Thanks to "The Fast Show" for this
When I first started this job, a load of us workers were taken on and organised into teams of 12. On this team were a manager, 3 seniors and normal lackies. Myself, Justin and a guy called Chris were designated as the seniors and we all got on with the job. Well that was except for Chris. He started to get a bit anal with regards to talking and approaching other staff, except toward me? For some bizarre reason he'd been miserable as sin towards the others, and I got singled out as the "friend amongst enemies". How the fuck I managed to earn this is anyone's idea.

So a few months pass, and Chris is getting more and more agitated with work and paranoid about other staff "talking about him", which is only really people voicing concern for him (not against) and he starts doing odd things to other members of staff. One he tried dropping a heavy book on her head from a slight height, another he'd be spying on quite clearly while we're all working....it was all rather odd.

So one night after work, we're all yapping on MSN and in logs Chris. The others keep a window open and talk to me while Chris is whining on about how we "don't understand" etc etc. I'm just cpoying-pasting all of this into the other conversation with the team, and they've all got the giggles. In the middle of this, I come out with the reply "Just tell us what's going on mate, you need to be more assertive, like that Monkfish bloke on the Fast Show."

Hence the legend of "Monkfish" is born.

They (and I) were doctoring pics of monkfish, getting menus left at desks with monkfish highlighted as the special and cut-outs from the Fast Show left randomly around the desks too. Big posts with "Sponsored by Monkfish", also we went into his email account (for we work for an ISP) and added the address MONKFISH@******ld.com too, which we subscribed to various porn sites etc.

A few months later he went the full course and threatened to smash my face in in work, saying I'd been spreading rumours behind his back. Justin saw this and quietly reminded him that everyone was sick of this and he'd drill him up the road after work, and at the end of the shift we never saw Monkfish again. A real shame that :p
