We always suspected it, but now it’s official. The office water cooler is, and has always been, the most likely place you’ll meet the love of your life. It’s a place where everyone goes at least a couple of times a day, and makes small talk; somewhere you can get an idea of what someone […]
Many say that a pet around the office can help workers concentrate and relax them, providing a calming presence when things are going crazy. Not only this, but there is the opportunity of being selected to care for the office hamster/cat/puppy/iguana over the weekend; for some, this responsibility is a career highlight. We, however, believe […]

In an age where everything we do, think, breathe and experience is posted online via Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, or any other social networking site we care to be associated with, there comes the tricky debate between couples of how much of their private lives must be publicised for the world to read about. As some […]
Starting a new job is never massively easy; you’ve got to get in with the boss, show them what you’re made of, you sometimes start at the bottom of the ladder all over again when you’ve been working upwards for many years previously, and then there is of course getting in with the office water […]
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. A wonderful idea, that is until the turbines are foiled by […]
Let’s face it, the last thing you want to think about in your working day is whether or not your handy supply of water bottles for your office water cooler will actually be turning up this week. One of the best ways to take this menial problem off your mind is to set up an […]
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 […]
If you’ve been lucky enough to be in the Big Apple recently, you may have seen advertising for something so incredibly extraordinary and original, that you simply could not resist its charms, and had to pop your self along to see what all the fuss was to be about. ‘The Water Coolers’, brought to life […]
A new initiative to bring bottled water coolers into the backseats of taxis across Dubai has been confirmed to go ahead, following a deal signed between the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in the United Arab Emirates city. The three month trial period for the scheme, during which 350 […]
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 […]
Following the roaring success of our water cooler fable recounted in last week’s blog, we thought we’d share another with you, to pass on around the office water cooler and impress all your workmates. This time round, we hear about the clever crow who, upon stumbling across a pitcher of water with a low water level and thus […]
It’s always lovely to be able to show off your extremely brilliant and knowledgeable self around the office water cooler, and what better to share with your work mates than water-related stories, such as those lovely fables penned by Aesop all those years ago. This week, the moral of the story is “Look before you […]
It seems that more and more we find it hard to make time for those we love, with work and running households taking up the majority of our time. Particularly in this difficult period, during which many are still feeling the affects of the recession, the office becomes more of a first than a second […]
More than anything, or maybe about as much as we love gossiping around the office water cooler, we love our food. You name it, we probably enjoy it, and with our extensive sampling of lunching/dinner munching at restaurants in the capital, we thought we’d share some of our favourite with you. Maybe we’ll even see […]
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 […]
Never short of an amusing story or three to share whilst in the office, we thought we’d blog some of them for you in a new, two-part series that we affectionately call, “Water Cooler London Stories: Bonkers things people say”. Quite catchy, we’re sure you’ll agree. This week, we hear of how our Soph, whilst on the train […]
The well-loved institution that is British comedy seems to have done nothing but get better and better throughout the Naughties. Series such as Peep Show and Green Wing entice audience onto their sofas week after week, along with golden oldies that remain some of the best shows around (who watched Monty Python this Christmas? We […]
We love a good old love story, and we particularly enjoy hearing all about each other’s romantic encounters. Valentine’s Day seems like the perfect opportunity to show the one you love how much you really care, so we quizzed each other on how we made our feelings known on February 14th this year, beginning with […]
The recession of 2009 was one of the most difficult periods in a long time, for a lot of people- small businesses went bankrupt, and many feared their homes would be repossessed. On the 30th December last year, the Government announced that one of the newest budget-saving schemes would be to cut the amount of […]
In an age where security is always tight and we’re being constantly watched, it seems as though even the office water cooler will soon cease to be a private place to be alone with your thoughts, according to legislations in the United States which are being pushed for by Government Officials. With so many people […]
The secretary for Climate Change, Ed Miliband, has recently received criticism for his willingness to spend money on his own office water cooler, whilst encouraging others to make do with drinking from the tap. The Labour MP is said to have claimed over £1,500 for the cooler and water to supply it, all on expenses. […]
Fifty-five employees of a nuclear power plant on the West coast of India have been poisoned by contaminated water, taken from the office water cooler, which is thought to have been laced with tritium by a fellow worker. The substance, used for creating glow-in-the-dark watch hands and for triggering nuclear bombs, sent the fifty-five to […]
