Women should be banned from talking in the office

That's because they haven't been drowned out by the Football bores

Absolutely. I did a voluntary thing once when I was stuck in a van for ages with a couple of blokes who endlessly talked about football. After desperately searching my almost non-existent fund of sporting knowledge all I could think of to contribute was "Didn't that Danny Blanchflower have big ears?"

PS Glad it's not just me who posts in the wrong forums.

You need to be part of the conversation to motivate them and make them feel it is all worth while. A simple line such as 'Wow if that is 10 days then I am certainly going to have a go at bagging you in another 30' or something of that ilk to make them feel desirable and wanted. How ever tempting lines such as '10 days? Hope you took out a yearly membership' are to be avoided.
