where's the Hoff when you need him?

If you don’t mind getting a bit of sand in your cracks, there’s something cool a-coming to Finsbury Square on July 3rd. lastminute.com have decided that all work and no play makes Jack, Tom, Terry, Peter and,… well, all the workaholic males we can think of, extremely dull boys. And women who spend their lunch hours shoe shopping on eBay instead of frolicking in the sunshine? BORING.

So,… we’re setting up a beach in Finsbury Square from the 3rd – 7th July. We’ve even created our own sand from a zillion sprinkles of highly difficult to obtain fairy dust, so bring your buckets and spades. Unfortunately we had to cancel the ocean-import order due to the hosepipe bans and some arrogant bloke from the council, but still, it could be very nice if you bring some bottled water and throw it on your friends instead. Especially the ladies in white shirts – (tip for blokes - this season’s fashions are tantalisingly transparent. Just add water).

As well as lots of lovely sand to bury your most hated colleague in, there’s a ton of groovy stuff going on all week. We’ll be attempting to beat the Guinness World Record for the world’s biggest beach ball. There will also be fitness demonstrations from our waaaay-too-hot-to-be-real friends at Homes Place, a beach fashion show by Chantelle (OH MY GOD) and beach games including swing ball, boules and a Giant Connect 4. You can even eat your way through your lunch box to the sounds of International DJ Rob Chapman, or hold out for the Bongo maestro Dan Cross of Ondo. No, seriously.

All we need now is the Hoff belting out pop songs in a pair of circa 1982 speedos and we’d have the whole thing to ourselves.  He was busy making dodgy music videos for Germany though, so it’s sure to reel in a crowd. 

Don’t miss a taste of the tropics right here in Blighty. Lunch breaks don’t get any better than this where you work!
