Swedish news site's Christmas party ended in vomit fest. [View all]

A julbord (Christmas buffet) at a conference for the Omni news site ended rather unpleasantly after close to 30 people, more than half of the site's employees were hit by severe vinterkräksjuka (winter vomiting sickness).

Chief editor Markus Gustafsson wrote in a mail to P4 Stockholm that the poisoning had been a "unfortunate end to a fantastic conference".
