I have tried to reblog Jeffrey Hill's post - Well... Hm...does not look very professional - perhaps next time



This cartoon by Paul Thomas from The Daily Express refers to the news that the Queen, returned to London from King’s Lynn on a scheduled train service at the end of her six-week break at Sandringham. Read more >>

We see the Queen sitting in a railway carriage. She is wearing a headscarf and the royal handbag is on the seat beside her. (ER stands for Elizabeth Regina, the Queen's monogram. 'Regina' means 'Queen' in Latin.) The man sitting opposite the Queen (who, we must assume, is just a regular passenger), says, "Give me another clue—your face definitely rings a bell ..." The Queen does not look amused.

IDIOM
If you say that something rings a bell, you mean that it reminds you of something, but you cannot remember exactly what it is.

CARNIVAL!!!!!!! This is your homework! I'm afraid there is no English translation.



Ref.: Drob´n auf´m Berg jo do steht a kloana Zwerg
Und der hat a rote Zipfelmütze auf
Und er siagt am ander´n Gipfl einen ander´n Mützenzipfel
Ja da nimmt des alte Zipfelspiel sein´ lauf
Drob´n auf´m Berg jo do steht a kloana Zwerg
Überlegt wie er zum andern Gipfl kimmt
dass er sich dem Mützenzipfel drüben auf dem ander´n Gipfel
nähern kann und sich ein Zwergenfräulein nimmt

Wenn i nur fliag´n könnt´, denkt sich der kloane Zwerg
fliagat i rüber oafach zum andern Berg
wär ja ganz einfach, wenn i a Vogel wär´
doch für uns Zwerge is des unheimlich schwer


Weil er net fliag´n kann, nimmt er sich sein Mobilphone
Er ruaft die Hotline für Zwergenprobleme an
Is ja ganz einfach, ein Helikopter kommt
der bringt ihn rüber zum andern Gipfel prompt
