NRK Petre – Rørt og urørt

Foundt this one til only 49,50. Since there where quite few well known artists I just had to buy it. Could also be some hidden treasures which I had not heard before. And I did get one surprise when realizing that the song “Don’t give up”, a cover performed by Bertine Zetlitz and Thomas Dybdahl was included. I really like that one…

Rørt og Urørt

Shrek 2 and eggs

Went to see Shrek 2 – hilarious!!! I recommend everyone to see it, but you need to see Shrek 1 first!

…and the eggs? Stupid riff-raff who threw eggs at my car while parked outside for 15 minutes. Went straight to U-Wash to remove the shit!!

Test drive: The new Peugeot 407 HDI

Morten had borrowed the new Peugeot 407 HDI 2.0 from a friend. Got to try it for a short test drive. Beautiful car, and very smooth to drive. As mentioned before – there are some advantages working for a company which imports cars. Picture taken after the testdrive, Morten driving up from behind quite fast…

Another day at work

Just on my way to a meeting, but had to stop at the bottom of the stairs when seeing this. Some of the guys at Mercedes where preparing the press launch of the new A-class. Quite narrow, but they managed to get it both in and out without doing any damage to the car or the door…

ATM gone mad

Just had to take a picture of the ATM at work. Or, not a real ATM, but we have theese smart cards which we fill with money and use when we buy lunch in the cafeteria, soft drinks and chocolate and stuff from the automatic vending machines – anyhow, I slided my cash card in the ATM to fill my smart card with money, but it went in to a deadlock. The screen freezed, and became all dotted, look at the picture and you will see what I mean…strange…had to use cash…uuu!

Todays music hint: Sub Dub Micromachine www.besonic.com/BeSonic/User/0,4675,g0r0l0t0o0i46737,FF.html?# I find the song “Last resort” quite ok. Reminds me a bit of the guy singing in Crash Test Dummies I realize right now…

Karin Park in concert

Yesterday we went to Kampen Bistro and ate breakfast, or brunch might be a better description, and at the same time we got the opportunity to see Karin Park in concert. The concert was for free, and as always – everything that comes for free is fun! It was an acoustical concert, found it a lot better than the last time I saw her at Kloppstock. I even took a picture, but I used my cellphone – so it’s a bit crapy…

Karin Park

It was in fact the second concert at Kampen Bistro this last weekend…whow! Read more about the bistro here www.kampenbistro.no/

Norwegian Historical Radio Society

I’ve been to some strange places, but yesterday Kent took me to a place wich I did not know existed…Norwegian Historical Radio Society www.nrhf.no/nrhf-eng.html. You should have seen the premises, it was huge. Crowdes with guys knowing everything there is to know, and even more about old radios. Wheter to use 25K’s volum controls or if 22K’s would do the use…I took some pictures with my cellphone…

A response to Marcello’s comment about me being hurt yet again

Marcello, I have tried Curling – it was to easy. Thoose of you not able to read Norwegian have to excuse me for this one, but I have to post text from my corporations intranet. But if you look at the picture my guess is that you will get the point anyhow…For those of you totally not in to curling I will tell you that the woman on the picture is Dordi Nordy. Dordi has the following stats:

  • Record 15 World Championships – winning Gold in 1990 and ’91
  • Won World silver in ’89 and ’97, with six bronze medals
  • Four Olympic appearances winning bronze in ’88 and silver in ’92

…I en slik sammenheng blir det egentlig helt feil å fokusere på vinnerlaget i curling-konkurransen. Når det likevel blir fokus på vinnerlaget i curling, kommer det først og fremst av den tøffe konkurransen som var blant de 12 lagene som deltok. Fokusen på curling har ingen sammenheng med at InfoPortalens redaktør selv deltok på det allerede mye omtalte vinnerlaget i kick-off’ets curlingkonkurranse, sammen med Rune, Christian og Bent! – Norge er et av verdens fremste curlingland. Å vinne i Norge, betyr i prinsippet å vinne VM, sa en av de oppstemte seierherrene etter premieutdelingen….

Winners and Dordi

coincidence – I think not!!!
