Reading Time: 3 minutes CRAZY FROG RINGTONE PLAYS A young man, with imposing physique and streamlined facial muscles, wearily reaches for the snooze button. He misses. CRAZY FROG RINGTONE CONTINUES His wife, a most nubile specimen of her sex, is awoken from her slumber. “Wha…what’s zat… get it” she says, as she kicks out under the covers – both feet hitting their target. The impact has the ferocity of a wounded bull. The young man is suddenly wide awake. He sighs to himself, pulls the covers away and turns the alarm off, shivering in the early morning chill.

Half-Yearly Report Card, Goals Update and Verdicts – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly…
Reading Time: 5 minutes What’s Up Frugal Samuraites!!! We’re back again for another sitting of the Frugal Samurai.

Following on from my previous post where I asked for questions from yourselves, there’s been quite a few responses (that’s a few more than I expected)!

Waka waka eh eh!!! Tsamina mina zangalewa!!! This time for Africa!!! Shakira Shakira! “Takes headphones off”. Oh hello – it’s you again. Pardon me there, I got carried away – the World Cup is on you see. The four-yearly event has come around and landed in Russia, hands up if you’ve been watching it! MrsFrugalSamurai and I certainly have been – more the case of me forcing her to watch that is. “Come on babe! Egypt versus Uruguay!!!” “Uruguay… is that a fruit?” Blank expression. “N…no dear… it’s a country…” “In Europe?” Geographical ignorances aside (my apologies on her behalf to all our Uruguayan friends), the World Cup is THE…
