Nonwrk: Put ICE in your mobile (In Case of Emergency Campaign)

For once (nothing personal in that by the way), this is actually real - not a chain letter or hoax.

There's even posters you can download and display.

>East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone's annual life savers award. The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do. Please will you also forward this to everybody in your address book, it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life.

>For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc

What do your pets do while you're at work?

Did you ever wish you could have a hidden camera in your house so you could see what your pet is really doing while you are away from home?

Perhaps you are foolish enough to think that your beloved pup or your darling kitty is patiently sitting by the door, waiting for your return.

Boy, are you wrong!

What your pets are really doing when they're home alone...

oral hygeine

work on the computer

solitaire

checking e-mail

sun bathing

cocktail hour

afternoon nap

chilling in a cool spot

washing dishes

cleaning the toilet

explore

play with kitty

guarding the gerbil

redecorate

toilet cleaner

practice golf

read a magazine

skating away

clean up

a little bubbly

eat lunch

eat lunch

practice the piano and sing

use the toilet

Nonwrk: Things you swore you'd never do, but now are (TEST)

A.k.a. "Just how old are you getting?"

Take the test:

(and in case you're wondering, my result was "seethru calculates that you are 60 % an ageing hypocrite"...)

Nonwrk: But honey, I *did* ask for directions!
