Nynne and the empty hoses..!

‘Oh Brancepeth,’ said the girl, her voice trembling, ‘why haven’t you any money? If only you had the merest pittance - enough for a flat in Mayfair and a little weekend place in the country somewhere and a couple of good cars and a villa in the South of France and a bit of trout fishing on some decent river, I would risk all for love.’
- from "Lord Emsworth and Others" by Sir P.G. Wodehouse.

I haven't just randomly got hooked to the subject of women, not that it really needs a reason, but first, I came into posession of the fact that Gloria Estefan is 50 years old and second that I just saw the Danish movie "Nynne".
There has to be some mechanism of finding out a woman's age. I mean, for all you know Gloria looks like someone in her thirties. Anyway, I have to get used to calling her Aunt Gloria from now on.
Coming to the topic of "Nynne". I think that movie making in Denmark should be banned alltogether. They have absolutely no right to make fun of the audience. Movies like "Nynne" and some of the other Danish movies I have seen actualy thrive on the fact that the audience merely has the intelligence to just about open their mouth when they want to eat. Its the story of a woman who is very lonely (in her thirties), having sex with almost everyone around her, and we are supposed to sympathise with her that she isn't able to find Mr.Right. The only saving grace is that Mille Dinesen is a very good looking woman, and we get to see her nude.
Getting away from the topic of the fairer sex for just a little while, an Albanian fishmonger set fire to his van in a burst of anger after the national soccer team lost to the visiting Dutch side, and firefighters failed to extinguish the blaze because someone had stolen their water. Vilson Alushi had vowed to burn his fish-delivery van if Albania failed to win a point against the Netherlands on Wednesday. Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy put paid to his hopes with a goal in injury time to end the game 1-0. Alushi duly doused his car with gasoline in the centre of the southern town of Delvine and watched indifferently as his friends alerted the firefighters, newspapers reported. They arrived promptly on the scene and unreeled the hose, only to find it was dry. It seems that residents living near the fire station had drained the tank to help them cope with Albania's chronic water shortage.
The women must have drained all the water. Its so like them!
Since we are on the topic of women, today's video is Flamingosi's tribute to womankind - "La Gitana"...
