It's the one with Rio Ferdinand on the front saying that since club captain Gary Neville has been out injured, Ryan Giggs has taken on the mantlepiece.

The French do have a sense of humour don't they? We do it on Friday so I'll let you know.

We are having a Secret Santa on Friday. I've to buy something for a fiver for the new apprentice who is a 17 year old girl.

What should I buy? I'm completely lost. Suggestions sort.

Buy her something from Boots, possibly something from near the Pharmacy Counter.

I just have a secret santa between me and the company secretary just to be certain.

Isn't a 17 year old a minor? Maybe watch Eastenders on demand and see what Tony buys Whitney.
