Working hours – are you really working?

I’ve just bumped into this article, I find it quite amusing.

English dictionary: Pro

In business’s life, it’s very important to be “Pro”, if you’re pro, you’ve got a voice. If you are not pro, you’re just another dust in the sand dune, people would show you “talk to the hand” sign.

Flood in UK

I can’t say enough how surprised I am to witness what I’m seeing now in UK – one of the most civilised and developed countries in the world!(?)

Europeans saying: Englishmen are like mushrooms, they rush out right after the rain.
Well, who are living in London would understand the reason very well. It’s so rare and precious to have a ray of sun and light this July (!?). It has been raining, dark and grey. BBC even had one show on which one [...]

Milk and UK scientists

You love milk? Oh, yeah, me too.
But it looks like milk and UK scientists are not very good friends, milk is the source of their dispute.
In a recent research, it’s said: ” Drinking milk cuts diabetes risk“. It’s a 20-year research. It must be reliable. Hurray, let’s drink milk!
But hold on, actually, in another [...]

English Humour – Security level

This is hilarious. I don’t know the source to quote.
The British are feeling the pinch in relation to the recent terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.” Londoners have [...]

Freaky Friday 13th

Yeah yeah yeah… Just the whole idea of Friday 13th is freaky enough.
Do you walk under any wooden ladder today? Or see a black cat? Or your boss yells at you? Or your car tire bursts? Do you believe the curse is real?
Well, I don’t. I’m not the kind of superstitious woman who can [...]
