    I see a wind up in progress

    One minute I was busy 'working' then a valentines card had slipped under my door at the client site with some slushy prose and a phone number with the stalkerish words "I see you everyday, so what have you got to lose" followed by a mobile number

    Ok I'm surrounded by birds here, but I smell a wind up

    This wasn't after you'd just been for lunch with a colleage, was it?

    If it was and they had the seafood calamari, it's genuine. Otherwise it's a wind up.

        take a photo of your c o c k with your camera phone, and text it to the number.

        Either it's a bird, and she'll be turned on, or your so called mates will get a horrible surprise.

        HTH.

          No. The manly thing would be to walk into the office with the card and
          loudly say 'come on guys I'm not falling for this' an then tear the
          card up in front of everyone.

          If some lads laugh. Sorted
          If some lass bursts into tears and runs out you can decide whether she's fit and run after her. Sorted

          and if nobody flinches. It means your mum popped around.

            Or the person in very senior management whose number they used will be "intrigued".

              if you send a pic of your tackle to that mobblie number, you will wake up tomorrow with a sore bum.

                An aqueous cream would work better.

                    Give the number to a mate and get them to ring it while you are in the office, see who's phone rings. Decide from there. That way the mate gets the stalker calls if you're not interested
