When I was a kid (a Norwegian kid), I used to jump off rooftops to land in the semi-soft snow below. Did anyone of you do that?

The phone pic quality's not bad, but why not get a cheap little 3 megapixel camera such as the Sony Cybershot DSC-P200?
Frosken commented on 04.20.06
All pics submitted by me are taken with my Samsung cellular/mobil(e) phone. I've traded quality for mobility. What kind of camera do you prefer?

on stokkem dot be, a footballmatch between the veterans Stokkem against Dilsen, 2 goals on both sides
Smart Set commented on 04.11.06
What's this? Have Norway won something? Can't find it!
wim commented on 04.11.06
as you can read, 25 people watching, 1 for each player and each referee. But then it was the veterans.

So, how about that local sports team, eh? Go Team!
Smart Set commented on 04.11.06
Thanks.

"If I had bothered spending more than five seconds writing the comments for the pictures I submit, then I could've avoided lots of the trash talking. But then again, the activity would lose lots of its charm." - Something like that.
ragnhild commented on 04.11.06
of course, I'll translate anything today!
Smart Set commented on 04.11.06
Ragnhild, would you translate Frosken's comment for us, please?
wim commented on 04.11.06
Good guess SS, English is good for us foreigners
wim commented on 04.11.06
*vogel = bird*, *vogelke (in dialect'veugelke' = small bird*
Smart Set commented on 04.11.06
I could understand Frosken's English OK, but had a lot more trouble with his Norwegian! Incidentally, I thought wim was just asking Frosken to stick with English on SM, but I was guessing...
ragnhild commented on 04.11.06
so if veugelke is bird, what does voogel mean?
wim commented on 04.11.06
on the contrary, he has one. Photographers allways say, *look at the small bird* : *kiek ins noa het veugelke*
wim commented on 04.11.06
no ragnhild, I was exchanging grandfatherly proudness with SS, and small talk with Jaak, because neither of us 2 saw the other mat, being carried away
ragnhild commented on 04.11.06
Then ART said he liked the beautiful focus used here, but Jaak thinks it could have been a bit sharper. And wim says that Jaak doesn't have a sharp bird.
ragnhild commented on 04.11.06
a quick summary of what has just been said here:
wim was angry because he couldn't understand frosken's English, calling him sly since this matt wasn't really in the street, anyway.
Jaak agrees, and he'll be in Stokkem, embroidering, until August.

How to outlive your neighbour: Pertain to words and expressions more suitable for speech than writing. Since the informal spoken language of today, is the formal language of tomorrow, you will be remembered, while your neighbour will be forgotten or misunderstood. cheers
Frosken commented on 04.10.06
Hvis jeg hadde giddi å brukt mer enn fem sekunder på å skrive kommentarene til bildene jeg sender inn, så kunne jeg ha slippi mye av thrashtalkinga. Men samtidig ville sysslen mistet mye av sjarmen sin..
Chaf commented on 04.08.06
We did it in Jersey.
Smart Set commented on 04.08.06
Just memory, wim. I remember stuff that interests me. Nothing really wrong with Donavon's English, btw, just colloquial usage.
wim commented on 04.08.06
Donovan did it when they were a kid, not when he was; How on earth do you do that SS, textual memory?
