Since I blogged about the best office design, I’ve also been looking out for weird building designs. Here are some of the best that I found – imagine turning up to work at one of these gems… A library in the shape of books, an office shaped like a basket and an actual crooked house. [...]

I read a funny story today about the breakdancing pensioner who was on the last series of Britain’s Got Talent. Apparently he had been claiming disability allowance from the Government, and when he was spotted on the show, questions were asked about whether he really needed the payments.
