Things have gone a bit to far

Anything but the other

“…The Health Protection Agency (HPA) has warned footballers that spitting on the pitch during games greatly increases the risk of spreading swine flu among team-mates and opposition alike…”  http://www.extrafootie.co.uk/news/article/30294/

Even though I’ve earlier raised the question “Is soccer a top level sport?” I must say that yes, soccer is a sport, and when doing sport you sometimes get the need to spit. So claiming that it is disgusting…it is so Oprah Winfrey. I’ve been told that she has a spitting bag when out running…Oprah, running? I think not!

What to do with “skattelistene”

Anything but the other

In Norway the tax lists are published and made available so that anyone can search them from vaste amounts of webpages, for instance http://www.skattelister.no. The mayor of Sandøy says things straight out and without any filter what so ever he states his opinion about the case in this article

” … – Skattelistene kan stikkes langt opp i ræva, smeller ordførere til….”

If he gets to know Chuck Norris, maybe he can help him out http://skattelister.no/skatt/sok/?q=chuck+norris

Google can help you out if you find Norwegian hard to read http://translate.google.com…..

The Bible history told by using Lego

Anything but the other

The Brick Testament, from the FAQ-page:

6. Is The Brick Testament really created entirely out of LEGO?
Everything but the background sky is built out of LEGO brand building blocks. There are a few select instances where Rev. Smith has resorted to modifying LEGO pieces with a hobby knife or permanent ink marker, but by far the vast majority of everything you see in The Brick Testament are unaltered LEGO parts from sets that date from the 1960s up to the present day, artfully recombined to form the characters and settings that make up these Bible stories.

Learned about this when watching Store Studio

Donkeyboy on NRK

Music

Must say I wonder why Donkeyboy with their song Ambitions is getting so much time on NRK. Have seen the video two times the past week in between programs. One thing would have been if the video had been showed in a program about music, but in between programs? Not to be mistaken, the song is pretty good, but even so…why that band, that song? Who do they know?

Wrote this one when wathing Trygdekontoret, listening to Thomas Seltzer saying the phrase Funciton before Fashion

@Update: I’ve been told that this is a new thing done by NRK on NRK3. Elin have also seen the new Shakira video in between other programs.

Me – a winner in the lottery

Anything but the other

The Norwegian Red Cross have arranged for you to join their lottery when recycling empty bottles. I did it on Saturday and I won!!! Recycled bottles worth 9 NOK, pressed the button and then the sound of victory and more…I had won…the total amount of 10 NOK…!!! CRAZY!!!

When sending letters where you beg for money, please make a not “Lottery – begging” on the front, in that way I can sort your letter out from the rest of the mail…

Out with Espen in Lillomarka

Sport

Espen and I spent the afternoon in Lillomarka today. We met at Bjerke and took Gamle Hadelandsvei to Lilloseter, then to Sørskogen. From Sørskogen via Johnsens Hvile and following the ski trail ending up at Griseputten. From there to Solemskogen, over the top of the ski jump at Linderudkollen down to Årvoll. The last bit at Årvoll was a bit troublesome. We should have turned left instead of right and ended up in a construction area. Had to carry our bikes down the hill, and then at the shooting range at Årvoll we had to climb over the gate. Not to get in, but out…

A lovely day for a bike ride

Sport

Spent some time cleaning my bike and doing maintenance today. Really needed to tighten some screws and clean it after a couple of very good, but long and heavy rides the past weeks. After that I had just enough time to go out for about an hour or so. Very nice weather, a bit more slippery than yesterday because of the frost from last night. But at about three o’clock that was no problem, but it was a bit more wet than yesterday and therefore slippery. Very happy, it’s late October and I’m still able to go out on single trails and almost have no need to clean the bike when home.

Anyhow, my biking is nothing compared to this http://www.vimeo.com/3367095

Snapshots from when out walking

Anything but the other

Me and Anders walked down to Ingrid yesterday while Elin came about an hour later driving the car. Noticed this fence nearby Bryn, gives “No Trespassing” new meaning, five layers of barbed wire, would not climb over there.

Then, just a few meters further I just had to take a picture of this graffiti saying: “Ronny pøbel, føkk døkk” (You need to be Norwegian to get the point, but føkk = fuck anyhow)
