Just when you'd think global warming has solved all our snow problems for ever, we get two consecutive winters of record amounts of snow.  So far, in December, we have as much snow as last year in February.  I'm seriously glad I finished my military already, because this winter looks to be even worse than the last.

@Travis: We have more. :bigsmile:

Only over the last 20 years. Prior to that, it was in Liverpool. ;)

You lucky b*$#@! It's been 9 months I didn't see the rain, I dream of it, every single day and night.
Fortunately, the weather is fresh: Especially if you're wearing a tee-shirt and you're outside at 5 a.m for more than half an hour. 
 
Fuck. First day at new job: Hell.

Pays less then the first one, a hell of a alot more standing up, and I mean a hell of alot more (9 straight hours with a half hour break) and the conditions are lesser.
I'll do this 3 times a week so that I get some money and my parents get off my back.

On the up side(maybe kinda left side?) The ambassador of Kenya asked me if I play basketball.

And then in the end he's gonna complain how everybody assumes that he likes basketball, just because he's black.

Which reminds me of a story of a friend of mine. She is a very good-looking girl, who holds her outward appearance in high esteem and always dresses fashionable. She is married, at least by Islamic law (so she can sleep in one bed with her boyfriend in countries like Iran and Dubai).

Anyway, one day she tells me how she works in this fashion store, and in comes this well-dressed Arab man who buys several expensive suits, and compliments her on her great English (notabene, her English isn't terrible, but it is also not exceptionally good). He says he's the ambassador of the United Arab Emirates, and he's looking for a secretary who can write English and German. He gave her his card, took her number and told her he'd call her. My friend did not care for my objections to the logic of all this -i.e. an UAE ambassador asking an Iranian who speaks not a word of Arabic to be his secretary- and insisted that this "was her way out of this shithole". For a few weeks, I asked her if she had news from her "Arab stallion" and she kept taking offence at me teasing her. In the end, she finally bailed out when he told her they should discuss matters at a dinner for two.
 
Yeap. He transforms the small everyday-life stories to something interesting. This is quality of an artist; writer, more precisely.

Hey, Dean, what's your opinion about Kirghistan?
 
Well, the Uzbek women I met were about the most exotic I have ever seen. They generally encompass a mix of Arian, Oriental, and Arabic/Persian features. Stunning to say the least. Is this fortunate lady about the same?
