I like handshakes. They are simply, and allow a person to stay comfortable, and not have to overtly show themselves to a stranger. Unlike a hug. You can tell a lot about a person from a handshake. From a hug, you can tell to much about a person, which if they are a non intimate is uncomfortable to say the least.
Besides, I was a bit to huggy with a girl one drunk time, and I got sprayed in the face with this thing that left me blind and in agony for half an hour.

This tip inspired by Neely.
Tip 63: When setting work for other people, make sure you're capable of doing it as well.
I've just spent the entire afternoon sweating over a piece of translation I gave some of my students - I hadn't realised how difficult it was, and even I've been struggling to make sense of it. Poor kids, I'll have to apologise to them for this...
I wouldn't recommend it this is a true story:Quote:

It was then he knew that some day he would be carried aloft by such balloons. This obsession would be with him for the next 20 years. On July 2nd, 1982, Larry tied 42 helium-filled balloons to a Sears lawn chair in the backyard of his girlfriend's house in San Pedro, California. With the help of his ground crew, Larry then secured himself into the lawn chair which was anchored to the bumper of a friend's car by two nylon tethers. He took with him many supplies, including a BB gun to shoot out the balloons when he was ready to descend. His goal was to sail across the desert and hopefully make it to the Rocky Mountains in a few days. But things didn't quite work out for Larry. After his crew purposely cut the first tether, the second one also snapped which shot Larry into the LA sky at over 1,000 feet per minute. So fast was his ascent that he lost his glasses. He then climbed to over 16,000 feet. For several hours he drifted in the cold air near the LA and Long Beach airports. A TWA pilot first spotted Larry and radioed the tower that he was passing a guy in a lawn chair at 16,000! Larry started shooting out a few balloons to start his descent but had accidentally dropped the gun. He eventually landed in a Long Beach neighborhood. Although he was entangled in some power lines, he was uninjured.
Jesus!!
Tip 64 - Beware of helium balloons, and, have a back-up plan!
Fancy dropping the gun.
Tip 65 - If you are a pilot and see a man in a deck chair floating on balloons - ignore him and let natural selection take its course.
:skep: Screw that.Quote:

Hahaha! I hope that this is true, picturing you getting maced by a chick is hilarious (almost but not quite as hilarious as picturing you getting punched in the face for throwing a drink on someone who's cologne was too strong).Quote:

So revolting even the internet dares not show it....
No it's not revolting, just amusing. For some reason, Imageshack have been deleting selected images, if they go on doing so I will change to another company.Quote:

Russianwives.com - not as honest as it sounds.
They have a sort of random screening process where people can report images as inappropriate, this is to cover them from the liability of being seen as tacitly endorsing the use of their site for the distribution of pornography or illegal images.Quote:

Hahaha, are you saying that you have a whole host of these stupid pictures of partially nude fat people (of which you seem to have an abundant supply) on an Imageshack account? That you actually spend time finding these pictures and saving them onto your account for... what? Do we even want to know?Quote:

Tip 67: Always keep in mind that work is about working as little, for as much as possible, and not the other way around.

Tip 69: if you want to remain interested in a new bag of dry roasted peanuts, don't sniff them upon the first opening.
I did ... I did manage to get them down though...
Tip 70: Always have sliced loaf in the cupboard to bulk out an inadequate meal.
A great Yorkshire tradition. You can make a sandwich out of anything - curry, mash, beans... anything.
Agreed, but great in which sense of the word ?Quote:

Good one. I'd ran out of everything the other week and had to give my youngest bread and butter for dinner! "ohh, bread and butter, I love bread and butter sandwiches" she said...:nod: Bless.Quote:

Yes Daddy is the normal term that children use in England although there are variants. Mommy seems to be peculiar to the USA but its English equivalent is Mummy. In France it's Papa and Maman and in Germany it's Vatti and Mutti.Quote:
