Do you know the words to the song "I know a song that'll get on your nerves" Shortie? it goes like this -
I know a song that'll get on your nerves
get on your nerves
get on your nerves
I know a song that'll get on your nerves
get on your nerves
get on your nerves
Repeat as many times as you need to

Another idea hum loudly to yourself.I used to work beside someone who hummed to himself all day - it drove me mental.

Sadly I think Stu who sits the other side of me might thump me before either suggestion winds her up.

Yes, I did suggest I'd swap our stuff over one morning before he got in. His reply was that if I did he'd hand in his notice

Or I could be like the other guy (is he called Duck Man?) who is oblivious to the Duck that sits on his head

I used to tease my big sis when we were kids, as the crown on her head looked like a Ducks a75e.

What is it sickness?, or acid reflux from the stuffing? Perhaps, he's allergic to feathers!

Start suffering from crippling migraine headaches, where you need peace and quiet.

Have to wear headphones to counteract your tinnitus, medical dispensation from boss.

Contract ear infections.

That old favourite, be a grumpy mare, its that time of month.

Mr Shortie would dissagree there.... he'd say I was grumpy mare all the time

But with the mergers going on in our place at the moment, who knows who I'll be sitting next to next month, if I'm not on 'Garden Leave' .....
