Stop! Hammer and sickle time!

According to the latest poll here in Trondheim, Arbeiderpartiet (Labour party) and SV ("Socialist" left wing) combined would get 45% of the votes (as of Friday). Of the 45%, Arbeiderpartiet polls at 39%.

This is historically and statistically bad news for the likes of me should the predictions hold. Traditionally, this type of regime - you know; the form of government starting with a "c" and ending with the fall of the Iron Curtain - is prone to setting people with higher education to work in rice fields.

No es bueno......

Well, you can find comfort in the fact that working in the rice field pays slightly better then an academic position...

A good point can't be repeated too often, I tell ya!

So rice field workers have better unions than the likes of me?

Good for them, I say

A side note regarding your not-so-subtil reference in this post's heading: On several occasions I've had the pleasure of hearing mr. Hammer's music by the pool down here. It seems they have a radio station where Mr. Hammer along with KLF, Snap and 2Unlimited are on heavy rotation. Delightful!

What are you talking about - I'm way subtle.

Do they also jam C&C Music Factory? Everybody Dance Now...

Anders said...

Yes! You bet! I didn't know the name of the band.

Wilhelm said...

Well, you see; apparently my brain compensates for my lacking geography knowledge by amassing freakish amounts of trivia about 80's and very early 90's pop music.

That song is from 1990, btw.

I prefer to keep my brain nice and tidy with lots of free space... :-D

Today it seems that the poolbar has found their mixed tape of newage elevator music, which they have put on repeat. Bummer. I'll take 80s and 90s hits over newage any day.

Wilhelm said...

KLF is gonna rock ya'

Anders said...

Good news! The newagey elevator music is gone!

Anders said...

Bad news! The 80's and 90's crap is back (what's wrong with blues?).

Wilhelm said...

At least no Yanni or Enya, then.

That es no bueno

Wilhelm said...

What's wrong with da blues? You really wanna know, or are ya just baiting me up in hyah'?
