Richie Rumba’s Pet Salsa Peeves

10 Really Annoying Things Women Do on the Floor

by Richie Rumba
“There was this chick. I went over, asked her for a dance and she looks me up and down like I’m a life-size something on her shoe. Then she waves a hand in front of her face like she’s like Angelina Jolie or something. Jeez, it was the worst rejection I’ve had. Bruv, I know you’re feelin’ for me here. I could have walked off the dance floor never to return but as the Buddha said, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Man, I’m still serving it. She don’t know me and I’m still dishing out karma and now that cold hearted babe’s sorry…”

Wishing you a Cuban Xmas

Turkey with all the  trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, hours in front of the TV watching the Great Escape, the Sound of Music and old Morecombe and Wise sketches for the nth  time. In other words, a typical British Christmas, to be rounded off with the  inevitable fall out with nearest and dearest and the fight the flab campaign in the New Year following all the over-indulgence and lack of exercise, writes Lee Knights.
