Chaos in France

[Dushan]

OFSO, those measures may be there just for you. They know your kind and how dangerous you can be. Normal people wearing kafiyahs and niqabs go without scrutiny.

[OFSO]

Only because all the security staff are Africans ....

By the way, on Friday night in the Terrassa Bistro in the 7th arrondissement, I was served the smallest glass of draft beer I have ever seen. 0.25ml and cost €5.80. Enough to make anybody riot.

Did you happen to take a photo?

Yes I did. I always have trouble resizing on my phone. Suffice it to say the glass of beer is 2/3 the height of the wineglass next to it.

Obviously you don't go to Paris to enjoy beer.

Tiny beer

[G-CPTN]

Whilst living in Denmark, a suggestion was made by a colleague that we should 'share a beer' (it had been a dedicated session), to which the response was "Jeg had aldrigt taenkt at man kun del en Øl" which was a play on grammar - as there is a distinction between "en Øl" and "et Øl" with one referring to "beer" and the other to "a beer".

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

I guess the English equivalent would be done with emphasis. "I never think we should share A beer"
Aren't Danish and English similar when it comes to sailing and drinking words?

[G-CPTN]

I used to muse about two old fishermen sitting comparing words in Danish and English.

Whilst there are similarities, there are, also, differences.
The English worn 'sky' refers to the blue bit, whereas in Danish it refers to 'cloud' or shade.
