Since I work in one of the busiest corners of the world, I often find that a trip out for lunch is like an escape from Alcatraz with tourists everywhere stopping and pointing (they’re pointing the giant billboards like the Giant Xtina piccy by the way, they’re not pointing at me!).

Fortunately, technology has come up with a solution! This is definitely something that you babes out there will want to get your geek! Pedestrian Turn Signals are cool superbright lights that you can stick on your head – one behind each ear for maximum effectiveness – and then use the attached remote to choose which ear you want to light up, or light up both to show your braking! Perfect! Now I just have to convince my fellow 8 millions Noooo Yawkers that they NEED these and pedestrians will be flowing freely again! I have a dream…. (actually, I have lots of dreams, but this is a PG rated website)…one day everyone will have these! Get yours today!

Those Japanese ladies certainly get excited when it comes to having a bar of chocolate. They kind of bounce around and declare that it’s time to have a party, as you can see here.

Noice. Crazy, but noice!

I always thought that Hippos were slow creatures, but Hungry Hippos move faster than 2 Shoe’s camouflaged bike! Anyway, click here for a cool game of Hungry Hippos! YUM!

Here’s another story that sort of goes back to when I was a lil’ un. I was always taught that I should put on a fresh pair of underwear everyday just in case I was involved in an accident and had to go hospital. Hmm – now, maybe I wasn’t that bright back then (still aren’t?!) but I honestly believed that I could keep outta those nasty hospitals if I had on my fresh n’ cleans. Somehow, hospitals were only meant for people with horrid undies. Or that’s what I thought as a whippersnapper. By the way – hospital’s aren’t ALL bad – they have those nice babes in Uniform, but it’s all those Giant Needles that really don’t mix well with me that put’s me off. But if you’re a nurse and do a stirling job everyday, then richii.com salutes you!

Anyway, now I am older and wiser I realise that there is still value in this magic concept. Here’s a classic example of a non-richii.com duderino who failed to freshen up before gettin’ frisky. So be warned else this could happen to you! Stay fresh!

People do silly things sometimes! Here’s 14 of them to kick off your Tuesday – I think these are mainly Brit sayings, but those Noo Yawkers have been known to say some of them too! I always say number 11.. 🙁

1. People point at their wrist while asking for the time….I know where my watch is pal, where the flip is yours? Do I point at my body when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People are willing to get off their rear to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. People say “Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too”. Frickin’ right! What good is a cake if you can’t eat it?

4. People say “it’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why the heck would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?5. While watching a film people say “did you see that?”. No tosser, I paid 10 quid/bucks to come to the cinema and stare at the muppet floor.

6. People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”. Didn’t really give me a choice there, did you sunshine?

7. When something is ‘new and improved!’. Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

8. When people say “life is short”. What the f*ck?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?

9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, “Has the bus come yet?”. If the bus came would I be standing here, Knob head?

10. People who say things like ‘My eyes aren’t what they used to be’. So what did they used to be? ears, Wellington boots?

11. When you’re eating something and someone asks ‘Is that nice?’ No it’s really revolting – I always eat stuff I hate.

12. People who announce they are going to the toilet. Thanks that’s an image I really didn’t need.

13. McDonalds staff, who pretend they don’t understand you if you don’t insert the ‘Mc’ before the item you are ordering…..It’s has to be a McChicken Burger, just a Chicken Burger get blank looks. Well I’ll have a McStraw and jam it in your McEyes you McTosser.

14. When you’re involved in an accident and someone asks ‘are you alright?’ Yes fine thanks, I’ll just pick up my limbs and be off.

So this weekend I watched Ecuador play footie in the Copa America. 2 Shoes was telling me about how good his Ecuadorian team was this year and how they were going win the thing. So my expectations were high. But damn, they were just plain bad. It was sort of like watching Sunday league footie at the park. Turns out they’d gotten this guy to play as a striker at the last minute, hence the dodgy play. Did you know that Ecuador has a Miss Rainforest Ecuador? Neither did I – here she is: here and here. Hmm – she likes to kiss frogs – maybe I have a chance here?

Anyway, during the summer footie hiatus, I recommend to everyone who’s team did not play well over the last month that they support FC Fabulous because they are simply Fab!

Work getting you down? Too many assignments with too soon a deadline?

Then you need to take follow in this funky kitten’s footsteps and take a trip on your motorbike round London!

CHILLOUT!!!

Ahhh – I feel so much better now… 🙂 Stay calm!!

Many, many moons ago when I was a lil’ whipper-snapper (some say I still am!) I got a summer job working at BBC Pebble Mill in Birmingham. No, I wasn’t a famous star, nor was I an artsy wannabe – instead I was working in the mail room. Look – here’s a photo of Stacey K in the mailroom! (BTW, I don’t know Stacey, nor do I know this particular mailroom, I just thought I’d give all you readers a look into such a place!).

Anyway, it was a cool job for 2 summers – not much stress and not too much hassle. Anyway, sometimes people would ask for tapes to be sent via courier from one office to the other. So you’d fill out the paper work and away you go.

So that brings me to my funny story – last week someone in London dropped off a tape to be sent asap to BBC Bristol. Simple enough request, right? Well, click here to find out what arrived at BBC Bristol the next day!

You can also find the full story here.

That kinda thing could happen to anyone – here’s looking forward to a fridge appearing at your front door in the near future!
