Falkirk Wheel - Engineering Marvel

Our last attraction in Scotland was not one of the planned. A colleague who borrowed us the GPS asked us where were we heading to in Scotland. We mentioned the usual few famous name like Edinburgh, Loch Ness and etc. Then, he was mentioning this:

PK : Oh, why don't you visit Falkirk Wheel (in a typical British accent)?
Vincent and I : Huh? F*cker Wheel? (what we listened)

PK: It's an award winning structure. It's a very famous.
Me: Hmmm...( famous for for being ugly?)
PK: It's a rotating boat lift connecting the 2 canals of different levels.

Vincent and I: Oh........(blurred and still wondering what is F*cker Wheel)
PK: Let me google for you... (some typing on the keyboard)
Me: Oh, Falkirk!!!!!! I know I know. Falkirk is a place name. I see. I see.


Word of the day : Bitch


A colleague of mine sent out an email to all of us and end her lines like, "...no finger pointing, bitching or complaining...."

I quickly go google and found that "bitching" means complaining and a shocked discovery that "bitch" can also be used on guy. It means a weak man.

I showed my Ireland colleague, Brendan about my discovery and told him, "You better stop bitching around, or I will call you a bitch, Brendan!"
