Yet Another Week

This was a very interesting quiz that was part of the Sunday paper a week or so ago. I think it's a good piece to share with friends as it helps bring out the elephant in the room that we have all been ignoring.

I also came across these funny cartoons online. Simple yet rather amusing.

Since Val's has just past us and some of your ladies out there shall be looking for a man to spend the days after that with, here is a good survey for you to print out and make him take, so as to see if you are getting quality or not.

I was reading this story about Real Madrid and their Club President had me lost for words......

'Iker Casillas and Raul have both agreed to stay with the club for the rest of their sporting lives,' Real president Ramon Calderon told a news conference on Thursday.
'On this day, which is Valentine's day, Iker, Raul and Real can say they love each other, they need each other, and complement each other and will commit for life.


I have a confession to make, I am a serial student ID abuser. After my undergrad degree I used my student ID for around 4 years whenever and wherever I could; the only sad thing is that it had an expiry date at the back showing when I was due to have graduated so that severely limited its' use. Since I graduated last year I have had a new ID to abuse and this one has no expiration date!!! I have used it to get a cheap gym membership, cheaper movie tickets and I recently used it to buy concert tickets at student rates. Only when I get white hairs and no longer look like the chap in the picture is when I shall stop using that student ID.

I was reading Bankelele's blog the other day and one his inflation index he had the price of a pack of fries in Nairobi at 50 - 60 shillings. Oh, the horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes yes I know that that price may drop when potatoes become more readily available and the price of cooking oil drops, but damn! That is still way too much to pay for fries. Anyway I guess air burgers it is for people in Nairobi now sadly.

Have a nice weekend all!

Came across your blog and your reads are funny!

I abused my college ID for years after I graduated until my purse was stolen. I'm actually glad. I wasn't feeling right about the practice. Be blessed!
