office politics - a sensitive issue

there is nothing more annoying (we are sure there is, but it's all relative) than going to the toilet at work, and meeting a colleague who likes to have a good old chat/ bleat/ talk

we are not sure when this transition happened, but the toilet has become the new water cooler
the rule is that we're not there for the socialising, it's a different kind of business time... so having to carry a conversation after you have gone into your cubical is definitely a no go area. this is not a grey/ conscious matter.. it's a clear no

although google is not proving helpful, there are written rules and laws about this... and even if there weren't, it's plain wrong

off course, all rules are null and void if the other person is a hottie (especially if he happens to have a map of how to get out of prison tattoo)

what's your style?

we have devised a fun and informative quiz for you to find out what your personal style is in order for you to dress accordingly ... because in this day and age its important to fit into a pigeon hole category so as to not confuse people

segment #4: what to wear for a quiet drink at the pub

we frequently mention 'the westbourne' on this blog and the variety of clientele it attracts. its a firm favourite of ours and it seems like word has got out....

construction - it’s getting more challenging

one truth about recessions is that they are egalitarian. with the exception of FMCGs, most other industries have had to pick up their game. one particular field is that of construction according to our research, construction can be categorised into: building, heavy/civil and industrial (it is at this point that we stopped researching construction)

but being a construction worker is a tough game – not only is it labour intensive, but they, along with their clearly straight male colleagues, have to work hard to attract female attention. this fact, coupled with the current economic situation (increased competition), whistling and just generally yelling ‘hey hot stuff’ at a female passerby no longer cuts it

i was pleasantly surprised yesterday, when, as i was walking to work, one started singing ‘ baby, baby, i’d get down on my knees for you..’ i turned around and smiled. it’s rude not to acknowledge such a heart felt expression

he seemed like a good guy, but as i don’t really see a future for us (he does not live in w2), i have since changed my walking route to work

world exclusive: M&N are engaged

they met while hiking through the himalayas... N was looking for an affordable synthetic leg (he had lost his while skiing in chamonix), and M was an aid worker helping underprivileged goats

they told us the good news (that they are engaged) when we recently caught up with them. a close family friend also confirmed their allegations

it’s just marvellous
