Nachos Nachos Nachos! DIM SUM

London is devoid of Nachos... seriously devoid. At least Nachos that aren't made with Doritos and liquid cheese. They usually have no onions, jalapenos or meat on them and sometimes are even made with Cool Ranch chips!

So - Kate found Nachos packages at the Cooperative. Apparently they are good enough to return to the scene and get more to snack on tonight :)

Looking forward to that. I also had my first Dim Sum in London today which was pretty good. The pork shumai was the better part of it all but the shredded duck was quite tasty tasty too. Royal China restaraunt on the west end of Canary Wharf by the boat dock. ;)

Weekend with spit

This past weekend we ventured out to the Spitalfields Market. First Seb and I went out as I needed a haircut and my Turkish barbers are close to the market in Shoreditch. However with a 2 hour wait on the menu when we arrived I decided to just go see if Spitalfields was open and get a hotdog. It wasn't. But we came back! The very next day. For the Sunday Market and hotdogs. Yum.

I've been looking up things to do in London and have found one that I am quite interested in.. . It's a back of pub theatre currently showing 3 operas and a play. One of the operas is the Barber of Seville and it's been reset in to more modern times, I'm interested to see it but haven't asked around yet to see if anyone else is. On top of that I'm organising a paintball group game for the comrades at work in which I am sure to get my ass blown off. Yup. Opera breeds the need for violent gun battles.

I think the next few things on the docket are a ruins visit to one of the many heritage castle sites outside of London or perhaps a trip outside the country for Kate and I.

Can anyone spell Amsterdam? I can!

Another day, another ride.

So the other day I went to a kickoff meeting at my corporate headquarters. It was mostly sales team people and marketing. The tone of the whole meeting was 'You suck, sell more'. While I would expect this from a sales lead organization but the tone of the whole thing was almost abusive. I'm told that the person doing the talk is normally like that and everyone just sorta accepts it and moves on. Not an environment I could put up with let me tell ya.

After I embarrassed a good portion of the team with a question no one was able to answer effectively in front of the management team I decided to give my opinions on the forecasting of the company vs my views on consumer desire to the European manager. He did ask what I thought of the whole thing... I've always been really good at sliding right in to a company and not standing out. :)
