    So in the office I have a desk that I use. The consultancy has been asked to provide another body so they have shopped one in. The client has not provided another desk so, and I sheet you not they have installed his PC on my desk. So now I have half as much desk.

    We are sat here cuddled up, like Siamese twins. Normally I have my laptop on the desk, and the keyboard and mouse for the clientCo PC.

    But now I have to have my laptop and other PC in the same space.

    Also the new consultant is very chatty. Very very chatty.

    Output from me has plummeted because of these changes.

    Advice please.

      Try holding his hand every so often and then look into his eyes and say "I love you". Then giggle and look away.

        Get a heart shaped photo frame for the desk with a picture of the two of you. And an empty one for your future kids.

                Should I ignore him tapping me on the arm?

                  No, the next time he does it whip round and chin him while shouting "Flashbacks man! Flashbacks!"
