No, Burge, which i think is ye olde Pommie for "bridge" or something.

But when I flew Lufthansa from Bangkok to London the hostie called me "Herr Burger" and started talking to me in German. So I had to tell her "I'm sorry, but I don't speak a word, and where I come from a Hair Burger is something very different to what you think it is". Sadly I was sitting next to my (now) work mate, so the nickname has stuck.

Why do you hate him mate? Not that I care for him one way or t'other, but that's quite some depth of feeling you've got going on there.

Might have to get aussie in here to fully explain but the gist of it is he's an unoriginal, overrated, up himself ****. His beef with Nas just the tip of the iceberg there.

Fair nuff. Suppose I've kind of forgotten what it's like to be so passionate about music.
About 8 years ago the music played at my place started being the Wiggles. Only just starting to listen again regularly to grown up stuff tbh.

Edit: I don't want to be rude, but I can probably do without an explanation by aussie

Did you address her back as "Furr Burger"?

If you get him in, can you promise to keep him in here so CC and the football thread can have a spell of less dire?

Happens regularly to me. Possibly because my job is so dire its untrue. Hardest part is suppressing the giggle when the conversation in your head its getting quite entertaining, whereas in the real world the manager is going through performance stats etc.....
