A pressure group has been launched in Denmark for people who don't like getting up early.

The group - the B Society - has already signed up thousands of Danes and now has its own website to promote its cause.

Several companies and even one school now offer midday starts for employees and pupils who find it hard to wake up in the early hours.

Workers at the Health and Safety Executive have been banned from moving furniture around their offices.

Staff have been told to book a porter to complete the task - and allow two days for it to happen, reports the Daily Mail.

To hammer home the point, signs reading: 'Do not lift tables or chairs without giving 48 hours notice to HSE management', have been plastered across the walls.

Labour peer Lord Berkeley noticed the signs when he attended a meeting at the London headquarters of the HSE.

Widespread exploitation of an unpatched Windows vulnerability involving cursor animation files over the weekend have prompted Microsoft to announce plans to release an out-of-sequence patch on Tuesday.

A stack buffer overflow flaw in Windows' handling of animated cursor (.ANI) files, discovered last week, allows hackers to inject hostile code into unpatched systems. Internet Explorer can process ANI files in HTML documents, so web pages and HTML email messages can also be vectors for the vulnerability.

The sauce is based on an old family recipe

A chef who sang to impress investors on BBC Two's Dragons' Den has said his supermarket deal is a "dream come true" as his sauce hits the shelves.

Levi Roots, who was nominated for best reggae singer at the 1998 Mobo awards, persuaded TV entrepreneurs to invest £50,000 in his sauce-making business.

His Reggae Reggae Sauce is now on sale in 600 Sainsbury's stores.

Mr Roots, from Brixton, south London, said events since appearing on the show had been "amazing and life changing".

Strippers in Italy are offering a year's free entry to their show for anyone who finds their missing poodle.

The girls, who work at the Gilda 2 sex shop and strip club in Viareggio, made the offer as soon as their pampered poodle Gianni went missing.

One of the strippers said: "Since we made the offer we have had lots of responses, but so far none of the dogs we have been shown have turned out to be our little Gianni."
