Una lleva demasiado tiempo en Londres…

20060110, filed on humor, london

… cuando al escribir (a mano) escribe canya en lugar de caña
(como si los bolis ingleses no fueran capaces de escribir eñes o acentos).

eurocero 20060110: Pero ahora ya escribes siempre (a ordenador) con eñes y acentos, ¿no?
Y eso de la "ny" me imagino que será una cosa de Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, etc. A mí nunca se me ocurriría…
sole 20060110: Si, pero tengo que cambiar manualmente el layout a espanyol cada vez que quiero tener enyes y acentos. Todos los ordenadores que uso son ingleses, y normalmente paso de cambiar el layout… excepto para el blog, que queda muy mal :D
Que pondrias tu? Cania? Canha?
eurocero 20060110: Yo al principio también escribía el blog sin acentos ni eñes, hasta que descubrí que cambiar el layout es sólo cuestión de pulsar dos teclas y adaptarse a ello un problema de costumbre.
Yo pondría/ponía "cana" o "Espana". En palabras como "año" la conversión es un poco más problemática :P, aunque para mí mucho menos traumática, porque en gallego, "año" se dice "ano".
Chica 20060110: Te dejo esto que me enviaron el otro día en el curro:
You have been in London too long if…
1. You say "the City" and expect everyone to know which one.
2. You have never been to The Tower or Madame Tussauds but love Brighton.
3. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Shepherds
Bush to Elephant & Castle at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but
can't find Dorset on a map.
4. Hookers and the homeless are invisible.
5. You step over people who collapse on the Tube.
6. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language
makes you multilingual.
7. You've considered stabbing someone.
8. Your door has more than three locks.
9. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.
10. You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a garden.
11. You consider Essex the "countryside".
12. You think Hyde Park is "nature".
13. You're paying 1,200 a month for a studio the size of a walk-in wardrobe
and you think it's a "bargain".
14. Shopping in suburban supermarkets and shopping malls gives you a severe
attack of agoraphobia.
15. You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the UK pay
in rent.
16. You pay 3 pounds without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28p.
17. You actually take fashion seriously.
18. You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.
19. The UK west of Heathrow is still theoretical to you.
20. You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.
21. Your idea of personal space is no one actually physically standing on
you.
22. £50 worth of groceries fit in one plastic bag.
23. You have a minimum of five "worst cab ride ever" stories.
24. You don't hear sirens anymore.
25. You've mentally blocked out all thoughts of the city's air/water quality
and what it's doing to your insides.
26. You live in a building with a larger population than most towns.
27. Your cleaner is Portuguese, your grocer is Somali, your butcher is
halal, your deli man is Israeli, your landlord is Italian, your laundry guy
is Philippino, your bartender is Australian, your favourite diner owner is
Greek, the watch seller on your corner is Senegalese, your last cabbie was
African, your newsagent is Indian and your local English chippie owner is
Turkish.
28. You wouldn't want to live anywhere else until you get married.
29. You roll your eyes and say 'tsk' at the news that someone has thrown
himself under a tube train.
30. Your day is ruined if you don't get a copy of Metro on the way to work.
sole 20060110: dios mio… lo peor es que estoy de acuerdo con muchos de los puntos XDDD
Aunque si que he ido a Tussauds… pero muy bueno el e-mail :D
Madieta 20060112: Esto se podría adaptar a Barcelona sin demasiadas modificaciones :P
humphr3y 20060112: Por mi puedes usar Espanya sin problemas… al menos a mi, no me molesta… incluso, puedes hacerlo como si fueras portuguesa (Espanha) o francesa (Espagna) … todo se pronuncia igual… ea!
