A coffee and a small Danish.

Could be Romansh...


Anyway... what the hell is this supposed to mean?

• Name:
  Mathias Sunekær Norsgaard Jørgensen (né Mathias Norsgaard)
• Georgian:
  Mathias Norsgaard
• Emma Norsgaard Bjerg Jørgensen (née Emma Norsgaard)
• Georgian:
  Emma Norsgaard

What's "Georgian"? They're Danish.
Also, PCS has clearly misunderstood something. They both dropped 'Jørgensen'...

(Yes, I know... Mathias Norsgaard isn't exactly a small Danish...)

He has to be removed from your CQ team immediately.

Georgian can refer to an historical period as well as a nationality: might they have been born 1715-1830?

Check if Lars Bak and Jesper Skibby are also Georgian. If they are, it means the Georgians have invaded Silkeborg.

Nope. Bak is just listed by his full-name, with no added info.

Changizi isn't Georgian either. However, it appears his father might have been from Iran.

I'm quite sure I haven't seen any Georgians wandering conquestically around the streets.

They could be undercover...

I just had a very very silly idea:
They should totally have a stage in the PNDKR finishing in this village:

Paris (Lemvig Kommune) - Wikipedia, den frie encyklopædi

da.wikipedia.org

(Or, if that's logistically impractical, just a stage going through.

This is the stage we want to see someday, with a small detour through the Rom just outside of Lemvig as well:

Rom to Hamborg

I first read that as a stage in the DPRK. That would be a grand depart with a difference.

Perfect!

I just love that the estimated time is over 9 hours! Yeah... I don't think the pros are gonna take quite that long...

Excuse me! That's against the rules!

Okay, I just have a closer look.
Love how they pass Bjarne Riis at some point.

Meanwhile, DCU:

"Stage 4 of the PNDKR will start in Rudkøbing on Langeland, and end somewhere on Fyn. We haven't decided exactly where yet, but here's the route on a map, and also the stage will be exactly 177.5 km."

I am sure they will finish in Skallebjerg. Here are some photos of my proposed finish area and 1 km to go arch:

With all the wind cancellations lately, I have read several times in Danish media the expression 'it's blowing half a Pelican' to say that it's windy. That's very high on my list of most random expressions I've ever heard. Where does it come from?

 

[topcat]

A wind that would blow the arse off a tin man.

rhymes with "orkan" (hurricane)

We have a way with words.
Maybe a bit strange, but certainly a way.

Another one is "Så er dén ged barberet" ("Now that goat is shaved") to indicate that a task is done.

What's strange about that?

I don't see any cows on the ice nor owls in the bog.

We prefer milking the goat rather than shaving it, thought that's an online Dutch meme. Otherwise we just prefer washing the piglet.

The pelican is even the first one listed. So clearly my reaction was warranted. 'Ugler is mosen' is also used in Norwegian. But those others are a city in Russia for me.

With the weather we have had lately, I don't think it would be much of a problem if there were a cow on the ice.

Otoh... if it's getting warmer soon, it might become a problem.
