The miracle of the net... again

Pete and I went to lunch at the top local restaurant yesterday.  It was Pete's brother's girlfriends birthday.  The almost-four-hour meal was fantastic.

During the meal, Pete's brother mentioned that they had spent the day in London on Saturday. During a loooong trip to Harrods, they saw someone famous.  People were asking for autographs and taking photographs with them.

The problem was, neither Pete's brother nor his girlfriend recognised the man!

So they just said he had dark skin and good looking wife/girlfriend.  Not a lot to go on.  So I went on Twitter and and typed in a few searches:

- seen in Harrods
- saw in Harrods
- with wife in Harrods

After a couple of minutes and wading through spottings of an Indian film star and someone from a girl group, I found it was probably Dutch International footballer John Heitinga and his wife.

Finding a picture on Google confirmed it.  Isn't the 'net amazing?!?

The Question #2 - Due date: 26th February

Welcome to 'The Question'... a single question to be answered by bloggers on the same day, with the aim of sparking some conversation, debate and shared experiences on various blogs around the world.

On Sunday 26th February, I will post 'The Question' along with my response. You can add your link to my page and therefore, I hope that responses will then be compared.
 
The question this month that you can post an answer to on the 26th was suggested by Anon':

Slow

It's been a slow couple of weeks with not much going on to share with you. It's been busy at work and in the evenings, we've tended to just veg'. We have watched a few films.

I had a meeting in London a couple of days ago in Baker Street. I spent the whole sub-consciously humming and whistling the sax solo from the famous Gerry Rafferty song! It was one of those meetings to forget.  I was told not to bring a laptop as the firm was supplying one.  Of course, they did not have one and had to borrow someone else's. They then said that the office was too small for a meeting so we went to the bakers/coffee house called Paul (they are all over France) and it took an age to log into their wifi, which then was too slow to be useful!

One event from this evening... Pete and I started to watch a very recent film Tyrannosaur. We managed less than 30 seconds before turning it off. I wont explain why, but a violent start was not what either of us wanted to see.

To end for now, here's a picture I took in the City this week - it's actually 4 images stitched together.

Goats

If you have ever been part of a team training day, you will know that many trainers will have a "fun" part, often straight after lunch, to get the brain working.

One of these games used to do my head in!  It's all about goats and a gameshow...

A game-show host has placed a car behind one of three doors. There is a goat behind each of the other doors. "First you point toward a door," he says. "Then I'll open one of the other doors to reveal a goat. After I've shown you the goat, you make your final choice whether to stick with your initial choice of doors, or to switch to the remaining door. You win whatever is behind the door." You begin by pointing to door number 1. The host shows you that door number 3 has a goat. What should you do (assuming you want the best odds of winning the car)?

Switch to door #2
Stay with door #1
It doesn't matter
Punch the host in the jaw

The answer is explained in this video:
