Got in Himmel. Take that square-heads. Sausage eaters. .... and that's before the Nips got a bashing.

Racism isn't what it was.

It's surprising we're all so well balanced really.

[Montreal Wanderer]

I had Battler Britain. There was a lot of "Mein Gott", "Donner und Blitzen", "Achtung Englander" and, towards the end, "Kamerad, Kamerad".

The Wolf of Kabul. Morgyn the Mighty and Chung. Biggles. ....Sword of Freedom.

Well balanced? You're all Bolton fans!

Read Morgyn after catching up on Biffo?

And some of us are serial killers, and some of us read rechers de temps perdu or something...

I may have to use "clicky ba' " on someone.

Our generation was raised on The Singing Ringing Tree.

Speak for yourself! Those in the know lived and breathed The Flashing Blade and Desert Crusader.

Oh yes sir. Not forgetting, Belle and Sebastien, Robinson Crusoe and The White Horses...

No I had one too and got a bunch of us kicked out of an English lesson humming the theme tune to Robinson Crusoe with some being the sound of the waves.

...absolutely fxcking furious. At work and my underling has gone over my head, not just to my overling, but to his overling, and all about something that I had already had planned to talk to my overling about - memo typed, meeting planned, room booked. And now my overling has had his balls scrunched by his overling because my underling has ignored all the fxcking protocols. I'm going to kill him, revive him and then kill him again.

You're not my overling's overling are you?
Just in case, Sorry Sir it won't happen again.

I have soooooo many ways of dealing with him Spotty.

Soooo many.




Some are even legal.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Yes. I decided to take the legal route too. He is now the proud owner of a verbal warning and confined to some very boring digital verification tasks a marsh otter would quickly grow bored of, for the forseeable.

[bobo the clown]

.... a quiet 'word in his ear, preferably at an incongruous setting, where you coolly explain to him that should he ever, ever (you may repeat ever' many more times depending upon taste) goes over your head again .... indeed, if he so much as says "hello" to your bosses boss again, (and the precise wording here is important) then you "will take steps which will utterly amaze him".

That should he show himself to be the snitching waste-of-oxygen he clearly is and this discussion reach anyone else's ears then it will lead to breath-taking repercussions, not least because you have pre-warned your boss that you have overheard him saying that he planned to do just this thing. Plausible deniability is key here.

Finally, invite him for an unexpected mid-year appraisal, where you assess his current progress (or lack thereof) on his objectives. Speed-up delivery expectations on some of the easier ones and add a couple of new ones whilst pointing out the consequences to salary, bonus and career of missing these and adding that it's not simply achieving but HOW he achieves them which matters also (and going two stages above his head is one of those factors).

Any little niggles you have should be wheeled out as well. The more petty the better. Especially ones now lost in the mists of time.

... and you should let down his tyres.

... and make him work on Sunday.

[Lost Leopard Spot]

If only I could make him work on Sunday. As for his tyres, he drives a shitty WagonR. It has wheels like bicycles and are forever spontaneously going down anyway. But cheers, you've given me some very workable ideas there. His life is about to become Misery.
