I Sit Next to Gasbag Bess

Don't know how well they travel, but as they say in Llanelli, they're lush.

You mean Llush? Innet.

[Mikey]

Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Don't be such a tease!

I've been tempted to try making them but have no idea where to get a proper bake stone from.... mind you, it's probably a good job I don't make them for my waistline's sake!

Lol, haven't been as far as Llanelli... they live in Pontypandy with Fireman Sam!

I don't use a bakestone, I use a large non stick frying pan on the lowest heat setting I can get of my ceramic hob. It takes about 6 mins per welsh cake both sides, but they rise to juicy masterpieces.

You mean Llush? Innet.

Noooo...butt, lush can't have a Ll in front of it, I might gob on me food.

Oh poor you - that would drive me mad.

Have you thought about turning the tables - ie, walk in, say what did you have for breakfast I having blah blah, did you get wet blah blah, before she can ask you and maybe she might get fed up to o!!! worth a try :-)

of course also trying to do your job as well.

Also maybe say to her, I am planning a 5 min break at 10am ( for example) fancy a little chat then - if you are allowed that. Maybe let your boss into it, tell him/her its your way of trying to shut her up.

Good luck

suppose it's too late to pretend you don't speak english?!

nearly fell of my sofa with laugter

Could you just go random on her? Terry Pratchet, in one of his children's books, Johnny and the Bomb, has a wonderful character called Mrs Tachyon, who seems to cope with random shouts of "That's what YOU think!" "Millennium hand and shrimp!" "Hats!" etc. It will confuse the bejazuz out of her at least!

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.

[Mikey]

Get in early and swop seats with Stu, tell him he can ride shortgun for a change.

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

[Mikey]

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

There's a dude in our office that hums, especially when it's warm! T-a'int pleasant!

[Mikey]

I bet he's not a pleasant plucker, he's a pleasant pluckers son.

No, he's a pheasant plucker really.
