If Carlsberg did weekends ...

If Carlsberg did weekends ...

First things first ... and due to the nature of the content of this edition I need to put this at the beginning  ... the standard disclaimer ... (followed by another one at the end)

(The opinions expressed here are the views of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the University of Greenwich - Ed.)

Secondly, Congratulations to Prince William and Kate (or Catherine as I believe she is now to be called). I hope they have along and wonderful life together.

Thirdly ... to quote Franklin Roosevelt, Sunday, May 1^st , 2011 - a date which will live in infamy - the President of the United States of America announced that Public Enemy (not the rap dudes) #1  - Mr O.B.Laden has been (apparently) killed. Speaking of Osama, has anyone noticed his name is an anagram for “Bold, mean, Asian” or “Semi-old banana” He does look like one in this picture taken of him a couple years ago. Speaking of people that look like bananas, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed something rather interesting about Rihanna’s new “red hair” look.  I think she distinctly looks like one Mr Sideshow Bob. I shall throw it out to you to decide ...  I think the likeness is uncanny! The mastermind that is Bob has bested us and been posing as Rihanna.

Anyways, I digress ... Back to Osama. So apparently the Americans have finally found and subsequently killed the man. The mission was completed by a small group of soldiers. Apparently they were soldiers of fortune, and in a situation where no one else could help, if you could find them (and Obama did), you could hire ...  sounds too good to be true. Maybe Hollywood could follow tradition and make a movie about a crack commando unit that (for dramatic purposes) were sent to a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These people would then escape from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. I don’t know ... its just an idea. I know I would go and see that film! Speaking of films, this past weekend has been just like a Disney movie – A girl married a Prince, the bad-ass villain was killed and no one saw a dead body!

In other news, I am somewhat concerned about the Pakistani authorities. I heard that they were planning to employ this commando unit to help them find their lips and chins. Apparently they have been hiding under their noses the whole time. Although having said that, I am also not too sure about the capabilities of the American Central Intelligence Agency. Over the past ten years they have spent billions of their dollars, lost thousands of lives and where did they find the man??? At home!!! Kind of ironic really! So much for the Central INTELLIGENCE Agency.

In other news, Uzma was due to attend a christening (for which she purchased a new dress – see “Bread not Bombs, We knead the dough” ). She is not in and therefore no update on how that worked out. Apparently she was really excited about a new hat she had recently bought. When I see her I shall enquire about that.

Now that the Easter holiday is over, we are back to the normal functioning of the Enquiry Unit. Nicola now sits to my left. (we have moved to the other side of the corner of the office in which we sit) and has decided to attempt to annoy me (its not working). Apparently her mate whose name is Kevin, was out with the lads in central London, where he managed to hook up with what he thought was a rather attractive young lady. Well, he got 2/3. She was attractive and young ... I chose the picture of the blonde, but have just been informed by Nicola that the person in question actually looked more like the lovely brunette to her right. So he in fact got 0/3. This person was not attractive, young or in fact (as Kevin will attest to) a woman! It was rather amusing and caused Nicola to laugh more than she has ever done. This would explain the erratic driving skills! Speaking of which, last week she showed me some of her seen exam questions ...  I will share the most amusing ones with you.

1.    With reference to theories and empirical evidence, consider and discuss the attentional  processes that are involved while driving a car. (This question specifically relates to the most dangerous person on the road – Miss Nicola A. O.)

2.    How irrational are irrational beliefs?

3.    Women have higher rates of mental disorders than men. Why might this be so?
