Blimey.Taken me a day to get over hangover.

Went to Zulu sundance xmas party at NEC with about 1800 other revellers.

Got to say,best xmas party I've been to for a good while.And didn't get in trouble for once (I think.lol)

I've kept to small group ones and 1-to-1 meals this Christmas with the co-professionals I know and can have some half-decent conversations with. Not agoraphobic or anything, I can throw myself among the strangest crowds without any fear and have a gala time, but cannot stand these annually organised big Christmas work parties with a load of people making drunken pillock of themselves, and having to sit next to the people for dining that I have nothing in common with, and pretending to be matey with them for that moment. So I've successfully avoided them.

Glad you enjoyed yours, Loz.

Whats an "office xmas party"...?

In layman terms, it's a Christmas works do, Felix.

Have you had your Police one yet? If so, how did it go? 🎉

Felix.

No, and never had one for years.

Cool. I suppose having the time off for Christmas dinner with beloved family is a bonus in your job. Much better than attending a meaningless work do with a bunch of drunk and unruly work colleagues.

I have become very selective about which Christmas functions I attend having been to more really bad ones than good ones. Lunch and a couple of drinks and a good laugh with those I got along with in places I have worked suits me better than a night out and getting totally mangled.

I worked for a company that really put a lot of effort into the xmas party

it was a big thing - and to be honest I do miss it

the whole company was there, from the post-boy to the CEO

for one night everyone was (sort of) equal

and we had some great ones

but now it is very different (for me) - in a lot of ways

I work from home most of the time, which in a lot of ways is fvcking fantastic, but it has its disadvantages

as in the EU nothing is perfect - but I do (sometimes) miss
the office atmosphere, the banter, the water cooler moments etc

I can go into an office, I could have gone to an office party - but it does not really feel the same

I think age is a factor tbh

but push comes to shove I would take my current working environment for an office xmas party any day
