Members DazBob Posted September 17, 2021 Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Before all our contracts were changed to WFH our offices were in Earby which is just past Colne. Most of my colleagues live over that way so Christmas Do's tend to be in that neck of the woods. No chance I'm forking out for a hotel just to go to it ... and there's fucking no way I'd drive over and not drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted September 17, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2021 Got hammered at one in Warwick, balloons up my shirt as fake breasts etc. The look of disgust from the Germans was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bloke had been there for two weeks came in and was promptly sacked and sent home for coming onto a girl.too strongly when she'd told him to fuck.off He had a pregnant wife at home. Bet that went down well. One bloke was done by the police for taking up skirt photos. Was carnage for a.few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I smashed a £1,700 table one year falling over on it, went over in front of everyone. The best was one girl was in the lift, it was at centrepoint the top floor so folk were going up and down smoking outside all night. Doors of the lift open and she spews all over the CEO's wife. One bloke woke up in the lavs, been in there all.night, cleaners woke him up. Media agencies are messy as fuck, or rather they used to be, younger folk are a little less liquid lunch and more about going to the gym.

Moderators Zico Posted September 17, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2021 back in 2001, had our works do at The Metropolitan in Didsbury John Thomson was a local, who was always in there getting drunk and twatty, around the time he was well known for Cold Feet and the press were going after him with stories about being a drunk twat and pushing his pregnant mrs down the stairs and stuff like that anyway come closing time there's me, my boss and another guy left in the pub and him and his mate chatting in the corner I want to meet him becuase he's Fat Bob, and my boss was a fan of Cold Feet so we go over and say hello he invites us to join him and at first is dead friendly and chatty but quite clearly leathered anyway, we're off, and my boss' parting words were "good luck mate and don't let those bastards at the press get you down", and then it went something like: "you what?" (starts to turn) "the press, bastartds" "what you on about" "well you know" "what are you saying?" "eh?" "who are you?" "no one" "WHO ARE YOU" "whats in your breifcase" (getting angry) "nothing" "open it" "no" "open it now" (visibily angry) "no" he starts to try and wrestle the breifcase off him, in the end, my boss said "ok, ok, I'll open it" fat bob then scatters the contents all over the place, then pulls out a phone charger - i.e. a plug on with a cable coming from it "i fucking knew it, you're press, you're recording this" and then he goes for us, but by now the staff have gathered and grab him and hold him back and he's there with a few staff holding him back, looking at us, frothing at the mouth with bulging eyes giving it "you're fucking dead etc" so we left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) I always thought Manchester was both uninterested and equally unwilling to grass or stitch-up their famous residents... It was an open secret John Thompson was holed up in The Hilton - a Quarter Howard Hughes, quarter Ollie Reed, quarter Linton Alan Partridge, quarter poundshop Tony Montana. As was the fact Craig Charles had taken residence at a smart expensive townhouse near Quay Street and turned it, almost overnight into a crackhouse cum Wino's den of unimaginable squalor... I always thought around these parts people were uninterested in these sordid tales, apart from in passing conversation.

green genie Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Can't find anywhere which will take bookings for construction firms anymore so splinter dept meals outs before real Xmas occasion of Black Eye Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimron Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Christmas dos have the sole aim to put the workers in their place. Get them pissed and let them loose, for months afterwards they're all quiet and embarrassed. Management fodder, you can walk all over them and not one of them will ask for a pay rise or extra holiday... well worth the investment of a free bar.
