The best thing about our General Election on Thursday is that so far I haven't heard anything about the world cup. Usually the media would be going on and on about it. :)

LOL! Then I go andf post on here about it.

I am just so proud of our stadiums. We were all worried about disappointing, being African.

We received the following email from the firm re football friday (wearing football shirts on a friday)I laughed my bloody ass off.

The RED CARD-the No-No’s

• No caps, scarves inside the office area
• Exposed cleavage and midriffs
• Ill fitting garments (too loose or too clingy)
• Skin tight pants
• Scruffy, washed-out denims
• Cargo pants with lots of detail-pockets, buckles
• Gym wear
• Tracksuits
• Nylon windbreakers
• Bomber – type leather jackets
• Oversized, floppy winter jerseys (the couch potato type)
• Football shirts that are too long (looks like you have a dress on)
• Beer boep hanging out from shirt
• Creased clothing
• Pants under waist–plumber’s crack
• Caterpillar type shoes
• Dirty sneakers
• Perspiration marks
• Greasy hair and dirty nails
• Afternoon shadow (men)
• Too much/too little make-up
• Out of control ear, nose, eyebrow hair

The WINNING GOALS-the Do’s

• Preferably a Bafana-Bafana shirt (doesn't need to be the official team shirt)
• Keep colours to a minimum (the brighter & the more colours you mix the more casual you will look)
• If your shirt is bright and colourful team up with dark, neutral pants
• Keep prints, names, slogans on shirts to a minimum (the more detail on a garment the more informal the look)
• A collared type golf shirt always looks smarter than a t-shirt
• A fitted shirt, tucked in to the pants is smarter than a shirt hanging out
• A dark indigo or black denim in a straight or bootleg cut
• Dark chino’s (navy, black, chocolate brown)
• A dark neutral classic cut leather jacket
• Classic style boot
• Dark neutral leather type sneaker

Also is that a serious list? or a joke? Because if it's a serious list then that firm needs to lighten up!
Posted by syl, around 6th May 2010:
 
It's a serious list sent out by the Marketing department! Yeah it's an accounting firm so go figure.

A bit crude but funny if you sing it in your head SG


World Cup Tourist anthem for Durban , sung to the tune of The Teddy Bears’ Picnic

If you go down to the beach today, you probably won’t be charmed;
If you go down to the beach today, you’d better not go unarmed;
For every conman, mugger and crook
Is lurking there wherever you look,
To confiscate whatever you brought to Durban !
If you go down to the front today, please try the Marine Parade;
Glue-sniffing tots in parking lots are waiting to ply their trade;
Approaching you with buckets and rags,
They’ll steal your chains and watches and bags;
Your hubcaps too, ‘cause that’s what they do in Durban !
If you go down to the sea today, please visit the Golden Mile;
We’ll give your wife the shock of her life in typical Durban style;
Behind the trees, where nobody sees,
We rape and kill whoever we please,
And that’s the way we’ll spoil her day in Durban !
If you insist on a swim today, please watch your step (just a bit)
Between the surf and the muddy turf are piles of human shit;
And just remember – nobody minds
Titanic tits and giant behinds,
In the underwear of yesteryear in Durban !
And when at last your vacation’s done, the day must soon arrive;
You’re broke and sad, but it’s not so bad, you’re lucky to be alive;
And when, next year you’re planning some fun,
A holiday of surfing and sun;
Recall your unforgettable one in Durban !

"Yeah it's an accounting firm so go figure"

If it'd an accounting firm then "Go Figure!" should be their slogan.

Why is this election so important? Sorry I don't know much about British politics :(

The answer needs a thread of its own, so I created one.
