It's the first of August, school holidays are underway, half the office is in Malagar or Tenerife, the sky is cloudless and blue, it's time for a little snifter of something - after all, it's 5 o'clock somewhere! Sangria, sunburn and sand is optional, shades are compulsory, as are silly sunhats. Mine's rainbow striped.

And for all you smokers out there, there's a brand new smoking room extension just for you, separated from the main tavern by this big sheet of lavendar scented glass with two way intercom so you can enjoy the music AND your tobacco habit. No lipstick drawings on the glass please, and no "amusing" suction games either... we've all seen 'Independance Day' and it wasn't that funny!

So... who's got the olives?
