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.

"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...

Dad's Got Kidney Stones...

...which is insensitive of him to say the least. Free lifts to work are completely out of the window for next few weeks, and whilst he struggles through a simple out patient procedure, I've got to get up 45 minutes earlier to catch the bus. That's 5 whole snoozes on a standard alarm clock. Talking of work, there's been some exciting developments in the past month. I'm now 99% certain that it's Audi who employ me and not Aldi , although the fact both are German still leaves me with that indistinguishable nagging doubt.  Secondly, as of next week, ' Tommy the weird temp ' becomes ' Tommy the permanent ' in a new role. It's a radical shake-up, the likes of which haven't been seen on these shores since March 19th 2014. I am of course referring here to Cliff D'Arcy's use of the term 'biggest shake-up' in a headline about  budgets and pensions . It might just be me, but since my meteoric rise through the ranks of the ...
