Token monthly posting

A) John Terry, capn of England, in trouble for adultery. What bothers me more is what I've complained about before, his greed. Example: he charged £10 000 for a guided tour of Chelsea stadium, then tried to forbid people from saying they'd paid him.

B) The Ulster (N. Ireland) coalition is threatening to break down. Between the IRA terrorists and the Protestant bigots. What's the betting it's a ploy to get yet more money out of us stupid English? If we promise them a few more billion, they'll suddenly discover that they can bear each other after all.

More moans next month.

5 pessime citates in le mundo?

Le guides "Solitario Planete" publica su lista del 5 pessim urbes del globo.

1. Détroit. Si tu es fan del Motown music, o de Eminem, Détroit seria mult' interessant.
2. Accra (Ghana/Costa del Oro). Sed Accra es melior que Lagos (Nigeria), perke le Costa del Oro es plus democratic que le turbulente Nigeria. (Le presidente es Mr John Mills..)
3. Seoul. Seoul es le paradis del "geek" (fanatic del technologia). E le casa de Mithridates.
4. Los Angeles. Are you kidding? L.A. es le paradis de mult britannic old rockers, como Rod Stewart, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Morrison etc.
5. Wolverhampton. Effectivamente, le citate de Wulfrun fac parte de Birmingham. Io non sape se es melior o pessim' que alteras partes de B-ham.

Es notable que la lista no contene urbes como Mexico-Citate, loco muy violente e muy polluado.
O Mogadishu in Somalia, en su conditio' de anarchia. O PyongYang/PingYeung, en le stalinist dictatur de Norte-Corea. O Teheran, con su prohibicion del alcool....(Tortura per le scandinavos).

Copenhague décourage la prostitution (Gropenhagen)

Pour le congres sur le changement du climat, le maire de Copenhague, um M'sieu Riit (sic) Bjerregaard, essaie de décourager les "travailleurs de sexe". Or, au Danemarc, la prostitution est légale, a la différence de Suede et Norvege. Y compris les bordels ("cat houses"). La nouvelle a suscité peu d'intéret en Grande-Bretagne, ou le pays de Hamlet est regardé comme tres supérieure a la malheureuse G-B. - Der Spiegel et des autres parle de "Gropenhagen".

Je suis contre la prostitution, mais comme elle est légale, quel intéret/droit a le maire a l'attaquer?

Odd fact: les juke box ont leur nom du fait qu'il état d'abord installés dans les "juke-houses", c'est a dire les bordels. Le mot "juke" vient d'une langue west africaine comme le Wolof, et veut dire "agir d'une façon excessive, ausschweifen."

On this day. 7.11.2005

...................

The Russian owner of Hearts of Midlothian (Edinburgh) appointed Graham Rix as manager. Graham Who? Who was just about to start as manager of semi-professional Crawley Town, a Div. 5 type team in south-east England (well south of the Danelaw).



It didn't work out.....

ON THIS DAY. Hodié.

1986 Alex "Fergie" Ferguson takes the reins at Man. United. But it's not until 1990 that he wins silver, namely the FA Cup. He is still there, becoming more and more obsessively anti-referee.

I feel like that everywhere. So did Meursault, l'Étranger/Outsider.

Posties in mass suicide shock.

Britain's postmen have decided to take a leaf out of the book of the lemmings and commit mass suicide. Faced with massive job losses, they have decided to have even more job losses with a 3-day strike. The result is that the Royal Mail's blue chip customers, such as Amazon, are looking for alternative private companies. Soon the Posties will be pouring over the cliffs on their red bikes.

"If only the Almighty had not fixed his canon 'gainst self-slaughter." Hamlet, Prince of the Duck-pond.

Pronunciation tip : in degenerate modern English, Royal Mail is pronounced Raw Maiw.
Mail from French "malle" a trunk (in which the letters were put).

Les facteurs brittanics se sont voués à un suicide de masse. Face à des pertes massives d'emploi, ils vont faire la greve de trois jours. Leurs clients vont disparaitre en masse.

In this year. 1983.

Mr Elias Mutumbe, the ace Kenyan forger, was jailed for 3 years after issuing a series of bank-notes bearing his own likeness.

Sur ce jour. 1999

England 0:0 Bulgaria.



Manager Glenn "Reincarnation" Hoddle.

On this day 1988

The death of Jackie Milburn, record holder for Newcastle Utd. with 200 goals.

The record stood until 2006, when Alan Shearer passed it (with 201 goals, for any Swedish reader).

Mr Tony Blair, the Christian multi-millionaire, and mad-keen N.U. fan, used to claim to well remember seeing Jackie play. He retired when he was 4 (i.e. Jacks retired when little Tony was 4.)

NU, currently in Division 2, have just paid £2 million to Kev Keegan, one of their numerous ex-managers.

On this day. 7 October 2000

England 0-1 Deutschland. World Cup qualifying.

Last game at the old Wembley. Manager Kevin Keegan resigns, admitting that he doesn't have what it takes.

Irony : when Kev played for SV Hamburg, he was extremely popular with fans and media and was known as King Kevin Keegan.

Knol - a knote

J'aurais du dire que KNOL n'a aucun lien avec le GRASSY KNOLL qui a assassiné John F. Knennedy en '63. Kno way.

Ni avec le mot d'argot fransais GNOLE (mot du patois de Lyon).

Ni avec le dictateur cambodgien (1970-5), marionette US, Lon Knol.

Alt for Knorge!

Labor thoughts for the day

Ed Balls, Minister of Edjamacation:

We're going to issue a Behaviour Challenge to ensure good behaviour in every school!

Harriet Harman, deputy P.M., wants to have a law passed making it illegal for local councils not to take into account closing the "poverty gap". Fortunately, there isn't time to do it afore Labor loses the next election.

I decamp to Knol

When Knol came out, it was rubbish. Returning recently, I found that altho' a lot of Knols are pitiful, there are some good things, e.g. a portal for Canada run by an academic (Belgian?) in Montréal and a very long article on Amsterdam, including a good sociology of immigration.

So I decided to try and put some serious stuff on, starting with short articles and then expanding. This stuff can be found by going to Knol and searching for Novparl.

Therefore, I shall be making my major effort on Knol. But I shall be trying to put in at least one token article a month, so this blog is not an ex-parrot.

Also I note that Svenny(.no) has largely decamped to (t)Witter and Falco (.dk) to his forum. (Which I must visit more often.)

A merry Yuletide to both my readers.

Oh no not another terror plot

A jury in SE London has just found 3 harmless lunatics guilty of a fantastical plot to stage another 9/11. The idea was to somehow or other insert explosives in Coke cans and blow holes in airplane fuselages.

Never mind that the 9/11 plot was a) hijackings (not blowing up planes) and b) crashing 3 planes into large buildings. Never mind that aircraft (which cost a lot) are able to sustain small holes in the fuselage without exploding. Never mind that the plot-obsessed New Scotland Yard has not proven that this amateur-sounding ideas actually works. One of their pieces of "evidence" was that someone was seen looking at some airline timetables. Yea, to help them fantasize about carrying out their hopeless "plot".

The 3 Moslems found guilty after a 2d trial were clearly fantasists. So far there has been no serious attempt to "bring the West to its knees" or any such overheated nonsense.

Bona idea?

In lectura del blog del senior H. Kyson, un idea vene a me. Per quod non transferar factual articulos in Interlingua al Wikipidea, ubi nostra lingua necessita un expansione?
