Technobabble

I don’t suppose anyone out there fancies a good - quantative easing - do
they …?????

………………..time for the abuse button I hear you all thinking :)

Well you can - quantativly ease - me anytime :)

…………….definitely button time :)

To be honest this phrase only applies to my bank account , to you with dirty minds :) and I suppose it means easing ( your financial status ) by putting more quantity
( money ) in it , and is really one of those financial phrases , which means putting more money in to the economy, although why its not called that in the first place, is of course - beyond me .

No - I’ve not turned in to an evil financier - grabbing millions in bonuses in my wake and investing in a myriad of hedge funds , its merely the fact that the B.B.C. Financial Program is on T.V. before I go to work , so my head is usually full of all this kind of stuff , not that I understand what it all means – mind you :)

So I’m off to do a little - quantative easing in my hedge fund – if that’s ok with you :)



War and Peace
---------------------

Hey !!! - I’ve just found out the “real meaning” of being a Nobel Peace Prize Winner and its apparently ……….”sending even more soldiers to war” ………

Ok - maybe I’ve got this totally wrong , and the meaning of the word - peace - has now been changed , and what with the panel that award the prize being Norwegian , maybe the translation is slightly different , so I’d better go consult –

The Oxford English Dictionary , or maybe the Norwegian equivalent -
The Oslo Norwegian Dictionary :)

……..hmmmmm….. ….no it hasn’t , and guess what the word ………..

…………hypocrite…… …..remains exactly the same in English ……

…………. as it is in Norwegian !!!.
