"Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says there is not a disciplinary problem at the club after Ashley Cole accidentally shot a work placement student"

Ridiculous.

The Original Ronaldo: A True Great

Retires today, after a career of brilliance.

There is something that you come across in the world of work that can be infinitely more challenging than balancing the books or bringing a campaign in on budget. Something that can be career limiting yet is very rarely probed at interview.

That being, Casual Friday.

It nestles neatly beside Smart Casual in the awkward dress code stakes. There are those gents who perhaps wisely steer completely clear, refusing to deviate beyond the business dress, but on seasonal occasions will plump for a chino. For women it's a little easier, the gear change from Thursday to Friday is less of a gamble - the general rules are slightly blurred - and pashminas will hide a multitude of sins.

It's the office young guns who are always in danger of taking the casual all too literally. The awkwardness of joining a meeting in your hoodie and jeans when others are in full suit is too much to bear for those tapped into the subtle nuances of what's 'acceptable'. There is something slightly new and childishly funny about seeing your boss in a pair of jeans and Adidas t-shirt, almost as if you've seen each other in an awkward social environment (e.g. Waitrose...or Spearmint Rhino). As a result there becomes a uniform of sorts formed out of these minor Friday morning panics, which seems to erode the ethos of the Casual Friday movement, but we all know one cannot have true freedom without rules. The rules will differ from office to office, but you can rarely go wrong with a shirt and jeans. It says 'I'm buying into the corporate game, I'm casual...but I'm not that casual...these figures have been hurriedly compiled with dubious amounts of scrutiny and, yes, I'm asking you to come in over the weekend to make sure they're correct for Monday morning'.

Any man will know he has a polarised wardrobe, normally comprising of Best work shirts, Work shirts, Work shirts that will soon be DIY shirts, Weekend shirts and then Other (normally being a dress shirt and that oversized shirt you got for christmas but have obviously never worn - these are normally separated from the main bulk by an awkwardly-balanced coat hanger of ties). Whether these are organised from left to right or vice-versa varies on the man. Again, rules make this decision making process easier and the temptation to confuse Casual Friday with the weekend at this stage can be fatal. In moments of dire need, men have been known to enter the Other section to avoid a weekend shirt. In these laundry-induced shortages you're very much on your own and a v-neck sweater will be your new best friend. However it does force another staple rule, one which can be taken to any social scenario: If in doubt, dress up.

It's with this advice that I would approach the Casual Friday dilemma. Of course, any Casual Friday-er par excellence (or for that matter Rogue about town) will have a spare full suit, brogues, double cuff shirt, links and tie ready in the office for all occasions. You never know when these will be called into action. Never. Too many good men have been lost to this corporate farce and it should no longer continue.

Remember that you have all weekend to dress like an arse.
