Summer Ball "Edinburgh Tango Society"

It sounds pretty well... let see if we can go...

The ETS Summer Ball - "Just Dance" Weekend
Saturday 28th - Sunday 29th May 2005

Dancing from 8:30pm - 2:30am
South Hall, Pollock Halls, Dalkeith Road

[MAP]

This year the Summer Ball is at the end of May, and takes place in the new hall at Pollock Halls, where the last winter ball/Bailongo show happened. Music for the evening will be provided by guest DJ Garrit Fleischmann from Frankfurt.
"Just Dance" Weekend

As well as the ball there will be dancing on Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm, and the Sunday milonga from 7-11pm. That makes nearly 24 hours of dancing over the weekend. Why "Just Dance"? Because that is all there is this weekend - no shows, no classes to attend - Just come and dance all weekend at one of the UK's largest and longest tango dance events this year.
Tickets

Reserve tickets from here or buy them at the milongas and classes (see Siobhan, Toby, Jessie or Brian).

Paying the cost to be the boss... Great Song, innit?

by
B.B. King
recording of 1967
from
King Of The Blues 4 CD Box Set (MCA MCAD4-10677)
You act like you to don't wanna listen,
when I'm talking to you
You think you outta be my baby,
anything you wanna do
You must be crazy, baby,
you just gotta be out of your mind
As long as payin' I'm the bills, woman,
I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I'll drink if I wanna,
and play a little poker too
Don't you say nothing to me,
as long as I'm taking care of you
As long as I'm working baby,
and payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you,
about the way I'm supposed to leave
You must be crazy, woman,
you just gotta be out of your mind
As long as I'm footin' the bills,
I'm paying the cost to be the boss
Now that you got me,
you act like you are a shame
You don't act like my woman,
you just using my name
I tell you I'll gonna handle all the money,
and I don't wanna no back talk
'Cause if you don't like the way I'm doing,
just pick up your things and walk
You must be crazy baby,
you just gotta be out of your mind
As long as paying the bills,
I'm paying the cost to be the boss

Funny Answering machine messages

Funny Answering Machine Messages...

Roses are red, some willows weep, please leave your message, after the beep

"Hi, we aren't in at the moment, if you are trying to sell us something please start speaking now and hang up at the beep, everyone else start speaking at the beep and hang up when you've finished."

I'm not here, so say goodbye, or leave a message, and I'll reply

Like Barney (the purple dinosaur):
I'll call you, cause you called me. We're the ______ family. So leave your
name and number at the tone. Sorry that we're not at home.

"Hi, you have reached the Borg collective. Please leave your name and star system and we'll assimilate you as soon as we can."

"Hey guess who this is? You guessed it. Guess what you have to do now? you
guessed it. Guess what's next? You guessed it..."

Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet, and so are you
The roses have wilted, the violets are dead,
The sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head
The roses stink, sorta like sheep
But leave your name, number, and message after the beep
The roses are molding, the violets are rotten
And I might call you back, if I haven't forgotten

Why people don't read?

It's a fact, people don't read, even if you write a beautiful set of "FAQs", nobody will ever read them, it is much easier to send an email, and ask again...

So annoying... feels like loosing time...

Orkut...

I was telling you the last time about orkut... it is great as a social tool... you make new friends and learn from another people points of view.. very interesting...

Some comments about it:
http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/3302741


But, basically, why do we want to share? Is it just our social nature?

Don't know as usual... but I like it...

and I keep adding more...

one scary...

Had anyone check on zaba? yes, check on http://www.zabasearch.com/ amazing, you can get details about people leaving in the US, without paying for it, and with a simple search... scary as well...

Slow Food movement

This is great, at last a place to find the nice little things we enjoy, and stop them from dying... GREAT IDEA!

www.slowfood.com is a movement to preserve the basics of enjoying food, wine, a good chat, family and preserve local food and wines. It was founded by a group of Italians, and now it is a worldwide association, Hope it grows more every day.

Cheers, with a glass in my hand!

On which

Funny

This IS funny, I just got a message that a friend receive my CV ( a 5 years old version)... it seems that some companies are selling their old HR database, and I was into one of them.. hehehehe...

Well, you never know, it might come a good job out of it ;)

Talking about Sandwiches....

Talking about snacks: the first association is a sandwich, and the origin is as British as it could be. The name refers to the Earl of Sandwich who lived 1718 to 1792.

The British have always been betting and gambling buffs. It's in accordance with their idea of sports and sportsmanship - basically a British philosophy.

But the Earl of Sandwich overdid it even by British standards. During his gambling days, taking meals was considered by him as highly unwelcome interruptions. He therefore invented a kind of meal not requiring him to exchange the gambling table for the dinning table: sandwiches.

HA!

More... yes, I'm busy in here!!

Hey another thought.. Have you ever been trying to open the car and someone just passed by? I always think they must be thinking I'm stealing the car... so I wave or say hi, so they look some other way...

Browsing on the web, I found a few other good resources, so I added them to the link section opn the left >>>>

Besides, I found some other stuff which is interesting:

www.arenin.com.ar Very smart site, they make money and provide a service to argentines in UK (bit short minded to name it Argentines in England... I'm in Scotland and use them anyway)
http://www.sapodeotropozo.com.ar/ Same idea a bit older, and a bit crazier... I like it!
www.mercado-argentina.com Great products, a bit expensive, but good products.. food, wines (great ones to impress), etc etc...
http://www.buenayre.co.uk/ Great place, and great food...

One more, for spanish speakers only, have you ever try www.periodismo.com a great resource full of TV, Newspapers, radios, etc...

Last one, check on www.la2x4.gov.ar ... great Tango !!!

cheers! I'll keep getting more info...

.gov.au Guide to Open Source Software

I always thought that government agencies should use OSS, let face it, no government should be tied to propietary companies

At least they think the same at Oz!

Happy about it....

2nd Thoughts... I got to excited, and forgot to google a bit, and read all the comments... anyhow, looks like the company providing the OS CMS, is not so OS as we thought... too bad: http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/software/0,2000061733,39190311,00.htm

Anyway, hope it changes for open and good....

DSpace?

Have you ever try www.dspace.org... looks like a great project...
I'm currently working with it... it is quite nice, and seems to be more stable than other implementations.

Playing with it a workmate show me www.plone.org, it is amazing, based on Zope (Python) it doesnt even needs a web server, it just the CM you have dream of, and it gives you enough flexibility...

I'll try to keep this up top date.

Another place...

Another virtual place... have you ever try www.orkut.com? it is great...
Probably you will need someone to invite you (you always need someone to invite you for a party...), but one you are in... oh, boy! there are so many cultures (mainly brazilians and someone else) that every post become a discussion... very nice...

Let me know if you want to come to play...

Cheers!
