    Aha! The person who does it most here at my clientco is also thick.

    I think we have a hypothesis....

      Now my guy is a professional goon.

      He ambles about the place, utterly confident in his complete incompetance.

      His "YEAH YEAH YEAH..." shouting loosely translates as 'Yeah, Yeah. You know I barely know where I am most days; let alone how to carry out what you're suggesting. Just end this conversation and let me get back to my ambling".
      Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

        I have never heard that one. Don't forget to join in with the "she loves you"s!

          The canteen lady excelled herself this morning.

          Me: I'm sure you had baked beans last week - The English breakfast is a bit threadbare with just bacon, sausage, and eggs.

          Her: We only do baked beans and mushrooms on fridays

          Me: Oh

          What is special about fridays? I should have asked - I'll do that tomorrow.

            Perhaps she thinks baked beans and mushrooms are fish.

              In my yoof I went to a Holiday Camp/Hotel place for several years - They did a "Full" English except they had either Beans or Tinned Tomatoes on alternate days and Fried eggs or Scrambled eggs on alternate days! I never did understand the logic.

              Back on topic - I also hate "Can I get?"

                god I'm worried we haven't worked in the same place, fist lesbian 'Gill and now the churchill dog - we had a guy exactly the same, didn't matter what bulltulip you fed him he'd go 'oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah' as if he already knew what your talking about which is quite impressive when you've just made it up on the spot- he deserves to be played with
                sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

                      I'm to admit, I use a lot of those phrases .... usually I don't even notice.

                      The shame. I'll have to watch what I am saying.
