Bits From Alum Email

About 3 times a week I get an email from the Mountbatten UWC Alumni Electronic List. This is basically a forum for all UWC alumni from all over the world to communicate, ask questions about travel, post issues, discuss politics, secure times for SSS (Second Sunday @ Six is a monthly meeting open to all UWCers and is held at pretty much every major city around the world), connect with old friends – you guys get the idea. This is the school I went to and sat for my GCSE’s.

Imagine my surprise when I came across this today:

Dear Friends,

My family own a precious Stradivarius violin for more than 4 generations
now. But now we would like to put it for sale. It has an inscription that
reads “Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis. Faciebat Annus 1720″
I would like to know if there is anyone who can help us out in finding the
right place and person to contact to put it for auction or if there is
anyone who is interested in buying it.

For more information and photos please contact me at this address or at
carol.caceres.salvioni@gmail.com

Thank you in advance.

What about that! Imagine having something just so, so beautifully precious at home. Wow. I hope they get a good price if it goes up for auction.

And this was too good to pass up. Hope you guys check it soon:

 

Sharing a political laugh with UWCers

I received this e-mail at work and started laughing hysterically.
Check it out! Google reveals it’s political opinion.

Subject: was this a mistake on googles part?

1- Go to www.Google.com

2- Type in Failure

3- Look at it and laugh at what comes up first

4- Tell other people before the people at Google Fix it

Heh! I can’t say I totally disagree either.
