Sinners*…

(* correct me if I’m wrong but ‘Sinners’ is the proper Christian term for ‘Assholes’, right?)

Yup, yet another posting about the electric car parking facilities at Nordby köpcenter. This time it’s about people who apparently can’t read Swedish. Either that, or they’re just plain selfish bastards!
The dark car on the left clearly has a big, fat exhaust hole, and as far as I know the Peugeot 207 ain’t electric either…
Since it’s a bit unclear, these are the license plates (from left to right):
DL 21600 (Norwegian plate), LGZ 821 (Swedish) & LCC 493 (Swedish). In my opinion these cars should be banned from visiting Nordby in the future, since they don’t obey the rules set by the shopping center.

Electric car parking at Nordby köpcenter, an update/rectification

A couple of months ago I was a bit negative about the dedicated parking spots for electric cars at Nordby köpcenter (a huge shopping center in Sweden, just across the border from Norway and very popular by Norwegians).

Two things have changed since then (one perhaps related to the other):

  • * Nordby is no longer parking their own (non-electric) vehicles in this area.
  • * The spots have become popular!

Earlier today, when we were there, no less than 4 Nissan LEAF’s were squeezed into the area meant for 3 cars. (The 4th LEAF obviously wasn’t charging since there are only 3 230V outlets available).

I’m posting this update here in the hope that the people at Nordby (and other shops, public venues, etc) see how popular the electric cars have become in such a short time and that they perhaps even add a few more parking/charging spots. :cool:

Time for some suit-shopping…

In opdracht van hare majesteit de Koningin heeft harer majesteits ambassadeur de eer de heer Meulie uit te nodigen voor een ontvangst
An invitation to meet Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in person during her state visit to Norway next month! Now that is quite a surprise! :cool:
Problem is, the invitation states: dark suit…
Those of you who know me a bit know that suits are not my usual wear. Actually, the people who have seen me more than once in a suit can probably be counted on the fingers of 1 hand…
I guess I don’t have a choice but to visit a clothing store at Nordby Shoppingcenter tomorrow and find myself a decent suit for this occasion. Afterwards I am sure I can use it for weddings, funerals and whatnot… :wink:
