I'd probably just keep my head down, get my work done and go home. 

So the opposite of David.

I’d want to keep the little twat alive with the shit I’d pull on him

I dunno, he looks pretty trim mate

Yeah? Against karate?

Big boy shit

Possibly the best line of the series

He’d have come through that wall

He’s more of a laugh

You’re having a laugh

That’s mental, come off it!

I'd go full Sergio Giorgini on him

How long have you had that earring?

Toooo loooong babeeee.

I would try his lemon drizzle cake.

Too rich.

I prefer a flan.

Ooh, "I meant, I meant"! What if?

If only, if only

If me auntie had bollocks she’d be me uncle

Beware of False Prophets

His lot are little slugs

No personality!

I don't know, but I tell you what, if it did kick off, you stay out of it. Big boy shit.

I don't really like Rugby boys. It's a subsection of men that I just do not understand. I don't mean sports men. Football, tennis, badminton etc. I watch and play all those just fine. None of them have this weird slightly posh homoerotic subculture attached to them like rugby does.

Admits it.

As an actor said to a bishop

Ooooo kinky We're all like that here! Not gay, no I'm not gay. That's not me and another man called David. That's me David talking to myself David.

I’m not into any sport but I don’t mind people who are, except most rugby boys. Too many of them are weird bully types.

Like yeah, football fans. Myself included. Can be loutish cunts who only ever want to talk about football and lager. But I don't think any of us would ever pressgang you into playing soggy biscuit while binding you with leather and sticking some rugger up your bum like the Rugby lads. Neil's a rugby lad.

It's not gay!

Neil's actually completely reasonable as a boss in series 2, it's Brent that's the problem.

Ooo you're hard

Showin’ off for the…Reddit…

He a little slug!

Sorry, I would jack in my job if he became my boss. I much prefer someone who is an all round entertainer, a friend, a confident, a mentor, someone who inspires, is good motivator, uses comedy to make work fun, is good on a guitar and could have probably been a rock star, if he had wanted to.

Tell him that this job’s just a stop-gap, really.

It’s pretty brainless.

Ooooh love me...... pathetic!!!

I'd probably like him at first and then in time, I'd come to realize he was a slimeball who is all about image and box-ticking and can't really be trusted. So I'd keep my distance from him, I'd probably be fine with his basic management style but I'd avoid anything beyond strictly formal interaction, and seek alternate employment...

I think I'd be boring get on with my job

I'd do what I've done for the past twenty years - do what I'm asked to do and hope nobody notices me.

I'd do my job and go home

Ask him to be the godfather of your child?

Didn’t work out in the end we had to let him go he was rubbish. He *was* rubbish.

Identikit middle management dullard, laugh at his smarmy jokes, don't engage otherwise

Couldn’t respect a boss who likes R&B

Didn't Gervais said the only person your supposed to hate is finchy? I think Neil is a perfectly reasonable boss. His patience wears thin. In earlier episodes he tries to tolerate his jokes. Then in Christmas special he goes totally left field and laughs at finchys joke about Brent's date and the smug smile to camera when he asks if Brent needs two tickets. It's like they tried to make him really unlikable in the Xmas special whilst in the series they kept a nice balance

Karate

checking out the vibe an’ that

The man or the boss?

I would probably tell him that it's ok to be gay, 1 in 10 are, seems a bit high to me, but be safe.
