NICE GUYS DON'T ALWAYS FINISH LAST

A moment of on-field sportsmanship from Australian wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist has led to him being signed up to play a role in the corporate world.

Gilchrist has joined foreign exchange company Travelex as a non-executive director.

The company already sponsors Gilchrist but says it chose him after his decision to walk in the World Cup semifinal despite being given not out.

Company chairman Lloyd Dorfman says Gilchrist has showed strong ethics in a high-pressure situation.

"Here you've got a guy who is prepared to walk himself out in the critical moment in the semifinal of a World Cup tournament, and in terms of integrity I don't think you can do much better than that." (Taken from OurBrisbane.com)

Go figure....being a nice guy actually helping you climb the corporate chain. Next thing you know, politicians will be telling the truth. At any rate, way to go Gillie!

I wonder if Lleyton Hewitt will be getting any similiar offers. Apparently not, unless companies are looking to hire the 'dumbest ever' people.

THE ENEMY WITHIN Following the devastating Cafe Hillel suicide bombing back in early September, I blogged about my own personal experiences with terror , whether it be knowing someone who had been killed or injured, or my own brushes with terror. Then I read this article this morning: Three Jerusalem Arabs with ties to Hamas who planned to carry out a mass poisoning at a prominent Jerusalem cafe were sentenced Tuesday to five to ten years in prison by the Jerusalem District court. The three men, whose arrests last September foiled their plans to poison Jewish diners at the city's Cafe Rimon, had confessed to the charges against them, with two of the three previously reaching a plea bargain with the prosecution. According to the sentencing handed down in court, Othman Kiania, 23, from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, who had worked for the past three years as an assistant chef at the restaurant was sentenced to five years in prison, Moussa Nasser, 23, of J...

WHAT NOT TO DO WHEN STEALING MONEY If this guy was twice as stupid as he thinks everyone else is, then he would be only half as stupid as he really is.. Last week, Ilan Kupperman-Segal , the driver of an armoured van carrying 4.7 million shekels (over $1 million), drove off with the money. The vehicle was subsequently found sans the cash. It was also discovered that Kupperman-Segal had a criminal record, and had used fake ID to get the job with the security company. Today, Kupperman-Segal turned himself into police, after evading police for the past few days. According to his version of events: - He stole the van to protest the conditions under which he had to work, including no air conditioning. - He wasn't hiding from police, but rather waited until today to turn himself in because his lawyer was on holiday until today. - He had only used the fake ID to hide his criminal record. - He did not steal any of the money but rather left all of it in the vehicle, which he l...

MOVING After yelling and screaming for a while now, Blogger have finally returned my mail and upgraded me to an ads-free version. So no more obnoxious pro-Palestinian ads appearing above my blog. I am not sure, though, whether I want to stay with Blogger..too many problems. I may have to consider a move to some other application. Any suggestions? And on the topic of moves, we are moving to our new apartment on Wednesday. The packing has been hard, especially on my wife who has done the bulk of it while I am at work, all while taking care of our two little munchkins. If you are reading this blog Erika - I love you! You are the greatest wife and mother! And then there are the "hiccups" along the way, including the following: - It did not look like we would get the mortgage in time to qualify for a discount, due to strikes in this country. - The date for receiving the keys was postponed a few times, from the original July date until now. This has led to much anxi...
