    The guy sitting diagonally opposite me looks very much like Uncle Fester. Any interesting individuals in your direct surroundings?

    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    There's a guy in my office who his mates would probably call "larger than life". He's not obscenely fat, but he is a large guy. He talks in a slightly funny voice, thinks everything is funny including his own lame jokes. He's called Bob - predictably enough - and he's the least funny guy I've ever met. God knows why he's so happy all the time, but it really pisses me off.

      I work from home so only have me for company. Sanest working environment for years.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        I've got an alcoholic who shuffles to the loo every morning with a bottle of Listerine and a toothbrush in an attempt to mask the odour.

        Then there's the guy with the beard that almost covers his entire head. The back, sides, and front of his neck are covered, and from there it spreads menacingly over his cheekbones and threatens to engulf his eyes. I can't tell where his regular hair stops and where the beard starts. He looks like an ewok - just lips, eyes and nose peeking out of a mass of bushy fuzz.
        You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

          I suspect you work opposite Mich.

                    Oh, yeah. I know him. There's a knobhead Bob everywhere.
                    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
