Like me now, he is used to having a "chai wallah" to bring it to my desk

That reminds me of when I was working in the City before we moved 'offshore'. Client co. had an intern that one of the traders kept calling 'Starbucks Wallah'.

We has a Deepjit - the 'j' is pronounced softly, rather like 'sh'.

I worked with a Wankhede before.

He seemed to be having trouble with the coffee machine. Not sure I'd trust him with a computer

If he is recently arrived from India he will not have a clue how a coffee machine works. Like me now, he is used to having a "chai wallah" to bring it to my desk

I caught that the other day.

I read that book over thirty years ago, but listening to the radio I think that I did not really understand it back then. It is such a horrid and scary story.

The World State is built upon the principles of Henry Ford's assembly line—mass production, homogeneity, predictability, and consumption of disposable consumer goods.

Nah, It'll never happen.

There's an Indian woman here called Swastika FFS!

Guess it's a symbol of peace in whatever sect of Hinduism she belongs to.

Once had a guy working for me called Hardwarewaller....

Apparently his grand father sold hardware

Indeed. One of the many things that makes the bench fun. I nearly cried in last week's Dad's Army.

Can he be testing with Selenium and coding Java plenty cheapnessly with much quickness? If so we may be having jobbings for him.

At the risk of being flamed.......

I have worked at sites where (at least) 100 men look scarily like Bob Shawadi.... and several of the women too!

Beat me to it. There were about 30 of them at my last clientco. The women with moustaches were scariest, but they did have more brains than the Bobs.
