So we've reached the end of yet another week; one that has seen more leaves falling, being able to see your breath first thing when you step outside, and needing your lights on when you drive to work.

But it's Friday which means it's the weekend...and that is reason enough to smile!

We don't know how your week has been but we think you might be just a little bored of reading finance stories by now.

Frankly, we've had enough of writing them too...so the staff here got together over our tea break, pooled our collective wisdom and decided to share with you the things we like, love, find funny and generally get excited about!

Starting with our selection of YouTube favourites:

This guy clearly needs to come see us for some treatment after this little episode. Wrangling superstar Zeb Lanham gets dumped at Calgary stampede this year. We know we shouldn't laugh but...

Utter madness on a motorbike

Jeepers this is a big wave!

The late Colin McRae shows driving perfection right on the limit.

This is musical comedy genius at its best. If you haven't heard of the Flight of the Concords then you have clearly been hiding under a rock recently.

And if you are not watching YouTube, then you should watch the greatest ever series on TV. Ever.

If you get a spare moment at work today and want to lark around (not that we would ever encourage that!), you could do no better than to play some games over at Mousebreaker and Miniclip.

But, as the hours tick down to the end of a busy week, we thought we should also give you a little something for the weekend.

Perhaps you could start by kicking back with this quality beer from Sharps and watch England vs. Tonga in the crunch Rugby World Cup match tonight?

(And here's a little reminder of the last World Cup, when we were quite good!)

Ok, so not everyone is a rugby fan and maybe the good lady is a bit annoyed that you have watched every World Cup match since it started?

How about you make it up to her over the weekend with a nice home cooked meal (come on man, even you can manage a stir fry or fajitas!) and a decent bottle of wine?

We recommend the Fairleigh Estate Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2005 from New Zealand as our white for the weekend.

If you fancy a decent red then try the Cono Sur Pinot Noir 2006 from Chile.

And after a good home cooked meal you need a decent dessert.

You should try one from GU's range (easily available in Sainsbury's) and the GU Chocolate & Vanilla Cheesecake is the best of the lot!

Then how about relaxing with a DVD? (especially if it's a bit chilly outside!)

Get yourself down to Blockbusters and get one of the following and we know you won't be disappointed:

For the action/drama fans amongst you, why not try Déjà Vu? Any film with Denzel Washington is a sure fire winner and this one is no exception!

For those who like a bit of romance, you should try The Lake House. Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves and a twist on an old fashioned love story.

And if you want to laugh so hard you will stop breathing, then you have to watch this:

Anchorman:The legend of Ron Burgundy which proves that Will Ferrell is the funniest man in film.

Oh, and if you like DVDs, there is a little competition for you to enter, courtesy of The Times.

Vote for the best movie scene ever and win 10 DVDs of your choice.

So, there we are; some things to amuse and inspire. We hope the staff choices prove enjoyable. We do try to help!

And now, it's the countdown to home time and so lovely people, its time for us to wish you a happy Friday and an even better weekend!

Why not share some of your favourites in the comments?
