We know that because we checked with Virgin. Polly in the press office confirmed that Branson phoned the man back because "he always likes to hear feedback".</p> <p>But she wouldn't confirm rumours that the Virgin boss thought this was the funniest letter of complaint he'd ever received.</p><br /><br /><p>Dear Mr Branson </p> <p>REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008 </p> <p>I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest incident takes the biscuit. </p> <p>Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at thehands of your corporation. </p> <p>Look at this Richard. Just look at it: </p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0ae35970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin1" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0ae35970b" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0ae35970b-800wi" title="Virgin1" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert? </p> <p>You don’t get to a position like yours Richard with anything less than a generous sprinkling of observational power so I KNOW you will have spotted the tomato next to the two yellow shafts of sponge on the left. Yes, it’s next to the sponge shaft without the green paste. That’s got to be the clue hasn’t it. No sane person would serve a desert with a tomato would they. Well answer me this Richard, what sort of animal would serve a desert with peas in:</p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0aeac970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin2" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0aeac970b" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0aeac970b-800wi" title="Virgin2" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I know it looks like a baaji but it’s in custard Richard, custard. It must be the pudding. Well you’ll be fascinated to hear that it wasn't custard. It was a sour gel with a clear oil on top. It’s only redeeming feature was that it managed to be so alien to my palette that it took away the taste of the curry emanating from our miscellaneous central cuboid of beige matter. Perhaps the meal on the left might be the desert after all. </p> <p>Anyway, this is all irrelevant at the moment. I was raised strictly but neatly by my parents and if they knew I had started desert before the main course, a sponge shaft would be the least of my worries. So lets peel back the tin-foil on the main dish and see what’s on offer. </p> <p>I’ll try and explain how this felt. Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard. Now imagine it’s Christmas morning and you’re sat their with your final present to open. It’s a big one, and you know what it is. It’s that Goodmans stereo you picked out the catalogue and wrote to Santa about. </p> <p>Only you open the present and it’s not in there. It’s your hamster Richard. It’s your hamster in the box and it’s not breathing. That’s how I felt when I peeled back the foil and saw this:</p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0af08970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin3" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0af08970b" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0af08970b-800wi" title="Virgin3" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s more of that Baaji custard. I admit I thought the same too, but no. It’s mustard Richard. MUSTARD. More mustard than any man could consume in a month. On the left we have a piece of broccoli and some peppers in a brown glue-like oil and on the right the chef had prepared some mashed potato. The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird. </p> <p>Once it was regurgitated it was clearly then blended and mixed with a bit of mustard. Everybody likes a bit of mustard Richard. </p> <p>By now I was actually starting to feel a little hypoglycaemic. I needed a sugar hit. Luckily there was a small cookie provided. It had caught my eye earlier due to it’s baffling presentation: </p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2efb970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin4" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2efb970c" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2efb970c-800wi" title="Virgin4" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>It appears to be in an evidence bag from the scene of a crime. A CRIME AGAINST BLOODY COOKING. Either that or some sort of back-street underground cookie, purchased off a gun-toting maniac high on his own supply of yeast. You certainly wouldn’t want to be caught carrying one of these through customs. Imagine biting into a piece of brass Richard. That would be softer on the teeth than the specimen above. </p> <p>I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was relax but obviously I had to sit with that mess in front of me for half an hour. I swear the sponge shafts moved at one point. </p> <p>Once cleared, I decided to relax with a bit of your world-famous onboard entertainment. I switched it on: </p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2f7c970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin5" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2f7c970c" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2f7c970c-800wi" title="Virgin5" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>I apologise for the quality of the photo, it’s just it was incredibly hard to capture Boris Johnson’s face through the flickering white lines running up and down the screen. Perhaps it would be better on another channel: </p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0b070970b-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin6" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0b070970b" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536f0b070970b-800wi" title="Virgin6" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Is that Ray Liotta? A question I found myself asking over and over again throughout the gruelling half-hour I attempted to watch the film like this. After that I switched off. I’d had enough. I was the hungriest I’d been in my adult life and I had a splitting headache from squinting at a crackling screen. </p> <p>My only option was to simply stare at the seat in front and wait for either food, or sleep. Neither came for an incredibly long time. But when it did it surpassed my wildest expectations: </p> <p><a href="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2fe6970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Virgin7" class="at-xid-6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2fe6970c" src="http://timesnews.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341d811753ef010536fa2fe6970c-800wi" title="Virgin7" border="0" /></a> </p> <p>Yes! It’s another crime-scene cookie. Only this time you dunk it in the white stuff. </p> <p>Richard…. What is that white stuff? It looked like it was going to be yoghurt. It finally dawned on me what it was after staring at it. It was a mixture between the Baaji custard and the Mustard sauce. It reminded me of my first week at university. I had overheard that you could make a drink by mixing vodka and refreshers. I lied to my new friends and told them I’d done it loads of times. When I attempted to make the drink in a big bowl it formed a cheese Richard, a cheese. That cheese looked a lot like your baaji-mustard. </p> <p>So that was that Richard. I didn’t eat a bloody thing. My only question is: How can you live like this? I can’t imagine what dinner round your house is like, it must be like something out of a nature documentary. </p> <p>As I said at the start I love your brand, I really do. It’s just a shame such a simple thing could bring it crashing to it’s knees and begging for sustenance. </p> <p>Yours Sincererly...</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com25tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23758060.post-75750547069633379452009-02-03T20:28:00.000-03:002009-02-03T20:29:03.759-03:00Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance<object width="425" height="335"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/k2pUDKiZAjXeLiVhdf"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/k2pUDKiZAjXeLiVhdf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="334" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23758060.post-68660444262763061842009-01-14T01:38:00.000-03:002009-01-14T01:39:35.565-03:00PORN YOU CAN WATCH AT WORK....

A vast lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists will insulate him from the rest of us but the mere fact that this man will be residing in this house should make us all stop and count or blessings - because it proves that we live in a nation where anything is possible.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">Many believed this day would never come. Most of us hoped and prayed that it would, but few of us actually believed we would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing in all of it's forms and there is little doubt that if this man had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have been a great outcry - possibly even rioting in the streets. Today, we can all be both grateful and proud that no such mayhem will take place.when this man takes up residency in this house.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">This man, moving into this house at this time in our nation's history is much more than a simple change of addresses for him - it is proof of a change in our attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a great wrong. It is a symbol of our growth, and of our willingness to "judge a man, not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character". There can be little doubt now that the vast majority of us truly believe that this man has earned both his place in history and his new address.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">His time in this house will not be easy - it will be fraught with danger and he will face many challenges. I am sure there will be many times when he asks himself how in the world he ended up here and like all who have gone before him, the experience will age him greatly. But I for one will not waste an ounce of worry for his sake - because in every way a man can, he asked for this.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">His whole life for the past fifteen years appears to have been inexorably leading this man toward this house. It is highly probable that that in the past, despite all of his actions, racism would have kept this man out of this house. Today, I thank the Lord above that I am an American and that I live in a nation where wrongs are righted, where justice matters and where truly anything is possible.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">Who is this man, you ask...</span><span style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 0%;
