Action Man is alive and well!

We’re pleased to report that Action Man is ok, much to the happiness of George!

It seems he went back to his action packed roots and hopped on a boat to another part of England. He hasn’t revealed exactly where he is but we have received the following holiday snaps from him.

The first image worried us somewhat as Action Man appeared to be in a rather sticky situation. According to him though, it was nothing to worry about. He battled on through and came out smiling. Phew!

Eeeeek!

The following photo shows him in another ‘action’ shot.  He’s trying his best to hold up this ‘Action Van’...get it, Action Man under an Action Van?  His idea of a joke!  Sadly this isn’t his vehicle but he found it on his way down to the beach, where he proceeded to show off his pecs to onlookers and ride the waves on his surfboard.  That last bit was a clue.  He told us he was in England's surf capital when this photo was taken.

Can you spot him right at the bottom of the photo?

These final photos were taken in two different spots.  But where??  Action Man wants us to guess.  If you think you know where Action Man has been on his travels we’d love to hear your answers.  We are at a complete loss.  His photos don’t give much away sadly, although he did mention sailing as a clue for the first one and Martin Clunes as a clue for the second!  Can you help us?  There may well be a prize in it for you...especially if your answers are correct and they lead us to the whereabouts of our office hero.

What On Earth (minus Action Man!)

Someone’s gone missing from What On Earth

Amid George’s sniffles and tears we have managed to work out that his favourite desk toy has gone AWOL. That’s right, Action Man has disappeared.

He was last seen on Friday 15 July sat tight on George’s desk. This is the most recent photo we have of him.

George's pride and joy

A snap shot of what's going on

Odd things are happening at What On Earth. Members of staff are putting on weight and going bald...within seconds!


Once a slim Jim!



Once a hairy beast!

(Apologies for the blur, our shakey handed cameraman is usually found digging down the allotment.  He doesn't do much else really!)

Do you have any funny photos of yourself?  Send them in to laura@whatonearth.co.uk.  We'd love to see them.  We can put them on the blog, on Facebook and on Twitter if you let us too.... you'll be famous!

All present and correct in the office

As you all know we hit the streets of Shoreditch last week and I’m pleased to say that, despite the sore heads, we made it back to the office in one piece.  All of us too; we didn’t lose any stragglers along the way – not even those who got off the bus at the wrong stop a few miles from home.  Not mentioning any names of course.  Actually there was one member of staff who didn't return to the office, but Friday was her last day and our night out was her leaving do so we can’t really blame her!

So how was our evening? Well, we had an absolute blast.  We started our antics in Storybox, a funky new pop up pizza joint that is based just seconds from Brick Lane. It offers a fantastic menu full of different organic pizzas – and you know how much we love organic pizzas! With wine, beer and lemonade waiting for us when we arrived, we knew we were in for a good time as well as a good feed. And that is exactly what we had. Marta even got to try flapjack for the first time and I’m pleased to report that she is now an avid fan of its oaty, syrupy goodness.

A few dozen pizzas, salads and desserts later we were all content and as full as can be.  Even Rolf had a full stomach – funny that considering he didn’t get a meal because he was on a “diet”.  He just ate everybody else’s food instead!  He did do the washing up afterwards though so I think that was fair, albeit unexpected. 

From Storybox we dashed out into the Friday night rain (thinking it was November, not June) and moved our party on to Brick Lane. There we squeezed into a tightly packed bar and tried our hardest to raise our arms high enough to enjoy our drinks.  We soon had to opt for straws to make it that bit easier!  Once the glasses were successfully drained we moved to somewhere a lot less busy, much to the disappointment of Rolf who seemed to have made friends with another group of people.  Charming!  We opted for somewhere in which we had space to move and could actually hear each other speak and that quiet somewhere was in Spitalfields Market.  In fact we were pretty much the only people in there so we had as much space and quietness as we wanted.

The night went on and the drinks kept flowing, as did Rolf's stories.  As the clock struck midnight we could see that the bar in question was eager to get rid of our ugly mugs so eventually we trundled off to seek homeward bound transport. We all piled into various night buses, sitting tight for the journey home, and although it seemed to take forever to get back we were kept amused by the sights that surrounded us. In that lot, perhaps our mugs weren’t so ugly after all! I’ll let you make up your mind on that one.

The only thing left to say in this story is that we all got to our homes in one piece, fell into a deep sleep and lived happily ever after :-)  ... or so we hope.

Peace, love and loads of pizza.
