    Best chain working lunch establishment.

    If I step outside the office I tend to use Leon or Wasabi. Not cheap but nothing is in Canary Wharf. When I worked on Fleet Street I used Pilpel, a small falafel and humus chain which was fantastic. Anyone else got any favourites?

    What radio stations do you listen to at work?

    I work in Canary Wharf and listen to Radio 4 and the myriad pirate house stations broadcast from the region. Anyone else?

    Canary wharf lunch locations?

    I have just started working at Canary Wharf and am looking for decent places for lunch. So far this week I have done Tortilla Burrirtos (crap), Wasabi (crap), Leon(normally good but the Gobi was awful) and Organic Chick Pea falafel place (pretty good). Any recommendations?

    Her Birthday - The Bloke Dilemma

    It's Saturday and all I have got her is a bracelet. I'd like to spend 100-250 to finish the gift off. The problem is I have no chance to get anywhere other than Canary Wharf Shopping Centre as we are away first thing after work tomorrow. My only options are I go and find bits and bobs after...

    Best low rent sandwich.

    I wouldn't put rocket in a sandwich at home so why have I got to pay £3 for the ****ing pleasure when I am at work in Canary Wharf? I think there is a definite market for no frills sandwiches at £1 a go with fillings such as tinned hot-dog and tomato ketchup, no salad, no choice of bread -...

    Red Bull style drinks - do they work?

    I arrived in Canary Wharf around 7:20 feeling tired and rough so I nipped into Tesco and bought 4 cans of 'own brand' Red Bull at the bargain price of 25p per can. I necked two cans before my Sugar Puffs and one hour later I have to say I can't feel the benefit. Does this stuff actually work...

    A typical bloke, having split from his latest girlfriend,decided to take a holiday.He booked himself on a cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is; until the ship sank. He found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing; only bananas and coconuts. After...

    National cashpoint failure

    I'm not one to spread unfounded alarmist rumours but a colleague has just informed me (after phoning his bank) that there is a national cashpoint failure affecting all banks. If anyone could confirm this before I go and loot the Canary Wharf B and O shop I would be appreciate it.

    Lehman Bros.

    Anyone here likely to be directly affected by them filing for bankruptcy? Looking out of my window at Canary Wharf it seems they can't even afford to turn the lights on.

    Job for a day

    Can anyone think of a normal job they wouldn't mind doing for one day only? It has just ocurred to me that I would quite like to work as a Canary Wharf security guard for a day. They get to drive about in gas powered golf buggies and cruise around in boats looking for bombs. It looks more...

    Wednesday's Second Question - The Apprentice

    Why is it that when the firing is done on the Apprentice is always shows that outside of Canary Wharf tower (aka One Canada Square) and when they are rushing back from the tasks it also gives the impression that is Canary Wharf. However, once someone is fired they are seen walking out of a...

    Limehouse Station

    Ahoy, Since my company relocated to Canary Wharf I occasionally find myself with a 20 minute wait at Limehouse station for the next train to Benfleet. In this situation I would usually nip to the nearest pub and have a quick pint. Unfortunately the nearest pub (The Railway) is an absolute...
