Themes/Fancy Dress work parties DO NOT WORK. my old department at work organised one, two of the lads got dressed up as Osama and Saddam to sell the tickets. certain people got very offended and called the press. the next day we were front page of the journal (i think) and other members of the press were sniffing round. needless to say the party got cancelled and the 'pranksters' got really told off. i bought a miami vice costume too, white suit, pink t-shirt, wig and a shiney gold police badge. bastards
