DO NOT Sing at work…
We liked this one! An employee at a manufacturing firm in America has been disciplined for singing at work. On his regular trips to the gluing area, he would sing ‘This Is How We Glue It’ to the tune of Montell Jordan’s R&B hit ‘This Is How We Do It!’ Complaints from other employees led the boss to issue a disciplinary notice which was hilariously filed under ‘Other: Disruptive!’ The image of the notice was shared all over the web with one viewer commenting ‘my buddy got fired from an inventory job for counting everything like The Count from Sesame Street!’

Star-becks?
Firstly, an apology for the awful gag, but this is a work-related story that served up mixed opinions here at AR Towers. Brooklyn Beckham has got himself a weekend job at a coffee shop in west London. He’s 15 and is earning £2.68/h. He can only work seven hours on a Saturday due to his age (and for the pedants among us he must be given an hour break after four). Is it a publicity stunt to further fuel the unstoppable Beckham PR machine or, given their vast wealth and worldwide fame (mostly David) are they just a mum and dad trying to instil the values of hard work on their kids? We think option two, but what do you think? Why is Brooklyn Beckham working at a coffee shop in west London for two and a half quid an hour?
Domino’s Want a ‘Pizza’ The World Cup Action!
We're full of the gags this month (it was that, or ‘slice’ of the World Cup action). Anyway, the World Cup is here and what is a World Cup without pizza? Nothing, according to Domino’s who are hiring 1,300 extra staff to cope. They reckon they will deliver a quite astonishing 56m slices of pizza around the UK in June and July – that’s nearly 6m pizzas and they think they’ll travel well over 12,000 miles! Who do you think will win the World Cup and what’s your snack of choice? Are you a pizza, beer, crisps and nuts type, a chocolate and sweets type or are you among the silent majority who likes cheese and crackers with homemade chutney?
