I may not be Fred Flintstone but I can sure make your bed rock!
Is your dad a thief or something? Because someone stole the stars and put them into your eyes!
I’ve heard sex is a killer. Want to die happy?
Excuse me, but I’m new in town, can I have directions to your place?
Can I buy you a drink – or would you just prefer the five bucks?
I’m a thief, and I’m here to steal your heart.
I wish I were a tear so i could start in your eyes, live on your face, and die on your lips.
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together.
Am I cute enough yet? Or do you need more to drink?
You must be the reason for global warming because you’re hot.

You know what would look great on you? Me.
Can I read your T shirt in brail?
Do you have a map? Because I keep getting lost in your eyes.
You know what? Your eyes are the same color as my Porsche.
I think I need to call heaven because they’ve lost one of their angels.
Is your name Gillette? Because you’re the best a man can get!
Do you believe in the hereafter? Well, then I guess you know what I’m here after.

All those curves! And me with no brakes!
Can I even get a fake number?

Excuse me for interrupting and I’m not trying to make a pass, but you must be leaving the country if you’re packing that much ass.
You might as well sleep with me because I’m going to tell everyone we did anyway!
Your mom was pretty good, so i figured you would be too.
I would say God bless you but it looks like he already did.
It’s a good thing I have my library card, because I’m checking you out.
Oh, sorry, I’m reserved for someone else.
Damn, I’m glad I’m not blind!
If I followed you home, would you keep me?
If I told you you had a gorgeous body, would you hold it against me?

You look like my second wife! And I’ve only been married once!
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?
Do you believe in love at first site, or should I walk past you again?
If you were Sprite, I’d obey my thirst!
Excuse me can I borrow a quarter, it is an emergency. My mom told me to giver her a call the first time I fell in love.
I lost my number, can I have yours?
Let’s make like fabric softner and snuggle

DIPLOMATS BREAKFAST MEETING WITH LORD RICHARD NEWBY (CHAIR OF IDS)

On Monday 14th November, I was kindly invited by Young Diplomats in London (YDL) and Diplomat Magazine to a breakfast meeting with Lord Richard Newby.

Lord Richard Newby, Chair of International Development through Sport (IDS) spoke about “harnessing the power of sport to change lives”. He was especially passionate about how sport empowers young girls in developing countries and how they are keen to develop that project in other countries. He mentioned the success of the Go Sisters Project in Zambia. For more information see the profile of IDS below and their webpage on the UK Sport International website. www.uksport.gov.uk/pages/ids/

The meeting ended with a Q and A session with Lord Newby on the topic he so eloquently spoke about. My question to him was specifically regarding the IDS strategy in ensuring sustainability of the IDS sports projects specifically to empower young girls when faced by patriarchal societies, this being my area of expertise.  I was intrigued with the IDS girl empowerement sports projects having myself worked in girls education programmes in developing countries for 10 years. Lord Newby responded by clarifying that the aim of IDS was to work with the relevant ministries, local government structures and local charities in the countries where they have programmes. This ensured a sense of ownership with the beneficiaries of the projects.

The Young Diplomats in London (YDS) exective team handed over a cheque to Lord Newby to support the work of IDS. The money had been raised in the summer at the Virgin Active triathlon that the YDS team had taken part in. On 30th July 2011, the YDS took on the herculean task of doing the Virgin Active triathlon in London to raise money for IDS. They have done an incredible job so far and should be commended if you want to contribute and support YDL and IDS please go to their fundraising page http://www.justgiving.com/YDL

A member of the YDL committee from Greece took some group photos to finish off the auspicious breakfast event.

It was a lovely breakfast meeting hosted at the quaint Hyatt Regency hotel near Oxford street, central London. During the meeting we had sat down to a sumptuous breakfast of fresh bread, pastries, juices, cheese platter, various cold meats and followed by a delicious fruit salad.

After the meeting, I took to Oxford street for some much needed pre-Christmas retail therapy and started doing some impressive cardio looking for various bargains on the incredibly seasonal decorated famous Oxford street department stores. Watch out everyone the shoppers about!!

Harnessing the power of sport to change lives
IDS is an international development charity that harnesses the power of sport to transform the lives of some of the poorest children in the world by giving them the chance to play sport, develop their skills and confidence and live healthier, happier and safer lives.

Through sport we can identify and develop the young leaders of tomorrow, raise aspirations of girls, boys and children with disabilities, tackle daunting health challenges and build bridges in places scarred by conflict and natural disasters.

IDS works with local organisations in the developing world to support community-based projects that use sport as a means to:
·         Empower girls and children with disabilities
·         Develop young leaders and educators with sport and life skills
·         Deliver effective HIV/AIDS education and awareness
·         Offer disaster and trauma relief and rehabilitation
·         Assist with peace-building in communities affected by conflict.

IDS is UK Sport’s international charity. While UK Sport supports the administration of the charity, IDS is an independent UK-registered charity (reg. No 1001564).

IDS Programmes
We specialise in assisting small grass roots organisations in developing countries.  It is our policy not to open our own offices in the field – instead we provide direct support to local organisations that are rooted in local communities and are driven by the needs of local people. IDS helps young people access sport and the benefits it brings.  All the projects that we support are driven by young people trained as youth peer leaders and educators. They cascade their skills and knowledge to thousands of children and youth in their schools and communities through a range of sporting and educational activities, which are devised and run by the young people themselves. This approach ensures that our programmes very cost effective, sustainable and have a lasting impact.


IDS is supporting a range of programmes in the Southern Africa region. They enable children from the world’s poorest communities to share in the experience of sport and leadership.

In South Africa, IDS, through the Big Lottery Fund, is supporting a five-year HIV/AIDS awareness through football programme to train 1,600 youth peer leaders and educators in sports, leadership skills and HIV/AIDS prevention. The programme will impact on a total of 19,600 children in 12 communities across three of the poorest provinces in South Africa.

In Zambia, the Go Sisters project, supported through the Department for International Development (DFID), reaches hundreds of vulnerable and disadvantaged girls and young women have had the opportunity to participate in physical activity, develop as leaders and role models, as well as arm themselves with vital life-saving HIV/AIDS and hygiene information.

In Zambia, IDS supports a sport and recreation programme that uses sport to rehabilitate girls and women engaged in the commercial sex, to break down stigma and to provide a platform for health education.

East Africa
In Tanzania, IDS supports the National Sports Council to implement the Beckwith International Leadership Development (BILD) Programme. Four centres for leadership development have been established in Tanzania as part of a plan to build independent training capacity in Tanzania.

In Kenya, the Moving the Goalpost project in the Kilifi district uses football to help 3,000 underprivileged girls and young women to become peer and community leaders, to develop their life skills, to educate them about their reproductive health, HIV/AIDS and their rights and to empower them economically.


Research Projects
Presently, IDS is carrying out 2 long-term research projects to build robust evidence around the impact of sport in development and to understand the conditions required for sport to be an effective development intervention.

IDS programme participants say:
“Being involved with sport means I now have a lot of leadership skills, am self-confident, I can stand up in front of people and express myself. I can teach my peers too.” Florence Mwila, 20yrs, Go Sisters female peer leader.

“Sport gives us hope that we can always live up to expectations, achieve our dreams, goals and desires”, Michael Igbokoyi 17yrs, male peer leader.
