Funky Fish Night Club

I have that friday feeling and apparently the place to be seen is Funky Fish in Brighton.  I have been told that not only does it play loads of James Brown but it also holds Salsa dance classes.  Our in office Salsa King Jon Jon loves to get down and crack out some smooth moves.  For those of you lucky enough to be signed up to a Quest Overseas South America GAP trip you might get a taste of Jon Jon's silky moves at the training weekend this month!

Man Flu an epedemic!!!!

The worst thing in the world... "MAN FLU"!!! is sweeping through the office like a forest fire. It's awful the male contingent in the office are dropping like flies and getting any sympathy from females is like getting blood from a stone.

The survey of 2,000 people found 64% of men thought they had flu and took a day off compared with 45% of women.
