I absolutely can not wait until i go on holiday in 5 weeks lol, i need to get away, i enjoy my time off work far too much! Because of my bosses mess up with asking me to do one thing, when the other boss wanted something completely different it meant i spent all friday redoing what i'd done thursday and my friday stuff that is needed before 10 am monday i didn't get chance to get it done, so i worked on most of it today :-( boo! Further news looks like my office is moving to london. But i don't have any idea when, hopefully find out more soon!
Just had this emailed to me, prolly been doing the rounds a lot but here it is - it made me chuckle!
Being British Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish Kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. (well, we like to pick the best of everything)
And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything foreign. Naturally!
Oh and......
Only in Britain ...
Can a pizza get to your house faster than an Ambulance.

Only in Britain ... Do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and lock our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

And finally........ In 2000 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the toilet.
You are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone. Stressful and frustrating situations can sometimes be upsetting to you, but you are often able to get over these feelings and cope with these situations. Novelty, variety, and change spice up your life and make you a curious, imaginative, and creative person. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. Sounds about right!! don't know if it's a good or a bad thing! LOL
