He strides with so much purpose he looks like he's a man on a mission, striding with a purpose. Causes a draft everytime he walks, really annoys me when he walks past my desk.

    Another trails his left hand, waving in the air like Quentin Crisp trying to flag down a taxi.

    Another one moves silently, almost on tiptoe, along the side of the walls, looking around furtively like a cat burglar.

    I tend to mooch. Hands in pocket, un-interested and walking with the purpose of a man on the way to the gallows.

    Got me thinking. What other styles are there?
    I goose-step like a guard outside the Kremlin.

    Makes the tendons ache a bit though after a while, and I do get the odd funny look.

      I walk like I belong there.

      Be it a dodgy pub in Belfast or a Boardroom.

      In fact if I weren't 6ft 8" you'd miss me in the crowd.

        Does that involve limping?

          That is tall.

          You've never mentioned that before.

            And how long would that be? I'm finding it hard to imagine it seeing as its a foot and half in diameter.

            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                It's funny that it's only you short-arses that whing about it.

                Btw, are you still over 20 stone you fat bastard?

                  Sticks and stones may break my bones but cakes will make you fat.

                    Thanks for the tip.

                    Can I have some advice on pies?

                      Just heard from Lady Tester; she's taken what's left of the stewed hare I made at the weekend (froze what we had left) and is going to make a nice pie for me to eat when I get home, in the style of a steak and kidney pie.

                      So there's my advice; Hare Pie.
