Correct, an unlikely course of action.

However, you could take the more subtle line that common courtesy dictates that you tell him you are considering an offer you received recently, and, if he then voluntarily expresses interest in matching it to retain you, negotiation could proceed. On the other hand, his response and attitude could help you make up your mind to take the offer.

My desk will have everything adhered to it, key board, monitors, coffee cup etc etc and when I fling it skywards some nice soft close gas struts will slowly lower everything back into place.

Anger released, order is maintained. Perfect. :D

Take the pro rata LSL and the new opportunity. Unless you've got a chance of progression in your current role.

My 2c is that I wouldn't do that either.

Either don't say a word and stay where you are, or make up your mind to move and resign.

Once you entertain moving, even if framed in the most appropriate way, it can or may lead to irreparable damage to your relationship with that employer. This is not always true but I wouldn't take the risk if there was any thought of staying.
