    That's a result isn't it?

    On a slightly different subject I once worked with a guy who was continually burping. That was down to diet (too acidic?), and chain smoking. He did see a doctor about it.

    This thread has made me laugh, a lot. It's spooky however, because I was going to create almost the same thread, but about a female colleague.

    She's fairly unbearable at the best of times, but my main issue with her is her sneaky flatulence. I thought I was the only one to notice it, but the guy next to me sent me this email the other day while she was at my desk talking to me:

    'FFS! Why does she have to come over here and fart all the time? I mean, there's not even anyone sitting near her over there, so she could guff the place up and no one would be any the wiser. But no, she has to come and foul up OUR DESKS. She's disgusting'.

    He's right, too. She generally does seem to reek of bum. Really reek of it, it often smells very fresh.

    No idea how to tackle it, but it is actually pretty grim.

    Still funny though as he ate it anyway.
    School dinner? He probably wouldn't have noticed.

    God knows what I had over the weekend to give today's flatulence but I am sure it never contained turnip or egg or a canister of compressed methane but today's output evidence suggests otherwise.

    Several times today I had to nip out to the foyer faking a mobile call to let rip.

    It's more likely he eats a rubbish diet lacking in fruit, veg and other adequate sources of fibre.

    One of the young male brats in my family had a habit of farting. It took 6 family members to buy him gifts of fruit and get him to eat them before the problem ceased.

    Mind you laxative loaded biscuits may work..........

    Just in case any ladies are reading this, mine tastes like strawberries soaked in champagne, so I am told.
