I was talking to his PA about his singing and apparently one day recently (I assume 04/08/2005) she said to him:

"Oh you've been listening to Wham then?"
"What?"
"You were singing Wham"
"Was I? What?"

So he's obviously unaware that he's doing it. God knows how because it's so loud, but then everything he does is loud, one assumes because he likes to let everyone know he runs the place.

The 02/08/2005 one was particularly bizarre because we were talking about something we were working on in the lab, when he walks in, goes up to the big machine we have in the corner and exclaims "Niger!" then turns around and starts talking to us like nothing strange had happened. I found it very hard not to laugh out loud on that occasion. This was the time that the big news was the famine in Niger.

I think tourettes might be the explanation - he is prone to fits of swearing too.

I love this thread. I would freak if my last boss ever sang "I love a man with affection, whether I'm right or wrong"

The best thing about this is that the 7th was a Friday.

We are wondering here whether the singing may be a symptom of tourettes.

He kept trying to sing a line in a song but never seemed to get further than the second syllable. He did that repeatedly through the day. He is a fucking nutcase.

Heh. we were working on in the lab, when he walks in, goes up to the big machine we have in the corner and exclaims "Niger!" then turns around and starts talking to us like nothing strange had happened.

If he doesn't have tourettes, I'll mistake my wife for a hat and then eat it.
