You just breeze in, catch up with your mates, generally make everybody jealous that you don't work there any more, and can really do what you like without having everybody obsess about it.Comment
