Yeah, I see ya point. A company one of my friends works for goes the complete opposite way.... They budget over £150,000 for the x-mas do (nearly 1000 staff) and will have not only a famous guest speaker but also a famous band/DJ and it'll be a free bar all night. Lucky gets.

They justify it as a morale/team building exercise....

I wouldn't go to a party for my entire place of work, that would be horrific - hundreds of part-time bar staff I've never even seen before and boring marketing types who just talk about work all the bloody time. Instead, each department has their own one, so you only have to socialise with people you actually know. From some of these stories it sounds like we're pretty close in my office. And I've only slept with one of them, so minimal awkwardness!

[dimtimjim]

And I've only slept with one of them

Tsk, must try harder, go to the bottom of the class.

It's not my fault the men are all gay! It is theatre, after all.

But surely you have special powers than may be able to turn one or two of them (i.e. Breasties)

[Yudster]

I agree - if a party costs anyone's annual salary, its wrong whether there is a recession on or not. There's absolutely no reason even a recession-hit company can't have a general celebration, it needn't cost anything much. Here, they have a party in the office with a buffet, the boss provides plenty of wine (although it would work perfectly well without that) and they have a great time I hear. I was on holiday last year and will be again this year, so I'll take their word for it!

In my experience you can never ever please people.

Have a party = Rather of had the money
Have a cheap party = This is crap, why can't we have a meal
Have a meal = Why can't we have a cheap party and the cash
Have a meal and free bar = Why can't we have the money, a meal, and a cheap party, and why are they drinking more than me, and having sex in the Toilet, and being sick on the mini bus, and telling the Director what a useless piece of shit he is.... Ah happy days!

Alas, even the power of my breasts is not enough. One of my former colleagues even walked in on me in my bra in the changing room once - nothing!

[DevilsDuck]

...if there are no pictures, it never happened!

[dimtimjim]

Is it jus' me picturing Nic kinda like a superhero with her special weapon. Like He-man and his sword, a Jedi lightsaber or Wolverines claws...?

Alas, even the power of my breasts is not enough to thwart the powers of evil.

I don't think gay men are 'turned' by bosoms. Though admittedly I'm not entirely sure how these things work.

I mean, if I waved a bag full of * in your general direction, would you feel an uncontrollable urge to suck them?

[Boboff]

You Guys!

Turn everything into a convesation about sex with Nic, and the Tim/Ben/Duck, you're so gay thing!

Love it. Still when we all get into year 6, what then?

[a-moron]

Mad Dog 20/20, smelly fingers and the occasional jump would be my hopes.

[DevilsDuck]

oh boboff, dont be jealous, you are still the Alpha big gay bear around here x

[Boboff]

Schucks! You Guys!

All the Single Ladies, Put your Hands up!

You are correct, they aren't. Sadly I have my swear filter on, so I'm not entirely sure what you're waving in my direction.

May I just say I LOVE this image.

Isn't that almost taken directly from Kevin Bridges?

[a-moron]

Dunno? Never seen his DVD. I've heard him on Fighting Talk a few times and the odd TV spot. If I have copied this from his act then I didn't do so knowingly.
We must just have had similar childhoods.
And smelly fingers.

[Bonanzoid]

Tried to Youtube the clip cut couldn't find it. Admittedly, didn't try very hard.

yes, with exception he used finger as a singular, not plural and didn't continue to the jump request.

KB is great.

I must have known more promiscuous girls in my youth than he did.

[Bonanzoid]

Wearing them like gloves were you?

True - this is why I liked what we used to do, it was paid for by us as individuals so you could choose whether to participate or not, and no one could complain that the copmpany was either wasting money or providing a perk that some people would benefit from more than others blah blah blah...
