I'm a Rock Star!

To celebrate our Managing Director's 10 years
with the company, everyone dressed up in 70's
& 80's costumes and rocked until the early hours
of the morning.

Posing with fellow rocker, Michelle, and wearing
leopard print pants with a few tattoos and kickin'
Bon Jovi style hair.



Hanging tight with Lisa.


With Senior Project Managers, Cat & Nadia.


Caz & Coop



Hefin & Michal (as The Cure)



Michelle & Michael

Shakespeare & St. Paul

The Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeare's
timeless and classic works such as Othello, The Merchant of Venice
and Love's Labour's Lost are still performed today.




London's Millennium Bridge spans across the Thames
River and serves as a pathway between The Globe
Theatre and St. Paul's Cathedral.




St. Paul's Cathedral - The impressive dome was
inspired by St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

The Wild, Wild West - London Style

Howdy Partners! Meet the cowgirls...Catriona &
Michelle. And meet the cowboys...Brad & Michael.
Saddling up for a night of country music, country line
dancing and roller coaster rides at London's premier
amusement park, Thorpe Park.



If John Wayne were with us, here's what he'd say:

"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway."
"Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much."
"A horse is a horse, it ain't make a difference what color it is."


Brad, Catriona and Michelle relax after a BBQ
dinner while watching a Dolly Parton impersonator.



Michelle & Catriona, our two lovely cowgirls, prepare
for a wild night of country line dancing.





Hanging out with Brad at Thorpe Park before
hitting the rides.




Brad & I conquer The Stealth twice. This monster
of a roller coaster accelerates from 0 to 80 mph in less
than 2 secs, climbs to a dizzying height and then plummets
all before you're able to catch your breath.

Hampton Court Palace

This former residence of Henry VIII and later
William and Mary combines the best of Tudor &
Baroque architecture. William aimed to build a
palace that would rival the beauty and grandeur
of France's Palace of Versailles.




Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence
of Britain's
sovereigns since 1837. It evolved from a town house
that was owned from
the beginning of the eighteenth century
by the Dukes of Buckingham. Today
it is The Queen's official
residence, with 775 rooms.

NRS UK Summer Day Out

Japanese masseuse visits the office to relax
everyone with a 15 minute massage. Yes, I'm very
tense...please don't stop!



NRS UK hires two stretch Hummers to transport
us in grand style to the restaurant & comedy club.



Check out my wheels!



Enjoying a comedy show at Jongleurs with the UK
office. Following the show, we danced until the wee
hours of the morning.

The Office - British Version

York House, location for the two day team building
exercises with our global trainer, Rod Power.



Expressing our company goals for 2012 through the
creative exercise of painting a mural.



After blindfolding ourselves, our mission is to
align ourselves in a square with a rope while
standing equal distance apart from each other.



Transporting ourselves across a "poisonous swamp"
with a makeshift bridge of brick & lumber.



Hanging out with Cat, Senior PM in the UK, and her
husband, Jeremy by the Thames River.

Departing & Arriving

Ben & Christy Crawford drop me off at the
Atlanta Airport and bid farewell with a Union
Jack beach towel & other British goodies.




Meet Lord Dibley, my new best friend and master
of the house. Although Lord Dibley is a very proper
& dignified Jack Russell Terrier, he did not make
a very good impression with me at first. When I was
dropped off at the house, Dibs attacked the taxi
driver with a bite to the leg. Ouch!




My new home in Hampton Wick. I share with 4
other people. It's sort of like living on the set of
NBC's "Friends." Although we each have our own
bed & bathroom, we do share a kitchen.




My kitchen where I have tea with the Queen.




Piccadilly Circus, Theater District, London's
version of Times Square.




Riding on The Tube




Hyde Park - Birds in flight, Rowing on the Serpentine
