I am assisting Mrs Nick with a project at her university. She has said that it would be impossible to work together (correct) but that I will liaise with one of her colleagues "You are the same personality type as him," she said.

"What's he like?" I asked.
"Can't stand him."

As previously reported, e mailing a young woman I had never met in a rather PC organisation and asking her if "she was busy", but writing "busty" by mistake.

She went bonkers

One of the members of my team had circulated a Theasurus of profanities to his friends...was very funny but obviously triggered the IT Support Defcom 3 button.

As his manger I was then sent an email from our IT dept stating that action was required against this officer as he had sent an email containing:
24 F**K
6 c***
32 Ar**holes
21 Bas***d

and the list literally went on for over a page but they had not put in the asterisk's

Was hysterical .... so what did I do...forward their email to my mate (externally) ....D'oh !!!!!!!!!   noooo:

I once met the MD coming into the building as I was sidling out.
"Where are you off to?" he asked
"To get a haircut" I replied
"In company time?"
"Well it grows in company fvcking time"

MY next appraisal was not good. whistle:
