its Laandaan mate - not twee little Ireland
A lad in here collapsed a couple of years ago and was carted off in the ambulance. It was ultimately great for him because it was decided in his absence that he must have been under too much pressure and strain in work and the powers above basically divided out all the tasks he was responsible for among other people. He sits around now and has a great time getting the same wage.
No, but there are a lot of low level simpletons on the production floor who had mishaps with hot beverages.
I know a large Irish firm who shows their employees how to carry cups of coffee up a staircase.
Our Kettle is being made redundant from March 1st… H&S bull$hit.
We are not allowed a toaster , microwave or kettle in the office. ridiculous H & S bullshit.
The continuous bad breath on a fellow team colleague has gone beyond a joke at this stage. I can smell it from here and he is nearly 2 seats over… Its like he gargled the contents of Fred Wests back garden.
How would you approach this?

I also have this problem with my boss. We have a kinda open plan office but his section is cordoned off with a glass partition and sometimes the whole area reeks of his breath.
Thinking about introducing peppermint tea to the mid morning tea break.
Repeatedly offer him chewing gum.
Why would you approach it if it smells that bad?
Its like there is some cunt decaying away under the floor boards here.
Had this issue with a hyper-sensitive girl in work once and obviously it is a delicate matter. What I did was tell another colleague that this new girl I started seeing had bad breath and asked him what way could I approach it-all this while she was in earshot. My colleague was in on the act and we both loudly discussed how shameful it was in this day and age for women to have bad breath. It seemed to work as from then on, no more smelly breath. I’m sure she saw through it as it was subtle as a sledgehammer but it was so bad we had to do something.
There are two fellas working with me, one in particular who always has bad breath. Funny enough his diet is shit, i only ever seeing him eating packets of taytos at work and he’d often come in with a suasage sandwich in the morning. Would this be the reason for bad breath? He is also a smoker. The other fella is the exact same as him, terrible diet just eats junk food and smokes.
How could any lad lie in beside a bird with bad breath? He’d want to be some sort of sick fuck.
Anyway, something will give with this lad soon. I wouldn’t mind but he is a well groomed gent otherwise.
New guy arrived on Tuesday.
Seems a decent bloke but as usual there are certain behaviors that are starting to irritate me and the headphones are being used quite a bit.
Basically, this grown man acts like a fucking child. His desk is full of figureens that he has collect over the many places he has worked.
Tuesday: “This green guy here is from the crew in IBM” as he points at some sort of dinosaur figure that looks like its been washed many times. I suspect its a child hood toy myself its that fcuked up.
This morning: “I’ve got some really cool lego stuff as well” as he open the top drawer and its filled with lego. Apparently a Malaysian contractor in his last job would buy him pieces of lego on a weekly basis as a gesture of goodwill as your man was fierce helpful.
Otherwise he seems like a real IT pro. But there literally isn’t room on his desk with all the shit he has accumulated over the years. Transformers, the ninja turtles, Gi Joe…

Back off, Transformers are fuckin class.
@Kinvara’s Passion, any sign of the chap you work with who was reported missing a week or two ago?
Not good news I’m afraid. His car was found burned out in Galway County on Tuesday and its suspected the body was in the car. There are counsellors in here today to speak to staff who worked closely with him.

In my job, some if the women have come in in fancy dress but they are wearing the sluttiest costumes available.
one if them who is sexy most of the time is wearing a Snow White outfit but the skirt is really short and she has stockings a suspenders.
Pictures or it hasn’t happened.
