            Could be the case.

            I still think you're skirting round the matter.

            Why not name and shame? We might know him! We might even be him!!!

              Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

              Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                  He constantly talks and is an authority about everything ever!
                  When he stops talking, he mumbles some cack tune over and over again.

                  So, if you are the new contractor and your reading this.....

                  SHUT THE F**K UP FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES. Please.
                  I once worked with a contractor like that, what industry are you in, and did he do a stint at Exxonmobil ?
                  SA says;
                  Well you looked so stylish I thought you batted for the other camp - thats like the ultimate compliment!

                  I couldn't imagine you ever having a hair out of place!

                    Do try to keep up - that would involve communication with the guy... and we have established that BellyMan hasn't made any attempt at communication despite several suggestions about EMail and actually "talking"......

                      Tell him that it's all men day down the local Turkish Baths and would he like to join you.

                      He'll keep quiet for as long as you keep that up.
                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
