    What should I do?

    I work with this middle aged slightly chunky strawberry blonde (ginger) woman, and she keeps using teenage boy compuer game slang in meetings, its getting a little bit embarassing and people are starting chortle behind her back (we are not sniggering yet, but its only a matter of time till things escalate to sniggering). Just today when some poor guy made a mistake she shrieked "NOOB!!" and giggled... should I confront this northern lass and tell her that she doesnt need to talk like a teenage geek to fit in with middle aged geeks?

      Just give her some cheese or chocolate to keep her quiet - that's what I always do.

      And well done for being able to understand a Geordie accent - I have to keep referring to my copy of "Larn Yersel' Geordie" so that I can understand what is being said at me (rather than to me).

          Offer her a wispa and make her eat it there and then in exchange for your silence...

            Make sure you're sitting down behind a desk first though.

              Open this thread up on her computer while she's away from her desk.

                  Does he have a Porsche as a second car, own a motorboat, and need the to use the Masons as a sort of social crutch due to a hugely over-developed insecurity complex?

                    No, he's probably a Scot with a penchant for smilies, a chip on his shoulder and a need to snipe at his superiors.

                    Without the smilies SB, we wouldn't know where to laugh. Keep at it old bhoy.
