I think I’ve used up far too many words on pathetic little men doing awful things of late, so time for something else. “But, but, that’s why we come here, to read about your ridiculous escapades”, I hear you cry. Well, today I’m in a somewhat foolish mood and am directing you elsewhere…
1. First up a somewhat juvenile photograph from Little Man In A Toque. It’s not big, it’s not clever (well the person who printed it out without noticing it certainly wasn’t), but it, after I finally spotted it, made me laugh.
Oh actually, that’ll do, I might add to the list later on, I’m too busy watching the Tour de France (but on ARD, rather than live today – one gets to see much more).
Later.
2. Carrying on with piccies, ChicagoKarl posts a photograph of himself in his Schutzenverein costume and asks that he does not receive abuse for his appearance. Those of you who know what a Schutzenverein costume looks like *will* know that this request was always going to be in vain.
3. Anyhoo has a recycled, but horribly true joke, scoll down to the P.S. at (surprise) the bottom of this entry.
4. In the comments below, EasyJetsetter points out Nosemonkey’s “Buy A London Emergency Worker A Pint” fund (the Paypal button is at the top left). Explanation here, as well as other charities.
5. Yes, I know I said I wouldn’t talk about it. I don’t even live in London (yet), but the most amusing reaction from a Londoner to offers of solidarity I’ve seen so far I just have to mention. “Right then. If all you lot are Londoners today, that’ll be eight quid for the congestion charge. Come on then, pony up.” - Sorry I don’t have a source to link to.
6. And on a final, London-related note, I’ll be there again on Tuesday for a third round of interviews. Bearing in mind, this is for a job with a group responsible for decision making, that it’s taken so long to narrow it down from six candidates is a trifle disturbing.
German Word For Today: “langsam” – slow
Song playing as this was published: Ofra Haza - “Im Nin Alu”
The “we are all Londoners” came from an Australian papers opening story; it was touchingly written, but I’m glad to see that it was at least partly taken in good humour
I’m wishing you luck on getting the job! London is “ACE” (although everyone there makes fun of my accent all the time..lol)!!!
And concerning the other post below:Unfortunately, there are some German assholes that think, they know everything. I don’t agree with the Iraq war but those fucktards, the terrorists, are the bad ones. I love how the British are handeling this. I watched some CNN yesterday and they showed all these Muslims, Christians, Hindus etc coming together ,all basically just giving the middle finger to the extremists (in my words that is, although wouldn’t THAT be a sight? Cardinals, Imans and high Hindu representatives showing their middle fingers shouting “FUCK OFF?).
that_girl: I’ve forwarded your idea to the relevant inter-faith development authorities…. I think it’s brilliant.
Stairs: I googled it, but it was showing up everywhere…
