Stupid but so funny…

January 18, 2010 by Helena Halme 8 Comments




I‘m sure this clip has done the rounds many times over, but it always makes
me loll about laughing. At the weekend after a few more units than a non-drinking
January would warrant (I fell off the wagon in a rather spectacular fashion on Friday),
you only needed to mention the word ‘sinking’ and we were stupid with hilarity.
Apologies for any advertising I might condone – I know for a fact there are other providers
of the service mentioned.

Enjoy…!

    Still can't stop laughing!
    What exactly do you mean with too many units? Surely not Finnish Units?

    It still makes me giggle. A friend sent it to me a couple of years ago after we worked on the same movie together. Every day we would be in hysterics as the director was Italian, didn't speak a lick of English and the entire crew was English (we were shooting in Manhattan). We would communicate with a messy sort of sign language; the director was so annoyed that no-one spoke Italian – well I did a little but didn't let on. x

    Absolutely nothing to do with this post at all Helene but I just started reading your How I Came To Be In England, parts 1 to 14. I am so hooked – it's fantastic. I shut up for a whole fifteen minutes! Just wanted to say how wonderfully you write and I'll be back to catch up on some more tomorrow!

    Anon., yes, think they might have been Finnish units. Lost the ability to count fairly early on.

    I'm glad you've enjoyed my story, Thatgirl39. More on the way.

    And I'm so glad you share my sense of humour, people!

Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter Whoo hoo! My new book, an enemies-to-lovers winter romance, To Melt A Frozen Heart, is now on pre-order!
💙
To Melt A Frozen Heart is Book 1 in a new series, titled, The Anderssons.  In the first novel in the series, we meet  Kat Andersson, a passionate environmentalist TV producer. Heartbroken after a devastating betrayal by those whom she most trusted in her life, she travels to Lapland, where she meets – and immediately hates – Mikael Hult, a ski instructor from a wealthy Finnish mining family.
💙
Here’s the full blurb:
When trust is betrayed by those closest to you, can love still find its way?

Kat, a TV producer nursing a shattered heart from a celebrity chef's betrayal, seeks refuge in Lapland. There, she crosses paths with Mikael, a Finnish ski instructor from a wealthy mining dynasty.

Their worlds collide like ice and fire, yet an irresistible attraction blooms. Kat, an ardent vegan and environmental advocate, has sworn off holiday romances. Mikael embodies everything she detests about privilege: fast cars, inherited wealth, and disregard for the environment.

But destiny has other plans. When disaster strikes in Lapland's pristine wilderness, Kat and Mikael find themselves drawn together. In their struggle for survival, they uncover shared values and a connection they never expected.

Will Kat's heart thaw, granting her a second chance at love, or will it remain frozen forever? 

To Melt A Frozen Heart whisks you from London's bustling streets to Lapland's enchanting landscapes, where the Northern Lights and twinkling stars illuminate Kat and Mikael’s path.
