Ich hab ne Zwiebel auf dem Kopf ich bin ein Döner!

Ahh, the European love of novelty songs. Ireland is sending a turkey puppet to the Eurovision. I think the public rationale was to take the piss though this may backfire and win. Either way, Dana is pissed off so it has to be a good thing.

Paddy's Day. Instead of pinning symbolic vegetable matter to my coat and escorting elderly relations to church, prior to attending a tedious parental-work sponsored party where lots of aging local journos get pissed while watching boy scouts go past on tractors, I am in work and have already fixed three documents this morning.

At the weekend, I indulged in a probably stale local meme and went for a spin on a Microscooter. Lots of fun. Would do again even if it is only for children and sad old dudes.

Easter holidays coming up. Woot! Might make it down to the Italian bit of the country as I haven't spent any time there at all.

Babelfish translates that as by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 06:02:34 AM EST

"I have ne bulb on the head I are a Doener"
Which is somewhat whimsical in its charm.

I would have a stab at it as "I have no beef on my head I am a Doner kebab".

There's a bit of dialect going on, but it means 'I have an onion on my head, I'm a doner kebab'.

Messed up the zweibel translation!

Dialect? by BadDoggie (2.00 / 0) #4 Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 06:42:08 AM EST

Reducing "eine" to "'ne" may have roots in Bavarian but that sort of article abbreviation is fairly common in poetry and lyrics.

woof.

I guess I spend too much time with people who blame anything they are not keen on linguistically on Bavaria;)
