Never divulge to anyone the secret of your success.

Well they say "start at the bottom and work your way to the top". Unfortunately it didn't work that way for Malapapa, he started at the bottom and still is at the bottom after cleaning toilets for 30 years!

But then theres Lana but thats another story which I'll let her tell. In my case get a good job first time and stick with it. :D

I’m a successful host for drinking binges so here are my top 5 tips for that special evening for your mates… :D

1. Tell your mates you’ve booked some gorgeous Russian women to show up on the evening because that really gets them excited and even though they know it’s not true they’re still hopeful! (Hope dies last) :wink:

2. Call up your friends while they’re on their way and tell them they’re running late because the rest of you just knocked off the Blue Label so they should grab a bottle while on the road! :wink:

3. Men eat like pigs and after a few drinks they’ll even chew on leather so it’s a good time to get rid of all those expired snacks that have been collecting dust for three years that nobody else will eat! :wink:

4. Never throw a Blue Label bottle away… just keep refilling it with Red and your mates will always appreciate the luxury treat and hold you in high esteem! :wink:

5. Make sure you’re sitting further from the fridge than all your mates, that way they get to fetch the ice all night! :wink:


So there you go people… five handy tips for a happy evening of male bonding! 8)

Whatever you do for a living never wake up and say "dont fancy going to work today" If thats the case "Your in the wrong job"

Dedication and commitment, trust and puting in loads of hard work, proving that you are the right person.

You will get your break eventually.

I got mine after 15 years, however I worked bloody hard for it.

Almost 19 years with 1 day off on sick leave and for that I was admitted in hospital.

I still enjoy my work & have been workig as hard as I did on the first day.
(dont ask what I do - I will have to kill you haahaha)

I am greatfull of having a respectfull job which I enjoy doing and at the end of the month helps me to pay of my depts

Do what you love so you can wake up everyday with a motive to go out there and do what you have to do.

also i believe success have to do with being with the right people in the right time and take chances..

You have style Lana
You are right not to learn to cook !
I think that is where I went wrong , I have a natural talent for cooking and I adore doing so , so I have been doing the cooking for years , my late wife hated cooking and never learned !!
I also wash up , do my own laundry , ironing , do my own wine tasting , but hate making my bed , and doing the hoovering .
Cooking Roast jerk chicken today with lyonnaise potatoes , roasted fennel and ...grilled halloumi . Starters a bowl of Trahana with plenty halloumi !!
Accompanied by a bottle of Roger Neveu Sancerre , followed by a bottle of Spanish Chardonnay , Finca De La Font de La Figuera , one of the finest Chardonnay wines to come of Spain.
The Sancerre wine from the Loire valley is an exceptional sauvignon blanc wine that generally is drunk as a follow up to a Chardonnay but because of the intense flavours of Jerk chicken I chose it as the most appropriate out of the two.
As for afters , a couple of hours of keep which just about rubs my day up !
Success or what !!
