Overborgmesterens tale

Overborgmesterens tale

Som tidligere annonceret var vi, Den lille havfrues vikarbureau, nødt til at aflyse den planlagte fejring af den lille havfrues fødselsdag i 11. time. Årsagen var, ganske dansk, vejret. Herr Overborgmester Frank Jensen var inviteret til at holde festtalen. Efter aftale med Frank Jensens sekretariat kan vi her bringe den tale, der skulle være holdt. I stikordsform. Hensigten, budskabet og ordene har stadig vægt, selvom de ikke blev udtalt som plangt! Tak for talen! Anledning...

Saturday August 21st

Todays stand-ins – Per, Izabella, Jannie and John – started off accompanied by the Swedish Police Senior Big Band backdropping the scene with The Sound of Music schlägers… Per, stopping by on his way from Amsterdam to Gothenburg, unfortunately wasn´t able to borrow his sailing costume from the good 1150 tons threemaster “Götheborg” but decided to follow his promise through and struck a pose wearing a crew shirt. We look forward to posting photos...

AFLYST: Den lille havfrues fødselsdag — august 2010

AFLYST pga. massive regnmængder Den lille havfrues fødselsdag plejer at blive fejret med et pressevenligt show, hvor svømmepiger i samme antal, som den lille havfrue fylder år, hopper i vandet og svømmer sig en solid hasvømmevtur. Det kræver gode muskler, og der rekrutteres traditionelt derfor kun trænede svømmere fra danske svømmeklubber. I år er det dog anderledes. Ingen svømmepiger;  ingen lille havfrue på Langelinie, for hun er i Shanghai, Kina i forbindelse...

Rainy Sunday the 8th of August

Although the rain was good in terms of giving the rock a well deserved rub down after an intense first week, most people passing by chose not to sit nor read our unauthorized translations (yes, you guessed right – we used google translate) of what to do when in the vicinity of either rock or web. Later on that afternoon, we were lucky to catch one young man, who coincidentally was on his way to Shanghai AND already had gotten his shorts wet. So without much persuasion he...
