You want some headphones that go in your ear canal (the end anyway) and then you can put some music on you won't hear them.

Every so often you end up working near some inconsiderate f*** but hey ho that's life.

I used to get mad at my job
The managers werent so Cool
Holding me down
Turning me round
Filling me up with their Rules


Yes - I admit - its getting better
Getting Better - all the Time

GETTING SO MUCH BETTER - ALL THE TIME

Since you've been mine

I used to be angry young man
Me hding me head in the Sand
You gave me the word -
I finally heard -
Now I m doing the best that I can

Yes - I admit - its getting better
Getting Better - all the Time

GETTING SO MUCH BETTER - ALL THE TIME

Since you've been mine ...

Not at all - my fantasies involve donkeys with very long ears.

I recommend an associative strategy. He needs to think of you and stop laughing, period.

Therefore one night when he is working late sneak up behind him and throw him on the desk. Then drop your trousers, grab hold of his hair and take him forcibly up the behind whilst laughing manically.

Was anyone else turned on by that?

Theres something wrong with me

Fantasising again OM?

Buy some Bose noise cancelling headphones and bill the fecker!

Haven't they invented noise cancelling speakers yet? Directional of course so you can construct noise barriers. No? Well can someone who has a clue about this stuff get off their arse and hurry up.

Working in an open plan office in London and I have been here, developer, for five months. There is a loud guy, consultant, who sits at the other end of the office. The problem is, he laughs like Mutley from the cartoon Whacky Races. Very loud.

Does he also say something like: "shashaw fashaw rashaw, rotten luck"?

Perhaps every time he does a Muttley you could walk up to him and do your best Dick Dastardly: "Muttley! Do something!!" Then just walk away. That would soon stop him.

Nothing is that ****** funny, nothing can be that ****** funny for that ****** long. I have seriously considered violence and am now considering not extending because of the irritating little sh!t tick.

I once worked in an office where a lady had a laugh like a demented hyena, ended abruptly each time with a snort like a warthog who'd just found a truffle the size of a beachball, and she found anything and everything hilariously funny ..

[Gibbon]

There's a guy in my office, some code monkey or other, who is a right miserable tulip. I was doing my mutley impression and it seemed to irritate him which I and the girls found quite amusing. Anyway whenever we talk about things that are not even funny I do the impression just to see him steam up. We all hope he won't renew and I'm trying my best.

Will it help if you develope a more thundering laugh than him, just to neutralise his laugh

Hasn't someone recently developed an office noise neutraliser? It sort of detects noise and sends it back out at 180 degrees phase. Or something.

Yes, of course the haggis-bashers are murdered more brutally, no one is disputing that. But the number is the point, the quantity. Plus the dancing on the grave afterwards.

Hmmm. I guess I can't dispute Norris McWhirter.

Well, I have anecdotal evidence that more people grind their teeth, then go home and kick the dog/wife after suffering braying laughter from north of the border...
