    Give Brillo a Holiday

    Do you think we can send Brillo to Vegas like this chap?

    #GiveGregTheHoliday goes viral on Twitter landing him free trip to Las Vegas | Mail Online

    It started out as an innocuous holiday request and ended in a free trip to Las Vegas, with a new wardrobe and travel toiletries all thrown in.

    When security guard Greg Heaslip's email requesting time off was accidentally sent to the whole Arcadia Group where he worked - a brand including TopShop, Miss Selfridge and BHS - a hilarious email chain ensued.

    While the night worker slept blissfully unaware at home, the emails swiftly became a Twitter trend when a colleague started a campaign with the hashtag #GiveGregTheHoliday.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

    Don't you want to send me somewhere without internet access?

    I suppose from there I could pop over to California and annoy MF.

        I've already had 3. I think. I lost count. Im quite unlikely to have another. My psychiatrist is really good. Way better than 100 councellors.

        I have also had alot of Buddist help from the chap I sit next to. He says :-

        1. If you get upset concentrate on your breathing
        2. Never get taken in by misery or happiness - both are temporary
        3. Pain happens. Does not mean you have to suffer.
        4. Take your time before responding to anything.
        5. Keep away from cuk general - its full of annoying chunts.
