    EU Commission directive :English as the language of the EU rather tha German

    The European Commission

    The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of "Euro-English".
    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k", Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.
    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f", making words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.
    In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e" is disgrasful.
    By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI COM TRU!







    ...and ve al be speking german:D

    A little man in a field of Giants
    Rob Burrows was 5'5" a Scrum half for Leeds Rhinos UK.
    Against all odds he made his presence both on the field and off, known to thousands.
    At such a young age he fell foul to Motor Neurone Disease and died 8 days ago after a tremendous battle against the disease. Rob was 41 years old.
    The love and care of his family and close friends is to be admired.

    "In a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream"......Rob Burrow
    RIP

    My son was at Chikahan with the owner's son a couple weeks ago looking at the reconstruction. The restaurant outside area will be entirely enclosed to accommodate the weather. Hopefully, work will be completed soon. IMO, Chikahan is the best restaurant south of Dumaguete.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR to EVERYONE!

    I am wondering if I am optimistic or pessimistic, so I will quote something I read very recently and which applies forever:

    The current year will be WORSE than the previous one :frown:

    But BETTER than the next one. :happy:

    Ironically,
    Todays rememberance day in UK is seeing hopefully a peaceful protest taking place in London with regard to the Israeli - Gaza situation.
    While the on going War between Ukraine- Russia has taken a back step on the news channels recently, yet people are continuing to die there too.
    Remembrance of those who lost their lives during the two World Wars is respectful, but it is with prayerful hope that these present day conflicts will eventually end in the Peace that we all would like to see.......JB
