Yes it's official we’re going a little mug mad! After some extensive planning (kind of) and careful preparation, we are almost ready to go into production of our new mugs… Keep watching for their launch and intriguing ways you can get your hands on one this Summer/Autumn... but dont be fooled, these are no ordinary mugs, these are rather special.. more coming soon!

Well if you can, it could certain make for some interesting characteristics when it comes to the hyperactive team. With the sun beating down and the temperature rising (even with the air-con on!) A recent splash out by our MD on our local ice-cream van saw a much welcomed and eclectic mix of flavours and sizes and a few statements of position.

While most of us including the most recent member of the team (Peter) opted for the traditional, rather modest 99p fake and Liam the politically discreet choc-ice, it’s no surprise that our illustrious MD James went for the Magnum gold. Although he says we had the choice.. we think he like’s the size and feeling of power his Magnum purchase gave him. Next time we have all pledge to ‘go large’ on the ‘dipped.. Fat Boy’… a 99p taken to the extreme with 2 flakes, £2 worth of silky smooth ice-cream.. all dipped in rich milk chocolate. The battle has begun!

With the World Cup firmly underway and everything to play for on Wednesday, it seems the competition in the office has come to a head with Liam out performing both James and the other guys when it comes to completing their collections.

Although some cheating has been claimed, it's likely Liam will be first to the post with only 2 more to complete his collection. Hot on his tail is Peter and James though, so who knows! If anyone out there has a Nam Song-Chol or a Thomas Kahlenberg then you may be in a great position to bargain.

Well despite the onslaught of grounded planes, suspended flights, closed airports and the phenomenal surge in euro tunnel usage over the last month, it seems so far (touch wood) we’ve managed to dodge the invasion of Ash mania for the main part. Mike got back just after, Roger just before and Bob.. well, he decided to delay... but it's all been pretty good. A daily watch on flight updates and travel news and some careful planning just in case and it’s all good. pheww! Bring on the hurricanes, the floods, the wind, the rain.. we’ll take them all on! Never give up, Never surrender!
