    What kind of presentations are ye two doing.?



    Or by sounds of it you are doing "demonstrations" .
    Wonder who your audience is ?

    All men .......... or all women ......

    Kind of a flashy dance number followed by a Q&A we find it works better than boring people with statistics and powerpoint, usually goes down quite well, demographic is 50/50 men to women I would say

    Go on then tell us what this "new and exciting" product is.

    I hope my partner doesn't see this...

    It's a line of clothing based on those 'balance bands' that supposedly increases your physical, mental and possibly sexual prowess, it's a little bit scammy but the placebo effect can work wonders, especially if you sell it the right way

    Really don't want to make an issue of this, my description of the product was ample enough, the product is immaterial to the advice I sought when posting.

    If I pm you you'll post it here and every time someone clicks on it fro this thread it'll be stored in the sites log, they'll see a high proportion of their traffic is coming from this thread and I'll be unemployed, which I don't need as I've recently found out I have a child on the way

    How do you feel about being "rasberried"?

    Yeah as in help with the website launch and do some initial promotion, the website can only be launched once and the clue to the ephemeral nature of my initial promotion job is found in the name.

    This is like a cross examination in a BBC courtroom drama, but I'm like the innocent kid that John Thaw's character is defending despite his implausible story and you're like the evil toff QC who wants to see me burn just because he can.

    First I thought he was just making a move on me, I told him I wasn't gay and he laughed, he claimed that was just how he celebrated success, I actually believe him, he talks about women all the time and doesn't do anything else that would be a bit odd for a straight person.

    So would I.

    OP - coat your belly in something nasty - think spices, or aftershave, or whatever - one more raspberry and then you're off the hook. Deddies best boy might decide to stick to a high five.

    He actually helped get me the job, think I won him over, I'm actually fairly endearing

    Now that I've quashed any lingering suspicions, can anyone tell me a way to bring up the raspberries again?

    Sorry to hear about your trouble, Urabell. I can see how this might make you feel a little uncomfortable, especially if your partner has a mustache, rendering the tactile sensation of said "raspberry" unbearably ticklish.

    Can't think of any movies offhand that might help give you insight into resolving this situation, so I spent some time ruminating on the best way to eliminate this pesky behaviour. Best I can come up with is crushing a few chillies and smearing the resulting fluid on the area where your irksome colleague is likely to plant the next raspberry. Might take a few goes to get him. Don't get disheartened: just try to think of it as a very unusual game of battleships.

    On the off chance that this is actually real, next time he tells you to pull up your shirt, just tell him it's not something you are comfortable with.

    Smear poo on your stomach, eagerly lift up your shirt and rub your stomach in his face.

    My discomfort is palpable, I kind of need a way to phase out the raspberries rather than a full raspberry embargo (decent name for a band imo) sticking with him might help me secure a permanent position in the company

    If you stick with him you'll definitely end up in some position. Might not be permanent though
