How to use a book


Since Myris and Tony referred to this book thing, and since scrolls and papyrus are obviously still popular in certain quarters, I thought I'd share this wonderful little sketch from Norway......

If friends Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie had thought of this sketch and performed it, we would all have hailed them yet again as satirical geniuses and their salaries and egos would have inflated yet further......

Isn't the one on the left out of Abba?

We're progressing backwards for Christmas
Across the Nooorth Sea......

No, the one on the left is definitely a Norwegian, whereas the Abba fellow was most definitely a Swede! But I agree the likeness is striking....

"So you're sure I won't LOOSE any of the text?"

Even the translation incorporates the Scandinavian/ Abba/ Norwegian pronunciation. Very impressive.

Have they recorded Andy Williams' "Can't get used to LOOSING you"?

BRIAN JOHN said...

Yes, the translation leaves something to be desired. Probably it was done unofficially, by whoever stuck this version onto the internet...
