Just watchin Sky news with some guy at Nab Capital discussign the interest rate cut, and in the background, (live tv), some "big" guy stands up, turns grimmacing, and points and shouts whilst pointing agressively at some fellow worker out of shot!

OK he never lamped him one, but it did look pretty funny as it was right behind the interviewee, not in the far distance!! laugh

Could he be known on here........?

Excuse the Typo in the title, of course its nab, not nad!!!

Not an uncommon thing on a broking / trading floor although i can't imagine his employers will be happy if its been 'accidentally' broadcast to viewers!

Not Uncommon? More like an everyday occurance.

Been a fair few fistfights too. One of our dealers never had anyone start on him, but I suppose being 6ft 7 and 18 odd stone of ugly many times broken nose rugby player MAY have had something to do with it.

We also used to have an Italian on the Bunds desk (I don't know why) but my word when he got worked up, he'd stand up, hurl italian abuse down the telephone, and his arms, hell, they were like they were on speed.......Used to be small bets placed on how what time each day he would get off his chair and begin the human fan impressions.
