I was speaking to my brother tonight. It turns out his very good friend got a job for Google, and right now is just waiting for a visa to be issued. Not sure how long that will take – but it should be in the next 6 months some time. They were given a time of about 10-12 weeks for their furniture to be transferred to the USA.

There is a site that describes a whole lot of sayings about languages. One of the ones I loved was “English is what you get from Normans trying to pick up Saxon girls.” They have a whole lot of other similar quotes too…

I love Kebabs… one of the things I had no idea about was how they cook the meat. this site includes information on how to make your own cooker. Looks interesting…
