 he smells and he lives in a bedsit and it smells
	he smells and he lives in a bedsit and it smellsi am too soft to bully anyone in real life. a surveyor was telling me about a good practical joke on the new boy though - it's v common in long/premium leases to see the annual rent as being "a peppercorn". this chap told his virginal colleague who was dealing with it to pop off and see their director, who had a jar of peppercorns in his desk ready for making payment... and the lad fell for it.
i wanted to try this on our trainees, but got told it would count as bullying. sigh. i was all set to have a system of green, pink, brown and black peppercorns for the four quarters. sigh again.
