Things you don't see on the Tube every day, #27

Group of men re-assembling a trombone... must say that's a new one for me!

Still recovering

Yawn - still waking up from Sunday night Seahawks win ... after being a fan for so long, I literally cannot believe it they're going to the Superbowl. It's surreal - and made even more so by being in London, where, frankly, no one cares.

SO - I face a dilemma... do I watch the game at home, in my same t-shirt / sweatpants combo that clearly has served them well? Or do I go to the Sports Cafe, enjoy the game amongst other fans, with a great atmosphere, knowing that the venue could very well be, in the words of my friend Dave, 'bad juju'. But perhaps it's only bad juju for him and/or for baseball - as it's where we watched the Sox lose to the Yankees in 2003.

Then again, even if it does mean bad luck - if I watch the game there, does that mean the Seahawks will lose but go on to win the Superbowl the following year??

Need a sports-superstition ruling on this one I think... Mom?

Help! Strapline needed!!!

Help - I need a 'tagline'!

I'm finally getting business cards printed, and here at wheel we don't have job titles on our business cards, we have taglines.

For example, the CEO's card says 'The buck stops here'

A junior account exec's reads 'Any colour as long as it's pink'

Our group account director says 'Shoes are beauty, beauty is shoes' or some such thing...

I need to find something that sums up my personality + my role in business development in a few words... needs to be witty, clever, business-like, ack... and all about 6 - 7 words.

thoughts & comments here please!

The Seahawks win the pennant! The Seahawks win the pennant!

OK, not quite - and still a few game(s) to go. But boy was I gripped Saturday night watching the game. I cannot remember being so tense as a mere spectator! Not sure if I can go through it all again next Sunday, especially as the game's that much later, and on a school night. Then again, I'm not sure I could stand to miss it!

I'm also trying to find out if there are any 'Hawk supporter clubs in the London area. I've found Hawksnest - but it doesn't appear to be entirely up-to-date, especially in the 'events' section. Last event Nov 04. Hmm...

Happy birthday little brother!

Happy 28th birthday to my not-so-little anymore brother! The attached photo, however, highlights your skills from an earlier year... maybe 1985? Ah - happy days!




(btw - a subscription to Time Out Chicago should be starting for you soon... as well as a card from your behind schedule sister!)

There & back again

As you may have guessed by lack of news coverage, the plane did successfully arrive in Seattle, despite my worst fears. And the Seattle-London plane also arrived back in London yesterday. So much for my planned tourist-in-Seattle posts! I'll have to do them retrospectively... In summary though - great and relaxing holiday, now back to the real world...
