Hi everyone!

Hi everyone!
How are you all? Hope everyone is doing good.
Hey! I'm going to work at the education UK exhibition for British Council.
Just wanted to share with you people.
Why don't you all too post about yourself???
Waiting to hear from you all...
Take care.. :)

News at last! (is there anyone out there reading it??)

Hi!
Well, I'm still alive and well and feeling very, very guilty because I haven't tried to contact you before. I promise I haven't forgotten you, especially as I see my lovely elephant every day on my mantlepiece.
Really, I promise you, I've been very busy. The day before I left Sri Lanka I got an email from Aberystwyth University, saying they might have work for me. I had hardly arrived when I found myself teaching a foundation (pre-degree)course to three advanced students. I'm only teaching three days a week, but there's no text book, so I have to create all my own materials, and gear it towards academic study skills. Luckily I was able to make use of "An Inconvenient Truth"
I've just tried to add two photos of my house. I'm not sure if it's worked. If it has, you should see a view of the house from the beach and also the view from my window. You will see how close I am to the sea, which I really love. It's a little alarming though, especially given rising sea levels etc. etc. There are plans to build new sea defences, but as yet no work has started.
Well the weather here at the moment is literally FREEZING. Most of the UK has had snow, but we've only had a sprinkling. It's all very different from Sri Lanka!
Anyway, here's hoping someone out there will read this and respond!
I miss you all!

Hello..!!!!

Hello everyone...!!!!what's going on!!:)

Believe it or not !

When I was in grade 10, I so often forgot to clean my school lunch box. On the following morning, I just leave the lunch box with the leftovers of the ex-meal, on my table & takes the fresh lunch box with me to the school. It's not me, but my mum washes it.

One day, since I got up late, I forgot to remove the lunch box from my school bag.I went to the school with two lunch boxes in my bag : One, with the ex-meal and the other one, fresh.

The school started as usual.Then, the interval bell rang. I washed my hands & took the lunch box out of the bag. Every thing was quite normal for, the lunch box was not transperant and it fitted perfectly as if was sealed. So, there was no way to smell. Then, I opened the lunch box..................Alas !!!!

The entire class room filled up with a terrible smell. I just wanted the ground to open up. My best friend yelled " Eyaaaa " ( Yak ! ) The whole class was staring at me. The girls looked horrified and, the boys were giggling.

That was the last time I forgot to clean my lunch box, I can tell you.

The Einstein Quiz

Yesterday's "Deduction" exercise reminded me one of the great puzzles of that kind. One of my friends gave this to me several years ago. For me, this puzzle is the best one I have ever tried. I am sure all of you will also enjoy it.

Einstein said that 98% of people in the world cannot solve the following puzzle. And Einstein was usually right (that's why he's Einstein...!)

Here is the Einstein Quiz:

Facts:

1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colors.

2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.

3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.

4. No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same drink.

5. Hints:

a. The Brit lives in a red house.

b. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.

c. The Dane drinks tea.

d. The green house is on the left of the white house.

e. The green house owner drinks coffee.

f. The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.

g. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.

h. The man living in the house right in the centre drinks milk.

i. The Norwegian lives in the first house.

j. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats.

k. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill.

l. The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.

m. The German smokes Prince.

n. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.

o. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbor who drinks water.

Complaint

3rd April 2005

Dear Sir / Madam

I'm writing regarding the disconnection of my mobile number, referring to the complaint I made by the letter dated 29th March 2005 in response to your 'Final Demand' letter dated 28th March 2005, in which you have requested payment of a 769 Pounds bill.

It is unsatisfactory the you completely failed to respond to the above complaint and my new number was disconnected today.

As explained in the above complaint, on March 2nd my mobile phone was stolen and I reported the theft to the police and your company. Not only was I fully reassured by your representatives that I would not pay for any calls made after 3rd March, but you also sent me a new SIM card with a new number. I only made 3 calls between 1st and 3rd March which should come to no more than 3 Pounds. Under no circumstances am I prepared to pay any more than this amount since the reassurance given by your representatives.

At no time did anybody answer the phone even though I called your company several times after the very bad disconnection. While you are assuring the customer to provide the best service, ignorance of the customer like this is completely unacceptable and unethical.

I now expect you to reconnect the new number and to revise the bill for March with the charges for calls made after March 3rd removed with immediate effect. If no response is received within a period of 7 days (i.e. 10 April 2005), I will be forced to take the matter further with the regulatory bodies.

I look forward to a prompt response.


Ms. A Customer
