"Nope- I have discovered that riding naked not only saves me money on waterrproofs, but seems to make me more visible on the road"

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

I wondered that but then figured that there must be some history...

Every f*cking time, Jesus christ.

...for the palinurus to get p*ssed off by it.

OP - Can you do that eyebrow thing like Mr Spock?

Do it and say "That seems to be the only logical outcome".

PS.
You've got to be absolutely straight faced and serious, and look at him like he's a complete cretin.

 

[BentMikey]

Palinurus, you've been owned by that cow-orker. Just take your abuse and whimper!!

 

[dudi]

next time, you could pre-empt him.

walk by with your waterproof jacket/trousers rolled into a "rope". them when he turns and says "you'll need thy waterproofs this eve' " you can lean forwards, quickly whip the "rope" round his neck and pull him back against the chair.
try to get some movement of arse from seat and you pull back, then whisper in his ear something along the lines of "you've obviously got a thing about waterproofs, how do you like them now? good for you is it?"

but that might be a bit overboard... i don't know...

 

[jimboalee]

The indirect route might be most effective.

If, I say IF there is a freindly buddy in the office, let him/her know you are an ex boxer.

The rumour should spread.

If the guy asks or says anything about you being an ex boxer, tell him "Yeh man, I've got an xBox 360".

My apologies in advance to all Colins out there.

Does anyone remember the Fast Show, and Charlie Higson's Colin Hunt character? The one who walks round the office squeaking "I'm an alien, I'm an alien".

My advice to the OP is to say "Thank's Colin".

Wise folks will see the association, because what the viewers were NOT told about Colin Hunt, was that he was:-

"Colin Hunt, the office cu….clown".

 

[palinurus]

Boxer? jeez, you should see me.

I've got to try something different next time tho', I think a preemptive move is a good idea- although I'm undecided about the strangulation aspect at the moment. Perhaps if I submit a risk assessment I can get away with it.
