having made the great escape
from uxbridge i am now back in london.

i really like my new work room mate. he is clever and funny and nice looking and helpful and doesn't smell or shout on the phone or talk to my tits or loudly dictate every last word of every email or letter.

but oh my GOD IF HE DOESN'T STOP THAT BASTARD BASTARD BASTARD COUGHING I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ACTIONS. it's like that bjork song in here... "it's oh so quiet, sssh, ssssh... and then... you cough that lung up, bang bang" ...

it's loud. it's sudden. it's long. it makes me jump. it's every bloody five minutes of every half an hour of every bloody hour of the livelong day. i'm usually pretty easygoing, but *this*, this is what has got to go.

and breathe. without coughing.

ok fine so it's not technically on topic, but at least it's made me feel better and it's a punfree zone!

Sounds like the sniffler whom I work with
Every 30 seconds... *SNIFF*. I got so annoyed once I thought it was because I hadn't had a cig in a while... it wasn't.

Cheer up ducks!
Look on the positive side - perhaps it's throat cancer.

Buy him some Benylin
we used to throw packs of paper hankies at a serial sniffer in our office. It was always a double sniff too. "Sniff sniff" pause "sniff sniff".
Two hours of that and I was ready to commit murder!
