Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I've always thought Willie Wonka was fiction, but no! Today I had real Wonka candy, brought by my friends from HICC.

Dutch Celebrations

Here you can see the Dutch tv spot for the Celebrations chocolates. I'm posting the spot because it shows one of the most characteristic features of the Dutch.
Ali B, one of the most famous rappers here in Holland, is actually from Arabic origin. He shows up at his mother's birthday party bringing a box of Celebrations. While he's greeting his mom, the box is passed from hand to hand. Ali follows the chiocolates but when he finally gets hold of the box, there's only a single tiny Mars chocolate left. An old lady takes it right under his nose. Ali's mother sees him holdind the empty box and harshly tells him a dutchman.

If someone is still wondering what's the bottomline: the Dutch are unbelievably greedy & stingy. Good that they can at least make fun of themselves.

Fat Boy Slim

Fatboy Slim never stops bringing joy to my life. Again - an unbelievable video telling about those old jeans of Norman's . Now with an option to shoot you own jigglers video for "That old pair of jeans", which Mr. Cook would watch himself and possibly announce as a winner. Just remember, you only have time till 19th this month.
More info about the contest here.

Wipe it!

The official toilet paper of WC '06. Printed in orange, of course.

WC stands for World Cup, silly!

Specialized help

Job ad reads:
Seeking a housekeeper. Requirements: high-school education, experience in cleaning and ironing, confidentiality and loyalty. Send a CV, picture and a copy of your high-school diploma at the following email...

I've always believed that the info how much litter one produces, what kind of socks they wear and how many pairs a week, what kind of cleansing materials they use, etc. should be strictly confidential. This add only confirms my belief.
Another very important requirement are the Maths and Literature grades from high school. For some households the Geography grade is also quite important.
Let's not forget the way a housekeeper should look - no one wants an ugly person to take care of their home, right?!

Otherwise a payment of 2 euro per hour is not a bad at all for Bulgaria, especially for a non-qualified labor.
