What is meant by the phrase 'false tab'

'False tab' is the term used when a performer pretends to leave the stage to build expectation that the audience will require an encore.

'Tab' is derived from the word 'tabs' which is the name given to the stage curtains of a theatre.

A performer (such as a singer) may be ask by a stage director if they have a false tab in their performance when explaining their stage routine, often referred to as a set list. This will often be before their penultimate song(s) which would usually be the encore of the performance.

Kim Kardashian in Latex

I'm not sure how I've managed to get to today without hearing about this little beauty; Kim Kardashian.

What an amazingly curvy body - and just great for showing the lines of hugging latex.

Like Nicole Scherzinger, Kim isn't a size 0 skinny late girl with no personality.

Here are some pictures (all of which are in the public domain already). Enjoy!

Help! My company has blocked Facebook!

So you've just arrived at work and realised that your company have blocked access to Facebook. Never fear! There are ways you can work around it without anyone knowing.

My favourite method is Ninja Cloak. Ninja Cloak is a "free anonymous web based proxy service”. Basically, it allows you to “browse your favourite web sites anonymously and even from behind a firewall with blocked ports”. It's free and very, very cool. You just need to enter the website address in the bottom form, make sure you don't tick the box to block cookies and you should get instance access to Facebook (or any other blocked website for that matter).

Of course, the fact that your company have blocked access to Facebook is a clear message that they don't want you to use the website during paid time. Using Facebook during paid time could potentially be a breach of your contract so make so you use it at your own risk!

Easyjet and the TV program "Airport" or "Airline"

If you have ever watched the 1999 program "Airline" (a fly on the wall docu-drama where passengers are subjected to the most awful level of service an airline has ever provided and then subjected to sarcastic, argumentitive staff), then you'll know how shocking the attitude of Easyjet is. Their customer complaints centre must be one of the largest in the UK.

The Easyjet website gives a very one-sided point of few.

Of course I have heard of the saying "all press is good press" but the fact that Easyjet allow this programme to be broadcast says a lot about their awful customer loyalty ethic.

One member of staff, check-in operator Jane Boulton, is every customer's worst nightmare. Worse than a call centre in Bangladesh when your credit card has just been cloaned, or being told the local milkman will be carrying out your heart surgery, this mega-bitch clearly enjoyed ruining the general publics life. I'm not sure whether she couldn't get over catching her husband shagging her best mate, or whether she just needed a good shag up the ass, but I hope to God I never cross her vicious path. Evil bitch. I hope you read this and note that I hate you.

If you ever fly with this shower of shit after watching the program, you deserve everything you get.

Jane Bolton Easyjet - A great example that you really do get what you pay for.
