AMY CHILDS IS OK! If only because her appearance at the Get Up and Dance launch party back in October managed to get the O-Games team into ladies’ favourite OK! Magazine. And on the same page as Peter Andre, Louis Spence and some obscure members of the Royal Family, no less. Can anybody top this? Send in your pics to OffTheRecord @

TOP BRASS SIGNS OFF Dave Brass, managing director of Avanquest Software, is to retire after 25 years in the business. He will be stepping down in April.
Brass began his career in 1987 at GST before becoming MD via MBO in 1994, when the business was renamed to GSP.
The firm was then bought by EMME in 2000, which in turn was bought by Avanquest Software in 2007. “In this industry, it is unheard of to remain with one company for such a long period of time,” says Brass. “Clearly, I must be either very loyal or simply unemployable elsewhere. “In 25 years, things have changed enormously, yet looking back it suddenly struck me how things have eerily remained the same.”
