Keep work and social life completely separate where possible. I almost always avoided going on 'works socials', in the evenings or at weekends. Drinking and watching footie is what you do with your mates, not your colleagues. Unless you actually have any actual mates at work, obviously - there were a couple of other reprobates I used to have a regular Friday lunchtime sesh with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the noisy ones are usually the more voluminous ones, and that's generally a more inert breakdown of the less toxic foods. The more air, the more diluted the evil. The silent ones are smaller and more vicious, because the emission is a much purer, more concentrated dose of evil. The stuff that really gets between your teeth and you can taste at the back of your throat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorter version - silent ones have a higher concentration of faecal particles to gas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
