Norse word of the month - June

ELDING

Elding means litening (sic) in both Norsk & Icelandic. The root is "eld" (Nynorsk "ild"), meaning fire, a specifically Skandi word.

What made me think of this is learning by accident that FC Lyn have just gone bankrupt from the Norse 2d Division (Addeccoliga ou quelq'chose), the Norse sesong being still in progress. And LYN also means lytning/Blitz/éclair.

Leeds Utd will be defeating SK Brann later this very month.

Norse word of the month - July

KLEGG

a horse fly.

I believe the English equiv is Clegg, the name of our dear deputy PM, Mr Nick Clegg, of the Liberal Bureaucratic party. He is very keen on fairness (1). His family also owns a 10 room chateau in France (county of la Charente) and a 20 room chalet (?) in Schweiz/Suisse. Surely to be fair he shd give them away to asylum-seekers?

(1) definition: anything he's in faver of.

Many British judges illegal

Many Brish judges are illegal under article 45 of Magna Carta, qui dit clairement:

(on doit seulement nommer) justiciarios [juges]...de talibus qui sciant legem regni, et eam bene velint observare.

Juges...de ceux qui connaissent la loi du royaume, et qui sont bien disposés à l'observer.

Judges...from those who know the kingdom's law, and are ready to keep it.

Novparl, Alex Bloke & Henky Singer.

Pope speaks forth on child abuse

A communiqué from the Pope of Good Hope:

I voss onnly obeyink orders!

Also used to be known in Munich/Minka as the Pope of Good Dope.

These 2 phrases (Pope of good hope/dope) are very rare. They are 2 meaningful phrases which I am the first to use on Ggl, as they have a nil return.

German waitress : I voss onnly takink orders!

UK wins Euroviz again

Providing you turn the list upside down. Yes, my folkies, for the 3d time in 8 years the land of the Beatles, Dire Straights, & Rrrrobbie Williams came last. An interesting article on a Swiss-German tv blog about the chaos surrounding the recent election suggested that the reason the British are so incompetent is because they are self-disciplined. (Repressed more like.)

Norwegian word of the month

Kvitter = twitter

Norwegian word of the month

Yes, Norse fans, on the eve of Eurovision (will Norrya beat its 2009 record vote?)
this month's word is from Dagbladet.no :

kvitthvitt.

In the context it's used (Jamaican resorts compared to Tivoli gardens) it evidently means lily-white, but in the dicos (Nk, Dk, Sk) kvitt clearly comes from French quit.

Baffling.

General election 2010

The Guardian on Saturday had the excellent idea of using the Russian site Chatroulette to predict the winner of Thursday (6th May)'s election. A Guardianist put on masks of the 3 main leaders and then noted the reactions:

Nick Clegg (Liberal Bureaucrat) - 7 penises
Gordon Brown (Prime Minister) - 6 penises
David Cameron (Conservative) - 3 penises and a bottom.

Let' s see if Thursday's results bare this out.

Le Tupolev n'est pas dangereux

Certains sites semblent suggérer que le Tupolev-154 n'est plus fiable. (Lancement en 1972). Au contraire, c'est d'un "design" robuste et utilisé dans les conditions séveres de l'Arctique soviétique.

Alors, selon Wikipédia le plupart des "incidents" sont dus à l'erreur du pilote ou un declin dans les niveaux de maintenance post-Sovietique. Curieusement, on a perdu 4 appareils manu militari: un a été abbatu par les israéliens, autre par les ucrainiens, et deux par des bombes tchetchenes.

Autre mystere: certains sites (p.ex. RTL) maintiennent qu'il y avait 132 personnes à bord, tandis que des autres (e.g. Wikipédia en anglais et en russe) parlent de 89.

Is this the Internet's funniest picture?

It's a picture of Adolf H. playing the banjo. It moves, on a short loop. But the background makes it even funnier.

Can be found on "Mail vs. Facebook" of 02.03.10 by bluebellnutter.

(Bluebell-nutter refers to the steam (amateur) Bluebell Railway of South-east England.)

Did you know? The Norse group Aha actually stands for Adolf Hitler Admirers.

Isn't everything wonderful?

A recent Top Ten book is "Is it just me or is everything sh--?"

Someone has written a reply : Is it just me or is everything great?

Certainly, everything in Britland after 13 years of Labour is wunnerful.

Soon we'll have a minority government of Conservatives which will be broughjt down by the opposition, including the Liberal Bureaucrats, if it dares to cut govt. spending rather than borrow yet more billions.

Even luckier are the Greeks, who may go bankrupt and be ejected from the Eurozone.

Yep, everything's fantastico.

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.

1792 Les révolutionnaires fransais victorieux à Jemappes, Belgique contre les Autrichiens.

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.

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.
