Peanut butter, punch buggy, and po' boy are all I can think of at the moment.
I might be the only person out there, but i did not like "The Dark Knight" at all (hated Inception, too). Christopher Nolan has been an arthouse/Indiewood film favourite since Memento and Insomnia. Additionally, The Green Latern, even though having the delightfully quirky Michel Gondry (of "Be Kind Rewind" fame) at the helm, seems to be a total trainwreck according to most critics (will see it next week and judge for myself then).To which movies are you referring? I don't really pay attention to directors and whether or not they're art-farts or assholes or whatever.
Watch an actual episode. The joke writers for Dirk Bach's moderations are top-notch, and don't shy away from political content, too. We had lots of Gorch Fock- and Guttenberg-themed humor, in fact, i think there was more political satire in a single "I'm a celebrity"-episode than in Matthias Richling's career of ruining Scheibenwischer.Quoted for future reference in elitist TV conversations.
And here I am, failing miserably at finding negative connotations for "PB". Damn.
I doubt I could stand it to the first ad break. Never liked Dirk Bach though.Watch an actual episode.
Don't get me started. Scheibenwischer used to be a must during my childhood. Which happened a long time ago.Matthias Richling's career of ruining Scheibenwischer.
In the only relationship I had that actually covered Valentine's Days, the girlfriend luckily didn't care about that day. And I hate it with a passion for reminding me of my single status via the prominent praline gift displays in the supermarket.Card adverts on telly signifying that it shall soon be Valentines Day. Or aka "Single Awareness Day" for some people. (Not me, but I've never really done Valentines Day before.)

After the brave descision to put Spider-Man into the hands of Sam Raimi, who, at this point, was a name only known to horror and splatter genre fans, massively paid off for the studios, it looks to me like the studios try to get "edgy" indie filmmakers involved in comic book-based blockbusters, with Nolan, Aranowsky and the like replacing action/thriller specialists like Bryan Singer and established fantasy specialists like Tim Burton. Works in some cases (Sin City, early Spider-Man), did not work in others.

In other words, am glad I don't work in Clinton Cards anymore.
That logic will quickly get you into an uncomfortable situation in Latin America. Let me put it this way, the basket in the men's room is not a mistake.They wouldn't put toilet paper in there if it wasn't meant to be flushed, so yeah, it's perfectly alright.
Hmm... about this "be yourself" thing, I'd like to advise against being very open and honest about everything. I don't know how the Finnish think about it, but essentially, you are trying to sell them your work for a salary. So if being yourself includes any meaningful amount of self-criticism, don't give them any reason to doubt your capabilities by talking about it. Instead, let them do the asking and keep your replies short and concise... which, to a Finn, probably comes naturally.be yourself, have a look around on the internet and check the background of the company. on top of that i would also just think of possible questions they might ask you and how to respond to them.
but above all, just be yourself. if your going to be damned, be damned for who you really are. less chance of making a mistake as well.

At the BHF charity shop i work at, they've started doing "love notes" where people make a donation and then write a message to go in the window. I've not really seen the point in this day, just seems to be a day where card companies shift attention from christmas to another day. Its not a bank holiday and it's just any other day. I'd much rather make every day special for a gf than just one specific day.
I may be a old fashioned romantic (i did post a love note in the window after all) but i still don't get the fuss over February 14th.

I don't care about the fact i'm late to this party, nor the fact that i'm doing it wrong. Sure beats the Miata I had earlier!
You have not been to Greece then, have you?They wouldn't put toilet paper in there if it wasn't meant to be flushed, so yeah, it's perfectly alright.
Confession of the day: I got hooked on "I'm a Celebrity, get me out of here".
Haven't been paying attention for a few days - where did this whole Sesame Street avatar thing come from?
is there some kind of muppet avvie invasion going on? First Buffy's kermit and now Hemoh as well...
Should there be a Muppet Avvie day?
Yes!
This might only make sense to fellow UKanians, but there's a chance that my town might become nationally famous in my favourite way.
There could even be a visit by the meerkat to the town.
