    Happy New Year - cult video

    As most of you will probably not be online when the New Year begins, I thought I'd come in a bit earlier with all the best wishes for your New Year. May everything work out fine for you.

    And here's a special gift. It's a sketch that has gained cult status in Germany. It was brought from Britain to Germany by a TV producer, and meanwhile several TV stations broadcast it every New Year's Eve. It was filmed in a theatre in the 50s, so the laughter is real. It's always shown in English (mostly with a little introduction in German). Enjoy.

    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

    I should have known!

    I watch it every year. And we acted it out at New Year's Eve two years ago. Hilarious!

    That one has been broadcast here in Sweden every New Years Eve since 1976!

    Hm, what does that prove? That British, Swedish and German people share a common sense of humour after all? At least a little bit? Someone should do some research ..
