We are slap, bang in the middle of Christmas party season and people up and down the land are destroying themselves in the hope of convincing the boss to give them a raise, while throwing back shots and performing terrible Kings of Leon cover versions.
What a time to be alive.
One gentleman took matters to extremes, or at least he presumes he did – he can’t remember a thing.
The 22-year-old woke up in a nightclub in Manchester wearing just his underpants. The place was empty, and he had absolutely no recollection of getting there.
The last thing he told emergency services he could remember was leaving another party around 1am; he mistakenly sent police to that venue, not realising that he had moved on.
Incidentally, this all took place on Friday afternoon, so he’d been in there for quite a while.
The Manchester police helpfully decided to live tweet the whole thing.
999 just in from man in just his underpants locked in empty office block. Last thing he remembers is leaving Christmas party in a bar at 1am
