Twitter has introduced me to some funny shit, but this site is possibly the funniest. Wow doesn't even begin to describe it.

This is hilarious from the message board. There are 3 of John Lennon's son (Sean).

Going to Wimbledon for the first time on Monday

Not sure what tickets you have but when I went I had a lot more fun walking round all the smaller courts than I did on centre. You get a much closer look at the players on court and quite often some of the more famous players will watch matches on the outside courts when they aren't playing so its good if you're into autographs/photos

Had an amazing day - wasn't lucky enough to be on Centre but that didn't matter. Was on Court 2 where we watched no.3 seeded woman Radwanska win, then stayed on to see Venus Williams knocked out in the first round.

I agree though Deadly it's the atmosphere that really gets you - and one of the best bits came right after we arrived and were getting our bearings, walked past 1 of the smaller courts to see one Novak Djokovic doing a bit of a warm up before his first round match!!!

We also saw British hopeful Oliver Golding - unfortunately he lost in 4 sets but he played well and the backing from the crowd was amazing - really great to be a part of, electric atmosphere!

- you might want to listen to what is playing at 1:15...

Apparently there's some new cable cars opening across the thames today? That looks cool.

This ad I found on Craigslist the other day (yes, I read the Craigslist personals, I'm dirty, sue me).

Do you like cats?...wanna earn a quick £100?
I'm desperate for a women to come round my house dressed as a cat (cat suit supplied) to give me a hand job (paw job) in front of my 3 cats (bingo, harry & bob).
This is not a wind up so please no idiots giving me abuse.
manchester area... pics preferred.
Did this last year and had great response. if you applied before please don't bother applying again.
No black women. No under 18's

I think the fact that he specified the names of his cats is my favourite part.

[Nicola_Red]

I'm addicted to the Craigslist personals. So many weirdos.

You found my Ad!

I've been approached via LinkedIn out of the blue and offered an interview for a new position at an educational company - I'm quite excited because my work in my current role has become a bit stagnant, boring and I'm not doing what I was brought in to do. Not to mention that it could come with a fairly significant pay rise.

[dimtimjim]

Good luck on that Andy...

Good luck! Sounds brilliant.

[chrysostom]

Ah it's a recruiter's best friend round these parts. But you need a properly filled in profile, as well as decent experience.

[dimtimjim]

Good luck! Its the first time I've heard of LinkedIn actually creating job opportunities.

Really? Its used extensively in my industry...

[chrysostom]

Can I connect with you?

(someone had to say it)

Haha.

I've had two unsolicited messages from recruiters in the last 6 months on LinkedIn about interview opportunities in Tunbridge Wells, I didn't know that many IT companies were here!

[Nicola_Red]

I had to follow a somewhat complex set of instructions via a blog post by Dave Gorman to stop people being able to invite me to join (and thus stop LinkedIn from sending me reminder emails every week for eternity). I have no interest in a professional network, I don't have a profession, I'm a lackey at best. They make it very difficult for people to opt out.

[chrysostom]

In essence, it's that individual sending you an email though. It's their fault for inviting you!

[MK Chris]

I have no interest in a professional network, I don't have a profession, I'm a lackey at best.

But then that kinda begs the question why join in the first place?

[Nicola_Red]

You're right. I imagine it does that thing where it encourages you to just invite everyone you know either via Facebook or in your email contacts. At that point the individual would do well to consider why some people they know, like me, might have no interest in it, rather than just doing a blanket invite. But I also think LinkedIn are partly at fault for being so persistent in their reminders and not providing a clear way to stop them.

Exactly. That's why I don't want to and why I took so much time and trouble to stop people being able to invite me to join. I feel you may have misunderstood my post...

[MK Chris]

Ohh - inviting you to join. I thought you meant inviting you to join some kind of LinkedIn Groups once you were already joined up. Fair enough.

[MK Chris]

I'm stuck at work on a Saturday... but I'm smiling because my lovely new wife has sent a Domino's Meatilicious pizza with chicken strippers, wedges, garlic pizza bread and a bottle of Coke to my work!

Lovely jubbly...

That reminds me of this I saw once.

[Latina]

I was browsing an old thread, and found this post.

Made me miss Latina and realise that she would be the perfect person to have gotten advice from this past year with my flatmate!

(where did she go?)

I'm still around, sort of. I browse occasionally but haven't posted in a while, and I really should.

I have a new flatmate since we last discussed the issue, who is a lot better in some ways but (like so many people in my experience) doesn't realise that washing up includes making sure there isn't actually anything left on the plates.

Also he never does any housework or buying of any communal items, and every time I do he's all "Oh, you must remind me to do that next time". Yeah, just give me another thing I need to remember and rid yourself of the responsibility, why don't you.

[Latina]

Oops, that all moved topically into the realm of the other thread, sorry!

Making my smile today is the fact that I bought a new mp3 player on Amazon last night. It's in preparation for a holiday in August.

[chrysostom]

YEY. WELCOME BACK. I can finally unleash my crazy onto someone who will understand.

I moved in with my best friend 10 months ago, and it's been exactly this. I even considered starting a blog of pictures from his poor washing up. Kitchen cleaning, recycling, hoovering, changing the bins, putting away the washing up, fixing things, sorting out bills,throwing away food that is starting to rot. They're all my jobs, and as he gets in 20 minutes before me, every day he's commandeered the only decent seat in the living room, watching random sport (on my TV in the living room) and pushes me into my room - while using his free time to do nothing, as opposed to actually clean the flat!

AND HOW HARD IS IT NOT TO USE METALLIC OBJECTS IN A NON STICK PAN?!

/breathe.

But I'll be moving in with my partner soon, which (back on topic) is making me smile.

[dimtimjim]

You wait till she starts firing babies out her fanny, they're jus' as annoying as any messy flat-mate...!

I do sympathise though, real pain in the bumski.
