I'm sure that without that translation it was impossible for Danes to tell where they were. :sleep:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Angry Jutes took it on themselves to get rid of this abomination, although they forgot to also hide it after they pulled it up from the ground. :hmm:

Mayor H.P. Geil says that they won't bother putting it up again. The unilinguals have won!

Read an article today that the Danish paper Ekstra Bladet wrote an article about Angela Merkel's visit in Denmark, and managed to spell her name Mergel through the whole article:



The papers in Schleswig-Holstein joke that Danes are known to have problems with hard consonants.

I don't think that article is serious though. I can only read the quotes on my iPhone but they're ridiculous and so is the headline. Besides, Ekstra Bladet isn't really a newspaper.

Also, the Danish parliament voted in favor of having a bridge from Fehmarn to Denmark.
