Learn Danish, building a PC, £800,000 salary 29th October 2001 in Exeter, United Kingdom


Tastaturer is Danish for Keyboard.

I"m putting together a PC right now. To subsidize my costs I"m getting the Danish girls to pay for DSL, ect? But in order for them to pay for it they need to use it and to use it they need to be able to type in Danish. So, I had to dig through about 50 Danish websites to figure out how to spell Keyboard in Danish. I finally found a huge list of every type of part for a PC and went through each category until I found one with Keyboards in it. This is the list that I found it in.

Danish people write there #"s differently too. E.g. 10,000.00 in England is 10.000,00 in Denmark. So when they filled out their paperwork for the house they put that they have 6 figure salaries here in the UK working at clothing shops (they wrote £8000,00 instead of £8,000.00). The people at the letting agency probably thought that they were drug smugglers or something.

I want my house. I will be there soon.

Just a note for my post about Friday night. I never past out nor was I unable to get up the stairs, the Spanish girls merely accompanied me. I am in perfect health. My health has improved since I?ve come to the UK (no more constant heartburn, ect?). I consume less alcohol in England than I did in Canada, I just blogg about it here more often. I have full, free access to the UK health system.

Here is a photo of one of my co-workers stuck inside of a child"s ride. His friend is on top mocking him.
