Thanks, Jordy, for sending this in.

A stark warning to all men

It might be HOt outside, but please, do not, ever, ever get ideas about Speedos.  Not pretty.  Not now, not never, unless you are Daniel Craig or our Sebastian.

Let this photo be a warning to you.

The Final Countdown. Final.

This video has been entitled: "The worst cover version ever".  You decide.  

Practise is everything.

IKEA camera, anyone?

When the thief got stuck in a fence... (also known as: Eat Less Pie)

This cheeky Swedish thief got stuck in a fence the other day whilst being chased by the police.

This incident happened in Enskede in Southern Stockholm last week.  The offender attempted to rob a house and the police took chase - only to eventually find him stuck, unable to get backwards or forwards, in a fence a little way away.

The Stockholm police could not help themselves but to post the picture to their twitter account.

Eurovision semi-final 2012: 20:00 tonight on BBC3

We love Eurovision.  Mostly we love eating dill crisps with dip-mix at every Eurovision oppportunity.

This year, we especially love The Hump.  The Hump.  The lovely, little Hump.  Here he is, in all his former Orange glory:

Here's The Humperdink pretending to be Liam Gallagher

And here's the Hump getting academic

The HOT looking Humpsie Dumpsie

The mini Hump?  Is there is connection there or what?

  

Is it a coincidence The Hump sang a song called The Lesbian Seagall?  Sorry, Seagul?

Engelbert Humperdink is not singing tongiht at the semis because Uk always qualify - so tonight, please supposrt Denmark, Finaland and Iceland:  We're trying to make it an all Scandi-esque final this year.

Thanks.

Norway Day catch-up

Thanks to all you guys who popped by the cafe yesterday to help Norway National Day even nicer. We did lots of tastings of the different kinds of brunost (brown cheese) and served a phenominal amount of hotdogs wrapped in Norwegian lomper (a type of potato pancake).

Rebekka made beautiful Norway cupcakes in red, white and blue - and the front of house team served open sandwiches with sliced fenalaar (dried lamb), Norwegian meatballs and Norvegia cheese.  

We had a wonderful day listening to A-ha and Royksop on repeat (inter-mingled with the Norwegian national anthem).  

We are already looking forward to next 17 Mai in London.

Danish school in London / Dansk Skole i London

There's a lot of talk about setting up a Danish school in London and we're happy to pass on the info in case others are interested in taking part in this.  If you are interested in hearing more about this Danish School you shoudl attend the meeting on 26th June - read on for details.

The school is modelled on the New Model School concept (google Maple Walk for a good example of such a school) - and it will follow the Danish curriculum.  It is fee paying, but minimum fees and non profit.

If you are interested in attending the first meeting about this school, you can sign up by e-mailing dendanskeskole@hotmail.co.uk.

Here's all the info you need - direct from the people who are working on setting this school up:

Invitation

We would like to invite you to the inaugural meeting for the Danish School in London

The meeting will take place at 7.30 on the 26th of June at the Danish YMCA:

Dansk KFUK
43 Maresfield Gardens 
London NW3 5TF

Who are we?

 ·Eva Lunderskov Papesch, Danish born Doctor, permanently based in the South East for the last 10 years, has lived in London for a total of 14 years.

·Michael Papesch, New Zealand born Doctor, permanently based in London for the last 16 years

·We are married and have two bilingual children. We are missing a bilingual fulltime primary and secondary education option in London and are passionate about making our vision of a Danish-English school a reality

Rationale: Why do we need this school?

·We conducted a survey of parents of 150 Danish children who are predominantly permanently based in London. The results of a survey of the Danish community in the southeast of England, showed an overwhelming interest for the establishment of a school with a Danish Ethos

·This is not a business venture, we are doing this because we have a vision to provide fulltime bilingual education to Danish speaking children in London

Meeting agenda

· Presentation of our initial proposal of a bilingual Danish/English fulltime Primary and Secondary school in North London

· Appointment of a start up group assisting with the next steps of the process, including fundraising, networking, legal and business input

And in Danish:

Kære Forældre

Tusinde tak for jeres positive respons til vores spørgeskema angående en danskfolkeskole i London. Interessen har været overvældende positiv og vi har nu etableret en model for den skole vi håber at starte i efteråret 2013 eller 2014. Vi håber at kunne optage reception/børnehaveklasse elever, men hvis interessen er der, er der eventuelt mulighed for også at optage year 1 elever, når vi starter.

Hvem er vi?

 

Vi er Eva og Mike Papesch. Vi er begge øre-næse-hals læger og arbejder henholdsvis halv og heltid for NHS. Eva er oprindeligt fra København, men har været bosat i London og the Southeast, i over 14 år. Mike er oprindeligt fra New Zealand, og har været bosat i England i 16 år. Vi har selv to børn og det er vores ambition at give dem en integreret to-sproget opvækst.

 

Opstartsmøde

Vi har nu fastsat en dato for vores længe afventede opstartsmøde:

Tid: 26. Juni 2012 kl 19.30

Sted:     Dansk KFUK
              43 Maresfield Gardens 
              London NW3 5TF

Sprog: Der vil blive talt dansk og engelsk

Svar udbedes.

Skole model

Efter mange overvejelser og besøg til andre nationalitets skoler og privat skole, har vi bestemt os for at forsøge at oprette en skole der i særdeleshed henvender sig tildansk talende familier, der er langtids bosat i Sydøst England. Vi forventer at tilbyde et independent engelsk curriculum og desuden undervisning på folkeskole niveau i dansk. I en del fag vil der desunden blive undervist på dansk, inklusiv idræt, musik og billedkunst. Grunden til at vi har taget denne beslutning er, at vi ønsker at tiltrække elever der forventer at blive på skolen i mange år. Denne model giver desuden mulighed for,  at elever kan blive optaget på eller forlade skolen, fra eller til det engelske skole system. Dette er specielt relevant ved skole skift omkring det tidspunkt der svarer til engelsk secondary og  efter niende klasse/ GCSE. Skolen vil naturligvis også være åben for dansk talende børn der er bosat i London i kortere tid.  Se desuden vores vedhæftede dokument om vores vision og handlings plan. En mere detaljeret gennemgang vil finde sted den 26. juni.

Blive medlem af opstarts gruppen

Vi leder pt efter personer der er interesserede i at hjælpe med opstarten af dendanske skole. Specifikt leder vi efter personer med erfaring inden for jura, undervisning, skoleopstart, danske ministerier, fundraising, marketing, webdesign, investering- og entrepenuering, byggeplanlægning, arkitektur, regnskabsføring og forældreskab . Hvis du eller din partner har en af de nævnte kompetancer og I er interesserede i at hjælpe med opstarten, er du meget velkommen til at kontakte os via email, eller blot snakke med os den 26/6.
