Fix Up - a new play by Kwame Kwei-Armah at the NT - tickets from 10 pounds
Getting the hours in

If I get one more out of office reply this week... Are we really the only company in London still working?

If your office is anything like ours, the biggest challenge in these last days before Christmas is trying to look remotely productive (did I say that?).

James Walsh's pretty vocals, moody guitar play & sappy lyrics: Starsailor play tonight at Hammersmith Apollo 7pm Queen Caroline St, W6. £17. 0870 154 4040 or online.

Meet Lucky Seven's tequila- fueled sister: Tom Conran's Crazy Homies tequila bar & Mex snack joint opens today next door. 125 Westbourne Pk Rd, W2. 020 7727 6771.

Usually, we at UJs are masters at filling the hours (googling exes/googling ourselves/MSN), but lately even we're a bit stumped.

Belle de Jour's retired and Friendster's lost its buzz (if you were ever into it, that is). Instant messaging on the Bloomberg could be good - if any of our mates actually had a terminal and were on the system.

We've exhausted Gawker, Popbitch and Hint, tried to win something on the eBay treasure hunt (pathetic, I know), spent a fortune on Net-a-Porter and smoked our lungs out in the freezing cold.

Xmas classic The Nutcracker by English National Ballet is on at Coliseum. 7:30pm. St Martin's Lane, WC2. £10-39. 020 7632 8300 or online.

It must be time to broaden our horizons:
tokyoskool
- Le Palais de Tokyo's très arty showcase
KCTV - Kenny & Tatu's fashion forward creative dump
rathergood - Joel Veitch's twisted kitten manipulations
no-help - what advice columns really ought to be like
punternet - for those prostitute reviews

Happy surfing. Now just get the hang of the Alt+tab (cmd+tab for you Mac-ers) shortkey to switch back to that presentation you really should be working on.
