It’s not long until Christmas. And you know what that means: Christmas parties.

As usual, we will all be going along to the big company do. There’s nothing like some free booze and Christmas cheer to encourage a bit of inter-departmental ‘bonding’.

Nothing wrong with that, you might think, and in the past I might have agreed with you. These things always make for entertaining office banter the next day/year.

But in recent times, things have taken a sinister turn for the worse. Mobile phones with cameras and video recorders mean there is always some little so-and-so standing by to record any drunken antics. And while it’s possible to rubbish the accounts of colleagues who were a bit worse for wear themselves at the time, it’s much more difficult to brush off video evidence.

The last thing you want is to find that your wife’s friend has come across a video clip on Facebook showing you and Alison from accounts recreating one of the scenes from Dirty Dancing.

My advice to any would-be revellers out there is to moderate your alcohol intake. Only joking! Why not get a phone which takes high-quality photos and videos and take a few ‘progress shots’ yourself over the evening? That way you can ensure you have some ammunition in any inter-departmental ribbing next year.
