Vulture Central yesterday celebrated a cracking year in the traditional style - papadoms, beer and good cheer. Witty conversation and revelry were the order of the night as delirious hacks worked their way through an enormous quantity of pilau rice and Kingfisher lager.

Naturally, our very own Paparazzi O'Leery was on hand to capture the event for posterity. Readers not familiar with Reg staffers will no doubt be grateful for our very own print-out-and-keep Yule montage. Enjoy, and a very happy Xmas to you all. ®
