About six months ago our DOM read out a load of new rules including:

1. No swearing at all!

2. No flatulence on IPS.

Swearing law was broken within half an hour by the cage meister! :Very Happy
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

I refuse to work in those conditions.

The people I work with seem to eat and drink nothing but curry and Guinness.

If some scumbag lets one rip on the sorting, I go somewhere else until it's cleared, and if a manager has a problem they can go speak to the charming individual responsible.

I fear I may be one of the worst culprits in my office :oops: but thankfully I have some pretty tough competition, so the lads (usually the porters) get the blame! :nana
I did have to accept full responsibility once; It was decided that the gut wrenching foulness I managed to create smelt like a "lady fart", and as i was the closest thing to a lady around that morning, I did "woman up" and take the full blame/glory.

ive dropped a few ''dirty bombs'' in my time. i cant see how they could put a ban on bodily functions. even the queen drops her guts. you would become quite ill if you kept those emissions in you're body.

New catagories are discovered all the time.
However, such is the dedication to this "sport", there's been a few mishaps......
...and we've had to introduce a total ban on SHARTING on IPS

Some posties let rip while on sorting(the silent ones are the deadliest)....forcing other staff members to flee in panic until the odour disperses itself...(some odours though can linger for quite some time)....I am just wondering whether this just affects our orifice..(sorry..office)..or is this a national problem ....or maybe I have blown it out of all proportion ...any tips on how to fight the farters would be like a breath of fresh air.
WTF! :d'oh! :d'oh!

Calm yourself down kiddo.....it's all tongue in cheek stuff.....go back to the union room.
Just join in fart with them and then you have an orchestra and then fart all you need is love :nana

I used to hve a lad walk round to my frame to ask me some unimportant/irrelevant question.

It was only when he'd left that i realised the real reason for his visit :Sick

If I was a boss, anyone caught farting would have their frame moved into the toilet.
