Hej Michael.

SpecTroMania BBS, er det eneste BBS i Danmark , der er noget værd.
Alt andet er skrammel . Selv om de har mange gode Cracks...

De fleste af mine Snaps og Emuer er hentet på SpecTroMania , og dem
bruger jeg stadig. Alt i alt et godt BBS. men det er ikke blevet til så
meget
på det sidste , eftersom jeg er kommet på WWW. hvilket giver uanede
muligheder for at pleje min interresse for Speccy og Arnold.

Har du iøvrigt set mit nye kunststykke ??
Det kan sees på "Specrum most Wanted" hjemmeside , under "Game Maps"
(Det tog en helvedes tid at flikke sammen)

Jeg har iøvrigt bygget en god PC, af stumper jeg havde liggende, som kun
Bruges til Emu..
Først fandt jeg et bundkort med en 486sx 50 mhz. som jeg satte en
486dx2 66mhz i..
så fandt jeg en 486dx4 100 mhz. og satte den i. samt en 640 mb HD. 16mb.
ram , og et 4 spin CD drev. og direkte kabel til Min Pentium.En meget fin
PC .
til at kører Speccy stuff på ;-)

And to all you folks ,who dont understand Danish, Too Bad....

I dont see why i have to walk around getting captured again?
You wanna tell me about it ???

Here is my solution to the FAQ , and it works...

Warning !! People who want to solve this for themselves , LEAVE NOW :-)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
Here it goes..

Gollum sayz "What has it got in its pockets ?"
Bilbo Sayz"Give me the ring"

Gollum takes the valuable golden ring

Wait
Time passes...

Gollum sayz "Which is the animal, that has four feet in the morning,
two feet at midday, and three in the evening?"
Bilbo sayz "The Man looking East"

Wait
Time passes...

Gollum drop the valuable golden ring

Wait
Time passes...

Gollum goes Southwest

Bilbo takes the ring.

If Mr. Bilbo want to kill him (why not, he deserves to die) he can follow
him and cleave his skull.
I prefer shooting , coz breaking the sword is sooo eeeasy!!
And then you are in trouble for sure , if the nasty goblin sneaks up
from your behind...

Thats all Folks!!

Why? Do you have problems reading or writing Danish? Funny I don't
have problems with English, which means that I can handle 2 languages,
3 German included. Is that because I live in a less civilised world :-)

Think about this!!

Some of the words You Folks use in your language to day
are words that the Danes taught you , thousand years ago,
when they paid England their vissits..(civilizing them??)

"Eng-Land"="Eng-Land" in Danish , do you know what an "Eng" is ??
"Eng" in Danish, it means "Moore" in UK-language..
"Moore-land",spooky...

"Kirk" as the say in Scotland means "Church",and "Kirke" to Danes..
Never saw one myself ..(There is only one Good, Sir Clive)

Your 'Inch' is a system Danes / Norwegians used , building
ther ships .. allmost a thousand yers ago,to Explore the World,
Not Allways Rape and Plunder, this is something Non-Danes
invented to scare them selves,"If you dont do this , those
vicious Vikings takes you away"

Who made Who civilized ??
-----------------

Some thing interresting...

1" = 1 Inch the size of your thum (UK)= 1 Tomme (DK) , 1 Foot(UK) = 1
Fod(DK)
1 Mile(UK)=1 Mil(DK) , 1 Ounce (UK)=1 Unse(DK)
This is all Wiking stuff !!
Speccy was born using Inches!!

As far as i know , your Empire was build using "Tommer and Fod"
Your still using it...

Does this make you more civilized ?

This is NOT a WAR Announcement , but only cool FACTS, if you wanna
check this out X-ref. your local Libary..

Dont E-mail me for this , this letter explains everything...

We cannot offer you any more , is seems you leaned enough!
The Danes won't share it no more..
We keep our language for our self now, like the rest of Skandinavia
allso have their proud and superp language..

The only reason English , became international was , they
had their Colonnies , Concoured Raped and Plundred , and forced Highly
cultured people to slavery , and 'Civilization ??' ,

I guess your right when you wrote:

> They say that english is the hardest language to learn if you are using

Because , forcing a entire nation , to learn 'Civilized' manners and
language sometimes has the opposite effect..

It is well known that 'The Brittish Empire' were quite unpopular , why ?

Example:
Last spring i was doing a job in Saudi, and the Folks there had a very
hostile attitude , the thought we were Brittish/American,because
our 'Pale Bullbous Eyes' Why ? Something about the Gulf War i guess.

Until we told them,that we came from Skandinavia ,that changed the
cool breeze!! Why ? Something about good lookin' bimbos , i guess !!

Thanks for Your time reading this..

Cincerely

Excuse me but "mile" came from the Latin. Quite possibly a lot of your
other stuff did as well but I can't be bothered to check.

That's strange, because I read somewhere that it was the anglo-saxons
that set down the basis of todays english language. Including most of
todays naughty words. That's right, it was a history book!

It is true that there are word from other languages that we pinched, but
that's the same for all countries isn't it?

I'm sorry, but for unmitigated bullshit, this stupid twat takes the
biscuit. I thought I'd stick to the good old AngloSaxon invective. Not
only is he ignorant and arrogant enough to claim that half the UK
language is Danish, he then posts this shit (quoting Paul McCartney?
GIve me strength!) The British weren't the only people to have an
empire, you credulous arse. If an English word has a W in it, its
probably Scandinavian, but there are far more words with a French root
than Scandie. The skill of the British culture has always been with the
assimilation of other influences, and this continues to this day.

What about the Greenlanders, you hypocritical child?

You have a problem with your attitude, do you? I had a mind to reply to
this post in Catalan. If your 10 Million language can go in this post, why
cannot mine? Well, I thought that perhaps I want everybody to understand
it. And I haven't got time for second translations. But at least you could

Well, you too have a problem with attitude. Living in the Mediterranean
coast, my country has been civilised for some two and a half milennia. I
cannot be very wrong by saying Australia has been civilised by two and a
half centuries.

Now, _more_ civilised doesn't mean _better_ so. You cannot ask people to
be civilised only if they speak English. Or any other language, for that
reason.

And as for the _better_ civilised world... well, that's a matter for
another post.

Well, he was probably pumped full of that hype when he was at school,
you know, they place they go to get pumped full of political rubbish.

the real interesting learning comes from experience in the real world

Anyway, in Scotland we have 80 shillings beer, and IPA and stuff like

If I remember my History correctly, and it has been a long time, didn't
at least some of the Angles, Saxons and/or Jutes (sp?) come from Denmark?

I don't really care 'cos this weekend I went back to my parents house and
found my old 128K speccy. My 48K blew up through over use and I went without
any lunch for nearly a year saving up my dinner money so I could buy the 128K.
I took my 128K out of its, original, box and looked at it for a while. Then I
put it way carefully and looked at the box for a while then I put it back
where I found it. I can't wait until I go up there again.

Yep, that'll be Tapper. It was an arcade game and was converted
to the Speccy, CPC, and C64 by U.S. Gold.

The original arcade game's coming to the Playstation (yes, I know
MAME probably already runs it) along with Spy Hunter, Joust 2,
and a few others on the Midway collection.

Well, all Scottish people are mad transvestite barbarians.

Does anyone else have any other ridiculous xenophobic sweeping
generalisations?

You're right!!
Now i remember had the Budweiser version for my CPC6128, not for my

Does one eat the haggis after throwing it? And is this an important part
of its preperation? :) Hmm, and to get remotely on topic, was there indeed a
"Highland Games" game for the Speccy? Or Scottish cooking program, for that
matter...

>Haggis throwing...

Theese funny games that i saw took place in summer 1980,i cant remember
where
exactly , but I will find it out for you..
I remember i tasted the stuff , not the one they throwin'aroud with.
This was quite strong stuff , maybe to cover up the sheep-flavour.
And the Folks look'd like this ;)) watchin'me eating it..
But i can handle the stuff ,I have eaten things you don wanna know about,
back in Greenland..

In 1996 I was there for some repair-job , allso tasting the stuff, not that
i like it !
But i do like the 'Malt-stuff'

Tch.. I go away for a 2 day holiday, and I come back and you've people in,
and what look at the mess they've left - all this crap about
Scottish/English/Danish blah blah.

This is the last time you'll be left alone. From now on, you'll be staying
with your gran!

No. IIRC, it started when men working on the other side of the river to
the village had their wives toss the haggis over so they could eat it for
lunch...

I'm gonna come round there and beat you up, and then eat your twitching
remains. Unfortunately, these garters are riding right into me nether
regions, and causing me to walk in a very undignified manner.. And as for
saying we're mad, well I'm as sane as any.... MOO!! FNUG! BEEP-BEEDYDEE
