The last good one I went to we set the tables decorations on fire then had a food fight with the next table. Later that night my g/f gave me a BJ in the hotel lobby. Halcion days

The last party I went to saw the main consultant coming 'out of the closet' after a bottle of wine. All very well till he started to massage the shoulders of the young guy sitting next to me.
cringing all round

Same here! The only one I went to was years ago, a cringeworthy 'Company Christmas Lunch' at a local hotel. Crunch point for me came when everyone was seated in the restaurant, and the 'compere' (i.e. permie twat with a microphone) declared that everyone should look under their chairs to find the piece of paper taped to the underside. On it was written one of my items from Twelve Days of Christmas, which each of us would have to stand up and SING, at the appropriate time in the song. I picked up my bag and walked out at that point, muttering "**** that" not quite under my breath.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostI haven’t attended an office Christmas party since 1998, when I struggled to avoid drifting into a vegetative state during a speech by the MD of my employer at the time. I just can’t stand office parties, office dinners, team get togethers or any of that permie tripe. I don’t want to ever have to go to one of these pathetic attempts at a party, and in fact office parties are one of my top reasons to avoid going permie.

It happened that the boss's wife was listening and managed to get enough pieces of the jigsaw to work out it was her husband and then it all got very messy. They pulled the feature after that.
So, in a similar spirit, who would like to offer any confessions or good stories from Christmas do's past or present?
I sh@gged your mrs.
