The nights are getting darker and my toes are getting colder, maybe it’s because our eco office hasn’t turned the heating on yet. Or maybe it’s the chills from Halloween weekend, wa ha haaah.
Some say pah, stupid americanised commercial money spinner (you could buy a wooden broomstick in my local supermarket this year and a [...]

Reasons to be cheerful
Say Cheese
It’s a photo montage moment.
The Laundry has been out and about having fun recently, too much fun to write an email. Here are the snaps from our BioRegional (charity that runs the Laundry) day out, who knew there was so much wildlife in Deptford?
Boozy Diversions
Whilst in our local last Friday, we got to talking about pub games and the more we talked, the more games we realised we knew. There are so many pub games across this diminutive island of ours, all different shapes and sizes and often with dedicated league players and supporters. For example, Steph’s from Bedfordshire [...]
I don’t care what the weather man says, I’m gambling.
OK forgive the rambling I just realised I have to write this bit of the email and I have about 10 minutes before our after work staff catch up starts.. anway:
There’s a lot of ‘will it’ ‘won’t it’ dilly dallying going on about the weather this summer and forecasters have started to predict stuff, saying [...]
Dream Theme
My friend Soph (also a committed Laundry user, he he) is having a Murder Mystery Party for her birthday this year. Being a huge fan of Cluedo myself (used to try and play it on me own- which you can’t, don’t try it- you’ll find it most unfulfilling), I am really excited about the whole [...]
New Year’s Revolution
There weren’t very many of us in the office yesterday- seems lots of people were very clever and booked off the 2nd for generous recovery so we decided to head up the road to The Goat our local pub for some haute cuisine; plates of scampi, toasties, cheese and pickle sandwiches with ready salted crisp [...]
Hippy Harry…
When I was growing up most years (when it was on) we would go to Glastonbury. Ah so cool, soo cool. But, no!
Not when you’re growing up in Tring, the rainbow warrior t-shirt-down-to-your-knees look is not one celebrated by those (in same peer group) whose own style is comprised more of those classic common denominators: [...]
Do you want to be a record breaker?
After Edd’s comment on the blog yesterday about cup stacking records (have a look here and visit the link for an amazing display of cup stacking – never thought I’d be so impressed by that!), it got me thinking about world records.
There are the Colin Jacksons of this world who do very credible things such [...]
The Laundry shapes up for the Summer (minus lycra and/or painful escapades-please)
Now spring has definitely sprung (in fact its been more like equatorial summer sizzling the last few days, eh) it’s made me start to think about getting fitter (Hmm slightly dubious motivations, maybe instead- ‘eeek it’s inevitable that I’ll be showing more flesh now it’s hot). And so, I, along with many other red-faced lycra-clad(not [...]
Laundrebrity gossip roundup
Get this week’s hottest laundrebrity news in this week’s edition of sHeat Magazine, the paper lovers weekly (just in case – as in a sheet of paper and heat magazine – Tom reckons you won’t get it, but it does sound rather like a swear word, eh?).

School trip naughtiness, tell us your stories
This week we have mostly been thinking about school trips, having had a team building trip to The Sticks (that place just past the leafy, outer London suburbs) with our parent charity BioRegional. Among other things we faced fears of heights with a spot of abseiling, got lost in the woods [...]
The Laundry, battling the elements for your recycling needs
It’s snowing - hooray - well I hope it is as I am writing this from sunny (but cold) Wednesday. (update: hurrah it is snowing. Well hurrah because it looks pretty, boo because it means we all spent far too long getting to work today and The Laundry vans are battling the elements [...]
Laundry dating service
Every week I get nice feedback and funny bits from you guys and every now and again I like to share it with the group, just like when you pass notes in class. Here are some random comments from the last month:
Crossing Spotting
On this day in 1961: Panda replaces zebra at road crossing
A new type of road crossing with push button controls for pedestrians was introduced. The new crossings consisted of triangular black and white stripes (hence panda)- instead of the rectangular stripes at zebra crossings. There was a push button on either side [...]
