Annoying temp at work watching videos

So, with a few months to go until our reduncancies, there has been this temp at work, he is quite annoying with constant yacking, often asking colleagues very personal questions, and most annoyingly, watching videos on his work computer.  Just the other day the team leader finally walked past his desk and reminded him he wasn't being paid to watch online videos, and rightly so.

Ties in with this Quora.com debate about employers monitoring work computers.  The link goes straight to a reply where the poster has said they didn’t actively monitor why their team was doing, but would notice if they were playing videos on YouTube etc.

Now comes the crux of the annoyance to me, if I was being interviewed against this guy for only one position, the chances are he would have been chosen.  He has the gift of the gab that I, as a person with Asperger, do not.  He would be brilliant at "selling himself", yet once employed, has that inclination to time-waste.
