    I could never imagine having that conversation at work! Certainly not in my current firm. I worked in an Embassy in 1990 for a few years - and it was really drummed into us the "PC" issue not that many took notice of it there!! In other jobs it has been adhered to except for when I worked in Hawkes Bay - but don't get me started on that!!

    Would I flirt - crikey not in this firm no talent at all. Mind you at the Embassy "Oh my God" while I'm still naive now (with regard if someone is coming on to me) - god I was green then!! I think once I was a bit lippy (god forbid that would not be me!!) to a FSO (Foreign Service Officer) - he was about to go back to his own country so he thought he would pay me back - handcuffed me to him and took me to an underground room which I never new existed, only long enough to kiss me - hauled me out, undid the handcuffs and said - you have never seen or know about this room right! (Shit what a shame he was on duty, I would loved to have explored - the room that is!!). Why did I leave that job!!

    I haven't felt the need to flirt ever since I married the perfect woman.

    Just to make you kiwi's feel better, it's not any different back in shitey blighty. Could never figure out why our EMEA director put the girl who used to answer the telephone in charge of a team of 40 engineers. Oh yeah, she was fit and laughed at his jokes.

    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    If it makes him/ her feel better and lightens the day up, or if it ends up saving you time/money/grief, then bloody oath yes ! Give it hell
    However , pick the right time/place/person. No good chatting up the gorgeous receptionist and then having some huge, angry gorilla type get niggly and finding he is the boss !!

    Boneing the office girl at lunch time should be part of every red-blooded Kiwi males job description.

    Flirtings for school kids.

    Maybe you (or the person in question) is just an incorrigible flirt and can't help it?
    I've been told that I flirt constantly, but I can't help it, it's not intentional, I don't realise I'm doing it, it's just the way I am, but at least I have started to notice it and have been trying hard not to as I have realised it could be considered disrespectful to my beloved.
    "Hi, my name is Trudes and I'm flirtaholic".
    As long as it's just harmless flirting and you (or person in question) know it's not going anywhere, then it shouldn't be a major problem.

    Duuude. Old chicks are the best to flirt with...if there aren't any homophobic men around.
