The death of a blog

I’ve decided not to blog on Irrelevances no more. Unfortunately though, the blogging goes on – over at Insignificances (one step up from shere irrelevances). Norwegian version Irrelevanser will be discontinued, too, only to be replaced by a Norwegian version of Insignificanses. Still confused? Can’t say I blame you.

Thanks a million for inspiring and challenging comments. See you over at Insignificances?

Intoxicated thoughts on patriotism

Just a thought before turning in: True patriotism isn’t about putting your country above the rest – or declaring your own country’s superiority.

On the contrary: If it had been, there’d be precious little to love.

You will, of course, forgive my glass or two too many. Ah, and yes… We are, as you may have surmised, talking footbal here (that’s soccer to you colonials).

Dare we lower our shoulders?

By the way, I wrote a little piece on the issue over at iNorden today.

Oh no…

Here we go again. But the colours! Not quite there yet, though. Although before long…

Mobile spamming in the dark

As I’m sure we all agree, spam comments are a bloody nuisance we could all do very well without, thank you very much. Nevertheless they seem to come in hundreds at a time, keeping blog keepers busy day and night. Certainly, there’s always Akismet, but even that repository needs emptying on occasion – and who’s to know if maybe there’s a perfectly legitimate comment or two in there, at any given time?

Memorable moments in history

Man, how I still wonder what the boys had been up to. Playing with variations over JFK’s famous Berlin words, perhaps — like Ich bin a Hamburger/Wiener/Frankfurter, or simply sharing a joint in the backroom? No inhaling involved, of course.
