..........does it take to stop a Chrimbo party?
Well in tonight's case dear readers 4, all involving different people, and all within the space of 60 minutes. I wouldn't have minded but there were only 75 people in the room altogether.
I don't know or care why the fights started but the first one was before the food had even finished.
Obviously alcohol had a big part in the agression levels and I dare say, in at least one case, old scores were settled but the actions of 9 dumbass individuals, 3 of them girls, ruined the function for not just the other 60 odd people who were out for a good time but hotel staff who had to try and restore calm.
Why can't people just go out and have fun?

Office parties? You spend 46 weeks a year stuck with people you wouldn't normally associate with, then for one night get shoved into the same room with cheap alcohol.
Scores being settled sounds about right. :s

Were you DJ-ing Carl, or did this happen at your company party?

Yes, I was DJ-ing.
It was strange becuase I haven't had any trouble at a function in ages, not even a minor scuffle. These were full-blown 'if I had a knife/gun I'd kill you' type fights.
I was also disappointed with the function manager who, even after four fights suggested we carry on and was somewhat surprised when I told her that I was pulling my gear out unless she was prepared to pay for all damages.
Donney, maybe you're on to something there........... :\

From what I heard from a reliable source, this is how it all went down.
Fight breaks out at the party. Two yobos sitting near the DJ stand are overheard by another partygoer.
"Hey Johhny <hic> want to take out that blinking <hic> DJ who keeps on playing those frekking <hic> Synaaaatra songs <hic>
"Not a chance <hic> Andy <hic> he's a big baaaaas <hic> tard he is <hic> Lets rather smaaash the mail boys earholes <hic>

" How many flights "

Followed by "How many frights ...." on the subject of ghosts :p :
Carl, you know you love that Crazy Frog. You know he starts riots, being popular and whatnot. Why can't you just stick to Amarillo and Busted? :)
Anyway, so far no trouble at the parties I've been to. Which is a surprise, as I was at them ..... but tomorrow's Macintosh party with Animal Clarkson should soon put matters back on track <hic>
