Tube - aaarrggh...

Credit: lachapellestudio.com

... One of the things that make me very angry and bored at the same time – is the price of the public transport in London (well... in the UK in general). There are very few places in the world where for £100 a month, you can only travel within 2 zones, always with Sever Delays and never on the weekend… true story…

Funny (and true) story on how to make a woman happy:


It's not difficult to make a woman happy...

A MAN ONLY NEEDS TO BE: A Friend, a Companion, a Lover, a Brother, a Father, a Master Chef, an Electrician, a Carpenter, a Plumber, a Mechanic, a Decorator, a Stylist, a Psychologist, a Pest exterminator, a Psychiatrist, a Healer, a Good listener, an Organizer, a Good father, Very clean, Sympathetic, Athletic, Warm, Attentive, Gallant, Intelligent, Funny, Creative, Tender, Strong, Understanding, Tolerant, Prudent, Ambitious, Capable, Courageous, Determined, Dependable, Passionate, Compassionate
WITHOUT FORGETTING TO: Give her compliments regularly, love shopping, be honest, be very rich, not stress her out, not to look at other girls
AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU MUST ALSO: Give her lots of attention, but expect little yourself, give her lots of time, especially time for herself, give her lots of space, never worrying about where she goes
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO: Never to forget: birthdays, anniversaries, arrangements she makes

HOW TO MAKE A MAN HAPPY: Show up naked, Bring food and Remain silent during the match

Thought of the day (or Friday night...):

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do then by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade wins in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Thought of the day:


Just a quick follow up on my very first post about ‘not-so-cute-you-can-even-say-ugly’ guys in the office, spending most of their time thinking of opportunities to mention the fact that they have a girlfriend. I have also noticed that, on the other hand, ‘oh-so-cute’ guys fail to mention the fact that they actually DO have girlfriends. So they flirt with you outrageously and laugh at all your jokes and never answer any of your questions with “oh, my girlfriend…”. I give you exhibit A - an ‘oh-so-cute’ boy at work (who by the way flirts with me quite a lot… and before you say anything, it’s not just in my head…) He is the cutest thing that we currently have in the office and I make it my personal duty to see him at least a couple of times a day :-) Anyway, he has a girlfriend (i hear) and he just can’t seem to find an appropriate time to mention it. To be honest, I do prefer it that way – and 5 points to him for keeping his options open. But I can’t help but wonder: when I finally do get myself an ‘oh-so-cute’ boyfriend, will he forget to mention me at all (or, even worse, refer to me as “some friends”) when he talks to some blonde girl at work?
...Actually… don’t answer that…

True Story... Batmobile


The best day ever… imagine... a Batmobile... near my house…
I wish I could scribble my number on it for a Batman to call
but it is so pretty… I simply couldn’t…
Where is a post-it note when you need one?

Feel like a High Performance Cinderella... spent my Friday night washing and cleaning my apartment... a one-off due to the bad weather or a cry for help?

Funny... but approach with caution

Credit: Can't remember
A hilarious game, but also can be a touch career limiting, so do take care… we should play this for the whole week and then compare the scores on friday…

OFFICE DARES ONE-POINT DARES
1. Ignore the first five people who say 'good morning' to you
2. To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears and grimace
3. Leave your fly open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way"
4. Walk sideways to the photocopier
5. While going in an elevator, gasp dramatically each time the doors open
6. When in elevator with one other person, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn't you
7. Finish all your sentences with "In accordance with the prophecy..."
8. Don't use any punctuation
9. Interrupt your conversation with someone by giving a huge dejected sigh
10. Use your highlighter pen on the computer screen.

THREE-POINT DARES
1. Say to your boss, "I like your style", wink, and shoot him with double-barrelled fingers
2. Kneel in front of the water cooler and drink directly from the nozzle
3. Shout random numbers while someone is counting
4. Every time you get an email, shout ''email''
5. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has got over his or her caffeine addictions, switch to espresso
6. Keep hole punching your finger. Each time you do, shout, "dagnamit, it's happened again!". Then do it again
7. Introduce yourself to a new colleague as "the office bicycle". Then wink and pout

FIVE-POINT DARES
1. At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself)
2. Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times
3. For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Dave"
4. After every sentence, say 'Mon' in a really bad Jamaican accent. As in: "The report's on your desk, Mon." Keep this up for one hour
5. In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, "Shut up, damn it, all of you just shut up!"
6. At lunchtime, get down on your knees and announce, "As God is my witness, I'll never go hungry again!"
7. Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now"
8. Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit; smash biscuit with your fist
9. During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door
10. As often as possible, skip rather than walk
11. Ask people what sex they are. Laugh hysterically after they answer
