Lost in translation

Flo-Rida is a hip-hop artist who has been doing big things lately with hi top 40 single 'Right Round' - I thought I would take the time to find the meaning behind the song by translating each line.....


You spin my head right round, right round
You turn my head around 360 degrees, twice.
When you go down, when you go down down
When you perform oral sex upon me
You spin my head right round, right round
You turn my head around 360 degrees, twice.
When you go down, when you go down down
When you perform oral sex upon me
Hopped out of that house with my swagger
Left my place of residence whilst walking in a trendy manner
Hop in that with girl, I got places to go!
Got in the car with a woman who is driving, I have an appointment.
People to see, time is precious
I have several of the aforementioned appointments – my diary is full today
I look at my crowd and they out of control
My friends are refusing to take any direction from me
Just like my mind where I'm going
My brain appears to be shutting down the more I travel in this automobile
No women, no shorties, no nothin but clothes
No females, no girlfriends, I can only see apparel here
No stoppin now, my Pirellis on roll
We will continue to drive, my Pirelli-brand tyres are moving in a forward direction
I like my jewelry, that's always on gold
I wear a range of watches, chains and bracelets - all of which are gold
I know the storm is comin
The weather forecast is for thunder and lightning
my pockets keep tellin me it's gonna shower
The part of my jeans that usually hold my keys and wallet are also providing a similar weather report
Call up my homies that's home
call up my friends who are currently at their homes
Then pop in the night cuz it's meant to be ours

Ummmm….I have NO idea....well, I tried……..

Piggy-wiggy flu

Advice from a website regarding the Swine Flu

'Influenza is very easily spread through coughs and sneezes. If you have influenza, avoid public places and close contact with other people. Always cough and sneeze into a disposable tissue. Put the tissue in a rubbish bin and wash your hands well afterwards.'

Very good advice if you ask me, and not limited to just the swine flu. It's advice that should be followed but let's break it down....

Influenza is very easily spread through coughs and sneezes.

Yeah, it's also very easily spread by the person who rolls into work sniffing every 5 seconds and telling you, in no uncertain terms, how crap they feel and how they "hope you don't get it"....The great thing about this, of course, is that you can actively put a face to the flu once it infects you.

Always cough and sneeze into a disposable tissue.

As opposed to a reusable tissue.

1. Put the tissue in a rubbish bin.
2. Wash your hands well afterwards.

If you are wiping your nose with your hand, please go straight to step 2.
