For full features; Go to Office Christmas Party time!
So, anyone attending the annual "Do" that usually involves lots of drinks
and an over-prices meal this year? We have ours tomorrow night (well, today
for me now actually, lol) in Wimbledon, South West London. Now on the
surface it should be better than lats year's, as posted here
(http://www.car-forums.com/talk/showthread.php?t=25620&highlight=Office+chr
istmas+party)...But I'm not too sure as the food seems pricey and the
drinks will more than likely follow suit. Having said that, given that I've
been in this job a while now I have paid plenty in to the Lottery syndicate
and as such some of the winnings throughout the year are mine, which in
turn means I have to pay very little for the meal itself (it's being paid
for out of the kitty).
Anyway, I'm going to be meeting with a couple of the lads and getting a
few (slightly cheaper) drinks in at a well known bar/pub chain before hand
as I am expecting things to be costly otherwise, lol. I'll be taking the
camera so I'll share any pics I find worthy either here or in the "Members'
Pics" thread...Rest assured I won't "merge" anything, lol.

you have to pay for your work xmas party?!?! tough times.
windsonian
Yeah....The boss can usually stretch to maybe a pint of water
each....That's about it though, lol. I remember the good days of the "all
expenses paid" Xmas party...that was years ago and until last year I hadn't
attended one sinse...tough times indeed. :ohcrap:
Cliffy
No office Christmas party here...Have fun at yours, though. :thumbs:
What food is being offered? Unless it's either stake or for a fund raiser,
that's pretty gay...Although I guess the money would have to come from
somewhere--like your wages, so it's not really too bad.

It's a Tappas bar apparently so it'll be kind of Spanish/Mexican type food
I guess? (I think that's what Tappas is, lol). Not what I'd choose
personally, but I'm willing to try anything once....Well, almost
anything...:laughing:
Cliffy
Ok, here are a few pics I took of our little gathering the other night! My
appologies if these appear a little on the big side, as the usual size my
pics display at using Photobucket seems to have increased....They're ok on
my monitor...Just, lol. Or maybe it's just me that cares....
Me and my colleague, David.

Couple more for the road....
We staggered off to Wimbledon train station as the evening closed...Bit
like a busmans holiday for us, lol.

lol.

How late did it go? Looks like you guys were drunk right from the beginning
lol.
BTW Pics are a good size.
chris_knows
It didn't go on that late, but we started off in another bar because we
predicted that the drinks would be expensive in the place where we booked
to eat at, lol. We started out at around 1700hrs and finished at around
2330hrs. Not all of us started that early though, just a select few, and
I'm sure some people stayed much later, I had to get a train home though
and if I missed one I have over an hout till the next....
EDIT: Forget my appologies for the sizes....I have rigerously resized them
all, lol....I screwed up the one at the top of the last post slightly
though, and can't re-re-size it...Nevermind! :laughing:
Cliffy
whoah! Nice Pics... :smoke:

It was great party at all. But drinking is dangerous to health.
aarathi
So is advertising.....:banghead:
Cliffy
What? Are you saying it wasn't a great party or it was a great party after
all? Drinking CAN be dangerous, but if you know your limits, it's perfectly
safe. Also, small amounts of certain alcohols can actually be good for the
body.
