Bata – she shoes sandoools that say you know Africa have made the mistake of using them during the rainy season (I wore them in May this year and washed them about 3x with Omo “Powerfoam”). I prefer the cheaper ones anyways (red and blue type).

Lung Tonic
I caught a cold earlier this week and killed it with some Panadol Coldcap. To fight the upcoming cough, I bought “Good Morning – Lung Tonic”.
“Good Morning Lung Tonic is (a) greyish brown Syrup – dawa ya kuponyesha kukohoa, makamasi, maumivu ya kifua na kadhalika. Each 5ml contains: Tolu Solutionn BPC 0.56ml, Capsicum Tinc BPC 0.25ml, Creosote BPC59 66.65mg, Anise Oil BP 13.89mg and Liquorice BPC 25.00mg.”
Liquorice, yeah! Lakini….
Dear Parents,
please please please NEVER ever think about buying “Good Morning – Lung Tonic” for your children. Your children would otherwise instantly hate you for the rest of your life.
Verdict: -4 out of 10 points, but only since it only costs 55 bob which is ok for medicine.
the birch
The owner of this birch (tree) runs a garage and I was told that he had put some old tires around the tree when it was still small.
This is my last day in Suderburg. YEAH! :-)
Quiek!

Ein hammergeiler Trailer zum neuen Sönke Wortmann Film “Ein Sommermärchen”, soeben veröffentlicht beim SPON und da ich bisher noch nicht gecheckt hab, wie/ob man ausm SPON die eingebetteten (geschützen?) Videos verlinkt, hier also ganz old-school der Hinweis auf einen zumindest vielversprechenden Trailer – und so ganz nebenbei wird uns auch noch verraten, was damals auf Lehmanns Zettel stand.
Die WM 2006 hat mich echt nachhaltig beeindruckt.
silica gel fun
What happens when you mix Silica Gel with water? Silica Gel, these little pebbles inside of food packagings (like my emtpy Sushinori bag here) which are supposed to absorb any moisture…
…well….it starts to react with the water and jumps up and down (just like popcorn!):
“Silica Gel has been the favored desiccant of the government and industry since World War II. It prevents rust, corrosion, tarnish, oxidation, mildew, fungus, mold, odor, spoilage, spotting, toning, and stains. Silica Gel is an extremely important substance in the world today, which makes it especially unfortunate that so few people give it the respect it deserves.” (source)

sigara names
According to some brilliant marketing experts, xmas season for cakes & biscuits started this week on Monday morning.
Various xmas cookies for sale as early as September…
Same procedure as last year? German shopblogger Björn Harste has more on this. So what’s next? Chocolate Easter eggs on sale in November? Makes me think of finishing this “Top10 of cakes” post I was working on last night…
Talking about peculiar marketing, I just witnessed this funny scene @ a petrol station where someone wanted to buy cigarettes and couldn’t get the name right. That is, where are still in Germany over here – meaning: English words = German pronounciation. Aaaarrr juu gätting mai point? => In a world of strategies, where everything at the Point of Sale is detailed out from product placement to advertisment slogans, the cigarette manufactureres missed one important point: unpronouceaboooool brand names.
Pall Mall = Paaaaaaallll Maaaaalll
Marlboro = Maaarlll-boooohroooh
Drum = Druuuuummmmm
Lucky Strikes = Laaaakky Straikksss
R1 Slimline = Eeerrrreins Sliiihm-Laiihnn
Gauloises = Gauloises (fortunately, France seems to be close enough)
John Player Special (JSP) = Joott Peee Esss, Jäi Pii Esss, Pläijass
etc.
And the bad is yes, that the smokers before all in the educationweak population to be found are, which anyway not so good Englisch can.
