We, however, believe […]

Our friends across the pond (the Atlantic pond, that is) in Minnesota seem to have the ‘green’ thing down to a T, with $3.3 million being spent on environmentally friendly innovations such as wind turbines, as well as residents funding their own solar panels.

Give the gift of an office water cooler this Christmas

Let’s face it, being the boss at Christmas time is not necessarily masses of fun- you’re giving out bonuses, organising office parties (which, to be fair, you get to enjoy once the stressful part is out the way), and sorting out the secret Santa presents which you’re not sure anyone will actually like anyway….why not […]

Water cooler fables: The dog and the meat

In the last of our office water cooler-friendly fables series, lovingly penned by Aesop to help us avoid falling into tricky situations, we hear about the dog who simply wasn’t willing to accept what he had, and thus lost in whilst striving for something he thought would be even more satisfying; this, of course, turned […]

Summer is well and truly on the way, and many of us will be jetting off to exotic locations to get away from the UK, from the office water cooler routine, to soak up the sun somewhere where it is more-or-less guaranteed (rather than prayed for, like here at home). If you’ve got a long-haul […]
