Good Cruising Spas In Vegas
Sunday Breakfast What drive? Pulling a sickie
In England it is quite common to find road vans and trucks with a rear bumper that says "How's my driving?" "Well driven?" or a similar sign with a phone number. The idea is that if people can call to complain to the company by antisocial driving one of their drivers, they will be encouraged to move cautiously and courteously.
This all sounds reasonable enough, but being English as they are, it was inevitable that takes it a step further. Although many of these stickers are initiated by the company owning the vehicle, there are at least a couple of organizations you can join so you can manage the system, collect calls and communicating incidents. One of the most widespread precisely called "How's my driving" , and is recognized by its distinctive yellow and black symbol of a triangular shape.
That's "what about driving?" is a good example of practice that would not make sense to implant in Spain, where driving like constipated ogre is the norm. People what they would do dip into the phone at the wheel and call in time to drop a good word or two thick. However, a couple of months ago I was surprised this van was carrying a sign that other similar but more tedious. See, see (click on photo to enlarge, the blot on the number added).

Cruissing Areas En Manhattan
yesterday Did you stay at home and pretending you did not go to work sick? According to a study published a few years ago (which I have not found a trace on the internet that may not exist), the first Monday in February in Britain is the biggest day of absenteeism throughout the year. That is why this day is known lately humorously as the National Sickie Day . You may have regarding the Saddest Day of the year , the saddest day of the year, which falls on January 26 and was also recently discovered. " Sickie" is a slang word quite nice. expression used to pull / throw / chuck a sickie , refers to the practice of missing work or illness alleging false. Last year a study sponsored by the CBI British employers revealed that 12% of work absences due to health were false [the study arrived at this figure by a rather dubious method: asking many entrepreneurs thought absences were feigned sickness].
Besides potentially interested surveys, the sickie another interesting element of the British labor folklore. As always, the British have not only a concrete expression to talk about this phenomenon but it appears quite frequently in newspaper articles .

How Much Do Servers Make At Bonefish Grill
Hand of God
Tassotti What do you think? If you do not know football is most likely that you may have no idea who I'm talking about. Tassotti is the Italian national team player, in the final minutes of their quarter-final between Spain and Italy World Cup 1994, Luis Enrique gave him a nudge in the area (video ) that left him bleeding . This aggression should have been penalty, to which Spain could have tied the game he was losing, but the referee did not see and Spain was eliminated.
I may be wrong, but I doubt many people this story will continue to lose sleep. In England, however, such things are taken far more seriously. This week the tabloid The Sun , one of the country's best-selling daily, published an interview Maradona in which the player apologized for the first time the goal of the famous "Hand of God" (video ) that marked England's quarter- Mexico World Cup final 86 and removed them. In England national team are taken much more seriously than in Spain, and this episode in their sporting history is still part of people's memory, while the news of the alleged apology (well watered) has had some resonance in several serious media as Times or the BBC.
course, the likes football Maradona is huge Tassotti that of making the episode of the Hand of God continues to be remembered (even outside of England), but what amuses me is that, after more than twenty years, the British continue to hurt injustice that sport.
