TOO MANY COOKS.....

Too many cooks spoil the broth, says an English proverb. Just on the contrary, I'm sure that one's cooking tastes much better when helped by others. If you don't believe me, try this great Lennon & Jagger mix first and then go on looking for inspiration by following other famous English gurus, Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson. Good luck!!

The Party is Over

Whether you are a party animal or a party pooper, whether you love stag/hen nights or you hate them, you will find amazing how many different types of parties you can be invited to. Click here to learn about them, and decide then which one/s will suit you best. Once you have made up your mind, Harry Potter himself can teach you how to invite someone to go to a ball (but try and sound more self-confident!) . If you have already been asked, you'll find here some suggestions about turning down an invitation without hurting anyone's feelings. If, on the contrary, you are willing to be the life and soul of the party, find some inspiration in the the roaring twenties and Gatsby's great parties.

THANKS!!!!!!!

Thanks everybody for these three years, today was the sort of day when one realizes how good life can be.....
"Forget your troubles, c'mon get happy....."
See you around!

Mark Twain
Mark Twain’s real name was Samuel Longhorne Clemens, and he was born in 1835. Haley’s comet was visible in the sky on the night he was born and so it was on the night he died, in 1910. He was a novelist, a journalist, a travel and a short story writer and also a successful lecturer, and one of the greatest American writers of all times.
