Pub in Rose Street, I cant remember it name. The toilets were in the basement.

A guy goes to the toilet late on and on coming back upstairs takes the wrong door. Not seeing any of us he's decided we've all gone home and disappears into the night. We had a great time!

Same guy different year, blootered, all of a sudden gets up, swears and runs out the door.

Later at work he tells us he had looked at his watch, it was midnight and he was rushing to get a last bus. Not seeing it and not having enough money for a taxi he starts walking home, from town to Fairmilehead. It's weather like it is now, cold, sleet, miserable. As he's passing the Braid Hills Hotel a bus goes flying past. WTF! He looks at his watch it's 2 am, except it's not its 8 pm - he'd had his watch on upside down!

Milnes?

Sounds like it!!

Although I wasn't at the parties Jack is on about I can vouch for most of his stories as it was mental in these days. Wish I could turn back the clock!

Having worked plenty backshifts during during the festive period over the years I've seen some states going home, the same people that wouldn't say boo to you going to work on a Monday morning.

I loved our christmas nights at gleneagles, the staff were all served food by the bosses in the function rooms, free wine on the tables then over to the staff social club. Drunk doesnt even come close. Didnt have one at my new job this year as its a brand new dept and we have all only just started

[Hermit Crab]

Had ours last night. Bowie tribute gig. Good fun plenty bevy and laughs. Lawn mowers were out in force last night as well.

I had my work Christmas lunch yesterday and I can't remember a thing after 7pm. I've well and truly got the fear today

[Phil D. Rolls]

Used to hate them when I was a taxi driver. I remember being outside the Cavendish at 4 pm, and two people carried this creature out. The person was legless, and they thought that a taxi was the answer to their problems.

The standard reply in these situations is "you got them drunk, you get them home".

tbh most of the people I took home we're glad the thing was all over. Beats me why anybody thinks these things are good for staff morale.

First year working for myself so I've planned a trip through to Dublin..Have a few pints of creamy G in Grogans as well as a couple of their legendary cheese and ham toasties..Get the train back here with a festive carry out for the 3 hours trip...

[Pretty Boy]

Had mine on Saturday. Meal was decent and it seemed our party night was amazingly low on dickheads. Ended up enjoying myself after dreading it a bit.

Even won £300 playing 3 card poker at the casino after.

[DH1875]

We are having ours at the end of January

The caves is awesome if some what a little on the chilly side.

The company I had an internship with over summer had theirs on Friday night. I've been with them 3 summers and the last 2 Xmas nights out were immense. The concept of free bevvy all night excites me for the whole year. However our exams are a week later this year so I couldn't go.

That was a common occurance in Da Da Da on Shandwick Place. Was a devastating blow when it shut down!

[Scouse Hibee]

Had ours last night,free bar all night, never got that in my last job.

[Haymaker]

As I am self employed I will treat myself to a few beers tonight!

Black Friday.

Light off and those standing unsteadily in the middle of the road holding a pizza box need not apply.

How To Go To The Pub

http://juicecomedy.co.uk/2012/12/30/...go-to-the-pub/

[hibbymick]

I get asked every year to go to the xmas night oot and every year they get told the same answer.........." I wouldn't drink with any of you at any other time of year so why would I want to drink with you now, oh and I dont like you".

[Peevemor]

There's about 30 of us where I work and we usually have 3 or 4 organised social events per year (normally paid for by the company). As is to be expected, there are those who are used to a good scoop and others who don't drink much at all and, maybe surprisingly, they generally don't change their habits for the nights out.

I think there's less Christmas binge drinking here on the continent.
