    I don't even come on charltonlife for the football chat anymore, in fact every single one of my favourite threads has had nothing to do with football!

    How's the smell mate?

    I bet you regret bottling it last night, don't you?

    Pussy.

    Katrien has to do it after she meets up with Roland. Of course she has got her head up is arse.

    I bet the bloke was proper baffled last night on the train home.

    Was asked to stay late by my Manager ... Yet all he did was give me a free pint of beer ... I hope he doesnt think I'm gay

    Brilliant, he'll probably stop washing completely to try and put cables off!

    Come on Cables (other 'b' pending), it's a Friday - the perfect day to drop the "you stink" bombshell and scuttle off into the weekend.

    CL needs this, your colleagues need this...

    It might convince him to stop using the Organic Tibetan Yakshit conditioner he bought at the Body Shop.

    Update - my sense of smell is such that although I could catch a whiff of it earlier in the week, it didn't seem that bad yesterday, but I was told it was.

    Anyway, I handed it back to my MD telling him I'd bottled it. I even told him I sought advice on here.

    Today according to the girl who really had an issue with it, he doesn't smell. Hopefully that's the last of it now and although I may have come across as a 'weak man' on here for not dealing with it (there were even calls from some members to ban me, GIFs ridiculing me), I'm glad I didn't have to do it.

    Thanks once again to Mehmet - I was all set to lead with his advice, but the cowardice set in

    So basically it seems like the girl who had an issue with it was causing trouble and he doesnt smell in the slightest?

    If thats the case it sounds like it was a relief that you didnt speak with him

    I think you should just get him in your office on your own and say:

    "We all think you're a great bloke, we really like you and we want to keep you. But we're honest about things here, because we're a team and to be honest with you, mate, you stink a bit. Can't dance round it, like I say, that's how we roll here. Sort out the body odour, and everything's fine here and no more to be said. Have a good weekend. See you Monday."

    I would just be nicely blunt. The man needs to know.

    Ha ha just realised I have come a bit late to this one :smiley:
    Cabbies - well done on the bottling, and leaving it to the MD top decision! :smile:
    He gets paid to tell people they have an olfactory irritation issue :wink:

    If anything I think his lack of whiff means he posts on here, read your post, realised it was him as you went into great detail like you took him for a free beer, you were waiting for two other people to leave etc and he now has this whole thread printed off ready for the tribunal!

    Nice one cables!

    Get the stinker and the girl who had the issue in a room. Tell stinker that the girl had complained about his stench and he needs to sort himself out. stinker will know he pongs and the girl will never come to you with any issues again.

    On the down side, the MD will probably not be too pleased with that type of action, but at least he won't think he employs a big girls blouse.

    Seriously (yes I can do serious) I didn't envy you at all when reading your original post. Can't be a nice situation for you. Can see why you swerved it.

    Cowardly/weak management is a big issue in this country nowadays.

    More commonly known as 'Man or Mouse Syndrome'.

    mate this is the future in your office if there are a few ladies working there

    " hey he didnt tell Stinky he pongs !! he bottled it "

    "Ok ill do it"

    2 nano seconds later said lady walks up to the guy

    " oii stinky here is a bar of soap and a flannel--use it or fuck off"

    and you will now be forever known as the Bollockless Wonder

    I'm not gonna lie - I've bottled it.

    Thanks for your advice but I've choked on this

    No If's No Buts,,,,,,,get it done tonight. I even have a work colleague gripped by this. Mainly because he's the the guy I get to tell smelly people they smell and he clearly wants advice for the next time it happens.

    One of my most embarassing memories was having to do gymnastics at school, and being held upside down by some guy named Yuri.

    Let rip right in his face in front of the entire group I was with.

    Seeing as you took the first bit of my advice, have you got the clothes pegs too?

    Fuck it, just chicken out and bring some clothes pegs in tomorrow.

    Also...

    When you poured him a beer and waited for everyone to leave, does this mean that rather than actually tell him, you in fact had an awkward - if rather smelly - romantic post-work pint in an empty office?
