Tun Office Party survival tricks.

1) Don't start drinking in the transmission suite before the shift is over.
2) Don't chuck your drink down your neck at the bar just cause everyone else wants to get to the restaurant on time.
3) Eat what's put in front of you. All of it.
4) Talk a lot. That way your mouth isn't being used for drinking.
5) Dance a lot. Also makes it quite difficult to drink.
6) Leave when Alan "Always Steady" Harcus leaves. The party goes with him.

You'll be pleased to know that I did all of these things this year and was only mildly ill the next day, despite a 4am finish that saw me so drunk I slept on a half-open sofa bed in my clothes. Previous Tun Xmas parties have left me in agony for days. They make the narcotics-driven, head-shaving, art-student-shagging Hope St party seem tame. No-one parties quite as hard as middle class media types on their only night without the kids in 12 months.
