Just to shut molly up, that would be

Kann man hier Deutsch sprechen?

That's 3 errors in one sentence, on top of which I suspect he meant to say darf (=is it allowed) instead of kann (=are we able to).

GrammarcinnamonDanishNazi!!!!


Remember Nelson and Copenhagen!!!!


I'm glad the Swedes took Skane!!!

Give back Slesvig!!!!


Ahem.

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

Yes, my German is very rusty. But on the other hand, it's hardly spoken in Australia (except in South Australia, in parts of the Barossa Valley and places such as Hahndorf). And I haven't used it in, oohh, about twelve years. And you try remembering time manner place with a cat on your lap.

And I did mean kann and not darf.

I might have meant 'a man' or 'a husband'.

Possibly.


Or not.




I still own GrippOp.

You're forgiven, certainly. But only because of the cat. Nobody should be expected to post correctly in German under such inhumane conditions.

And it's Skåne, not Skane, plus we only have Northern Slesvig anyway. Frankly I'm appaled at your fragmentary knowledge of my country's history.

He's fast asleep on top of my lap, and he's just farted.

I think I may die. He had dried anchovies to eat this morning.

I can't write Sk (Danish vowel with accent) ne on this p.c. . I thought I heard Danish being spoken once, but it was two Tasmanian Devils fighting over roadkill.

And I'm appalled you're appaled . Or should that be Karel Appeled? At least I spelt it Slesvig and not Schleswig. Besides which, you remember what Palmerston said about the Schleswig-Holstein Question?

Only three people ever understood the Schleswig-Holstein Question: the Prince Consort, who was dead, a clerk at the Foreign Office who went mad, and himself -- and he had forgotten.


to the Danes- there used to be an excellent Danish shop in London, in Villiers Street near Embankment Station, which sold the best Danish pastries I've ever had- and these delicious cakes made out of green marzipan and shaped like frogs.

Oh god, I have to get the cat off -vomit.

Hey Winston, tror du virkelig, at molly bloom har smagt Kaj-kager på et konditori i London? Det kan da umuligt passe?

It's really funny about the Schleswig-Holstein question. I seem to recall a very similar anecdote to the one you just told, but with the characters substituted for Danish contemporaries. People must have regarded it as the Kashmir or Palestine of the time. Which of course detracts a bit from the fun factor when you think about it.

Oh, and here are some vowels for you to cut and paste, so in the future we won't have to hear pathetic excuses for not conforming to the proper spelling of our beautiful language.

Æ, æ ~ ae
Ø, ø ~ oe
Å, å ~ aa, [oh]

Sure it's possible, albeit highly unusual and extremely funny! Kaj just rules the World. LOL.
