    You've got four minutes.

    Good luck Cabbles. I would always say start off by taking a good, deep breath - in this case make sure you do it before you're in the room with him.

    3. Bad wind
    4. Smelly feet
    5. Fishy foods
    6. Other body odours
    7. Spicy foods
    8. Meaty foods
    9. Cooked vegetables

    I used to work in an office with 6 others. One bloke used to do the most pungent farts ever. He would just say 'pardon me' once the waft had reached someone. Seriously, it was unbearable to breathe and we used to go out. It was so bad one day that when I washed my hair that evening I could smell it again. But we all just put up with it - tbh there was nothing we could do.

    Jeez @Arsenetatters...were you under his desk when he let rip???? :wink:

    I'll be pissed off if the report back is "he took it really well, no problems and thanked me for making him aware".

    I want swearing, violence and weapons (preferably, but not limited to, a gun).

    You've really brightened up my afternoon @cabbles - not going to lie, I hope you have a few more embarrassing incidents lined up because they're cracking threads.

    I hope part two is a full on stench of excrement though. Preferably with some shit stains thrown in for good measure. "How would you teach a coworker to wipe properly?" would be excellent.

    You do know that reeking of beer isn't a "normal" office smell - and just because he uses Brut or Old Spice isn't a reason "to have a word".
