While the body is not advocating that all employee's turn up in beach wear, they are urging employers' to be flexible during the heatwave.

The G8 is in full swing and the world leaders are demonstrating their charisma, or lack of it for all things hip hoppy.

George Bush, that Texas Ranger (Cowboy of the Wild West) has been shooting his mouth off again.

But this time it's not been 'Go Get 'em folks, Yee Ha.'

Bush and Blair's initmate exchange, unaware it was being recorded ,appears to be two rudeboys talking gangsta rap with Bush appearing to be in touch with Ali G from 'da Staines Massif, yer.'

Anyone suffering from lack of football?

I must confess waking up last Monday morning realising that the World Cup wasn't on bought a lone tear to my eye!

What was even more painful was coming in after a gruelling days work, only to find that the evening was confined to nothing more than listening to the news and hearing about Zidane's bust up with Materazzi.
