Started raining just before I was about to leave. I thought I'd be able to slip past his desk if I was quiet, just put the laptop away, stuff a few things in my courier bag and make like I was on my way to the coffee machine.

Was heading for the double doors, didn't even see his head move but I heard him..

"Oooh, you'll need your waterproofs tonight".

Every f*cking time, Jesus christ.

Hopefully in the next round of redundancies it'll be him. Or me.

empty a cup of water on his seat before he gets in. then when he arrives, tell him "Oooh, you'll need your waterproofs today". :sad:

Wait until petrol rises substantially again (and it will) and then say...

Oooh... you'll need to buy fuel again.


Or -

Wait until its lovely and sunny, and

Oooh... gorgeous weather for a ride home.

Or just make the next round of coffees and say...

Oooh... wouldn't it be lovely if one of these were yours?

94.9p a litre from tesco last time i filled up (saturday)
But i had one of those 5p off vouchers. so cost 89.9p.

I only fill up once every 6 weeks or so, so the rises barely effect me.

I had someone at work ask me when I was going to stop cycling for the winter. like it's expected of me that I would give in to the colder weather. she looked very confused when I said "I'm not, i'll just wear tights"

I dont think she understood what i meant, poor lass probably has terrible mental images of me in a pair of 20 dennier tights now... bless.

Could he not be not just trying to be helpful or strike up a conversation ?

Yeah, didn't they announce their profits today?

edit: £6.4billion for last 3 months

but Shell make even more (biggest profit for a UK listed company) but get away with it.

maybe BP will just shade them this qtr?
