Did you know that work kills over two million people worldwide every year?

That's more than deaths from alcohol and drugs combined. Reason enough to quit, reasons my new favourite publication The Idler. And we at Urban Junkies have to agree.

The magazine devoted to the pursuit of laziness is the best antidote to London's crazy working hours. Within the glorious paperback cover, you will find countless justifications for taking the day off. Tell the boss you feel ill. Right now, in fact. Go on - it's good for your health. The Idler said so.

I'm not the only fan. The most recent edition, entitled War on Work, features a mildly psychotic rambling from Babyshambles frontman and Kate Moss-shagger Pete Doherty (put down the pipe, Pete, you used to be pretty), while my future boyfriend Alex James reflects on the pleasure of the shed.

Thank goodness, a magazine that endorses what we lads and ladies of leisure have known for centuries.

Work sucks.
