He is a minor celebrity when he's not doing what he does in this department
But nobody outside London and possibly Manchester would know him from Adam, and even then they'd only know him if they listened to a specific genre of music.

Again, not knowing what you do for a living
Does this minor celebrity status have any bearing whatsoever on his work? I can hardly get away with being a workshy loafer on account of my 45 minutes of televised fame in February, and by Norfolk standards that absolutely is celebrity. I was on the radio and everything.

Nope. The two things are entirely unrelated. I imagine that where he does the thing-for-which-he's-famous he's probably reasonably important
But here, he's on the lowest possible rung of the ladder until the work experience students arrive in the summer.

Well he can get to fuck then can't he
I'd like to advise you not to let you get to him if he's of no consequence and doesn't affect your workload, but that's not what I'd do in your position so it'd be dishonest of me. Undermine him to fuck.

Just out of interest, is this specific genre of music something that Labs and I might take great interest in? I know it's very popular in London and Manchester!

It's dance music, but, not knowing a great deal about that genre,
all I know is it's the much more commercial end of it.

Never mind then
Probably for the best, if you worked with someone out of VNV Nation I would've gone all giddy
