Want to try out FunkBunk for yourself? For a limited period of time we are now offering your first half day at one of our hot-desks for absolutely nothing, zip, nadda, zilch, zero, gratis, oh and free.

For your mere presence here for a half day you will get free broadband wi-fi, free tea and coffee, free parking and you get to experience life in the ‘Bunk first hand.

Getting out of your home-office or usual working location, even for half a day can do wonders for your motivation. All current FunkBunk residents have commented on how just being here has focused their attention on business and being surrounded other people allows for instant networking opportunities. Just having people to sound ideas off with and brainstorm ideas with in the real world is an amazing working experience.

“Funkbunk is a very friendly place to work and the décor made it extremely calming. I found it really useful to bounce ideas off the creative people in the office and find out what others were doing and working on – you don’t get that working on your own at home. Using the hot-desk helped me to focus a lot more without the distractions from home. It’s a great way to dip your toe in the water without the financial commitment of working full time in an office. If you’re a freelancer and you spend some of your week working with clients or you need to be at home, this is the perfect way to work. I see it as a treat to get out of my home office and go and work in the Funkbunk every few days.” Rachel Toy, Spirit Creative

Go on – give it a go. Come and hang out with us for half a day at the FunkBunk.

The offer expires on the 31st August 2009 so get a move on and book early to avoid disappointment - vouchers do not guarantee availability.

Now, I like pizza. I have also, in my lifetime, eaten a doner kebab (i was however very drunk). I also like chips.

I am not however a fastfood junky. I like to dabble, but on the whole my diet is balanced.

If I had truly, honestly known what this bad boy of a fastfood festival on a plate was going to be when I ordered it I may have reconsidered.

Let me explain. My lovely girlfriend and I were in Sweden visiting her relatives in a small town a couple of hours south of Stockholm called Österbymo. We were taken out to eat one evening to a nice little pizzeria. I was suffering from a Swedish beer hangover from the night before and some good wholesome junk food was just what the doctor ordered.

Not knowing what half of the menu meant as it was in Swedish I asked our table what they would recommend. Someone piped up “Ydre Special”. A few others nodded in agreement so I went ahead and ordered with a hair of the dog beer on the side.

Moments later food arrived and my eyes widened as could not believe the spectacle that sat steaming in front of me.

Ladies and Gentlemen - I give you: The Ydre Special

Diameter: 14 inches
Base: Thin crust proper pizza dough (ala Pizza Express)
Base Coat: Tomato Puree with just a smattering of herbs and cheese
Topping: Doner Kebab Meat, Chips and a sour cream and mustard sauce

Now I’m a polite boy and never like to leave food on my plate - that’s what my mum taught me. But boy was I sweating by the time I finished this one. Even our Swedish companions said they had never seen anyone finish it. It was however, extremely tasty and I would recommend it to any fast food fusion enthusiast - but be responsible and don’t over do it….

Now I know what you are asking: Do they deliver?

Something that came though the ‘bunk today made us all chuckle. Names, birthdays and blood types have all been changed to protect the innocent;

“Here are collections of articles written by the students currently enrolled on the XXXX.

Just click on the topic you want to see the full list of reviews.

The students have written all the reviews and staff have poof read for any segments that people(s) may find offensive. The views expressed in the articles are of the individual who wrote the article and not that of XXXX.”

It seems that not all are up to scratch with their proof reading.

Our resident half-Swede decided that it would be a good idea to celebrate Swedish Waffle Day, stuff our faces and get fat.

Ice cream and maple syrup was everywhere and the waffles went down faster than the waffle making machine could spit them out.

Thanks Kia, though I’m pretty sure there is a few of us that cannot face another waffle until next year.
