They’re just guys, with families probably.
Maybe the only time they’ve let loose all year.
Back in the day I was charged with showing a substitute teacher the ropes. A few days into her tenure she proudly announced her engagement. Another few days later we both hit it off at the Christmas do…we took a break from our amorous dancing to have a drink and a fag at the bar. Not having a light I stuck both cigarettes in my gob, dandered over to my boss’s table, where I lifted a candle and lit them both. For the rest of the evening myself and the newly betrothed carried on like a pair of horny teenagers at our first disco.
All good harmless fun were it not for her recent engagement, my position of responsibility and the fact that she was the boss’s daughter.

They’re not there as family men; they’re there as company leaders. Have your meal, few drinks and then leave a few quid behind the bar and exit before making a gowl of yourself
Ones wife actually turned up around same time as me and was trying to catch up to her fella’s state

Yanks can’t handle serious drinking.
Did you change careers shortly afterwards?
They cannot grasp the concept of pints at all. All bottles and a chaser.

What did Lector once say? We covet what we see every day…
It certainly applied to one of our facilities fellas who seems have let the old coveting spiral out of control at the recent Christmas event.

It’s embarrassing, I don’t know what lads see in it at all.
yeah i know but there’s a reason why those lads live in council houses with no prospects
corporate office parties are serious business

no absolutely not correct
@balbec is bang on - if you have simpletons reporting to you or are at a party comprising of any lower food chain employees and you have signage on the event - get in there, pay the check- show the face and out… whatever happens afterwards wasnt funded by the company and the best bit of all, you didnt fucking see it

Post smoking ban perhaps, scurrilous behaviour.
I haven’t attended work social events with any degree of regularity since I was a wide mouthed young fella from Leitrim going buck ape in Dublin with a few bob in my pocket about 15 years ago.
Reason being mainly shyness but also a lack of interest in having pints with people who I don’t particularly like, or don’t find interesting, for the most part.

yeah, after I was locked in a cell for the night when I was 19 at my first combo do, I decided there was nothing to be gained from these things.
