Oh god Gammle Dansk. *shudders*you forgot that your mouth is also full of marshmallows, and you've had at least two beers and a Gammel Dansk chaser
Danish tongue twister that aren't tongue twisters at all just a way to make children and forenz say things in a funny accent. What is that about? Writing Slut and Fart everywhere! I Fart = In service. How does one keep straight face?
ironically if you ask a non-Copenhagener how to say it they will say a mumblecore version of frid-ricks-berh. But really fast. And, I kid you not, it varies across generations, Amager is Am-ah (last syllable gets binned) to the hipsters but something like Ah-mah-er to their grandparents. The difference is so great I though they were talking about to different places.
The other genuinely funny thing is never ask two people walking along together for directions. They will just have a friendly argument, in Danish, about the best way to get to your destination, involving which route has the best cafes, least immigrants (immigrants=criminals. Danish prisons were presumably empty before forenz were allowed in), which political party best manages the Danish economy, &c., &c. and quite possibly forget you are there and the question you asked.
But I think they are lovely people and cph is a lovely city.
There are plenty of things I can't say about Denmark as it holds a resonant spot in my earlier life, but yes, great city, in spite of the fag smoke!

Actually said that to an Area Manager, slight change of word with regards the car crash.
Within a month they'd been replaced when it did happen.

Why do I feel at 47 years old that my career in IT is a dead end? I really can do it all. But the jobs will go to the kiddies with degrees that can't do a 10th of what I can.

47? You're but a babe in arms. What are your employers like about continuing professional development? Would they support your application for, and contribute to fees for some further academic qualifications for you? It would give them additional options when recruiting, and also help them to tap your potential. Would your current experience and qualifications mean you could go straight on to some sort of Masters' course that would accredit your prior learning?
These might be good places to start:

Fer feck's sake, TV licencing, that is the fifth letter you have sent saying a visit from the "enforcement officer" has been scheduled. Just send the goon round so that I can publicly humiliate him and we will be grand.

I don't like Bob Marley & The Wailers. There. I've said it. Never have done, never will do and to quote my Mother 'it's just a bloody racket' (Unlike Yngwie Malmsteen who is awesome so there Mother)
What I really don't like is Karaoke BM&TW so to my neighbours 10 doors down:
Shut the f*** up, you annoying gobshites. You can't fricking sing, you are worse than the sainted Bob, and that is saying something. You are well over 50 metres away and the 'music', and I use the word in it's most general sense, is so loud that we can't hear the TV. I can hear it over guitar practice with my headphones on.
Buffalo Fricking Soldier, 5 times in a row now, has lost it's appeal, not that I ever liked it in the first place.
Thank you

It's gone all quiet now. There are police outside their gate. I don't think that I am the only one around here who doesn't like Karaoke, or Bob Marley for that matter. Back to our nice quiet street again.
Oh dear
