My work is having an apparently laid back summer party, and I don't want to sound like a weird fashion metro man, but I don't know what to wear. Usually when we have staff parties they are very formal, or a little relaxed but if you wear a suit, or at least a shirt and tie you're fine. It's usually easy for men to get away with it, a suit is a suit! But with this so-called laid back dress code I have no idea what I'm supposed to wear. I can't go in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops like I would if I was being laid back anywhere else, so the code is redundant in itself. I'm thinking of just wearing some very well-pressed mens chinos and a shirt with some fairly casual shoes and a jacket rather than a suit jacket. What do you guys think? This is too hard for me I'm rubbish with this sort of thing! Photo: conorwithonen (Flickr)

I recently signed up my ever growing online business to hosting company to provide us with server hosting dedicated only to us, and have been reaping the benefits ever since. We were suffering with a bit of lag time on our old server set-up, and the freedom of our own dedicated server has sped up the process hugely. Our server doesn't have to cope with anyone else's stuff shared on it, it's just our stuff, so we are in full control of everything - it's great. We have a great disaster recovery plan in place, something we were scrimping on a bit in the past, so if for any reason there is a problem we will be able to stay online and operate while the server providers sort out the problems - though I'm assured this is a very, very rare occurrence. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with a blooming e-business! Photo: The Planet

Lotto resultat this week was such a disappointment! I really had a good feeling about the lottery this week and not a dime! I was hoping I would win so I could go on an amazing trip to Australia in the summer - I know it was an unrealistic dream. I just want to go so much and meet the koalas! Travelling around Oz is one of my dreams. I want to start in Melbourne and work my way up to Cairnes. If I did have enough money I would then go to West Australia to Perth. Australia just seems like a beautiful country and one day I am determined to go! I will just have to save and not expect to win the lottery! Picture: jazzdad.wordpress.com

Because of a small minority the entire student population have been tarred with the same dirty brush that they are mindless things with no real measure of society as a whole and the merit of education. It makes me ashamed to be a student and ashamed to be British. Image: mirror
