Radiohead Close 2007 With a Free Gig and Everyone’s Invited. Kind Of.

Ensuring that no other band has the slightest chance of being the most talked about in 2007, Radiohead are closing the year that belonged to their record, In Rainbows, with a full pre-recorded live performance of it on NYE. From Dead Air Space:
As you may now have heard we will be broadcasting a pre-recording of [...]

Banking, Relocating & Australia Day

In a never-seen-before banking drama, ie Societe General loosing 5 billion euros with one simple little click of a computer mouse, I’m about to change current account. It might seem very boring, but because I’m supposed to be relocating in March I’m looking into the bank underbelly of hidden costs and services/unservices they can offer.
So [...]

Sunday Jukebox & random thoughts

Howdy ! Cowboy style, I’ve manage to be courageous enough to get my arse over to the very nice dentist mother recommended. Yeah, I had to get rid of my upper-wisdomteeth so I could fly to Dubai without stressing over the fact I’d have to remove them over there in unknown conditions… So the dentist [...]

A to Z : Joining Emirates Cabin Crew

Many have asked how to join the company as Cabin Crew, many questions. I’ll try my best to answer them in ONE post. I’ll try to give a detailed chronology of how you could get a job working for Emirates, but that is only based on my experience so far. There’s probably other ways to join but I’ll go for the most common one, the one that applies to any wannabees out there. I’ll also try to design some sort of chart to be even clearer.

How do you enroll in an Airline ? Here’s the definite answer.

In fact, I never saw this video until the open day. Dad actually forced to apply online.It was a gamble I knew I wouldn’t match their criteria. To little did I know…

Landlords

Ok I finally gathered all the papers I needed to update for the medical handbook. Yet another stressful day. Been waiting for the landlord all afternoon in order for HIM to change our leaking tap in the kitchen, as well as the leaking tap in the toilets.
UPDATE : The landlord has finally made his way [...]

BLOOOODY RADIOLOGISTS

How hard is it for a HIGHLY educated Radiologist (with like at least 10 years of high education, not mentioning the many english courses he had to take in order to get his license) to type me up an English Report ? This bloomin’ ¨***%¨¨*%ker wouldn’t type up a 3 line report in english because [...]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs & The Editors

I needed to share this with you guys. These are two tracks I can’t get away from, the almighty Yeah Yeah Yeahs ‘ Pin track and a brilliant cover of “Feel Good Inc.”from the Editors (a major 2007 breakthrough band…) during Jo Whiley’s Live Lounge. Enjoy !

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Pin

The Editors – Feel Good [...]

Next hurdle ?

I have a Mount-Fuji-like of things to do before I jet off to the middle east. Here’s a memo for myself :

Empty my locker at the hotel, it’s full of nonsense, I got about 20 pens, 6 cork-screws and hundreds of bottle caps (from the time I used to empty my pockets from a shift [...]

Medicals sent !

Ok, it’s around 3 o’ clock in the morning, just sent the medicals to Dubai, and the sun there is about to show up. Their offices open in about a few minutes from now !! I’m dreading what they gonna say. Hope everything is ok. Doctor said so. Cross fingers !

Update : Medicals !

I’m finally into the whole thing now, I can see clearly now the rain has gone as Jimmy would say. Been running around like a headless chicken for the last week, 18 hours per day is quite long, especially for a lightweight like me. Anyway, just been for Chest X-rays, got it in English as [...]

M E D I C A L S !!!!!!!!!

Next step in that rush to Dubai, is of course the famous and dreaded medicals. To add to the challenge, they have to be completed in 2 weeks only. So when you’re working full time in some office, you can battle hard to find a slot in the middle of the day for X-rays without [...]
