I find them a waste of an evening that I could have spent drinking with my friends

They are crap. Every year it's the same - when is the earliest I can leave without seeming rude? And like the good doctor says above, an evening drinking with people you don't want to drink with means one less evening with those you do.

Forty years ago there used to be a good chance of shagging somebody you probably didn't expect to shag. Don't seem to be so much fun these days..............

I imagine i will be back at the Oval. I forgot whether it was last year or the year before that i woke up in a Watford bus depot at around 3am, completely unaware of my whereabouts and precisely how i went from South London to there in the course of around 4 hours. I don't want that to happen again. I have to get some sort of self-electrocution device that sends a terrible pain to my penis every time i accept another sambucca.
I know the do is the night of our televised Friday night game, so hopefully that will make me want to stay unf*cked enough to watch us give someone a slapping.

Good shout. The only thing I would add is that from 40+ you realise nobody really cares if you go or not (unless you are the boss) so just stop going and ignore the 'boring oil git' comments the next working day

There's one for our region that costs £10 but is being subsidised by the company; for that you get a three course meal, £10 of drinks vouchers and a raffle ticket to win a TV, braclet and a bunch of other stuff. It's the most generous I've ever seen them and makes me suspicious they'll end the night with redundancies

What, like Rose West?
We won't be having one this year due to one member of staff doing so much to ruin last year's that it has been decided it's better not to bother rather than risk a repeat.

Is that member of staff still working at the same place ?
I try to avoid them these days - when I lived in Brighton, i'd always have a couple of colleagues / drinking buddies, so they were definitely more fun.
Antipodean Christmas parties (so far) have been worse than the one i had at NCP during my teenage years - being surrounded by socially awkward traffic wardens in Hawaiian shirts, all trying to use the line 'do you like a man in uniform?' on the girls from my office. Absolute depress fest

Yes.
They are rather tedious.
Sadly this year we are doing a whole company one which means having to socialise with sales centre workers.

The sole Christmas Party I shall enjoy will be watching the impeccable special from The Office.
