    Start sniffing as well, getting louder and louder over a period of an hour and then hawk up a big green gilbert. Spit it into your hankie, look at it and say "Ah, thats much better."

    If it is annoying your client manager as well you might just get a rate rise.

    Perhaps start with a verbal enquiry first, "Hoy C**T, will you stop that f*****g sniffing. it's getting right on my tits".

    If that doesn't work, see above.
    Typical bedwetter approach. 'Excuse me c**t'. Real men punch first and ask questions later.

    Politely ask him to get it sorted. You a man or a mouse.

    Don't have to be rude, but if its affecting your concentration then needs rectifying.

    Speaking from personal experience only, I’d suggest asking him politely what is causing the sniff as he could be purely attention seeking and a hypochondriac . Hay fever can be very unpleasant and I’d suggest showing some empathy. Failing this, buy your co-worker a mini Kleenex pack on your way home tonight to show your compassion.
    This too will pass.

    Buy him some kleenex and tell him to go to the toilet.
