I Want to Work For Google In Zurich!

IT TAKES A LOT to get me excited about things, unless of course I’m really pissed off at something, in which case you can measure the time from normal to apocalyptic in terms of nanoseconds and the trail of dead or dying bodies in my wake is usually a bit of a giveaway too… anyway I’ve just seen a bunch of photos from the Google Zurich office and I’m now officially jealous.

Actually I think it’s worse than that. Ah hell it’s much worse if I’m honest. I’m now lthinking about where I currently work, and the various outfits / offices I’ve worked in for the last – well lets just say “few decades” – and I’m beginning to realise that I’m way beyond jealous. Yup I’m actually really really pissed off.

Seriously folks, have you actually seen these offices? It’s like someone read my mind about the perfect place to work. It looks so perfect they probably don’t have a HR department or any accountants clogging up the place and bringing all the creative people down… but then again that would be too perfect wouldn’t it?

Just look at the few photos I’ve managed to glean from the ‘Net below and tell me you’re not completely jealous and now considering a career change… or at the very least that you’re not also considering going ‘postal’ on your current office in response to the way the ‘other half’ work/live.

Film Quiz: Can You Guess The Films From The Famous Last Lines?

IT’S BEEN A FEW weeks or so since I managed to drag my ass to the cinema so I decided to pull together a quick film quiz for those of you who like this sort of thing.

The format is easy actually. The list of 10 lines below are somewhat famous “last lines” from films over the years; in other words they were the very last line or lines uttered before the film ended.

Can you guess the film titles from the last lines?

Now – I know some of you out there just automatically go to Google and search for pretty much everything, but try exercising those little brain cells of yours for a change and see how many you can get without having to resort to the all seeing all knowing search engines.

To answer, simply add a comment to this post and indicate each answer by it’s corresponding last line number. I’ll let you know if you are on the right track or not. Some are pretty easy (well I think so, but then I’m a bit of a movie buff) but others might present you with at least some sort of challenge.

Good luck!
