and, in other news...

I managed to piss off an entire football team. ( if you want to know the secret, read here )

I also annoyed one of my UK colleagues( There's an art to these things. )

moreover, at work...

I took a class on how to 'decipher' Arabic names. ( and learned various interesting things )

oh, and...

Some of you (you know who you are!) will find this amusing. The course I took on Arabic names? put together by a retired intelligence officer who is now a contractor training folks like me. Very assiduous about sourcing his information. The source listed on one slide? This article.

I giggled... :-)
