loose lips cost lives
i have to admit that i love a bit of juicy gossip. whether it's at work, socially or even on here, i like to know who is shagging whom and everything in between. but i do know when not to repeat it!

so: what's the best bit of gossip you've ever heard? and do you keep it to yourself, tell "just one person", or would it be quicker to publish it in "the sun"?

I do like a good gossip if I'm honest
I don't ever gossip about stuff that I said I wouldn't, though, I can keep a secret. (usually if I really, really have to tell someone or I'll explode I tell a friend who doesn't know any of the people involved) None of my friends are interesting enough to have any really juicy or weird gossip though.

Not gossip per se
But probably the best in-office fuck-up I've ever heard was at my last place of work, when this girl called Charlotte went on to Facebook - which was supposed to be restricted, but someone showed her a proxy - and created a group called "(name of company) is shit.com", DURING WORK HOURS, and was then mortified when it turned out that the bosses were unimpressed. Possibly the clearest-cut case of gross misconduct I've ever seen

The other night
I heard about a guy I know from school, who was offered a pay rise and a promotion by his boss in return for allowing his boss to take him roughly up the wrong 'un once or twice a week. Rumour is the guy's girlfriend weighed up the relative merits of her boyfriend being shagged by his boss vs the extra money, and came firmly down on the 'more money' side of the equation.

My work colleague told me an absolute corker of a bit of goss a couple of months back.
He's married, with 3 kids. We're oop North, and we also have an office in poncy southern poofter land. We occasionally meet up with the southern lot.

My colleague admitted that when he went down to a meeting last year, he shagged one of our southern female colleagues (also married) when they were staying over in a hotel.

There had been some online flirting in advance of the meeting, but after a night out on the lash they all adjourned to their hotel rooms (there was about 4 or 5 of them all staying at the hotel) and then 10 minutes later there was a knock at my mate's door. It was our female colleague, armed with a tube of lube and a packet of 3. Apparently she likes it up the arse.

This is a monumental piece of gossip. I was genuinely shocked. I've worked with all of these guys for years, so this is a huge piece of news, and I'm sworn to secrecy so I haven't told anyone - until now.

My mate isn't prone to lying or exaggeration, so I take him at his word. To top all this off, we went down there in January, and the whole team was having a night out on the town. Our female colleague showed up at our hotel an hour before we were all meeting up, chapped his hotel door, and went in and banged him before we went out. Fecking hell.

He's a right ugly bugger as well - older than me, smokes like a chimney, reeks of fags, and his teeth are horrible. How he does it is beyond me, because she's actually quite tidy.
