we've probably done this before, but the comments in this article made me think we can do so much better:

personally, although i have attended many an xmas party and drank all the booze in the world at them, i dont think i've ever done anything of "epic embarrassment" proportions. oh wait, i called a girl i worked with a "fucking slag" cos she got in my taxi after the party. i was only 19 tho.

i also cant remember any particularly rubbish xmas parties.

off you go...
