Personally I can think of a lot of different interpretations for the findings, but I have to get to work now, and then drive to Madrid, so for this time I'll let it drop. :D
This one is a particularly cute one, isn't it? Or is it just the nice blue background suits it?
Well, I've been googling and googling to find something interesting or funny in not too complicated English and not too long, but either my heart wasn't really in it, or I just had a bad Google day, but the fact is the search was unfruitful.
So I turned to YouTube, and not much luck there either, but I did have a laugh with this lot, who are Dutch or Belgian by the looks of it. Is this how your job makes you feel? :D He does seem pretty upset at the idea of working, I must say, but I can't actually understand much of the ... er... lyrics. Can you?
On a completely different note (but same search) I found this sad story. Can you imagine having to work at 90? Apparently the poor man lost all his money in an investment or something.
So maybe working at a normal age, after the summer holidays, isn't really so bad after all. Is that possible? Well, ask me tomorrow. ;) And to all of those who started today, cheer up, the 11th is a holiday, isn't it?
Hi everybody! I hope you're having a good end of summer. I recently came back from a couple of weeks in England with my daughter, and we had a great time.
Here are some pics:
Picture guide: photos taken in and around Chelmsford, Essex, (Springfield council estate, Great Baddow, Boreham, the River Chelmer, and a typical English breakfast minus the mushrooms), Maldon-on-Sea and Southend-on-Sea. The photo from the plane shows the typical scenery of the area (=East Anglia): fields and more fields separated by hedgerows and lines of trees, with some wooded areas. Most of the fields, where they mainly grow wheat and other cereals, had already been harvested. The weather was exceptionally good for England: it only rained once (shame!), and according to the newspapers certain crops were a month ahead of their time; blackberries too, by the looks of it.
Well, as I said, hope you're all OK and enjoying the last dregs of the holidays. Me for one, in order to try and forget Tuesday the 1st, am going up to the "festes" at Sant Pol de Mar this Saturday for a bit of free rock music.
I'm off to England tomorrow for a a couple of weeks. I've put my bikinis and suntan lotion away, and I'm currently taking out my winter clothes to pack them. A bit depressing actually, but on the other hand I'm looking forward to shopping, browsing in book shops and record shops, watching English telly, listening to English all around me, etc.
And there will still be lots of beach days left when I come back, I suppose.
I'm not a great fan of local customs and traditions at the best of times, and this one, like many, comes across as plain silly. I'm pretty sure some of you will disagree, though.
My question would be whether the daughters really were "asked", or there was some kind of insistence involved.
And another question of course would be if the believers keep their eyes on the skies for rain, or get distracted...
Was he murdered, or did he die a natural death? Or was it an unfortunate overdose? Was he gay (talk about opportunist!)? Was he healthy enough to perform or was he going to have to call off all those concerts anyway? Are really they planning a future Jackson 3 with his children?
Last night I was playing around with it and answering questions, and after I'd finished 20, I decided to see what British comedy shows it recommended for me.
And surprise surprise: its first recommendation was precisely my absolute favourite series (Peep Show). Incredible! So I decided to create an account so that it can keep my results and give me more recommendations.
Not all the questions are interesting, and some don't really need much research. For example the answer to "Which Tom Hanks movie should I watch?" is obviously "why on earth would anyone want to watch a Tom Hanks movie?". But there are others that will probably spark your curiosity. Eg:
