    It's fine, I'm sure GG (I think it was her?) will lend you her negative repelling bubble :D

    I was just thinking about that - but a bit worried she'd drop it :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Oh naw I totally forgot all about thunderbirds.....I should have done the bell jar drop to block out the inane ramblings - by the way she's not a nasty person, just someone who has a very elevated opinion of herself and knows everything about everything:cool:

    She's a female David Brent/Alan Partridge and often gives me a laugh...not intentionally, but to coin skint_spice, just at some of the pish she comes out with:D
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D

  • I work with a bloke like that and every time he starts I have an image of him in my head which makes me chuckle. Unfortunately I can't always stop the chuckle coming out, which is all well and good if I can mute a con call, but a tad embarrassing if we are together in the office :o

    The image is of him in Y fronts, with a a string vest and a knitted hanky atop his head. No clue where the image came from but without exception it appears :rotfl::rotfl:

    Enjoy tomorrow and hopefully you won't need the bell jar come Friday :)

    I guess if we didn't have the 'character colleagues', work would be a fairly drab place, PLUS it gives us writing material in years to come :D

    Some people are drains, others are radiators. She is a drain, you are a radiator. Simples :D.
