Calling All Office Fans

   Who's been to the Coventry Conference? Ah yes, the fictional Coventry Conference, co-ordinated by the equally fictional Eric Hitchmough. A man whom I've never fictionally met, or even seen, yet know so much about. From his little withered hand, the wanking claw, to his signature catchphrase, 'I don't agree with that in the workplace!' Eric is... and that is what I want.

   If I've lost you, I can only assume you're not quite the fan of The Office that I called for in the title of this post, or I'm not the writer that I think I am! Allow me to explain...

   The Office is the single greatest sitcom of all time, sure, so it makes sense for it's legion of fans to have a social outlet to congregate and quote the show to their heart's content. The Facebook group 'Do You Not Know Who ERIC HITCHMOUGH Is'DYNKWEHI, provides such a platform.

   With it's mix of quality quoting, imaginative imagery and creative commenting, it's an Office fans mecca. I'll share with you a handful of my favourite posts from fanboys below. Or girls, they could be a woman. Women are as filthy as men. Not naming any names - I don't know any - but women are dirty.


   Following on from the above posts, I thought it was time to put my money where my mouth is. Not that I'd ever shouted my mouth off about posting to the group. In total the 3 posts above garnered 4.1k likes plus... 4.1k like tops! But how many could I achieve with the same amount of posts? 5k? 6k?

   The answer? 36, or something like that over all. And that included friends and family liking out of sympathy. My most successful post, with 75% of the likes, a landslide you might say, is below. Monkeh!


   Request to join the group and you could be accepted at your peril. As for every Tom Fox, Gaz Black and Matt Yerosimou there's a Susan Baskett, and the good people of DYNKWEHI are punishing when it comes to a really rubbish post. Just see Susan's mad ramblings about a DVD player below. To be fair, it was a DVD of Ricky Gervais' 'Life on the Road', so she got what she deserved.

Christmas Time...

...Mistletoe and Wine, Who's watching Michael Heseltine? With his dog on the fire, cos it shat on the tree,  Time to get Anne to make him some tea. No idea what Cliff meant by any of that, but it does make me feel festive. Truth be told, I actually love this time of year. Without breaking into song again, it's time to both reflect and look to the future. If 2014 has taught me one thing, it has to be the hours you can save opening a pizza correctly: For me, pre-2014 pizza delivery always involved scissors, which in turn always involved finding scissors and not running whilst holding them. Little did I know about the other technique, akin to opening a packet of pre-washed baby leaf spinach, until my parents sat me down and pointed out my shortcomings. Whilst this alone provides me with the essentials to make it in the big wide world, there's no point getting ahead of myself. Priorities for 2015 include overcoming my fear of the bell not sounding when I pr...

"Do Another Blog Post"...

...was the strange demand I thought I heard today, as I walked past a rabble of hoodlums on my way to the Co-op to buy a pre-packaged sandwich for work tomorrow. "OK" I replied nervously, without really considering if I either wanted to or had the time. What followed was a more aggressive "Do another fucking blog post!", from a knife-wielding member of the group. It was at this point I realised I had my headphones in and couldn't make out what they'd actually been saying. I quickened my pace, in fear I'd misread the situation completely and they were high and wanted to sexually abuse me. Given that my blog only has 4 followers it is likely they were talking about something else entirely, but the thought of doing another post had been implanted and as I walked a different route home it was all I could think about. I recalled foolishly mentioning in my my last post that I'd review Potdog , the bunless hotdog, and also create my very own alternati...
