21st Century Gambling

With all the Christmas office do’s fast approaching, it is vitally important to book the right venue for the office staff.

In my experience, these office parties can get really out of hand and with me in particular, very messy.

I didn’t even manage to get to the restaurant on one of my more memorable office do’s.What happened was I drank and drank at my friend’s house before we ventured out to the restaurant.Regrettably I drank so much wine that I was so sick that I couldn’t even stand up, and there was no chance of going to the restaurant.

It always seems such a great idea at the time, but as is normally the case, the more I drink, the more relaxed I get and eventually I end up a right mess.

For once, this year I am determined not to make a complete idiot of myself. I want to remain fairly sober (fat chance).

However, if I should have too much to drink (foregone conclusion) there will hopefully be some decent bar furniture I can prop myself up against at the local pub. I know there won’t be a problem with the restaurant furniture, but you know what these pubs can sometimes be like.There are no seats and the bars are all futuristic and modernised. Whatever happened to the cosy snugs of olden days?

I am hoping that once we have finished our meal my colleagues will help me out of the restaurant. I will hopefully still be in one piece and able to at least stagger up to the nightclub. Once in the club, I know I will be okay because there is loads of funky club furniture around that I can collapse onto.

With any luck I will be dancing the whole night and not making a complete idiot of myself. Mind you, if I didn’t make a fool of myself, what would everybody have to talk about the next day??
