Drinks club 'ritual' wrecks pub

This little incident puts me in mind of a passage I recently read in Tommy:

A speech by Lord Cavan was inaudible; a group climbed onto the table, 'forming a ram as in Eton football', and the table collapsed. Eventually 'everything breakable in and around the room - tables, chairs, bottles, glasses, windows - was systematically smashed'. Blacker's disgust with the performance made him feel 'out of gear with my old school'.
