When was the last time you heard anything this ridiculous?

"Orange today announces the launch of Frank TV, a mobile TV channel
dedicated to England and Chelsea star Frank Lampard. Frank TV will be
available exclusively to Orange customers and features never seen
before footage from Frank's video diaries, giving exclusive
behind-the-scenes access to Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea training
ground, Frank's house, pets and much more."

WOW! "And much more!" Yes, sign me up! I really want to watch constant
coverage of this moaning, drippy midfielder who seems to be constantly
picked for England despite being absolutely useless in a white shirt
since Walkers changed its crisp packets the time before last. And who
has admirably put off negotiating a new Chelsea contract until next
year when even more of the squad will be on Terryesque wages and he
too will be able to command £130k a week for prancing about. Either
that or he'll **** off to Spain. Good riddance Fat Frank!

Subject: Moofing this summer

Good morning,

If the simple matter of getting to work has become an increasing challenge this summer maybe now is the time to consider changing you work habits and start working more flexibly or "Moofing," as it is now becoming known. If you haven't yet considered it here are some reasons why you should.

* Extreme weather causing Summer chaos: This summer has seen floods of epic proportions, focused on central England but causing widespread disruption across the country
* Train prices start to soar: Just last week the government announced that the price of rail fares is set to rise at above inflation rates for the next decade, with transport costs eating up a significant percentage of people's salaries maybe it is time to start working away from the office
* Summer Strikes: This summer has been riddled with train strikes with SilverLink planning further strikes over the summer months, making getting to and from the office even more stressful
* Summer gridlock: Although avoiding the trains may seem like a good plan due to school summer holidays roads are likely to be pretty congested, in particular along the key airport routes and the M25 London belt
* Summer love: Are you concerned you don't see enough of your partner/kids especially over the summer holiday period - working flexibly will free up time for those summer BBQs and quality time with loved ones
* Summer weather: What summer weather? With hardly any sustained sunshine forecast until next year, the last thing anyone wants to do is waste the precious sunny spells in the office. Working flexibly will let you enjoy the sun as and when it appears

If you would like more information on Moofing or to speak to a Microsoft spokeperson about the Moofing concept do let us know.

Best,

Lydia
