This morning on the way to Heathrow I couldn’t help overhearing a conversation going on in between 2 (what they thought they were) “proper Londoners” about the “invasion of Eastern Europe”. It went upon the lines of how these bloody Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Romanian came and took over London and that’s not right. Coincidentally, […]

Brief (but accurate!) history of Romanian rugby jerseys
Just occurred to me the other day — being the (arguably) lucky owner of 3 Romanian rugby jerseys — how much these things have changed since the last Rugby World Cup (that would be RWC 2007 for those of you who don’t remember these things:D): I have bought the first such jersey during RWC 2007 […]
And So It Begins: RWC 2011 Sweepstakes in Cognitive Match
Not only did I have the dilemma already of cheering for both Romania and England, now I ended up with cheering for France as well following the sweepstakes draw for RWC 2011 we did in Cognitive Match 🙂
(More) Idiotic Recruitment
I’ve posted before about idiotic recruitment and having had some time to organise (read delete) some of my LinkedIn emails I came across this old one. So I decided that I’m going to start posting here every single bit of idiotic recruitment emails I’m getting — if there are people occasionally reading this then they’ll […]
Sa ne fie rusine!
Intr-o tara in care se vorbeste despre integrarea in structurile Europene la nivel inalt, la nivelul omului de rand toate astea inseamna doar mai multi mici si bere si o burta mai mare — nu stim si nu vrem sa ne uitam si sa ne interesam de frumos! Mi-e scarba, ca si celui care a […]

At a friends wedding back in Romania
These are grainy and not so clear and long overdue … still though, great party! 😉 and some more:
Anniversary “Badge”
This chocolate badge (yes, it IS made of chocolate!) was given to me by my mum who still teaches at Liceul “Ovidius” in Constanta where I studied. It’s shaped like a CD but just … tastier 😉
Brilliant Romanian Rugby Site
For those of you who still think Romanian rugby is non-existent, here’s the proof that’s not the case: this is the first rugby-only Romanian site that I know of: www.rugby.ro — it has live scores, news about the players (unfortunately most of the national squad as it turns out plays abroad!) and tons of other […]
“Piracy Worked for Us”
So, according to President Basescu piracy worked for Romania by helping the country grow a very vibrant technology industry. Being a Romanian myself and having “enjoyed” partially during my student years the “privilege” of pirate copies (mainly because there were no dedicated shops at the time where you could acquire a software with a license […]
