Apparently after receiving three, you are meant to have some kind of formal meeting between the parties involved but this never happened. According to the rules, if there are five complaints, an external mediator has to be bought in.

This didn't happen either and I was quite disappointed. I don't really have anything against Simon apart from the fact that he likes the band Nickelback and I have no idea what his problem with me is, as I'm pretty sure I am an absolute pleasure to work with. I brought in donuts once, which is pretty nice. I found them in a bin and left them near Simon's desk. Click here to watch me on the roller-coaster.

Shrub Monkey - Cunt of the Day. Www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/cpregs/oft979.pdf. David Cameron Pretending to be Common. In a nod to his felonious Bullingdon days, David Cameron uses the gangster term “sick” in order to describe his restaurant-smashing kindred spirits. David Cameron is photographed dismantling the NHS brick by brick. His press adviser remains unfazed by the evidence as Cameron is wearing a shirt which is not 100% cotton. Watch David Cameron as he touches the hand of a lowly constituent without the aid of gloves or antibacterial gel. Heart-warming.

Staying true to his working-class roots, David Cameron defies his wife’s wishes by picking IKEA over Clarice Cliff. You can now “Like” David Cameron Pretending to be Common on Facebook.

Holmes | Apartment Therapy Unplggd. 13 Vintage Ads That Would Be Banned Today: Pics, Videos, Links, News. Russia plans domed city in Siberian mine. A Russian construction company called AB Elise hopes to build a gigantic domed city in an abandoned diamond mine in Siberia, powered by the sun. The project is more of a concept than a reality so far, but the plans show accomodation for 100,000 people over three main levels. The mine in question is the Mir mine in the Mirniy industrial zone in Eastern Siberia. You might have probably seen photos of it before, labelled "the largest man-made hole on earth" or something similar. It's long been used to mine diamonds, but the mining stopped in June 2001, replaced with a network of underground tunnels below.

Presumably this activity would have to cease if the structure is ever built. The project, which is described in a series of slides on AB Elise's site, is split between three levels, penetrated in the centre by a vertical farm and forests. Jon Rafman.

Whether it’s a shift in local industry or a particularly nasty disaster that sparks a mass exodus, it means the death knell for a town. Eerie and tragic, yet brimming with history, the following ghost towns are monuments to hardship, good intentions with bad repercussions, and human folly. 1. Hashima Island 端島 (Gunkanjima 軍艦島), Japan Image: Ishida Naoki/Flickr It’s virtually impossible to find an abandoned city with a history as sordid as that of Hashima Island, known commonly as “Gunkanjima,” or Battleship Island.

Image: gakuranman.com Purchased in 1890 by the Mitsubishi Corporation for its large coal deposits, Hashima quickly became home to miners and their families. If life wasn’t already bleak for Gunkanjima’s miners, keep in mind that their days were spent descending long tunnels that lead them into coal mines below the ocean. 2.

Call it exoticism: theme parks outside the US seem just a smidgen creepier than those we grew up visiting. Safety guidelines are questionable, attractions are a bit lees planned-out, and themes are chosen with a decidedly laissez-faire attitude. Although these factors might be a detriment to theme parks while they’re still in business, they certainly increase foreign parks’ appeal to urban explorers with an eye for the bizarre once they’ve been abandoned.

Between South Korea’s affinity for anthropomorphic roller coasters, Japan’s misguided desire the please the Ruskies, and Berlin’s story of a carnival master turned Peruvian drug smuggler, exploring international abandoned parks is a big notch on any urban explorer’s camera strap. But take note! Breaking into these parks is not for the faint of heart (or slow of step). Just like at abandoned theme parks in the US , theme park operators abroad don’t much like nosy foreigners making a mockery of their failures. Image: Streetbeat85 /Flickr.

CheethamBell JWT’s new creative technology division, JWT Experience has designed a new Facebook game for bmibaby. Players will be asked to create a plane, invite their friends to get on board and then “fly” to one of the tour operator’s European destinations. Then every day, each player is asked 3 questions about place, language, culture, history or cuisine and earn badges based on their responses. At the end of the week, the team with the highest score wins return flights to their chosen destination. “We wanted to put the fun back into flying and increase interaction with bmibaby, and that’s what this is all about. We spent a lot of time on the dynamics of the gameplay, making it simple, and easy to dip in and out of - but still engaging enough to build up that sense of anticipation through the week as you and your friends try and win a trip away,” said Dom Rodwell, creative director and head of experience at CBJWT.

The campaign will run for a month. ScanIt for iPhone and iPod touch (4th generation) on the iTunes App Store. Square. Hugh Garry. Michel gondry - Smirnoff. Moon. The Seventh Movement.

I FIRST heard of Amazon’s new “promotion” from my bookseller daughter, Emily, in an e-mail with the subject line “Can You Hear Me Screaming in Brooklyn?” According to a link Emily supplied, Amazon was encouraging customers to go into brick-and-mortar bookstores on Saturday, and use its price-check app (which allows shoppers in physical stores to see, by scanning a bar code, if they can get a better price online) to earn a 5 percent credit on Amazon purchases (up to $5 per item, and up to three items). Books, interestingly enough, were excluded, but you could use your Amazon credit online to buy other things that bookstores sell these days, like music and DVDs.

And, if you were scanning, say, the new Steve Jobs biography, you’d no doubt be informed that you were about to pay way too much. These writers all derive considerable income from Amazon’s book sales. But when the responses to my query started coming in it was clear Amazon’s program would find no defenders in our ranks.

Although nothing encapsulates summer adventure quite like the excitement of the open road, we have to admit being stuck in a car for hours on end can get a bit monotonous. Scenery is pretty and all, but we think the best parts of a road trip are the roadside attractions, offering unexpected, quirky detours along the way for the weary, bordering-on-bored traveler.

Dotting highways and small towns across America, many attractions hearken back to times past, decades when ogling the largest ball of paint or the local three-ring flea circus was considered legitimate “entertainment”. Although our tastes may have changed a bit since then, there are still some unusual things out there that are definitely worth pulling over for. 1. Shoe Tree, U.S. Image: TravelNevada/Flickr Unlike most roadside attractions the Shoe Tree isn’t some sort of gimmick or money making scheme.

Little is known about the man himself, however in 1980 his company filed for bankruptcy.
