TALES OF THE TAME FRONTIER 17:
BREAKSHIT: HOW THEY SWUNG IT
Back in the day, everywhere was like Slovenia. Men were men and women weren't. Women who smoked were sluts.
88 years since Edward L Bernays "empowered" women smokers, the grisly awfulness of misused mass psychology encircles the globe like a boa.
Public relations media manipulation was bad enough when it was just trying to sell shit such as Lidl's Silvercrest SSMP 2000A1 LB3-16 Standmixer Pro food mixer.
To progress from defending the odd indefensible product to installing entire regimes to do its bidding was only a type of capitalist efficiency, from banana republics to the Brexitrumps of today.
Towed from empire to empire, ending in the present theo-oligarchic attempt to please a tough and divided crowd, present-day Slovenia never had long enough to toy with the notion of freedom in a 70s way to actually miss it now.
It's all in the art of the flip. Bernays' "torches of freedom" march was designed to flip public perceptions of the image of women smoking (even in public) from sluttiness to sophisticatedness, when it had become clear to too many people from their own behaviour that they could not possibly be responsible for that amount of sluttiness.
The flipping process was enabled by the way in which the behaviour of smoking and the opinion about sluttiness had become yoked together in public opinion.
In the ensuing rebellion for someone else's cause, non-smoking for a bad reason was exchanged for smoking for the opposite of a bad reason...which, disappointingly, turns out not to be a good reason.
flip flop
Brexitrump was a flip in which the unnatural behavioural demands of political correctness and a realistic world view were flipped in favour of a myopic view of self-interest with the promise that simple ideas will win, if we just act within national borders.
Fanatical ethnicism has always worked out really well in the past. So would any national Hungarian iodine-131 on its way to Slovenia from dirty medical reactors please turn around at RĂ©dics thanks.
Brexitrump was an all-or-quits rampage, just like Peter the Hermit's people's crusade (1096). If you didn't sell up the farm for peanuts to go off a-burning and a-raping and a-looting across Europe to get to Jerusalem to expiate your sins, you were definitely an enemy of the people.
Nobody knew what to do with these problematical pilgrims, who visited bloodshed and mayhem from Neuss to Niš. What were Peter's qualifications? Like Farage and Trump, he knew the right guy for creepy Facebook analytics (Pope Urban II).
The hermit guy (Trump) wore simple clothes (this was before Ralph Lauren) - he rode a donkey (equivalent to a BMW today) - and had a letter personally signed by http://www.jesus.si himself for chrissakes. Still think you're an individual with free will? Get over it.

TALES OF THE TAME FRONTIER 22:
A RATHER LONG RESPONSE
...to https://medium.com/@wyattegates/how-should-men-interact-with-women-in-public-at-night-b34acf2e6a77
Women never tire of the company of other women. Whereas often I get bored with the guys and their deep conversations about sport and alcohol and cars in about five seconds.
Am I gay? In my town the boys all want to drink with the boys, and the girls with the girls. Public demonstrations of affection are awkward and exceedingly rare. You will be a slut. And the boys want to keep it a secret too: you can’t let your mates down by preferring her, to drinking with them.
Here, women are more concerned about how others will portray them, than the ridiculous proposition that they could love some guy. But if encumbered with one, it doesn’t mean you’re exempt from a misandry arms race.
Despite their support through the pain, the collective wisdom of the women is little help. What if you have already “fallen”? Your running commentary about how miserable the guy you were forced to choose is making you will elevate your standing among the watchwomen, in equal measure to the intimacy trashed by your personal life’s conversion into a public drama.
Over coffee and carcinogens, it would be embarrassing not to be able to show the watchwomen that you had somehow failed. Therefore self-abasement before her listening friends, for letting some guy into her life, is key to maintaining a girl’s credibility. Until everyone has to go off because they have found something more important to do. You will be about 29.
So I should have said, young women never tire of each others’ company. As love matters develop women become very bad allies to each other.
Beneath this defensive mask they are SO frightened — and not without reason. The notion that synchronicity might be a turn-on remained unformed in some earlier agrarian hell. Then sex and the struggle for goods became even more inseparable under communism, and its daughters and granddaughters were instructed accordingly. The psychedelic 60s, like everything not-from-around-here, were never more than a superficial pastiche, omitting the anti-materialism and the catholics’ unmentionables. And so the locals never overcame a mostly-physical, unromantically pragmatic, no flirt love model.
They have heard what happened to Auntie Janja. They are timid, and they seem to think that’s a good thing.
Somehow eventually some go off and do it, like mushrooms, in the dark. They have worked out a way of keeping all the men and women apart at night in public especially if they are in any way remotely attractive and we call this scheme JISM — the Jealous Interrupting Slovenian Man. Try to talk to a single woman and within seconds a JISM will jump in to screw up the feng shui. Not to be with this woman, but just to stop the other guy.
Reputation is key, and the most important use of Slovenia’s many languages is to ensure equality, through reputation management. The ultimate societal aim — which is economic — is for everybody’s reputation to be trashed equally.
The general idea seems to be that relationships might slow down or interrupt the drinking which they have been told by their fathers and grandfathers is the main hope for their future. Sure. It is likely to consist of little else. Slovenia’s population grew last year only because of immigration.
Eventually, when nobody is looking, the go-girls give it up, dealing with the nasty necessity the way you might conduct a minor medical procedure or deal with a dangerous snake. Sex is only for reproduction: reproduction jewellery, reproduction furniture…How the girls laugh as the stupid boys battle it out to prove their pork sword is the most honourable, least bothersome, but…y’know…STILL THERE.
As her bewilderment and hopelessness grows, the greater her delight in this, until she ends up inexplicably impregnated by the biggest, wildest, drunkest, most obviously unreliable psycho available. And unhappier than ever, boo hoo. If I am to integrate in Slovenia I must become a proper schadenfreuder.
As everyone here seems to agree, the default guy is a problem guy. A single guy in a bar with women in it. What if he just won’t stop hanging around?
My advice to these very local ladies is to stop flattering your un-60s-ised egos by enjoying that stupid competition. It won’t get you what you want (unless you want Hulk Hogan) because intimacy isn’t a competitive thing at all.
Intimacy cannot be rushed, to fit into the brief periods when you are available. And, a committee-led compromise on who you should fuck is likely to work out about as well as any other committee decision on some complex issue.
Slovene is a language into which world-vibrating catholic sex scandals cannot be translated, thus generating virtually no national media coverage. Theirs is a claustrophobic, inexorably possessive, relentlessly chauvinist, alcohol-based “social life” of limited ideas — the one Melania showed her heels at the earliest opportunity.
Press commentary on Presidential hand-swatting etc. elicits little attention in Slovenia, revealing only the lack of interaction— any more would mean shame of one sort of another — regarded as normal in Slovenia. In the words of Girls Aloud, we’re living in two tribes, and ready for war. Suicide, and spousal murder-suicide, that’s the classic Balkan divorce. Slovenia is top.
Girls have got the upper hand. That’s about all they’ve got. The hand says no. Flirtation is weakness. Relaxation is danger. Surrender is not an option. They might dress real hippy an’ all. But for the mightily uptight, any looseness — which fun demands — implies a trick around the corner (pun intended).
What is my problem? It is a classic case of over-analysis. Pulling technique is a non-subject. Following your unnecessarily arduous but socially-required clamber amid the obstacles of alcoholic desensitization, fellow-girls you must be unhappy for, and JISM, “falling” in love turns out to more of a collapse. You didn’t know, in your teens, that it was just going to go on and on and on like this. Now you are about 29 and almost anything or anyone halfway decent that gets you away from this cycle will do.
You get hitched…but immediately similar orthodoxies apply. As partners you may hang around near one another in public at night. Better to arrive and leave separately, and not to look at or touch each other. Ignore your partner completely and snub them if they make the mistake of paying you any attention, or do anything that might reveal to the assembled onlookers that you are a unit of some kind. Because it’s just so EMBARRASSING! An added benefit is that singles lurking nearby can become inappropriately attentive to the ghost partners, resulting in a confusing fight that you can watch with contempt.
This beautifully correct scene is fun like pulling a big rubber band, to see how far it will stretch before it breaks, is fun. And the result is similarly painful.

managementspeak
This English managementspeak version of Slovenian evergreen Slovenija Od Kod Lepote Tvoje is now available for recording or performance at the usual author rates.
SLOVENIA, WHENCE THY MARKETING RESOURCES?
Eyeballs consuming content,
We have a wow factor,
Did you discover an exciting acquisition scenario?
Can you visionise raising value-added vis-a-vis touching base?
Seizing the vertical I revisit the big picture
Brainstorming on maximizing oversight
Outreaching to a blue-ocean opportunity
Can you visionise raising value-added vis-a-vis touching base?
CHORUS:
Slovenia, going forward,
Hack me a hammock task,
Phone it in, homing from work.
Slovenia, sunshine enema,
Seeking strap-on statistical massage.
Feedback from the cloud
Whose rubber hit the road
Who can action breakthrough engagement
More than our rock star deliverables?
Cross-boundary workstreams resonated
Road map circumnavigated
Nowhere's price-point, is my prebuttal,
Productizes like our head shed.

axe murders
ONE-LEGGED MAN AXED 37 TIMES
Bobo (pictured clutching inspirational people's tabloid Slovenske Novice) admits, phlegmatically, that he did it. Apparently his motivations were inadmissible, and the judge - who has not yet been eaten by worms, see https://is.gd/pFaUol - shouted at him.
Bobo, who complains of digestive problems and told police he can only eat fish and figs, engaged in his one-legged neighbour overkill 18 days after a fire at a chemical dump and recycling plant, 30km away on the other side of Ljubljana, released mercury and various other hazardous materials into the air. It was one of at least three such fires across Slovenia this year.
It turns out the wind blew in Bobo's direction for 9 out of the 18 days between the fire and the murder. During that time the temperature rose steadily to 31 degrees. Mercury flux from soil to air is positively correlated with UV intensity and soil temperature, as well as Hg concentration in soil.
Mercury kind of hangs around in the large gut. Mercury can cause rages.
All kind of circumstantial, and inconvenient if truly a causal factor, as that would make the Kemis factory partly responsible for the murder, and way beyond any Slovenian public defender that Bobo is likely to encounter.
Bobo has his own rationale in mind, to be sure. Bobo is not defending himself - as he denies being a murderer.

decapitations
PARENTICIDES CONTINUE
If there was any doubt that Miha, 30, had some psychologically-defined parental issues, like having to live with them, that all went out of the window when he finally matured, and cut dad's head off with an axe.
It's only seven weeks since the last (double) decapitation in Slovenia - a brother and a grandmother.
And a couple of years ago a guy released from psychiatric detention for killing his mother went right back to the village and chopped off his father's head.
It seems they like to be sure here.
In the UK one beheading can keep the presses going full steam for months.
In Slovenia they shrug - it's not random serial killers or terrorists you need to worry about, but family tensions. You can see it's a very small country.

slovenian wine
AVERAGE VINTAGE TO INCREASE
Unofficial non-existent global weather disturbances and unpopular insurance companies are threatening to ruin viticulturalists after two once-in-a-century spring frosts in a row.
Last year's 1 in 100-year chance-inspired bad minus temperatures were a freak event, according to statisticians.
And so are this year's, meaning that Slovenia's statistical century now began in 2017, and not 2001 as previously believed.
Foreigners, including Slovenian First Husband foreign King MacDonald, were believed to be responsible for the poor weather.
Ptuj, whose wine cellar welcomes tourists who like light music and has wine dating back to 1917, will celebrate the centennial by drinking beer and shouting.

SLOVENIA'S AGING DEMOGRAPHIC CONTINUES
Both the driver on the right side of the road and the front passenger in this car were over the alcohol limit. The driver was too busted up to take the test.
Both his teenage female passengers were trapped in the rear seats, and were incinerated as passers-by watched helplessly, in the rolling hills near Ĺ entilj where dangerous migrants recently massed at the border with Austria.
An in-depth exploration into the Maribor area vineyard’s atmosphere takes place on May 6 at the Old Vine House.

DOG SEX: ARE WE BEHIND?
Lincolnshire has now overtaken Slovenia in canine copulation although no-one has actually been killed doing it in Bomber County yet. I am glad to see the RAF was involved and I hope the Echo will continue to mention it every day or two for the next 70 years lest we ever forget and perhaps erect a memorial to dog bonking at a cost of millions, perhaps with a flea past and a dog fight by the Red Arrooooooos.

dandelion bureaucracy
JE NE REGRAT RIEN
People's tabloid Slovenske Novice has outlined the lawful Slovenian procedure for picking dandelions (regrat).
While picking them for personal use is somehow still unregulated, Slovenia is so anal that it even has legislation mandating the size of business cards, and anyone unlucky enough to be selling dandelions they've harvested must obey the laws - or face a fine of up to 7000 euros for black market work, says the paper.
Dandelioneers will first need to apply by email to their local Administrative Unit, and to the business registration thing AJPES from whence, after obtaining first one password then another, you will be awarded a digital certificate. With this you will be allowed to obtain a kind of casual labour permit.
Then you need to go to queue at the other office (see www.nyjets.si) to get your odd-job work permit stamped or it won't be valid. Everything in Slovenia supports the rubber stamp industry. Usually, the first time you go it will be closed.
Be sure to carry your validated dandelion permit wherever you might encounter dandelion inspectors. If you cannot produce it on the spot, you will get fined anyway. You need to get a new permit every month. It's going to cost you nine euros.
The good news, SN says, is that once you are an authorised dandelion picker, you can pick as many as you like.
The purpose of the article is to remind bored, cross-eyed jealous villagers of another of the myriad ways they can grass up enemies of the state who happen to be their neighbours, fellow citizens, or brown people - Slovenia's number one pastime.
Black market work is ok if you are a lawyer not paying me to fix her English report into corruption at Slovenia's largest power station - http://www.aaa.si/q - and she could get my emails hacked to remove some of the evidence against her.
Meanwhile a woman who was turfed out of her €160,000 flat in some legal shenanigan over a €2,800 debt has threatened to set fire to herself. https://is.gd/jKnsYP
She is white, but Roma and therefore technically brown.
The Pope ripped off Slovenia's banks for €1.5 billion but the government rallied round to let him off.

road shows
NLB MUST GO, SAYS EU
State-owned bank NLB must be sold, says Mr Juncker. Possibly this summer, this time. To recover the 2.2bn euros it has lost assisting Slovenian business, NLB would have to sell for 1.8 times the book value of its shares.
The actual value of NLB is unknown. But considering BHS was only worth ÂŁ1, the London Stock Exchange might seem an unwise venue for the Slovenian government to dispose of 75% minus 1 share of its holding.
Nobody seems to know who would buy an unsuccessful Slovenian bank that, by changing its name when Slovenia seceded, dragged its heels for decades after cheating its former non-Slovenian Yugoslavian customers out of their deposits. Some may remember what happened last time the bank was "definitely" going to be sold to Belgian outfit KBC.
Never mind. The roadshows have begun, and the appropriate words for these have headlined in Finance, as though "potujoÄŤe kampanje" simply could not do justice to an event as grand as John Peel at the Basildon Locarno.
Would potential buyers please note however that, as with Telekom Slovenije and the airports, the country does not really want to sell its biggest bank, that it has to sell, and certainly not for less than the book price.
Foreign purchasers should expect to pay more than it is worth. While rules about speaking Slovenia's secret language mean they will have little control over it once they've bought it.
Future executive summer holidays to London and New York at the taxpayers' expense depend on a prolonged and difficult sale, at a time when tarnished bank brands are scarcely a rare or popular commodity.
With the exception of nposialpu's very artistic http://www.bank.si - now approaching its 10th anniversary without losing or stealing anyone's dosh, or getting ripped off by the Pope, and with a zero bad loan ratio - Slovenia's banks service only a drab elite.
BHS lingered around for years and had a narrow range of boring clothes and a canteen.

13 YEARS FOR ROMEO
The prosecution wanted 25, but mitigating circumstances prevailed in the murder of partner Lidija Ĺ kratek.
For one thing, Romeo was very drunk. And she made him very angry! And so his capacity was diminished.
That's the whole point of getting drunk, and it would be simply unjust not to take account of his decision to uphold local traditions and express his manhood. Besides, he said, she was sleeping around - if so, somewhat pointlessly as it's well known all men are the same. And she was generally behaving like a woman!
Even these attenuating factors did not prevent Romeo regretting the deed, as evinced soon after by his post on Facebook. Whereas shortly before, Lidija had liked something of his.
He even drove to the health centre to see if she could be undeaded, in some of the most selectively diminished capacities ever.
The lesson for Slovenian burglars, rapists and killers of all types hoping for lenient treatment is clear: make sure you are plenty drunk enough to explain why you can't explain why you did it.
Confess quickly and in social media. Merely exhibiting passion in any form is itself regarded as a type of mental defect in Slovenia, and will get you a lighter sentence.
Remembering to do something grey and banal like going on Facebook, after you can't remember what you hit her with, means your sins will be partly forgiven.
It will also help local politicians channel your feelings as a voter, by promising to alter laws to favour domestic violence, as recently occurred in Russia, a country Slovenia is not near.
After a big hangover and interregnum following the collapse of the Roman Empire, organised alcoholism was reintroduced into the area by Minorite monks from around the 7th century AD, along with bad contraception advice and general religious mysogyny.
Although Slovenia is still for the most part backward enough to make accusing your priest of sex abuse likely to upset your mother and all major local employers, Romeo, who is not a priest, already got jail for having sex with a 10-year-old girl.
The judgment in his murder trial is not yet final.

non-employment
PILOT TERROR
The grim effects of it being too expensive to employ people extend even to airline pilots, who despite (unsurprisingly) having to do what they are told when they are told to do it, are still equivalent to Uber drivers in their relations with their non-employer. Except for owning the plane.
Well done Germany for dragging Ryanair (but not its pilots) through the courts. It is surely mad enough that they are prepared to pay the employer insurance themselves, on top of pretending to be self-employed, rather than take on insurocrats from every nation under the sun, and Germany.
The solution - which addresses the original problem, of Ryanair boss Mr O'Leary having to pare everything to the bone in order to compete - is so simple that even a UKIP voter can understand. By following instructions at http://www.bank.si he will merely be replicating the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, only at a level where the money actually does something useful.

slovenia goes to the polls
FIND OUT HOW YOU WILL VOTE
With Brexit on the horizon you have just a short time left to use EU Data Protection law to find out what you think according to data held by a British election-rigging and psyops company.
With its prejudices, language bubble, and high dudgeon, Slovenia is perfect for electoral psyops, which used Facebook likes to press voters' buttons and bring victories for foreign king MacDonald and Prince Boris of Islington.
For just ÂŁ10 you can now find out what you are like with respect to who you will vote for as President this year and whether you will make Slovenia great...again.
There is no evidence that any Slovenian candidate uses SCL Elections Ltd. But it seems likely that the winner will be he who most successfully exploits anger and fear.
So if what you read makes you angry and afraid and broadly fits in with what you already thought, you are probably being manipulated and your vote doesn't count. Well it counts, for the candidate with the best artificial intelligence. It's a bit sad really.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slovenija gre na volitve
IZVEDETI, KAKO BOĹ GLASOVALI
Z Brexit na obzorju ste le kratek čas zapustil za uporabo zakonodaje EU o varstvu podatkov, da ugotovite, kaj misliš, da je po podatkih, ki jih je britanski volitev, vrvja* in psyops podjetju.
S svojimi predsodki, jezične mehurček, in visoko dudžon, Slovenija je kot nalašč za volilnih psyops, ki uporabljajo Facebook rad pritiskom tipke volivcev in prinašajo zmage za tuje kralja MacDonald in princ Boris Islingtona.
Za samo ÂŁ10 zdaj lahko ugotovite, kaj ste kot glede na to, kdo jih bo glasovala za predsednika letos, in ali si bo Slovenija super ... spet.
Nobenega dokaza ni, da slovenski kandidat uporablja SCL Elections Ltd. Toda zdi se verjetno, da bo zmagovalec tisti, ki najbolj uspešno izkorišča jezo in strah.
Torej, če kaj berete naredi jezen in strah in se na splošno ujema s tem, kar ste že mislili, ste verjetno manipulira in vaš glas ne šteje. No to šteje za kandidata z najboljšo umetno inteligenco. To je malo žalostno res.

notes on the translation and woosification problems
* Wrong word, pending arrival of the right word for election-rigging, which is impeded by the impossibility of a non-Slovenian person having anything bad that might take place in Slovenia translated into Slovene without it being watered down and made to sound "nice" - the so-called Woosification Effect.
Here, Slovenia is sure rigging should be woosified into "prirejanje". But there is nothing wrong with merely arranging an election. Some find prirejanje more perjorative - but are immigrants to Slovenia. Others who are not could not produce any word for "arranging" - elections or anything else!
So I refuse to use the unreliable "prirejanje" until it has been fully tested for all possible woosy misinterpretations. For it to pass, a neutral word for arranging an election must also be revealed! Flowers, meetings, and songs are also waiting.
We agree with the voters that the dumbest voter is equal to the smartest. We agree with nearly all of them that they are smarter than the average. Bombarding target groups with the correctly-chosen kind of crap "knowledge" which will get out a numerically superior vote, is what we're talking about. https://is.gd/xUJWXw
So unlike in the court of foreign king MacDonald there is no point SCL Elections Ltd trying to generate Slovenian outrage about election-rigging. They would face a hurdle of some inconceivability.
Non-nautical Slovenia is equally happy to go whichever way its Facebook wind is blowing. Of course "rigging" here is a part-exaggeration (see Popeye).
But the effects of the WE on the People don't apply only to artificial intelligence-based mind games. Properly illegal "ballot stuffing" would be woosified into "ballot filling".
How about rigirati? I made that up but you can see it looks Slovenian and you can do the usual things, rigiš, rigirali etc. I also added a new word to the local vocabulary: dudžon. It is always visoko and never nizko. As usual I only got half an answer in exchange. Where do I pick up the money?

atomic chicken
NUKE PLANT CONKS OUT AGAIN
Slovenia's only nuclear power station has shut itself down again, just three months after a 20m euro refit which saw it offline for 30 days.
Not counting the English-language Slovenia Times - which is unknown in Slovenia - the latest atomic hiccup seems to have gone largely unreported in the free and independent media of Slovenia, except for the obscure Dolenjski List.
The N-plant has previously been brought to a halt by leaves.
But the biggest concerns to be raised about its safety came during the migrant crisis, when it was thought non-white people coming near Krško might affect it in some unspecified way.
Operators HSE said they weren't quite sure why the station shut itself down last week. Since then no further word has emerged concerning the ghost in the machine.
Who ya gonna call? The Russians? Er, no. It's the Americans.
As engineers pondered the reason for the latest incident the Prime Minister, Minister for Education, various other ministers and advisers and their Head of Communications jetted off to France on the government's official plane Air Force Nun, ostensibly to watch handball.

MONTENEGRO IS CLOSER TO RUSSIA
BUT ALSO FURTHER AWAY
It's just 1802km by road from the Montenegrin capital Podgorica to the Ukraine-Crimean border, 20% nearer than Ramsgate.
But if you are planning a parliamentary bloodbath involving a massacre of your own supporters, don't bank on a quick getaway.
It takes four hours longer to drive to the Russian enclave than to Kent. https://www.google.si/maps/dir/Podgorica,+Montenegro/46.1429906,33.6365415/@46.1512536,33.6247518,15z/data=!4m9!4m8!1m5!1m1!1s0x134de8079606867d:0x6bf78a76ea588ae9!2m2!1d19.2593642!2d42.4304196!1m0!3e0
The attempted coup in Montenegro has not been reported in the free and independent media of its former Yugoslavian neighbour Slovenia at all, as it needs the money.
Sanctions-bound Russia is Slovenia's biggest trade partner outside the EU. Russia has responded to the EU sanctions over Crimea and Eastern Ukraine by going on hunger strike until the end of 2017.
And nearly half of Ptuj's chicken factory smell belongs to a Russian-owned firm. https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/112569714916753901063/+SolarpanelSi/posts/5p7yTRsQXS5

very local traditions
A 16-year-old female was killed in the latest fatal drink-drive incident.
She was the second teenage passenger to die in four days, in an impressive start to the year, which has included the torture and fatal beating of a bloke live on Facebook, and the decomposing body of a lady which turned up outside a pizzeria in Izola.
Actually that's just the last few days' worth.
The population of Slovenia is still two million.

no noose is good news
KING OF THE TWEETERS:
SLOVENIA SHOWS THE WAY
The foreign king MacDonald follows the wise counsel of our own Emperor Miro and his priests and courtiers who, although they seldom go mad on Twitter, reject any insufficiently misty-eyed reports on Queen Melanitito's homeland in their mediasphere.
Once again we have proved ourselves to be years ahead of the Americans - this time in the area of sullen and humourless crackdowns on alternatives to the alternative facts.
Slovenia's government, industry and tourist processing plants have been running on official factoids since the country was invented by PR gurus in 1991.

TALES OF THE TAME FRONTIER 15:
BLUT UND BODEN
British bureaucrats have one in their mindedness and the other in their ears.
In the latest Guardian round-up of the changing face of foreign-ness, a London lawyer in the field of nationality issues describes a worst case scenario for people who find themselves in the wrong country.
https://is.gd/x18Rju
It is pretty much the present scenario, but worse. He avers that immigration-and-everything-else outsourcing firm Capita were recently ringing types of humans deemed unsuitable to live it up in Britain every hour to remind them of their marching orders.
This impressive oppressive official stalking behaviour by men in shirts and ties who are ony doing their job will come as no surprise to millions of UK welfare and housing benefit claimants, stitched up by the very same Capita's robotic accountancy and ideologically-driven management of the masses back in the 90s and noughties.
This adds urgency to my mission to find out what exactly it is these national bureaucracies are trying to do with their sorting of "deserving cases", that could not nowadays be achieved with a few cookies - on a global basis and without reference to their clients' country of birth.
Who has no cookies these days? Just poor people!
That's all you need to identify the genuinely indigent (and Osama Bin Laden) who could then have a square drawn round them with some statistics next to it by a videodrone or satellite.
Because this is where it usually comes in handy to inject a bit of fear into the TV news equation.
For in the TV minds of the Brexitrumpeteers, you can stop all terrorism just by refusing "entry" to "our" country to people from countries "we" don't like, as though the population of, say, Saudi Arabia, consisted in its entirety of cookie-cutter potential suicide plane hijackers ...every man jack and jill of 'em.
The same fallacy somehow befalls those possibly well-intentioned people who beaver away at those lists - lists of who gets to eat, lists of who gets to live somewhere, lists of who stays on a piece of territory and who must leave - people with their own economic motives for migrating to the bureaucracy God has chosen for them, people who cannot really see the woods for the trees.
Such works present little emotional difficulty to the participants.
Now www.television.si here is very opposed to this sort of thing.
Surely the least we can expect in return for being tracked geographically, intellectually, and economically, is the right to go wherever we damn well please.
www.television.si has no interest in your purchasing behaviour; it is unconcerned by national borders and takes no position on either side of any.
But the very same crass emotional appeal that makes television popular has got us Brexitrump.
Fortunately, by contrast with Brexitrump and television, www.television.si is not very populist, or popular.
But it could soon be more popular in continental Europe than Theresa Maybe or the American king MacDonald.
Believing in European-ness to the alarming extent of upping sticks to a remote country belonging to the same club, then once settled having the rug pulled from under you by the same forces which motivated you to flee, is a very interesting sensation - something to be experienced at least once in life if possible, like weightlessness.
It is the sense of being chased by nonsense, a roaring ogre full of nonsense, convinced of its own essentiality.
Its data-based view is the inversion of the western value placed on individuality that they don't like so much in Slovenia. It is - and it is - a Hitlerian shift in thinking. Individuals can be little more than plankton or an amoeba with the forces of 28 nation states and their respective Crapitas microwaving down their databases.
In www.television.si's plan, if your cookies show you bought some Melania Trump jewellery or suchlike, you should be able to ignore the most stringent passport control and visa requirements in the world.
Which is basically the same as what immigrationcrats do now.

funny peculiar
A decade ago it seemed Slovenians' sense of humour was frozen forever in the Monty Python and Only Fools And Horses eras. As far as homegrown comedy was concerned, the following seemed typical:
You see a white man and a black man drowning in the sea. Which do you save? The black guy - the white one might be Croatian.
Then in 2008 it seemed progress of the kind the UK saw in the 80s might be on the horizon.
For a moment it looked as though a solution had been found: why not avoid the difficulties of setting up a joke in a highly-inflected language by simply abandoning it?
http://www.stendap.si/najljubsi.html
But alas, the birth of sexual innuendo still had to await the birth of flirting. Worse, innuendo might acknowledge the existence of gayness. It has been decided in a referendum that gayness doesn't exist.
Either way, flirting cannot begin without chairs flying in a whiskey bar. Flirting is too much of a risk, something society trains you not to do.
Flirting in a traditional chauvinistic society might result in bastards, with all the shame and economic confusion that entails.
Accommodation is another restriction on Slovenian funniness. How can you deride the mother-in-law when you depend on her to cook your dinner?
Successfully funny innuendo and self-deprecation both demand the abrogation of jealousy and of hatred of the other. It is hard to ask folks to laugh at you making yourself look stupid, when looking stupid simply means stupid, humourless people thinking you are stupid. And, as they are quick to conclude, inferior.
So self-deprecation is simply taken literally. Self-deprecation has no use in sport, nor in a sporty model of how we are supposed to live.
Like innuendo, self-deprecation requires ambiguity. Innuendo depends on the ambiguity of language - usually impossible in Slovene. Often you do also need to know something about fucking. And bitches. http://jim.si/love
The more complex ambiguity of comic self-deprecation requires the listener to empathise with the character being portrayed, so that the comedic situation can be distinguished from the performer's real-life overview of himself/herself.
Once again, with Slovenians struggling to comprehend each other in their own language, there is zero room for manoeuvres of this kind, and this explains why the only situational pratfalls to crack a smile in their mainly dull, overanalytical world were those of Mr Bean - utterly silent.
So unfortunately, just doing your "stendap" in English wasn't the answer. First you must engineer a society in which laughter matters more than the main preoccupations of the citizenry: money, and the qualifications required to slot yourself into a rigid system so as to get it.
Who wants to be the first to make it more important than doing down your rival, milking every exploitative business, and impressing the bitches? Of course those folks are laughing, and of course they're naughty, but they are not nice.
www.ptuj.co.uk
Before some Slovenian professor suggests a university examination course in comedy, I must opine that a Sense Of Fun, the egolessness associated with the non-Catholic drugs, and a relatively unstructured individualism are what really distinguish the British lack of seriousness from the dreary status extant in the serious business of the Slovenian entertainment firmament.
Is it necessary for the audience to be ahead (or at least abreast - fnarr fnarr) of the comedian in its cultural references, or does the comedy define where the public is - or ought to be - at? If anyone can enlighten me in this regarding Slovenian humour www.television.si is waiting to hear from you.
When you realise that a fragile ego never mends, and that there are more important things in life than survival, you can count yourself emotionally stable and fit to weather the slings and arrows - even the most ridiculous outcomes of ephemeral political ideological bandwagons, and the rest.
Here at least the Balkans, through familiarity with audiences' everyday experience of its pre- and post-communist institutional shambles, has an inkling of where to point its newly-imitated Sense Of Fun.
If only it was economically viable, not a ruinous career move, and too scary, to actually say it. If only woosy complacency was not the order of the Slovenian nation, and its fun did not = drunk.
Until this changes, you could run a translated Bernard Manning show to packed houses in Slovenia tomorrow.
For the indelibly serious-minded, for whom happiness is not enough, humour "has a direct bearing on the nature of conformity, indoctrination, dissent and resistance".

exceptional censor stances
TRUMP ALTERS SLOVENIAN CONSTITUTION?
Since being threatened with litigation by Melania Trump, Slovenian people's tabloid Slovenske Novice has taken a cautious line regarding any mention of the royal couple.
This seems to have resulted in a royal battle over nposialpu's fairly innocuous comment concerning Slovenia's latest plan to ingratiate itself with the super-rich, which is now being reposted every day - and then deleted.
In case this important comment is missing at the time of day you go to look for it at http://www.slovenskenovice.si/novice/slovenija/v-sloveniji-najvec-zapravi-ameriski-turist, it's reproduced in bold below.
If you are some kind of travelling comedian, you need not bother including Slovenia in your itinerary. Unless, presumably, you are super-rich but not funny....
And the comment which has struck terror into the heart of Slovenian journalism? It is simply a response to their banal and ill-starred aim of targeting ultra-wealthy tourists, namely....
And why exactly would high-income-bracket Americans in particular want to come here?
Yes, you other type of Americans - Slovenia is unashamedly poor-ist.
One thing we do know in Slovenia is that we don't want thousands of foreigners cluttering up the place with their non-red faces and their modern ways. But we do want foreign money.
That's why we only want the super-wealthy glamping and staying in our 70s hotels.
So look out, any high-income-bracket Americans reading Slovenske Novice, the grinning Cheshire Cats of the non-legally-liable Slovenian Tourist Organisation want to meet you.
But first they must have a very important meeting to see who gets to go out of Slovenia.
Apparently if you suggest success you can get a free holiday to America, on a very important mission to clop around in high heels at some exhibition thing. Maybe you'll even meet Mel - eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

KEKEC DEFILED: NOW IT'S WAR!
A Slovenian claims to have seen these "anti-Slovenian" posters. They claim to have seen them in Austria.
I'm guessing most Austrians have no more idea who Kekec is than folks in Shepherds Bush do - and you would have to know him as a Slovenian icon for this to work, semiotics-wise. Apart from the little flag.
Und, wer ist "uns"? I believe it is an attempt at political irony and as such should be applauded - as an attempt.
Its problematical beam in its eye is the conservative villagers' tendency to take everything WAAAAY too literally, and their rushes to judgment when it comes to tribal lurches against this stimulus generalisaton or that.
It's just not funny enough - when stirring trouble is so easy. And we have a problem with sick humour being too much of the former and very little of the latter.
The Austrian Embassy in Ljub City, tipped off by VeÄŤer, pronounced itself "surprised" and said it would have Herr Plod look into the matter.
On the plus side, it will be quite a bit less unfunny if it turns out it wasn't really even displayed in Austria. It also kinda reminds me of https://is.gd/JmhXZm

mayor boxing
FRIGHT CLUB
It was an instant knockout as a quartet of Roma from the Kamenci settlement thanked Črešnovci Mayor Anton Törnar for his tireless efforts to improve relations between the gypsies and other local people.
The Mayor, 55, quickly found himself unconscious and minus two teeth after apparently minding his own business and not responding to demands for money from the group drinking nearby, in Odranci's popular Gaj bar and restaurant.
Mayor fighting is a popular activity in Slovenia and the focus of Slovenia's current drive to become a high-profile sports tourism destination.
For details of future tourist opportunities keep watching Črešnovci's official web page, below.
If Občina Črešnovci needs help promoting mayor boxing in English, or you want top-quality English publicity for any rival tourist events in Slovenia, please go to https://is.gd/wKcEs9
Tight-lipped locals could not help reporters with the exact story behind the attack - if there is one - as they have to live there.

TRUMPOCALYPSE 9/11
NEW COOK AMERICA
New US Queen Melanitito
Banned the mole and burrito
Meanwhile insisting every pizza
Begin with base of gibanica,
And ordered culinary labours
Must only imitate white neighbours'.
Then with a tax on refried beans
Erased the Latino cuisine.
Deciding that her people needed
Her wiser national diet, she deed it.
Fox News revealed all foreign spices
Were actually attacks by ISIS.
A royal address on CBS
Advised sports coaches on the mess:
"If Uncle Sam eats curry - fail!
Pineapple with ham? Throw 'em in jail!"
At breakfast beer and burek, NATO
Mapped Peru's evil potato.
All burgers were charred with the Queen's
Logos: skincare, jewellery, jeans.
Appointees to X-Factor panels
And cookery and fashion channels
Promoted haggis: every putz
Wore fashion kilt, dunked ginger nuts.
"Of frijoles and deeez marinades
We have no need Unided Stades;
You mustn't put fruit in your meat - ya
Gonna ruin zat pleskavice.
Viz turnip peel and gelatine,
Ve'll make America grate lard again!
Trotters, tripe, will be your hrano -
And go easy on that oregano!
The strongest taste of any fare
Should not exceed Ptuj's air!"
Naturally to make the topic as dull as possible, the Slovenian Tourist Board convened a multidisciplinary committee on "The Strategic Development of Slovenian Gastronomy" (see waffle) which after dividing up the boringness into the inevitable 23 gastronomic regional categories has cooked up - instead of something tasty - 269 pages of comparisons and statistics trying to find out what the foreigner "means" with his interest in food, solemnly observing that in Slovenia:
"The presence of hedonism in eating is not as high as is observed in other cultures"
...and explains there is no history of enjoying food as...
"The culture of eating in accommodation establishments in Slovenia does not appear to favour the development of Slovenian gastronomy."
The ten years since this have offered little hint of a gastronomic revolution - while the report does not mention smoking once.
Rather, by way of a solution, many of the committee members' methods and recommendations focussed on the type of research which would require a lot of trips abroad.

Logos: skincare, jewellery, jeans.
Appointees to X-Factor panels
And cookery and fashion channels
Promoted haggis: every putz
Wore fashion kilt, dunked ginger nuts.
"Of frijoles and deeez marinades
We have no need Unided Stades;
You mustn't put fruit in your meat - ya
Gonna ruin zat pleskavice.
Viz turnip peel and gelatine,
Ve'll make America grate lard again!
Trotters, tripe, will be your hrano -
And go easy on that oregano!
The strongest taste of any fare
Should not exceed Ptuj's air!"
Naturally to make the topic as dull as possible, the Slovenian Tourist Board convened a multidisciplinary committee on "The Strategic Development of Slovenian Gastronomy" (see waffle) which after dividing up the boringness into the inevitable 23 gastronomic regional categories has cooked up - instead of something tasty - 269 pages of comparisons and statistics trying to find out what the foreigner "means" with his interest in food, solemnly observing that in Slovenia:
"The presence of hedonism in eating is not as high as is observed in other cultures"
...and explains there is no history of enjoying food as...
"The culture of eating in accommodation establishments in Slovenia does not appear to favour the development of Slovenian gastronomy."
The ten years since this have offered little hint of a gastronomic revolution - while the report does not mention smoking once.
Rather, by way of a solution, many of the committee members' methods and recommendations focussed on the type of research which would require a lot of trips abroad.

down with this sort of thing
CRACKDOWN ON UNI ENGLISH
Altered education laws proposing allowing English-only lecture courses in Slovenian universities have been spat out by the Parliamentary Committee on Education, Science, Sports and Yoof.
The continuing paranoid siege follows musical laws prescribing Slovene minima for radio playlists, and insistence on Slovenian lyrics for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Attempts to free up communication on the latest ideas about electric kettles, custard, lung cancer, and particle physics in the higher education system were met with reserve and indignation.
The Rector of the University of Ljub City waded in to explain that many who had gone on some kind of school trip abroad as middle school students were those who later fled Slovenia for good at the earliest opportunity.
The party of Janšaria Law's former interior minister's view was that Slovenia speaks Slovenian, which is also called Slovene.
However good you are, English is no use if your mates are around as they will suspect you are getting uppity.
http://www.dostop.si/Novica.aspx?ID=7143
Although any teenager could name topics impossible to study in Slovene alone, the Committee found itself pressured to instead expand its native language base in education by a powerful combined lobby of academic Slavic boffins and right-wing retards.
After a year of debate, it decided to continue with this somewhat pointless speech impediment via an amendment to the amendment which proposed loosening of rules preventing course availability in foreign languages alone, covering such Slovenian subjects as biznis, marketing, turizem, filozofija and inĹľeniring.
However students who are too brainy, and pass their exams early, will no longer be deprived of health insurance, food, accommodation and the student status required to work in a bar for the rest of the year as a result, potentially threatening neoliberal incomes from long-winded fat-chewing and sending you to the other office - www.nyjets.si
Putting a positive spin on her defeat at pro-educational education lawmaking, science-education-sporty-yoof minister BrenÄŤiÄŤ claimed the outcome would "unify" the profession, according to Google Translate. By slowing things down in as many ways as possible, presumably.
For instance, foreign students wishing to study in Slovenia would still need to learn Slovene if no English-language course was available and after a few stiff drinks should go immediately to www.a2z.si for further advice.

absurd economic dogmas having their day
WHO'S NEOLIBERAL IN SLOVENIA - AND WHO'S NOT
Head of Tourism in Slovenia - employee, not neoliberal. Aims: to lend authority to claims of environmental sustainability based on the colour of vegetation: https://is.gd/1KL92f
Head of Tourism in Ptuj - self-employed contractor, neoliberal. Aims: the same as above; to shunt visitors in the direction of her brother's wine outlets in the guise of a public service; avoid mentioning aggressive drunks, hate campaigns, grumpy poor people, or the green destination's grim routine of chicken factory rendering smells; dangle a few crumbs in the direction of oblivion-supportive artists to keep 'em in line; impede rivals and outsiders. https://is.gd/9BGuzd
Mayors are not self-employed and therefore not neoliberal. Aims: to support enough rich families to get re-elected, e.g. by paying ten grand a month to the above: https://is.gd/PMEqFl
Dustmen are un-neoliberally employed by neoliberal-style private companies. Aims: to start their own private, cheaper, greener rubbish collection services (according to neoliberal economic theories).
Counting foreigners is a national function, not neoliberal. Aims: make sure as many leave as arrive, after giving them a hard time in revenge for the Hapsburgs and extracting all of their money. www.aaa.si
Running day centres whence non-neoliberal employment offices can consign unemployed yoof caused by neoliberal policies is private business, and neoliberal. Aims: to pocket a big wedge; help pay for their estate agency premises while things are a bit quiet; wait forever for someone to do them a legible English web page who is related to them: https://is.gd/5gypa3
Selling the extra health insurance you may need but can't afford is the job of oligarchs of the common-or-garden chicken factory and bankrupt bank variety, among others, and neoliberal. Aims: pay out as little in healthcare costs as possible as you impress the bitches by driving around in a new Audi with a big fat stupid face.

CUT-AND-PASTE SLOVENGREENWASH TO CONTINUE
Slovenia's Tourism Board stumbles at the first long word...extited.
Perhaps this refers to the milking to exhaustion of its largely self-awarded green credentials - obtained off the shelf at a reasonable price and meaningless of course.
Gorged on sustainable caviar, Ljub City's terylene-clad tourististas have been drilled in their seminars to keep repeating this green thing - it's what today's modern ABC1 foreigner wants to hear.
Consider how credible this claim might be in a country that outsmokes and outdrinks nearly all of Europe.
Meanwhile the tourism troops on the ground who have to actually face the enemy can merely point to the nearest grass and trees. It is a cheap trick any thick hick can pull off. And completely litigation-proof!
Ptuj is not such a green destination. We've gone for more of a grey-brown flavour. To join in the recycling simply step outside and breathe. www.ptuj.co.uk
Research proves that over 50% of our green wines contain residues from no more than two pesticides. Give our 1999 Roundup Rizling or refreshing Boscalid Nouveau a try!
You'll soon be too hammered to give a fuck. With sex education in Slovenia apparently something of a guessing game, that's probably just as well, and good for the economy.
https://is.gd/tF2SXu
The best bit is that your hosts will see absolutely no connection whatsoever between their green-ness and your interest in what you want to eat, drink, or breathe, being chiefly nicotine devotees and hobbyist alcoholics who have merely muddled up market research and their personal fascination with losing control of various parts of their anatomy.
https://is.gd/pnCEUS
With no major air cleanup or Slovenglish engineering contracts in sight, or indication that ga. Pak knows her As from her LBO, the known similarities of English and Dutch suffice to prove that square-vadge Slovenia wrote this environmentally unconscious hagiography themselves, and not the Dutch owners of the site:, e.g.:
"The emphasis in her work was on the marketing of Thermal Spa Rogaška and tourism products for foreign markets and the organisation of the communication campaigns."
I am being pedantic, of course.

Accusation: Ljub City Mayor Zoki's
Made appointment conjoined with his cock. His
Interest in pharmacy?
The condoms were free.
That a team's listening in's no big shock - jeez!
If found guilty of sex AND giving someone a job, under Slovenian law Mayor Janković has to do four years' bird.
Except for four months when Zoran nearly became PM, he has been sitting as the capital's Mayor since 2006. In a pharmaceutically profitable spin-off from Slovenia's alcoholic industry, his appointee Katarina Ravnikar is an expert on hemorrhoids. https://www.lekarna24ur.com/si/aktualno/farmacevti-za-vas/clanek/hemoroidi-1
Janković has not done a tweet since 2014.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
A quick check of Ptuj's glossy trilingual brochure for the tourist season reveals a bothersome read, replete with Neanderthal missing articles, vectorless anti-sentences, plus the usual Slovenglish specialities such as watered-down blandness, have-to-write-more-than-I-was-told-to-say, and hapless, eye-bulging, customer-scarers.
However its editors, native speakers of the various agglutinated, highly-inflected, unromantic Slovene dialects, did better than Lincolnshire County Council whose "Literature Newsletter" I analysed in 2006.
This big obÄŤina in a part of England with fluoridated people managed over 100 mistakes in their own language, in only four pages.
Besides increasing Pb uptake, fluoride itself has a dubious effect on the developing brain, although they don't seem to have twigged in Lincolnshire yet. https://www.flickr.com/photos/luqi/5193600401/
Sometimes it takes some groups a while to catch up and 70 years after the first artificially fluoridated Americans were born to the PR muzak of Edward L Bernays, they now claim to have a plan to find out what fluoride does to the rest of you https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/bsc/2015/december/meetingmaterial/fluoride_508.pdf
Not doing any such thing prior to fluoridating themselves suggests the damn yankees were already dumb enough in 1945. Later western leaders were more cautious www.nfl.si/merron.htm
I don't know if this research by this organisation connected with fluoridation could possibly go wrong and make a scientific discovery against fluoride. What a lawsuit that could turn out to be! I mean, just look at these troublemakers! http://image.slidesharecdn.com/sachin2-140906043528-phpapp02/95/seminar-on-endemic-flurosis-11-638.jpg?cb=1409978304
The effects on IQ are obvious enough to me from this comparison of language abilities. Language acquisition, like odontogenesis and being fluoridated by the council, does begin in early pregnancy. The presumably unfluoridated Ptuj folks' summer brochure has more pages than Lincolnshire's newsletter, and 10,000 copies were produced at no small expense.
Despite breathing chicken gluck on an almost daily basis, rampant regional historic pesticides and mercury and who knows what else, on top of hundreds of generations of fetal alcohol and millions of hours of industrial-scale tobacco exposure, in a quick scan I was able to find only 93 English errors in Ptuj's brochure. Bravo Slovenia and ObÄŤina Ptuj! You have beaten the Brits at their own lingo.
This proves Britain's current all-time low in adult smokers of 16.9% has failed to maintain optimal tobacco levels. Tobacco-deficiency has led to a loss of concentration, as the fluoride story shows.
Steps will be taken across the UK to raise dense fag smoke to optimal levels using public chimneys, especially in more upmarket, better-educated areas where - like fluoridation - nicotine and tars are most certain to be missing.
The existing Woodbine Stack at Smoke-on-Trent will be joined by a giant six-superchimney array replacing Great Missenden, which will now be known simply as No. 6. And as Brexit Britain throws off the shackles of European directives, the DCameron Blackdeath Superking Megapuffer will burn gigatonnes of east European dog-ends night and day to get residents addicted again in the former PM's Oxfordshire constituency.

competitive womanhood
MISSING WORLD
Here's the selection for Best Yugobitch 1966, including the ultimate Miss World entrant Nikica Marinović, the first Commie-bloc and best-placed-ever Yugoslavian representative.
Somehow she was prevented from winning Miss World because she turned down the prize (yes, I know!) which was a trip to Vietnam to entertain the troops.
Yeah, you've seen that scene in Apocalypse Now. And just to be clear how twisted such machinations must be, Miss World is a 1951 British invention of Eric Morley of the Mecca organisation - not American - and the UK wasn't in that war. It's all a fix. Do as yer told, luv.
However, like Cassius Clay, she refused to go to Nam and pucker lips - saying Yugoslavia disapproved of the war. Thus proving she was no bimbo and that Tito would not bow to Mecca, with its bingo and its www.jim.si.
And what kind of a booby prize is a trip to a war zone anyhow? The sort that turns up when it becomes obvious Yugoslavia's going to win Miss World of course!
From the sound of things Nikica would have been thrilled to win a week at Butlins. Either way, it was a Yugo no go. So Miss India won it instead, despite not being as good.
Nikica's entry was fortuitous, unplanned. During the national heats Yugoslavian officials, after what they judged a lacklustre volunteer intake, had picked her up whilst cruising some college. She was a poor girl who couldn't even do makeup, but who did have access to lots of fish.
The photogenic but shy and reluctant pageanteer then stunned Hollywood by turning down offers of a Hollywood film career, flatly telling de Laurentiis she couldn't act.
Unfortunately Nikica Marinović committed suicide in 2008. Time will tell how she compares for integrity and ambition with Melania Trump. As if we didn't already know.
Here she is on the road to Mecca.

inspirational duet
KODELA MELANIA SLOVENIA MANTRA MANIA
In the steely manner of a stern but occasionally merciful interplanetary android ruler, Melania brainwashes her fellow-Americans about her citizenship in a dome on Slovenia's US-based mother ship The Cleveland.
In the postwar sci-fi era entities from planet Slovenia landed in Ohio, and began a breeding program impossible to undertake in their cramped homeland.
Eventually the genetic basis of the territory they occupied cleaved away. The Slovenians expand their population by cleavage, but only when a spare room becomes available.
Thus in Ohio a super-race was begun - and thinking themselves pretty smart Cleveland was born (sounds like Kleverland in Slovene - suck that Jacko).
Now the Queen has flown into the centre of the nest.
Due to a feww quiet days on the Ptuj weather front, PPM Labs has been able to put aside its usual business of creating synesthesic representations of it to model Her inspiring plans concerning Slovenia's takeover first of America then, disguised as America, the rest of the world.
Using a high-distortion sentimental algorithm PPM Labs was able to mash up the platitudes with three of Kodelaism's best-loved anthems from the home planet into the platinum Slovenioid smash of the decade.
The marriage of Melania and Samo unites the maniacal wisdom of two of the greatest messengers of a post-ironic age in an idiotological tour de farce, in which science fact meets irrational faction, cerebral erection meets celebrity election: the lyrics of a balloteering robot in orbit, swinging eccentrically to the balladeering of a synchronous dead gravity as sublime as the celestial clockweights infused with the green genes of the galaxies.
Anyway, load these two and play them simultaneously ...and the future for mankind will become clear.

UKIP AND AWAY!
NARROW VICTORY DESTINATIONS
Is the tiny-minded xenophobic isolationism of Britain's Brexit referendum voters threatening your business? Would you sooner starve than eat foreign foods such as the potato? Slovenia has the destination for you!
Dragi ustanavljanjem podjetij, ostanite mirni in se premakniti na Ptuju says the Slovenian equivalent of this German advert visible in London, which is written on a piece of A4 on a plumbers' van driving between Markovci and Stojnci. It is in black and white.
Only Italy, Germany and China send more tourists to Ljub City than the UK. https://www.visitljubljana.com/assets/Dokumenti-PDF/Ljubljana-Turizem-v-stevilkah-A5.pdf
UK tourists stay longer than average - over two days! What's wrong with them? Why can't they be more average?
Inexplicably, visitors flying into Slovenia prefer the culture, sophistication, dancing and contemporary sexual mores of the capital to the stuffy medieval atmosphere of Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest town.
But Ljub City is prone to flooding due to its large swamp of gays. http://metro.co.uk/2015/12/08/ukip-candidate-has-a-theory-about-what-caused-storm-desmond-and-this-time-its-not-gay-marriage-5551958/
And there are also foreigners there. So we just don't get what is stopping Vote Leavers coming to Ptuj for the suspicious narrow-minded holiday of a lifetime.
Whether you are migrating for economic reasons or just prefer things the way they were before, everything is being done to make Ukippers/Leavers feel welcome in Ptuj.
Relax in an atmosphere completely free from environmental regulations and enjoy our Town Smell (weather conditions permitting - go to https://is.gd/EVJtN6 for events).
As a fully-qualified immigrant you can enjoy regular political incorrectness from lary drunk racists-who-aren't-racists, meet resentful smokers, scheming thugs, pointless misdirection, lying athletic lunatics, twisted vote-hoovering clero-nationalist ideologies, and incipient self-justifying violence in every social, business, and political situation.
In Ptuj, the typical anti-European Brit will find a true home from home. What more does this average 52% majority of people from the UK want?
Relax while our well-organised team exploits its own inability to teach its version of the secret language as a threadbare excuse to incite an unreasonable, impecunious mob against you. www.a2z.si.
Hate foreign food and missing the www.television.si? Thanks to EU freedom of movement foreigners are free to leave our country anytime at our nearby www.mariborairport.si. Don't forget to bring your own plane!
And, of course, you can expect a lot of smiles! We like to motivate our compulsory DIY language students with a mixture of schtick and caret.
Ljubljana is even more jealous of us in www.ptuj.co.uk now we have the new MacDonalds monument - and after consulting an orange-coloured travel agent in Essex I can confirm that the eastern half of Slovenia is depicted in UK tourist brochures as a featureless terra incognita, so you'll just blend right in!
Ali je turizem in neposredne tuje naložbe, problem v Sloveniji je enak. Kako ste dobili vse dobre stvari, ki prihajajo iz tujcev, ne da bi tujci, ki prihajajo in uničuje našo nacionalno kulturo?
Don't forget there's a house up for grabs for just 1000 euros in a fantastic two-for-one offer at www.mavs.si which the locals appear not to understand. In kako vam je všeč negotovost teh možnih davkov? https://is.gd/Qb99KT

freight in a state
RAILWAY, PORT, GRINDS TO HALT
Slovenia's only serious docks at Koper (Capodistria) and surrounding railways are all bolloxed up, with protesting workers demanding to meet Emperor Miro, who has refused the ultimatum.
The boutique nation is looking for railway experts to sort out whatever it is they are bickering about now. They think the people in charge are clueless twats who are refusing to make them richer and richer forever.
They don't seem to have much luck with it. Could any railway experts from Lincoln possibly get in touch and sort it out, before Brexiting and the teaching of Slomerican English in Slovenian universities makes it too hard to understand what they are saying.

battle of the british chavs and the chav-nots
UNOFFICIAL ADVICE FOR TRAVELLERS
Family and friends of Slovenians in the UK - especially those venturing west of Egham or north of Biggleswade - need to be aware of the possibility of attacks on non-UK nationals and people who resemble these.
In a reported five-fold explosion of incidents of xenophobic hatred encouraged by a poster contrasting refugees with the green fields of Slovenia, some of the 52% who voted to flee the EU actually think they have just voted for all foreign, foreign-looking, or foreign-sounding people to leave "Britain".
Don't bother arguing for a strict definition. Really, anyone could qualify given the right circumstances, such as going out in public, or on the internet.
A mini-Kristallnacht is already under steam. It will gather pace as our football ambassadors recover from a bellyful of foreign-ness in France only to find examples of these categories still going about their business everywhere - as though control hadn't been taken, at all.
Will Boris be sending the troops into (the newly American-renamed) Edinburg in an Anschluss type move? Could Slovenia possibly resell all that fencing to patch up the missing bits of Emperor Hadrian's border control facility?
Time will reveal the Brexiteers' master plan - which basically remains saying anything calculated to add votes, regardless of how ignorant or downright wicked their owners happen to be.
This is how the "socialist" party of equality - among others - became a priesthood of Marie Antoinettes ...supported by a mass of lary marionettes.

"The first thing that happened, the union officials came to us, and told us we had to go back to work, that we were violating an agreement. We said to hell with the agreement, we're gonna stay out on strike until we get our demands. Well then the politicians began visiting us and putting pressure on us. Then the parish priest. Well finally, the coal company did agree to meet with us, and they agreed to raise the hourly pay from six and a fraction cents to eight cents an hour...I learned that the politicians worked with the coal companies, I found out that the union officials were working with the coal companies, I also found out that the catholic hierarchy was working with the coal officials...here was a combination of the whole thing, see, that you had to bump up against the whole combination of them."

tv crimes
Mr Hojs has apparently won his battle not to pay a TV licence, because he doesn't want to look at RTV. And indeed this is something nobody should be forced to do.
I suggest he watches www.television.si instead.
Slovenia has had since 1992 until 28th April 2016 to pay for its licence for this television.
But - and I'm not saying Slovenia is a stubborn, introverted country or anything like that - it's televizija, the way they stare at it. Someone else got that.
Slovenia will probably get all jealous now and react with some rumours about viruses in my www.television.si. Fortunately this report attests that Slovenia's domain names are among the safest in the world!

I'LL BE DEAD ANYWAY
Meanwhile the live poet's society welcomes intelligent investors to www.solarpanel.si
How do I afford a solar panel? First thing we need is to get the capitalist pricing system out of the way.
Failure to price in the cost of the world will mean longer sea journeys for economic migrants.
And even with this map the world economic pricing system doesn't factor in the cost of migrants simply drowning in a field full of cauliflowers near Boston -for instance - after surviving a hazardous journey.
Who will pick the vegetables then? Some kind of salt-water rice presumably.

PROFITS RISE AS €1.44bn NEXT-GEN GENERATOR SWITCHES ITSELF OFF
Mistakenly-constructed coal-fired power station TEĹ 6 shut itself down at 2142 on Sunday, after wires connecting sensors for checking hotness and vibes were cut.
Electricity union members had been told they'd be sacked if they tried to reduce output so the whole thing's gone off now instead. The potential lost generation capacity amounts to 600 MWe.
In October 2006 the TEĹ 6 plan was to cost 602m euros, but has so far cost 1.44bn euros.
TEĹ 6 loses money on every watt produced. Sunday's so-called criminal damage actually increases the company's profitability. Criminal damage like this reduces emissions by about 8 ktCO2eq/day.
But management immediately emptied TEĹ 6's ash tray and started looking around for some newspapers and sticks to get it going again.

Thurs 12 May 1500 hrs Ptuj Castle
MO Ptuj Fr. Jimmy Saveloj Memorial Boxing Club
in conjunction with
Ronski and Redgski Promotions
presents:
SHOWDOWN!!! --- HOTTEST GRUDGE MATCH
CRAFTERNOON PUNCH-UP
On the occasion of his official appearance at the 45th anniversary of the Ptuj Chamber of Crafts, World (Ptuj Smelly Belt) title-holder Sonny Boy Miran "The Mayor" SenÄŤar was met in the parking arena of Ptuj Castle for a bare-knuckle confrontation with challenger Legal Igor "The Maniac" Majnik, Liberal Democrat champion lawyer under the old system.
After police were called in to break it up and a short outpatients visit, medics gave SenÄŤar the all-clear and he was able to continue Mayoring in a dignified manner.
Point scoring has begun and the judges will be looking for clean punching, effective aggressiveness, dominance of the car park, men going ooof!, and legal defensive skills.
Unfortunately technical difficulties at www.television.si prevent me bringing you coverage of this middle-aged bout for fans of public servant box action. While we look into it here's a cartoon.
other sports journalism news...
Excited Ptuj documentary makers got out cameras both still and video to capture a glimpse of a yard sale in Ptuj at the weekend. Folks are a little understimulated around here!

lgbt
DENARI-LEMMA
Yugoslovenians live in a constant state of tension, torn between Nostalgia and the Latest Great Big Thing.
A reporter from people's tabloid Slovenske Novice went to Hrastnik because Melania Trump's half brother lives there. This is the LGBT issue for Slovenia as they see it.
As a result of Hrastnik's moment in the spotlight, a reader was able to send in this photo to remind us that the past is alive and well there - as supermarket produce is still priced in tolars, the feelgood currency which ceased operation after 15 years in Slovenia on 1 January 2007.
Pegged since their birth and until forever at 239.640 to the euro, your tolars can buy these bananas at the equivalent of just 29 eurocents per kilo, showing that life in Yugonostalgialand continues at much cheaper rates.
The arithmetically unnecessary zero in 239.640 - always included in Slovenia - probably did more to stabilise the economy in the nineties than anything else, demonstrating as it did certainty if nothing else.
Those who did not turn in their old banknotes would find a shopping trip to Hrastnik well worthwhile. Don't forget your passport and euros for bribes. Anyone interested in exporting bananas from Hrastnik please contact Melania's half brother who knows them at the shop.

DENARI-LEMMA
Yugoslovenians live in a constant state of tension, torn between Nostalgia and the Latest Great Big Thing.
A reporter from people's tabloid Slovenske Novice went to Hrastnik because Melania Trump's half brother lives there. This is the LGBT issue for Slovenia as they see it.
As a result of Hrastnik's moment in the spotlight, a reader was able to send in this photo to remind us that the past is alive and well there - as supermarket produce is still priced in tolars, the feelgood currency which ceased operation after 15 years in Slovenia on 1 January 2007.

tourism bounces back
FREE HOLIDAY SOLUTIONS FOR SLOVENIANS
I just spotted an amazing bargain in Slovenian convenience store Mercator.
Three sponge scourers, normal price €2.80, were only €1.40.
Meanwhile in any Tesco Superstore such as the one 13 minutes' drive from Stansted Airport you can buy 20 for two euros.
http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/poundland-price-comparison/Cleaning_Accessories/Spontex_Sponge_Scourers_20.html?TrackingCode=152.T30LyLG3LkqdKmMc8N_uzA
Cost increase thanks to award-winning Slovenian Finance Minister Mramor
(best possible case): 467%
(vs. regular price): 934%
So to cover your €130 round-trip air fare to the UK you only need to bring back (vs Slovenian sale price) €130/(€0.47 - €0.10) = 351 dish scourers.
Comparing Tesco to the regular Slovenian price (and I'm sure you can pay more) you only need to bring back 156 scourers.
Slovenian economists have fixed stuff for Slovenian holidaymakers so well, that they only need to bring back eight packs, to recoup their air fare to England and back.
Weight won't be a problem, and should you be the unlucky type they might even come in handy on the way, as Eddie Izzard sort of demonstrates here.
L-plates, highly valued here on the Slovenia Islands, are another possibility.

Everything's pointing towards hen parties with a housework theme.

peak routine
MONOTONOUS AGE IS OVER
Except for bureaucrats and mine-dewatering engineers, comes the welcome news that routine is on the way out.
Since 1987, use of the term in English has been plunging, and has already dropped back to 1941 levels.
The demise of routine is correlated with a rise in the use of the word inspiration. Who'd have guessed it?
Inspiration is now poised to overtake routine for the first time since the mid-1930s.
http://is.gd/zrB0yl
1987's Peak Routine and the dawn of this conceptual shift in the meaning of life coincided with a stock market crash and the creation of UUNET.
Meanwhile in Yugoslavia, a truck driver who had killed his colleague, colleague's wife and two infants to avoid repaying loans (in Deutschmarks) became the last person executed there.
Smoking 1987 top ten UK hits marking Peak Routine included Rick Astley's paen to continuity Never Going To Give You Up, Starship's insistence that Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now, Mel and Kim's (admission that they were never gonna be) Respectable, and Whitney's opt-out announcement, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

trouble at the old mine
WOMEN WHO DO NOT OBEY MEN, IT IS NECESSARY TO SUBMIT, SAYS CULTURE MINISTER*
Shaken and ready to stir things up after an audience with Emperor Miro, Culture Minister Julijana Bizjak Mlakar isn't best pleased with his insistence that she be wholly responsible for Idrija's neurotoxic and mutagenic tourist attraction - a leaky old mercury mine.
A distraught ga. Mlakar warned of the (continuing) dangers to the public and the environment, as the Culture Ministry was not oriented to maintaining disused mercury mines, which is mainly a culture of water pumping and waste management. And it was written in the time of Alenka The Legs, and also spracht Miro, that mining technology and geological sciences are a culture issue in this case.
shaft
For Miro, forced to co-work with the Party of The Old People of Prince Karl, her refusal to pick up a pickaxe to join in plundering what's left of the culture budget for Hg mine rehab is just the final proof of Ms Mlakar's unculturedness.
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10653-011-9410-6#page-1
Mercury contamination from Idrija, the world's all-time second largest mercury mine by product, stretches all the way to the Gulf of Trieste, where it swirls around, some of it organic, threatening a mini-Minamata.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamata_disease
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12663193
Clearly management of this UNESCO world heritage site has implications for areas far beyond the scope of its immediate location, such as the ability to walk straight.
Little encourages that more in Slovenia than foreign organisations waving free money. If this means hydrologists dressing up as museum attendants, eey, senor, eet's-a no a problem.
local veg
I would give the local veg a miss. But if grim medieval metallurgical progress is your thing there's plenty to go at. And we know our priorities. The Idrija Mine Museum is still managed by the Mercury Mine Idrija company (in liquidation).
http://www.culture.si/en/Idrija_Municipal_Museum
I have a very nice translation of Slovenia's Mining Act, into English, which I was never paid for, but I expect the PM already knows about the rules governing mine-owners' responsibilities concerning rehabilitation and the kind of qualified personnel you must have to look after used-up mines, even if that needs to go on forever as would appear to be the case if Idrija's is an item of cultural heritage.
It doesn't sound like she's getting much sense from the young Slovenians. So if that popular-language version would help the Culture Minister with her claim, could she just get Ms Cooper - whose own limited mining experience led her to suggest using of a lot of boars, as I recall - to settle up the bill and try to explain about the hacked emails.
It's been a few years now but apparently people are not very happy with the way things are run so mining laws, like the employment ones, may not apply if the boss doesn't like them, and I never heard any more from the so-called Work Inspectorate. www.aaa.si/q
Julijana protests a lack of "professional, staff, supervisory and financial conditions" for the kulturniki to go smurfing. She would look daft in a yellow hard hat. Her ally Prince Karl tried to smooth things over, but to no avail. Meanwhile Idrija's Mayor just wants things looking after, and doesn't care which Ministry's budget the money comes from, as long as it does.
If it doesn't, and damage results, his district (and probably a few others, if they can coordinate their fingers) will simply file a criminal complaint against Emperor Miro or whomever can be held accountable.
But how could cultural mercury damage be distinguished from industrial mercury damage, from centuries of it pancaking onto the landscape and riverbeds? If it cannot, how could the Mayor prove his damage?
How could anyone? Mercury was extracted at Idrija from the 1490s until 1995. Mercury in urban road dust and streams was first measured in Idrija in 2013.

dan 3994 na planet slojezika
My comprehension of spoken Greenslovene (see map) is nowhere near as good as my understanding of the excellent Michelle Gomez in this, without the subtitles.
This results in a lot of squinting and stressful concentration from time to time.
The main problem can be described as keeping up, while matching known words or phrases from Standard Slovenske Novice Slovene with the zlogovna prozodija (syllabic prosody) of conversational use. Even Mary QoS displays a decidedly word-based prosody, as in English. In Slovenia it is very difficult to hear and isolate word units, not least among the Greenslovene speakers - who nevertheless say their neighbours the Yellowslovene speakers to the north-east are the worst.
Meanwhile the natives are typically unlikely to expect an adult with a childlike concept of sentence formation, and either press on at the normal speed - or switch to another language.
But there is still hope for a language tourism visitor boom if there is perhaps a village whose vocabulary, grammar, and pronounciation revolve unsteadily around Standard Slovenske Novice Slovene, but where everyone is just really, really, slow...and says everything quite clearly, one word at a time...Is there somewhere with a dialect like that?

NAVEL MANOEUVRES
A better article from Slonnect, which owns up to a lot as well as providing some non-local facts, for a change.
Dialects are of only tangential relevance to the Slovenians' refusal to teach their language to us.
The main reasons are that they are too lazy and don't really know how to approach it. Or why...as success will deprive them of exclusive control over their most potent symbol which - as it now turns out - doesn't exist.
For the Slovenians - although teachers do go from one part of the country to another sometimes - are not often very good at Standard Slovene. In Slovenia, low scores at Standard Slovene are routine.
Natives have competing ways of explaining it all to us, from the popular Where-Are-You-From?-Pivo-Pepelnik-Pizda-Complete-Vocabulary Method, to the How-Long-Are-You-In-Slovenia-How-Come-You-Don't-Learn-Slovene Heavy Staring Technique.
Slovenia's top educationalists' explanations of its grammar are usually in Slovene, to instruct natives trying to grapple with such matters.
The gradient of a Slovenian learning English begins with a confrontation with illogical spelling - but is basically a downhill ride of forgetting about case and gender endings.
But an anglophone learning a European language without reference to grammar is inconceivable, due to the demands of inflection.
That's why our structural analysis approaches to learning the highly-inflected language Slovene quickly overwhelm the locals - for whom inflection and learning a widely-used language are just "normal" - from the frighteningly precise Chinese Anglo-French Canadian attack of https://annainslovenia.wordpress.com/2016/04/08/second-sklon-genitive/ to my own fuckwittedly frank fact-fest How To Speak Slovenijese www.a2z.si/dear
With its ten year accumulation of belated language revelations - extracted at 1000th the speed of treacle from the experts themselves right here in Ptuj, Slovenia's home of linguistic excellence - this one page is all you need and will save you hundreds of hours in the pub watching the locals entertain themselves with your reflection of their disorganised, mean-minded village idiocy. Which is authority-led.
chacun à son goût
These dialects on the map must be democratically equal in status, and so too the non-methods of not imparting "the" language that they uninspire.
But as the historical evolutionary trend in language is to leave behind the highly-inflected and go towards uninflected, these areas with no neuter tense or those who use male forms for females ought to be the pioneers to be emulated - if you plan to do any evolving.
I wish I had chosen one of these more go-ahead dialect zones. How many generations must pass before we see the back of grammatically mummified organisms as beautiful as marketingom?
http://www.startupmaribor.si/sl-si/dogodek/85/start-up-m-sli-s-startup-marketingom-nad-ustaljene-prakse-
Like roadmenders, there is a high ratio of watchers to actors in language modulation, and most observers are waiting to see which way things go. Ali bo Tanja sčasoma našla na salonu vajazzlinganju? Only time will tell.
"Standard" Slovene can only result from the slow distillation of local intermingling, and this, as the article suggests, is a work likely to remain in progress for centuries at least.
Standard Slovene, then, is the natural language of nobody: a sort of mini-Esperanto.

It makes sense to me. What would you rather do with a Mac? Play with one in a nice warm office? Or wear one to trudge round a muddy hole with a theodolite?

Virtual city facilities like these Maribor Art Galleries prevent noisy construction sites, save on building and running costs, and art, and you can have as many as you want in the one space you would have wasted on a real building - if only you hadn't spent all the money on architectural competitions.
It makes sense to me. What would you rather do with a Mac? Play with one in a nice warm office? Or wear one to trudge round a muddy hole with a theodolite?

world waiter day
The three artificial lakes of the Velenje coalmine.
Škalsko, Velenjsko, and Šoštanjsko which is the deepest Slovenian lake, with a depth of around 90 m together covered 200 ha and contained 46 million m3 of water in 2005.
Due to mining subsidence the terrain had dropped up to 100 metres in places, including the lakes, and by a volume of approximately 140 million m3, according to a 2012 report.
It would continue to do so for a further 40 million m3 even if mining were to cease immediately. It didn't!

REMINDERS OF THE DAY
The UN: water means jobs.
Greenpeace: coal-fired electricity uses up loads of water.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/22/world-water-day-coal-plants-use-as-much-water-as-1-billion-people-and-its-set-to-double
The International Energy Agency: solar PV and wind do not create significant water stress, in contrast to carbon capture, and improved cooling systems for fossil and nuclear fuel generating sites, which do.
There is also the rather unhip news that biofuel production uses more water than natural gas drilling (Table 17.3).
http://www.worldenergyoutlook.org/media/weowebsite/2012/WEO_2012_Water_Excerpt.pdf
The European Commission: Slovenia is an economic, business and financial dead man. But it's doing ok at renewables. They think it better not to mention the TEĹ 6 carbon-capturing money hole though.
Apparently the money "isn't flowing to the right ends".
https://plus.google.com/+SVLOZASLOVENIJONOVAGORICA8888/posts/RnnMJz4tGCC
Finally the Slovenia Times reminds us that Dušan Mramor is in London to receive The Banker magazine's award in a Crufts-type contest for best European finance minister of the year. Sorry George!

Meanwhile in Ptuj it has been another quiet day for www.agua.si and www.solarpanel.si and there are no plans to pay or insure the workers www.aaa.si/q

ptuj weather miracle
SMELL COULD MEAN VISION, BLESSING
Ptuj is waiting with bated breath for a religious coming.
Noting the first sunny days of the year have been greeted by a steady hum of boiled-up chicken factory waste, Ptuj weather sages are pointing to the destiny of Joan of Arc. The Vatican control room is being put on red alert.
In her biography of J-d'Arc Laura Mirabal describes how, when 13, Jehanne was first tipped off about her upcoming mission against the English by Saint Michael, an archangel siding with the French nationalists.
Mike's appearance was accompanied by a special aroma.
Well it's Ptuj. Need I say more? In case the answer is yes, www.ptuj.co.uk
With their solid Slovenian historical provenance and range of magical abilities dating back to antiquity, is it really a coincidence that the twin miracles of www.jesus.si and www.maria.si have materialised in Slovenia - and right here in the specially aromatic oldest town of Ptuj...? That's some coincidence! And why trash a perfectly good omen?
Of course an important part of the legal proof against Joda was that her visions and voices didn't speak English and this is exactly the sort of criterion which is very important to Slovene national catholic aspirations. And sure enough, it's those damned immigrants again!
Jesus and Mary's connection to this area of present-day Slovenia dates back as far as anyone in the area can remember - and as a matter of historical fact it could even be considerably longer ago than last weekend.
Saints alive! If today's airborne visitation from Perutnina isn't a sign from Big G that Slovenia is about to experience a Counter-Counter-Reformation then superstition just ain't what it used to be.

MEGLATHLON RALLY TACTICS (MISTY CONDITIONS):
STOP. GET OUT. LEG IT. HEAD FOR THE HILLS!
Our latest pile-up made it to video. In Slovenia the average driver knows what to expect from the average driver...as, with fine comedy timing, this clip reveals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoR29HrbOrQ
Here, fogs due to water bodies and topography can be sudden and overwhelming, and a consensus on safe distance and how much to slow down hard to find.
As you are legally required to keep lights on whenever the car is moving - day or night, rain or shine - there is no switching-on moment obliging the idiot behind you to notice he can't see you.
Seeing nothing in front of him can only mean...go as fast as possible.

LINGUISTS DISCOVER SLOVENE ASTONISHMENT GAP
Slovenians who acquired their vocabulary from multibillion-dollar tax experts Google would not find the median price of 640,000 euros for a home in London astonishing.
They simply can't. As according to the search engine behemoth, presenetljivo is not astonishing, but merely surprising.
Whereas osupljivo, which appears to be the nearest relative, on examination turns out to be astounding.
Which is, I hope you would agree, some way beyond astonishing, just as dumbstruck exceeds awestruck.
Between presenetljivo and osupljivo lies a range of shocked surprise, more than mildly disconcerting, yet not so overwhelming, less than paralysing. Of this Slovenia knows nothing?
Then there is zaÄŤuditi, which means "to astonish" in Croatian, but in Slovene predictably morphs into a more reverent "marvel". The bewilderrrnent hinted at by the former is absent in the latter. Of course like all machine interpreters Google Translate cannot be 100% accurate, or someone would have trouble overcharging for software/wetware that works better.
If that someone was me I'd be fine with it. But it isn't. That just leaves me with the frustrating feeling that I ought to have the right to be more astonished than surprised, but less surprised than if I were astounded, without needing to marvel in any way, at London's half million quid property price median for instance.
With a maximum of only two million Slovene experts available, you would think the astonishment gap could be ironed out pretty sharpish. But instead of telling Google where they are going wrong, the experts are apparently relying on foreigners to decide whether they are surprised, marvelling, or astounded - if these are the only choices.
The national view is that non-native speakers should sort out any fiddly misunderstandings, such as these under- and over-statements, between themselves and in the non-Slovenian "outside" world, inhabited by foreigners both in and beyond Slovenia.
Fortunately there is one topic about their language upon which all Slovenes agree: Google Translate is rubbish, they say...and that's the end of that.
And? And nothing. Because it's nothing to do with them, the only Slovenians who exist.
And these include the same people, the only type of Slovenians we meet, who are complaining we do not try, at their language. Astonishing!

at least dee nae haram
One who did make it to Glasgow is Hassan Rouhani. Here he would have witnessed many scenes of utter debauchery - such as these bare-headed hussies dancing with unrelated boys in public. He must have had a haram old time avoiding it all on religious grounds.
You would have thought his days at Caledonian University might have loosened him up a bit as he comes from a village of just a few thousand.
But no, it was only a couple of days and instead of loosening up Hassan went and became the President of Iran.
Rouhani's politco-legal fellow-alumni include angry, mean Gordon Brown. And the only person I ever heard of succeeding getting compensation for a smell in Slovenia, Gregor Virant.

chicken factory smell joins presidential runoff
SEPARATED AT BIRTH
Ptuj: Age of Reason began again:
Wife of new chicken boss, she gan vegan...!
She can't visit - the air
Around there, au contraire,
Is for omnivores, like pigs, and Stygian.
You can just see things are going to be totally different from now on.
Congratulations to g. Ĺ imonka on deposing dr. Glaser - who is stepping down a rung from the top job at environmentally and financially controversial chicken factory Perutnina Ptuj following a police swoop because he does not feel guilty about anything. Really, anything.
Still disappointed are the small shareholders whom Glaser and his former management board associates seemed to try to stiff by selling options to buy PP shares held by a shell company as a critical part of the takeover - owned by Perutnina's management board.
This would effectively have got them 12 times as much for their shares. FinMin said sexy no no no. For this unparalleled gamesmanship the small shareholders want Glaser to go away completely. But he wants paying for that too.
Instead he is staying on to offer his decades of cost-cutting expertise in using Slovenia's oldest town as his personal gut bucket, and keeping inferior foreign tourists at bay by making the town whose name is in his brand stink like an undertaker's jockstrap.
The new guy Tibor's wife is a real-life Sloveni-vegan and clearly a principled woman who would not be able to keep an eye on her husband over here in Ptuj without breathing apparatus.
Karin I can only entreat you to help your three or four fellow-vegans in Ptuj. Why not do like Lysistrata and say nebo until hubby gets PP's meaty molecules out of our nebo?
Then you'll be able to visit lovely Ptuj and breathe uninhibitedly. You simply can't put a price on some things.
Slovenians meekly accept the routine olfactory outrages from the poultry firm's rendering down of its impressive tonnage of bits and pieces. Unfortunately there are now several foreigners living in Ptuj. Now too a forensic link between its smell and the race for the White House has surfaced.
Tibor's missus is an ex of an ex of Melania Knavs, aka Mrs The Donald.
This means there is now a direct chain of bodily fluids connecting Ptuj's chicken factory smell and the botox of the prospective First Lady.

shoplifting secretaries of state
SUCK MY DICHTUNG
ANDREJ Ĺ PENGA
Leading light of the government SMC party in second city Marlboro, Secretary of State to the Interior Ministry with responsibility for Ministry of Defence Intelligence and Security Services in the field of counter-intelligence and security affairs. Arrested for stealing a 40 euro fan gasket from Bauhaus.
Ethical outcome: if Ĺ penga is forced to resign, the Maribor SMC will desert Emperor Miro and his government will fall. Ĺ penga has full support of the government who agree with their Secretary of State that the Bauhaus DIY superstore have got it all wrong...and 40 euros is a ripoff anyway.
JANKO BURGAR
Caught repeatedly stealing pate and biscuits from Mercator.
Ethical outcome: get caught stealing from the shop and you will have to go to court - unless you are a Secretary of State and not the kind of person who would ordinarily do that. If you are, you can just pay for the stuff you lifted and everything will be forgotten.
Burgar is on record apologising about the biscuits and pate. He believes that it was an immature act, which does not affect his role as State Secretary with the Ministry of Public Administration.

what's up in kidriÄŤevo
WHINGERS OF DISCONTENT
Nimby protestors defile a tourist sign with male and female versions of the "Gotof je" slogan, previously successful in ousting Maribor's mayor when there was a protest once before, about speed radar.
This time it is about foreigners coming to stay, with the Interior Minister and her Secretary of State depicted resembling Hindley and Brady.
All we need here is joined up thinking. Military-industrial beauty spot KidriÄŤevo has failed to come to terms with its tyre disposal problem. Whereas some refugees are not who they say they are, or what they ought to be.
Why not set these lost souls to work, including any women and children, fulfilling our Christian duty to God's earth by excavating the remaining shredded-up tyres, that they may discover their true identities in this unwelcoming world.
This will keep their wandering hands busy and their minds free of impure thoughts - at the same time sparing Slovenia some hefty fines from the EU!
Many of the migrants will already be familiar with large quantities of old tyres from the Middle East, or their stay in Greece, and a multicultural workshop could further build upon their successful integration in the town by exploring avenues for recycling tyres into floating bridges, razor-wire-proof clothing, and the like. And they could marry your daughter.
military industrial cornflakes
Like much of Slovene, gotof/gotofa is not a real word, but means something like "finished", "you're done". It stands in interesting grammatical contrast to the imperatives of most western protest cries.
Instead of signifying a demand - resign! - as the desired path to the future, this portrays the proposed demise of the personnel in the past - as an achievement already attained: their joyride on the conveyor belt of the Slovenian politic has juddered to an inevitably abrupt end.
Like chanting cult members, for the anti-migrantniki reputation is repetition. There is no great battle of ideas. The only idea is to keep shouting about this imaginary conclusion until the opponent gets fed up and leaves, taking any ideas with him.
For in this melancholy world view, all the utilitarian decisions and subtle real-world complexities of the situation can somehow be miraculously consigned to the same spacious dustbin as their associated gotof/gotofa personalities, Stalinist purge-stylee.

presidential grill
FAR ON RIGHT 451
It's them writers again, with a headline being considered for entry in the Slovenglish Hall of Fame at www.a2z.si/jungle
They aren't surprised a recent book-burning by depraved Janša supporters wasn't "persecuted" (sic) as this was "believed to be a thing of the past. No law includes such depraved acts and those who wrote the Constitution had no idea this would return."
One such constitutional author would be current PM Miro The Silencer, under whose reign public commentary records have mysteriously vamoosed in peoples' tabloid Slovenske Novice as well as the unashamedly positive Slovenia Times.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depraved Slovenian book-burnings of the past commenced in the Counter Reformation. The calorific value cannot have been great, as the first Slovene books were only printed in 1550, one a bunch of hymns and the other an eight page guide to learning the alphabet.
From 1579 the Hapsburgs reasserted themselves - and Jesuits under Archbishop Horseradish purged the local gentry and lands of not just Protestant books, but also their churches, preachers, cemeteries, and Protestants.
Yes, IS-like, it was convert or quit the farm, except in remote Prekmurje, which Catholics do not like as it has few hills to stand on top of, or hide behind.
Psychotic activity peaked over the Christmas/New Year/Centennial holidays of 1600-1601 - as the first 2000 Slovenian books ever printed were torched in front of Ljub City Hall.
In 1899, Ivan Cankar a previous national poet here in Slovenia who is something like Elton John published his first collection of poetry called Erotika - full of mucky sex stuff.
Demonstrating the way things work in Slovenia, the bishop of Ljubljana Anton Bonaventura JegliÄŤ used his organisation's economic clout to buy every single copy and quickly had them destroyed, saving the public.
And of course Nazis loved a good book fire, during the period up to the beginning of modern Yugoslavia. Finally Tito's victorious Partisans took over all book reviews with order No. 1737-45 of June 3 1945, signed by Minister of Internal Affairs Vicko Krstulović, by which:
"It is forbidden to do any further provisions of sale and any distribution of any literature that was released after April 10th, 1941 in Croatian, German or Italian language. This order is effective immediately. Death to Fascism - Freedom to the people!"
Sounds reasonable. But somehow everything in books became a matter for educationalists. "Because among [books on sale] is a big part of the Ustaša and fascist propaganda literature, and also in the works of international writers are often falsified several passages, the Ministry of Education will appoint a commission of experts who will review all the literature and thereafter approve or prohibit the distribution of individual works."
Decisive conflagrations have accompanied all these assertions of cultural identity in the Slovene lands.
So it seems odd to say, as does yet another poet Boris A Novak, that Emperor Miro had "no idea" book-burning would need to be criminalised, especially as Article 39 of Miro's blockbuster does guarantee freedom of expression.
Might that include literary arson or ex-Presidential papery pyres, though? What about the country's biggest bank's books getting burned for 1.5bn by the Archdiocese of Maribor's front company's internet company? Isn't it less book-burnings and more disk-wipings, with which Slovenians should be concerned, in these razor-wire-enclosed days?
Those Balkans eh? It's pršut first, prosicuttio later.
Probably, more precise statutes and regulations about permitted combustibles remain in the pipeline. Meanwhile, full freedom of expression is guaranteed in Slovenia.
But for whose side? This bit is yet to be resolved.
FAR ON RIGHT 451
It's them writers again, with a headline being considered for entry in the Slovenglish Hall of Fame at www.a2z.si/jungle
They aren't surprised a recent book-burning by depraved Janša supporters wasn't "persecuted" (sic) as this was "believed to be a thing of the past. No law includes such depraved acts and those who wrote the Constitution had no idea this would return."
One such constitutional author would be current PM Miro The Silencer, under whose reign public commentary records have mysteriously vamoosed in peoples' tabloid Slovenske Novice as well as the unashamedly positive Slovenia Times.

Depraved Slovenian book-burnings of the past commenced in the Counter Reformation. The calorific value cannot have been great, as the first Slovene books were only printed in 1550, one a bunch of hymns and the other an eight page guide to learning the alphabet.
From 1579 the Hapsburgs reasserted themselves - and Jesuits under Archbishop Horseradish purged the local gentry and lands of not just Protestant books, but also their churches, preachers, cemeteries, and Protestants.
Yes, IS-like, it was convert or quit the farm, except in remote Prekmurje, which Catholics do not like as it has few hills to stand on top of, or hide behind.
Psychotic activity peaked over the Christmas/New Year/Centennial holidays of 1600-1601 - as the first 2000 Slovenian books ever printed were torched in front of Ljub City Hall.
In 1899, Ivan Cankar a previous national poet here in Slovenia who is something like Elton John published his first collection of poetry called Erotika - full of mucky sex stuff.
Demonstrating the way things work in Slovenia, the bishop of Ljubljana Anton Bonaventura JegliÄŤ used his organisation's economic clout to buy every single copy and quickly had them destroyed, saving the public.
And of course Nazis loved a good book fire, during the period up to the beginning of modern Yugoslavia. Finally Tito's victorious Partisans took over all book reviews with order No. 1737-45 of June 3 1945, signed by Minister of Internal Affairs Vicko Krstulović, by which:
"It is forbidden to do any further provisions of sale and any distribution of any literature that was released after April 10th, 1941 in Croatian, German or Italian language. This order is effective immediately. Death to Fascism - Freedom to the people!"
Sounds reasonable. But somehow everything in books became a matter for educationalists.

national pride
"A RECENT American essayist, Mr. Godkin, has said that 'no country retains the hearty affection of its educated classes which does not feed their imagination.' Patriotism, that is to say, does not rest to any large degree upon a natural pride in the physical beauty of the country that gave us birth, nor yet on a legitimate satisfaction in its commercial or industrial prosperity; it rests upon what we may call the historic imagination. It connects itself with certain events in the past history of our country, or with occurrences, sometimes of a semi-legendary character, that have stamped themselves upon the mind of the nation in a series of vivid mental pictures, and have fostered a just pride in the deeds and epochs of their forefathers.
"Countries that have their history still to make, or that have risen rapidly to greatness by colonisation from outside, without any background of romantic legend or heroic action, are lacking in the first elements that call a pure and elevated patriotism into existence. The memory of great deeds; the slow growth of ideas, expressed either in literature or in the constitution of the country; the mysterious and always attractive twilight of romance, out of which a nation has emerged into the broad daylight of historic life: all these are wanting. The consciousness of a greatness rooted firmly in the past is gone."
----from the introduction to THE CUCHULLIN SAGA IN IRISH LITERATURE by Eleanor Hull (1898)

fat splattering
OI, VERB, HUH?
I went in search of an anti-fat-splatter thing for the frying pan at Poundland clone Tedi. Tedi's main difference from Poundland is that similar or worse crap can cost three or four euros at least.
Well what the hell. Details like price get lost in the battle to describe the desired item.
This one was a spectacular challenge. There is, frankly, no word in English for it. Splatter guard? Fat splash mesh lid? That's the best Amazon can do. "Fat guard" internet searches? - well try it.
By this, the third shop, I had formulated all sorts of clever strategies to obtain the no-spitting thing. It passes the time. I was looking for... a cover...for a pan...against danger...from fat...in the air...when making pommes frites.
And this is what I was reciting, using Slovene words which seemed to elicit at least a sort of disdainful comprehension, as long as there was plenty of hand-waving.
In Slovene-English comparisons, false friends lurk at every turn. ÄŚips are crisps, you see, while chips are designated by the charmless Franken-mutant "pomfri".
Be assured the locals have no idea pomfri have anything to do with French, but have every reason to conclude the term is the idea of some long-forgotten vegetable professor from a different Slovenian village to their own. Professor Pomfri, possibly.
The disconcerting thing that you see in such household goods departments, though, is hand-waving customers and assistants with furrowed brows making shapes in the air AT EACH OTHER - and these are Slovenians from the same town!
And so, I asked the assistant if the enormous perforated lid I had discovered really was a....
We studied the package, with its six languages but not English, along with the price for each country.
As usual, all the countries had the same price. Except Slovenia, which always has an extra buck on it for whatever it is they have here which makes the same thing worth more in the dead centre of the "single market".
This buck covers the cost of the extra calories for all the arm-waving athletics required at every point in the chain, from raw material, to manufacturer, to retailer.
In the hope of reducing future disdain I thought I would try and get something thrown in for that extra amount.
And so I asked her what the Slovenian word for spitting was - in the unlikely event that I would need it again, perhaps ten years down the line.
Her eyes fell, apparently unable to recall this in her own lingo. Or maybe she was thinking, what was the official word? Maybe she was a nice girl and couldn't use that word. Whatever the reason, it didn't come. No sign that this was an imposition of mine - she simply didn't know what to tell me.
After checking for clues on the packaging in Slovene, Slovak, Italian, Hungarian, Italian and German the native speaker gave up, looking a bit sheepish. This happens all the time.
I felt vindicated in my alleged ignorance - if the natives don't know, how could they expect me to???...but of course they do expect that.
She brightened up considerably as I tried a bit of English (accompanied by the crucial gesticulations, of course).
Suitably inspired, she suggested, I think, sprejenje.
"That's what we'd say in my house," she added brightly, as if I could always refer anyone whose vocabulary didn't mesh with my expectorations to her mum.
Sprejenje is spraying, not spitting or splattering, but I accepted this dubious result politely and left with my overpriced, indescribable item.
Pljuvanje, pljunki, or razprševanje, Google's suggestions, did not occur to her. As it turns out they would be entirely inappropriate for the spitting/splattering of inanimate fats: you can never be too careful with such details here.
The great solution to my problem, and possibly the reason she works in Tedi, is spricati - but even this overlaps into the realm of squirting.
I remembered how speechless I was when a Slovenian guy visited my house for the first time and immediately spat on the floor.
Well at least he didn't squirt on it. But if you can't find a word for gobbing in the single market, imagine trying to find words for someone in the singles market!
So dancing around trying to buy things, which words to choose? You might as well ask, who dances best...Eleanor Powell, Cyd Charisse, or Ginger Rogers? I chose this one because I like the colours.

equal TV rights
THE GAY TODAY
Pro-marriage pro- and anti- same-sex marriage ideologues went at it hammer and tongues prior to a referendum on whether to have marriage or more marriages.
Highlights here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oENOkrChK58
flammaaurea describes it as "the best Slovenian comedy of all time".
Our local green party candidate speaks for the "Proti" group here:
https://youtu.be/mCOyivTb73U?t=2943
"Proti" looks like a mixture of pro- and anti-. Actually here it's anti, against more marriages, but proti can also mean "toward" - in the same way that we could be sailing "against the tide" but still feel a forward motion, I guess.
Proti is "toward" in physical space only, I theorize, not when applied to the abstractions of controversies such as these - though there's very little point asking the locals to confirm or deny such factoids.
When a poll's JA or NE of course, everyone wants their side to be the JA side. There's the risk of an unseemly squabble about who gets to frame the question.
But in advertising balance terms ZA and PROTI are flawed too. What if some villager does think voting PROTI means going toward the thing he's against? The Village People in his village bar, in this example.
But the worst of it is simply that PROTI is a bigger word than ZA.
It's just NOT FAIR. It's BIGger on the screen. Clearly every speaker with a BADGE acts like a billBOARD. Should PROTI be made to use smaller letters, so that the total area of the letters is equal with ZA on TV and so forth?
And then, just being Slovenian makes the electorate more likely to be PROTI. So PROTI should be made even smaller still, to compensate for that - and there should be a referendum to decide exactly how small.
The pro-marriage referendum is scheduled for the Sunday before Christmas after church.

Emigre Slovenians in Perth having a good time, as only they know how. Ms Blagajna's down-under tour is being filmed in Dalek-sanjevision.
Surely they have been there a while and should be listening to songs in Australian by now. Rolf Harris or something.
Here in the homeland, I did hear some Rolf the other week, in the supermarket. No Gary Glitter yet.

Think Slovenia has no role to play in fighting Islamic State beyond muttering into its spritzer about people running away from p(r)oxy wars?
Wrong.
When our GIs take leave from the war for Turkey, tired and frustrated after a long tour of firing phosphorus across the Bosphorus and raising hell in the Dardanelles, Slovenia will be standing by ready to provide vital R&R services and logistical support.
Great for GDP accounting too, as tourism counts as an export. Sex tourism counts as a sexport. Koper has the most sexport experts. But it's not just about bitches and pussy, remember all the other things that go with, among them the following interesting items intercepted in the Port of Koper in recent years:
2014: more than 14 tons of smuggled cigarettes (Egypt)
2013: five 200-litre barrels (1000 l) of precursors for the production of ecstasy (China)
2013: more than 24 tons of counterfeit spray (herbicide) of the trademark Syngenta (China)
2013: several cases of cold weapon smuggling: 1,880 telescopic batons, 7,954 electroshock weapons, 4,997 special blades, 2,792 knuckledusters and 898 numchucks (China)
2013: 13 and 10 tons of tobacco for water pipes (Dubai, Jordan)
2012: 10.6 tons of smuggled cigarettes (Dubai)
2012: together with the criminal police, a delivery of precursors was controlled and accompanied to Hungary, then to the Netherlands, where the seizure of 150 barrels of 2-phenylacetoacetonitrile, i.e. APAAN, weighing 3,450 kg was carried out
2011: 13.5 tons of smuggled cigarettes (Dubai)
2011: 4,376 of counterfeit Slovene yearly motorway vignettes (China)
2010: 2,028 of counterfeit chain saws (China)
2010 – 2014: more than 20 tons of undeclared foodstuffs of animal origin (China)

COALITION OF THE KILLING
Like Palmyra Atoll, designation
Of Slovenia's national vocation
Is a whim of Obama -
De-IS instant karma -
Barefaced cheek meets meek humiliation.
Here in the 78th state, apparently it's one rule for Argentinian national sovereignty and the same one for the US of A.
Surely the wishes of the Slovenian islanders must be paramount? Where's Mrs Thatcher when you need her?

HARD LINE NEWS CLERIC OUTLINES "NEW" SEX RULES
Pursuant to takeover procedures by Messrs Moham Med Solutions these new rules on shyness, shagging, and wanking in Slovenia have appeared on the Slovenian internet, formerly partly owned by Moral Code Unlimited (in Receivership: Ding and Dong and Co. on behalf of Diocese of Marsbar vs. Novo Slabobankokoko; Novo Novo Ljubljubilee Bank; everyone else).
Mr Godly-Pope has bowed out, ceding control of the Board of Sex Supervisors to Mr Al Lah. As the new rules haven't been explained in Slovenian here are the main points.
Your new god doesn't want to see you in bed in the nuddy, or hanging around the flat starkers either, even on your tod - although he'll politely turn a blind eye if you're grinding the missuses or having a dump.
Overall, changes to cultural norms have been slight, as the dangers attendant upon loopy, non-militant dancing or dressing like a floozy make the latest ban pointless, here in the terrified farmburbs.
Legal shagging arrangements remain immune to challenge in the Constitutional Court, as commanded by the deity or his agent.
TV news sets are staying blue, with round things and square things and absurdly pretentious dolly shots also unchanged.
Luckily during the transition period there are a number of these helpful chaps who are kindly devoting their time to informing the locals about the ins and outs of life beneath the Kalifstate, before the formal handover on December 25th. The first statute to be enacted will be a 100% tax on Christmas presents.
As previously, god's servants cannot be criminal if they are religious. Life will carry on pretty much the same.
I personally would like to ask one question requesting his detailed theological guidance on a couple of areas. Firstly, should I not have hung around the kitchen in my underwear, contrary to what we were previously led to believe? And how did he get interested in all this in the first place?
Second vibrator use: would it for instance be haram to vibrate above the belly button but out of range of the nips? From where exactly in the Caliphate is it you come? How about behind the knee? And what about mojsterbation?

Apparently Slovenske Novice readers are worried that passing migrants might attack Slovenia's half-a-nuclear-power-station.
If they attacked Croatia's half, that would be OK though, as it would only serve them right for sending these people up here unannounced.
Refugees might kick a cooling tower, or clog up the cold water intake with their plastic bags.

absolutely screamingly high red alert at refugee thing
SLOVENIA'S FIVE-DIGIT FOREIGNOMETER CLOSE TO GOING TWANG OVER INCALCULABLE FOREIGN NUMBERS
People's tabloid Slovenske Novice reports that 94,444 migrants have now entered Slovenia's southern holes. 73,563 have already left. Most had no time to try gibanica and enjoy a relaxing erotic massage.
That leaves 20,881. Slightly less than the 21,000 capacity crowd for the Girls Aloud Ten Tour show at Manchester Arena on 5th March 2013. And the 6th. And the 7th.
I also came across this handy world map of GA concerts.
http://www.setlist.fm/stats/concert-map/girls-aloud-2bd6bcfe.html
All the Youtubes of the Manchester shows are wobbly and blurry so here's one from the slightly smaller (20,000) London O2 arena instead.
During the Girls Aloud tours the government did not meet overnight to discuss the implications for public order and the protection of citizens.
Nobody went on CNN about the crisis. The armed forces were not given special police powers, and so no referendum or legal challenge was initiated over constitutional areas affected by Girls Aloud fans.
https://protimilitarizaciji.wordpress.com/english/
The Girls Aloud audiences were not kept hanging around in camps. The typical Girls Aloud crowd was compliant, happy to be getting to where it wanted to go, and no tear gas or firemen were needed. It was emotional enough.

private privatisation
SCHLOCK AND SAW
Minister for arborification
Reincarnates national vegetation:
Government is just flogging
Itself rights to the logging -
Židan's notion of privatisation.
The government's latest state-owned company is a private company.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/4Zx5VHZaT1u
It's a mystery why rival forestry companies don't like Desperate Dejan's idea, as the government is only trying to protect them.
Little is known of the politics of wood outside Slovenia.
We know Slovenian wood is political as it appears under the Slovenia Times' "Politics" section and not its "Business" section.
Soon the private state-owned forests will be able to supply all the wood to make all the 70s furniture for all of Slovenia's private state-owned 70s banks and private state-owned 70s hotels, although I'm sure these will be free to source it from private, non-state-owned manufacturers, if they can find any. And don't mind being punished.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/DV4FPyWsMQY
In terms of political philosophy, what the Social Democrats' Minister of Wood has come up with here is neither socialist or democratic. The government's really in a wald of its own.
I hope it's not a Maoist forest - the last time that happened, the owners found themselves on the wrong end of 400,000 tons of napalm and 19.1 million gallons of teratogenic herbicide.

bank raid
DUTB: GOVERNMENT NON-INTERFERENCE TO CONTINUE
The government is upset about the government-owned bank NLB unloading the indebted hotel industry (in the form of Sava Turizem) onto the bad bank DUTB.
Yes, that DUTB the government was told by the EU to set up to do jobs like this, to make the banks' books look pretty, on the conditions that it was run by foreigners and gov.si kept their sticky hands off.
Sava got into trouble borrowing money from Gorenjska Bank - but not too much as it owns it - and Gorenjska Bank got into trouble with the central bank for lending money to its owners it can't get back. All the money will have safely disappeared into holding company Sava d.d. which is entirely unresponsible for the debts of Sava Turizem, we can safely assume.
It has been suggested the non-touristic, non-hotel-owning taxpayers of Slovenia should pay the government so it can use the money to get Gorenjska Bank out of its 58m euro-and-counting hole. The Bank of Slovenia does not think Sava Turizem with its own 238m euro-and-counting hole and debts to the bank - in which it is a 44% major stakeholder - can or ought to stump up somehow.
Now what the bad bank was invented for, was to inject some kind of reality into situations like these, instead of the government - which is already a stakeholder in Sava - having to buy the whole sorry mess, or let one or both firms fall to the vicissitudes of those damn market conditions and each others' business acumen in a drowning embrace.
But now the government has spotted a bargain, on sale at that bad bank it invented so as to make sure that government only gets mixed up in commerce at arm's length, and to prevent corruption and such...
The aim is a competitive nationalised hotel industry which with its access to off-the-shelf legislation will be able to compete on a level playing field alongside non-nationalised hotels and B&Bs. And they might just win. Long live the glorious Tourism Five Year Plan!

hotel kleptomania
LARS' LAUGH
Departing Bad Bank chief Lars Nyberg gives it to Emperor Miro with both barrels in an interesting letter in English.
And joj verily wath hith pdf reproduced in Slovenske Novice and became known throughout the Slo-venial tribes.
Ptuj's local tourist amenities and business formats bear witness to these things of which the foreign Prince Lars hath testified.
For was not our newest 70s hotel raised up from the earth, in 2007, thanks to loans from this bank that the company that owned the hotel owned?
And so what would have happened if the hotel company didn't pay its own bank's loan to it, would their bank's magician come and make Terme Ptuj disappear?
Probably not. But the Swedes at the bad bank would.
The local bosses couldn't get their head around the idea of them being paid absurd amounts precisely to reduce their susceptibility to deals on the side. It seems likely our local champion embezzlers are more dopaminergic about the cheating than about the money itself.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/h2oKShncfWy
And having spoken his mind, Prince Lars - along with fellow outlander Torbjörn The Asset Stripper - was banished forthwith from the kingdom of Miro - even as they had only just finally got their health insurance sorted out.
Lars' letter to the PM is worth reading.

What will be the effect of this on the people at the bottom on the front line? Very little, as they are already on their knees.
To celebrate the bad bank's impending deliverance into the hands of local tycoonery, Slovenian state potter Mihold ÄŚajna has designed this commemorative mug, available only EUR39,99 at all good hotels.

neoliberal business opportunities
FAG BAN COULD MEAN WIDER HIGHWAYS
An odd assortment of locales are paying attention to science these days.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_bans_in_private_vehicles
As the only EU country where smoking has significantly increased since 2006, Slovenia is not the sort of place where the costs of cancer, car crashes or forest fires are likely to outweigh drivers' inalienable right to stunt their junior passengers' growth. Anyone who suggests otherwise is committing political suicide, a far worse sort.
Nicotine addiction is so crucial to Slovenia's national identity that when smoking indoors in bars and restaurants became illegal, angry ideologues were demanding it should leave the EU - rather than give up the fight for slavery and conformity.
That didn't happen. And unlike the UK, anti-smoking does not have the weather on its side in Slovenia. But even through the winter fogs, the minority merely meekly followed the normal people outside to watch them grappling grumpily with their fun.
But we like a fuzzy compromise involving small print here. Soon, transparent tents, lean-to conservatories, and quasi-outbuildings popped up all over the alpine landscape. Their insides remained, officially, outside, and woe betide the bar with no space for one. Smokers both active and passive were able to continue with the penis-envy as before in these aerotoxic-as-ever environments.
http://www.ladybud.com/2013/06/26/penis-envy-try-tobacco/
As, from Oct 1, Britain bans puffing away in vehicles carrying under-18s, the random worldwide application of this outrage threatens its spread even here. But as we saw last time, this is really a golden business opportunity for Slovenia's automotive industry.
For surely some kind of temporary structure could be created to accommodate those who are too young to smoke properly yet, so that technically they are not in the car? Children could travel in trailers covered with plastic sheeting, or alongside in a special tobacco-free sidecar.
This will permit the desired result - continued smoking - and would also boost Slovenia's economy in a Rooseveltian style, as all our roads would need widening to cope with the new-shaped traffic.
And smokers travelling without the burden of minors aboard can also be given special lanes where, due to their superior concentration and devil-may-care attitude to factual risks, driving without speed and alcohol limits, seatbelts, or annual safety checks is allowed.

alors comment se fait que vous êtes en Slovénie
HOW FRENCH ECONOMIC MIGRANTS SNEAKED INTO OUR LANDS
OK, that nails it. Using Bing Maps you can plot the movements of the last Bourbon king of France Charles X, from the July Revolution of 1830, to his abdication, flight to England, Scotland, then to Czech places, then finally for the healthier climate to Nova Gorica, where he caught cholera and died, seventeen days after arriving.
But you cannot chart his royal retreat into the crevices of catholicism using Google Maps any more as it now has a limit of ten waypoints for driving directions. Just a couple more would have made it possible. We should question such unlikely decimal decisions.
When the ex-Charles-X arrived, Nova Gorica dwelt in the fabulous-sounding Kingdom of Illyria, which endured for a glorious 33 years as an Austrian-run successor to Napoleonic rule, and covered present western Slovenia, a bit of Austria, northern Croatia and north-eastern Italy.
Ancient Illyria lay in what is now Albania, and this classical Illyria is nowhere near the Kingdom created in 1816 to face off the Hungarians.
Apparently they all thought they were descended from the (Albanian-area) Illyrians.
The fear in Croatia was that Hungarian linguistic influence would overwhelm them. Hungary was so touchy about the Duchies it banned the use of the word "Illyria". It in turn feared the Germanisation of its territory.
Croat Ljudevit Gaj convinced the administration's inhabitants to speak Ĺ tokavian instead of the Kajkavian we still have here in Ĺ taerska. Ĺ tokavian became Serbo-Croat, getting it together somewhat.
As 1848 came around and Austria and Hungary unfriended each other, Hungary's official language of Latin had been replaced with...Hungarian.
Some Kajkavians asked politely if their half of the Slovenian-speaking lands could join the Ĺ tokavians and be in Illyria too. Slovenian intellectuals immediately had a big squabble about their language, specifically whether it existed, or, if it did exist, whether it was worth making a country to fit it. Nothing happened. Next year Illyria was broken up by the German-speaking people in charge, in Vienna.
So Hungarians didn't have to speak Latin or German. "Illyrians" didn't have to speak German already anyway. And fortunately things worked out so well, nobody was forced to speak Hungarian either.
Squashed in between all this, Slovenians tilled on regardless, speaking 49 subdialects in 8 groups. It took from the early 19th century until 1983 just to agree on how to classify them.
In 1947 the Yugoslav-Italian border was moved a few hundred yards, amusingly shifting the crypt of the unpopular Bourbon king and his refugee relatives over to Tito's communist sovereignty.
Slovenia left Yugoslavia in 1991 and the rest is history. And that's how come Charles X is in Slovenia.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: some of the roads shown in the king's post-royal route to Nova Gorica didn't exist then, and the channel crossing couldn't be shown quite right as you can't sail from Cherbourg to Cowes on Bing Maps.

Ancient Illyria lay in what is now Albania, and this classical Illyria is nowhere near the Kingdom created in 1816 to face off the Hungarians.
Apparently they all thought they were descended from the (Albanian-area) Illyrians.
The fear in Croatia was that Hungarian linguistic influence would overwhelm them. Hungary was so touchy about the Duchies it banned the use of the word "Illyria". It in turn feared the Germanisation of its territory.
Croat Ljudevit Gaj convinced the administration's inhabitants to speak Ĺ tokavian instead of the Kajkavian we still have here in Ĺ taerska. Ĺ tokavian became Serbo-Croat, getting it together somewhat.
As 1848 came around and Austria and Hungary unfriended each other, Hungary's official language of Latin had been replaced with...Hungarian.
Some Kajkavians asked politely if their half of the Slovenian-speaking lands could join the Ĺ tokavians and be in Illyria too. Slovenian intellectuals immediately had a big squabble about their language, specifically whether it existed, or, if it did exist, whether it was worth making a country to fit it. Nothing happened. Next year Illyria was broken up by the German-speaking people in charge, in Vienna.
So Hungarians didn't have to speak Latin or German. "Illyrians" didn't have to speak German already anyway. And fortunately things worked out so well, nobody was forced to speak Hungarian either.
Squashed in between all this, Slovenians tilled on regardless, speaking 49 subdialects in 8 groups. It took from the early 19th century until 1983 just to agree on how to classify them.
In 1947 the Yugoslav-Italian border was moved a few hundred yards, amusingly shifting the crypt of the unpopular Bourbon king and his refugee relatives over to Tito's communist sovereignty.
Slovenia left Yugoslavia in 1991 and the rest is history. And that's how come Charles X is in Slovenia.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: some of the roads shown in the king's post-royal route to Nova Gorica didn't exist then, and the channel crossing couldn't be shown quite right as you can't sail from Cherbourg to Cowes on Bing Maps.

overkeane reporting war of besed
SLOVENSKE NOVICE ACCUSES BBC OF BORDERLINE MEDIA MANIPULATION AS BLOODLESS BORDER CROSSINGS BORE BBC BACKROOM BOYS
Poor BBC reporter Feargal Keane has been lambasted in the people's tabloid Slovenske Novice for portraying a Slovenian refugee transit centre in a rather grim light.
http://is.gd/Ee8DxU
Having apparently gone out of its way to position itself in the undergrowth, a somewhat melodramatic FK team has overdone it a bit with the fence shots. We are not even specifically told the crew was refused entry.
The victim is being "detained in Slovenia" - which is "a waystation on Europe's trail of failure" FK informs us, in his most minor key.
Refugees are being "pushed from border to border", Feargal moans drearily as the creepy-looking destination "ObÄŤasni prevoz" looms into view on British screens for the first time ever, in a bus window.
Seconds later her "imprisonment" and "release" quite naturally results in Noujain's successful arrival by train at her intended destination in Germany.
I can explain everything. The Beeb has two known representations of this part of the world.
One is the one you like: a scenic alpine trip.
The other is the camp at Srebrenica, a Bosnian town some 500km from Slovenia's border, where the BBC did a report during the war.
As this was a sad story with a happy ending the Beeb had to opt for the latter cliche on this occasion.
The unreportably boring truth is that Slovenia is being perfectly ok, certainly a lot more reasoned in its handling of the flow than some countries these travellers have recently visited.
Unluckily Slovenians cannot join in with the cream of their journalists, at Slovenske Novice, and slag Feargal off in its comments columns, and nor there can he defend his gloomy portrayal of our reception points as, in common with all articles on their website since the refugees began arriving, "Komentiranje ÄŤlanka v tem trenutku ni mogoÄŤe."
Ignoring the alleged victim of this horrifying treatment (by the BBC) the outraged SN vainly focusses instead on the primary issue being confronted thanks to the refugee crisis.
Which is Slovenia's image, of course.

mountain costs
Writing 103 years ago, Dr Henrik Tuma advised readers of Planinski Vestnik that approaching Kanin from the Italian side is much more popular, while the choice of routes down to Bovec is so diverse that "it is almost incomprehensible, how Kanin is abandoned".
http://is.gd/0fKS2A
"Slovenian tourists on Kanin are so rare that they can be counted on the fingers of one hand," reported the 1912 No. 3 edition of the alpinist gazette (p44).
Plus ca change...
In April 2015 the municipality of Bovec was prepared to pledge a surety of 112,000 euros http://lakesandmountainsuk.blogspot.si/2015/04/bovec-creditors-of-atc-kanin-reject.html for its ski lift gondolas.
Which had crashed to earth, insists The Slovenia Times - contradicting the relatively unimportant opinion of the Slovenian Meteorological Society - due to a freak wind. Yeah, sorry about that.
Every day with the lifts out of action increases the losses. But the government couldn't just hand money to the company as that would be state aid ...which is bad.
It would've threatened cable car competitiveness. So that company is now bankrupt.
Now since trashing its famous ski-making company Elan with EU money, which the EU subsequently decided the company would have to repay as it counted as unfair state aid, the Slovenian government has become more cautious in its largesse.
And so in the case of Kanin, control of the business and the money has been handed to the local council instead.
The council will undoubtedly do its best, and we can certainly expect to see a mission with a forward-looking vision when the time comes to elect a working committee to formulate a strategic plan to give the green light for their ski lifts' ticketing system.
Probably you will just be able to buy one ticket to enter Bovec-Land covering all your food, drinks, betting stakes, accommodation, hosting, hostessing, and hoisting.
And the brave entrepreneurs will be paid back by the council eventually, somehow.
At any rate, the cable car system should be funded by the "linked businesses" - except they're going to be the council's now too - but also subsidised "as with uneconomic bus routes".
http://www.24ur.com/novice/slovenija/razgovori-pri-koncu-smucisce-kanin-bi-lahko-v-naslednji-zimski-sezoni-ozivelo.html
By May the repairs needed to the unmaintained ski transport infrastructure were being estimated at 3m euros.
http://lakesandmountainsuk.blogspot.si/2015/05/bovec-third-auction-unlucky-for-hotel.html
By July when the council coughed up the fees for the receiver - and transfer of ATC Kanin's bits and pieces to public ownership via a "little-known law" - they had risen to 170,000 euros.
But this is small change, as it turns out, as the municipality of Bovec (pop. 1613) will now receive 5.7m euros for "tourism development" - starting with mending the ride.
This cannot now be illegal state aid for a company as it is only the state aiding itself, see?
Better still, being run by local government it doesn't matter if the economics make any sense, as bureaucracy can always create a value for itself. And soak up any spare money.
If it doesn't work out, it will be the fault of those responsible for this democratically-elected ski-travel and restaurant business: the voters.
With typical melancholy, even the good news is bad news. It turns out tourist income in Bovec only fell 13% during the ski-interregnum, bringing the whole question of the value of the cableway into perspective - alas too late to avert this swashbuckling local transport govbusiness adventure. Onward and upward!
Meanwhile gov.si has reached for its most gormless English student and put out this appropriately dated press release about this money, on 9/11.
http://lakesandmountainsuk.blogspot.si/2015/09/boveckanin-press-release-from-ministry.html
But wait, this gives me a fantastic idea!
This is a great model - first transferring non-performing assets into public ownership, then doling out the foreigners' money, then, presumably, selling said assets in perfect condition as a going concern to someone - while councillors and bureaucrats get in the way all over the place with their hands out. We definitely need more of this over here in my end of Slovenia.
Couldn't officials simply move Ptuj's unprofitable chicken factory air into the public sector? Ptuj air has not performed well in decades. Taking it into public ownership might qualify it for some grant.
Ptuj's council might get 5.7m euros for some equipment to put between it and Perutnina Ptuj to kiss off the Town Smell!
This will transform the place, giving their air a mountain-fresh, morale-boosting, tourism-friendly air flavour! And recover the untold millions in lost tourism, caused by the smell keeping visitors away.
For current flavours see www.ptuj.co.uk/rendering
Maybe, though, Ptuj's dismal atmospheric situation bears no semblance to that of a tiny council, remote from Ljub City, lumbered with an extraordinary one-trick-pony of a white elephant.
At first sight, skiing and breathing have nothing in common. Skiing is obviously more popular and important as this investment shows.
It is harder to see a way to turn a smell into cash than a cable car. On the map, Kanin is on the left, while Ptuj is on the right, and maybe that's all this ideological conflict is about.
If nobody bids for Perutnina Ptuj's air in three successive auctions, we can really, legally, have it transferred to the obÄŤina, who can fix it up, trouser the rest and then sell it back into a competitive air marketplace.
PP do seem to be bankrupt, as far as ideas go. Any bids then?

no flee on me
Slovenia announces border controls.
If your Balkan refugeeography is - like most people's - a bit vague, Slovenia has borders with Hungary in the east, Croatia in the south, Italy in the west, and Austria in the north.
Slovenia has no border with Serbia. So with them we get on a bit better.

farewell parties
As another Slovenian political party bites the dust, this Youtube unknowingly summarises how the Slovenian politic churns away in its sorry entirety, namely through displacement of the incumbents by a never-ending succession of public shamings, a sort of Aunt Sally for schadenfreude-addicted baying mobs. Those catholics, eh.
For anyone interested, the latest party-that-split-from-another-party, that of previous PM Alenka Bratušek, has been deserted by its parliamentary leader, leaving it with just two members, too few to entitle it to parliamentary office services.
Faced with the horrifying prospect of a lack of bureaucrats and expense accounts, Alenka tried to split from herself, and join the Social Democrats.
But too many SD members said they would split themselves, if she was allowed to join, as she had been shamed for nominating herself for the post of EU Energy Commissioner.
Meanwhile two-time PM Janša will not be going back to jail for arms deal backhanders, as he is now innocent due to the statute of limitations. But the energy and cash expended campaigning for his release has sapped his SDS.
Janša has now popped up on Croatian TV for an interview with our neighbours' idea of Paxman - https://youtu.be/pQqj1QXdYmQ
JJ's appearance is calculated to appeal to Croatia's own penchant for Slovenia-shaming, due to the interminable maritime border and Ljubljanska Bank disputes. As a result his chances of becoming PM of Croatia are somewhat better than a third go here.
His motive, as usual, was to point the finger at former communists in Slovenia for framing him via an un-lustrated judiciary.
He accuses these eminences grises of inventing a procession of new parties, containing the same faces but with new names - he means the LDS, Positive Slovenia, and latterly Bratušek's - to give the electorate new hope every time a scandal tarnishes their good name.
What, does he think the punters are goldfish-brained, convinced by image over substance, lured to the polls by boring suits and bland promises? Played like fiddles and bounced around into making the same mistakes again and again by a bit of scandal and rebranding? Well...
With the now-defunct LDS it was special treatment in returning confiscated savage dogs to Ljub City's favourite post-op transsexual dildodogfucking doctor to the political shitterati, here he is: http://www.genspot.com/Handlers/LinkImage.ashx?linkId=20151
With the now presumably defunct PS of Ljubljana mayor Zoran Janković the shame centres on several hundred grand in backhanders for putting up a sports stadium shopping centre nobody wants to rent, while the firms that actually built it were driven into bankruptcy due to "lack of funds". As this is tied up with nepotism and is something to do with men running around in shorts it is the sort of shame that is regarded as heroic in Balkan circles.
All three have, at various convenient political moments, been raided by the cops. All three have continued as before.
All these pigs at the trough despise each other: the once-young-communist Janša is regarded by the left as a traitor and revisionist, while the supposedly centre-leftists have become gimps of the biggest parodies of post-soviet oligarchs in Europe.
http://diepresse.com/home/meinung/dejavu/717680/Slowenien_Wo-die-Vergangenheit-der-Zukunft-im-Wege-steht
Much of this relies on a tired and emotional Slovenian electorate to completely forget everything, every time a new party - be it any of the above, or the now defunct list of Gregor Virant, or the current ruling SMC - gets created and sweeps to power virtually overnight.
Between left and right, the shame has now evened out.

stat wars
In January-March 2015 Hungary had 32,810 new asylum applicants, 22,830 of them from Kosovo. Apparently the mafia runs everything there and people want to get away from that. http://is.gd/jYP6Dq
Hungary logged 54 thousand illegal border crossers in the first five months of 2015. By the end of the year, this number could reach 120 thousand, in contrast to just below 40 thousand in 2014. http://is.gd/x8lmao ...Then there's the other 80% who don't get pulled.
Let the tunnelling begin. Or which way will you go now, to get around The Great Fence of Hungary? Towards Romania and the Ukraine?
Seems the poor little bottleneck of Slovenia doesn't even merit a label, on its incomprehensible neighbour Hungary's map, of migration away from international arms trade successes.

PTUJ WEATHER - Wed 19 August
Perutnina Ptuj gravy rain, steadying later to a fine gristle drizzle.
As usual, every smell from the chicken factory is matched with a poem as part of our festival Days of Poetry and Ptuj's Chicken Factory Smell and here it is...
AROMA THOUGHTS, FROM ABROAD
O2 be entangled -
Flap smell away there,
Phew! Many chickens mangled -
Jeez, appalling manky air.
Shut your windows tight. Economic whiff.
Town must pay its toll, to da chicken massive.
Vile guff inches, wings up the street - enough!
Slove-kno-how?
Big city fable, bathed in sorrows,
Air-be-unstable, the rest just follows!
Park where it bottoms out, they cut the hedge
Leaving our smell free to splatter all over
Unstopped by the gym of Dejan Zavec
Past the dentist's; it heads on towards Hofer...
CO2's not what Ptuj needs to recapture:
Huh-couldn't-care-less factor!
And whoa, pluh-ease! Town Smell rough, somewhat shit:
Its owner's basking on a yacht off Split.
Flag flutters, caps off! Perutnina power
— Far tighter than his factory of ours!
based on Home Thoughts, From Abroad, by Robert "Microwave" Browning

warning! extremely graphic ethnographic infographic
Unfortunately my picture hasn't been validated by expat blog.
They don't accept photos on which people are recognisable or which would not respect privacy, logos, photos which are not owned by the sender, or photos with no apparent link with the selected country or life abroad.
I don't see any problem with ownership, or recognisable people. Privacy in the romantic-looking town of Ptuj is hardly an issue as it hasn't been invented here yet, and the connection with life is quite clear (unless you had a Slovenian sex education).
I guess this must be Ptuj's logo then. Thanks to expat blog.

BANANARAMA BUYS CURLING HALL
According to multi-billion-dollar software giant Google's translation of http://www.slovenskenovice.si/novice/slovenija/prvi-bananar-kupuje-stozice-dela-za-zorana-jankovica the eighties trio Bananarama have acquired financially flopped shopping centre sports centre project StoĹľice, over in Ljub City.
Boringly the buyer turns out not to be the Decca pop proteges after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyu4mKaHtag - but Slovenia's First Husband of Bananas, as they say around here.
When the shops turned out to be too expensive, it was suggested to turn the retail areas of the stadium complex over to additional sporty facilities.
Noting that an existing oversupply of sports centres damages their own financial survival, councillor Jazbinšek proposes that the unused retail space be used for more sports centres - and suggests the Highland pastime of curling as one of the best space user-uppers.
Due to the lack of demand for curling this won't upset any rival sports facilities but, vitally, still allows the creation of still more sports facilities.

TOWN BIN MONEY SHOCK:
X-MAYOR ÄŚELAN'S SECRET OVERSIZED PLAYGROUND DISCOVERED
Just kidding. In fact while X-Mayor was Mayor4eva, gov.si was ripping off his regional centre by not calling it a regional centre, keeping all the loot in Ljub City and leaving the region, its centre, and its rubbish to rot.
Vital services were so affected that some of our strippers even had to buy their own accordions, without the support of EU Cohesion Funding.
Meanwhile ZRS Bistra were busy at Cero Gajke researching the perfect combination of garden waste and shitesludge, also known to police investigators as thermophilic solid state anaerobic digestion of OFMSW in sequential batch reactors, which is the technical term for three wheelie bins.
A fairly illiterate outline of the commercially secret findings about the 17 muncipalities' compost plans - which sadly did not enjoy the benefits of my English scientific proofreading skills www.a2z.si/a - was published by an associate in 2011, operating out of the logical choice of base for this kind of work: Mauritius.
http://www.codwap.hs-bremen.de/02%20Material/session_day%203/14.%20Belsak.pdf
A couple of months ago Cero Gajke finally obtained its licence from the Environment Ministry. This took eight or nine years. Most of the complications seem to have nothing to do with rubbish. Not that kind, anyway.

recycling
PTUJ WEATHER FORECAST: YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE
v hot z drobovine...
unbearable humidi-meaty-air-illogical conditions...
grim greasy cock coating caking Winnebago windows.
Stillness turning later to motionlessness...
static stratified aldehyde...
with a chance of rooster-stones.
Meanwhile something's afoot at the recycling centre. X-Mayor has received a visit after a complaint from a Swiss company. 17 councils round Ptuj chipped in for a thingumyjig - but I'm afraid the rest of the news emerges from my lingo-gizmo in the form of too much garbage to separate.
Ptuj may even be bankrupt due to the cost of its mucknicipal crevices - happily there is already a tried and tested solution. The public is already very good with the plastics, glass and paper and so on.
This just leaves the smelly organic natural rubbish which we could also easily deliver by ourselves to the back of Eurospin, where it could be vaporised along with our popular airborne chicken remains and incorporated into the regular Town Smell.
It can only improve our municipal ming, as meat and veg obviously go together. And the garbage will literally disappear!*
*Not literally literally - that would contravene the law of the conservation of matter.

FIRST NON-BAD AUCTIONS EVER TAKE PLACE
Like people all over the world, Slovenians want the best for themselves, and they want it to cost virtually nothing.
Instead they have made everything more expensive in Slovenia than is normal in similar places.
But anyway, that's The Way Things Are. And so as not to upset them we must learn only very slowly how to create our own values.
Slovenian folk understand auctions somewhat differently to you or I, namely solely as destructive, publicly-feared weapons used by desk-murdering bureaucrats to evict families and sell their homes from under them for a fraction of the true value, over debts as small as 100 euros, accompanied by huge fees starting with a legally obligatory property valuation at 700 euros.
But Slovenians blaming auctions for this is like blaming the typewriter for Jeffrey Archer. You could probably build a religion around his novels if no other books existed. It's like that.
Confusingly too, there's a vague perception that auctions are some kind of a competition - but one in which physical exertion confers a limited advantage; nor are drinking and cheering your allegiances to some faction very helpful to the process.
We know Slovenians, until zombie paralytic and ready to slay their relatives or departing girlfriends, are very timid and shy and may not wish to bid, especially if they don't know what bidding is. Because hitherto auctions have been an entertainment reserved for a clique of legal twisters, vampires and spivs, and otherwise a peril to be avoided.
Auctions also bring with them the embarassing revelation, novel here, that two people can think differently about something's value - at practically the same time!
To prevent any complications which could be introduced into the valuation of items due to their quality, quantity, desirability or availability, competitors here normally agree to charge the same for things - the maximum possible - to avoid a big fight.
So this auction that, inaccurately, reminds Slovenians of the threat constantly posed by their own bloodsucking system, has been oddly scheduled, at six in the evening on a Saturday night, when all good men and true are recovering from watching sport, and poised to find oblivion from their daily reality in strong drink, instead of changing it.
So hopefully those who come will not have to go red in the face bidding against anyone. That way they are sure to pick up something cheap. If anyone brings anything.
For that, of course, those people would have to have some new kind of idea, explaining why they would wish to sell their things. And how that could possibly be allowed.

TOUGH TIMES FOR TOURIST FARMING
Haloze winegrowers face almost impossible conditions scratching around trying to eke out a living with a perennial shortage of tourists.
It's unclear who is responsible when there are not enough tourists...while enough tourists to support local viticulture would be too many for the infrastructure to support especially as they don't speak Slovene.
Non-tourists worry that adequate numbers of tourists could swamp the culture of Slovenia which was the whole reason for setting it up in the first place.
Nobody wants to see fist-fights over foreigners, due to either their scarcity or overwhelming numbers. So the EU has stepped in with some free money with which associations have prepared themselves in case anything happens, and here is a video of their grateful testimonials.
From a series "what [sic] enables rural stakeholders and broader public to get to know the LEADER approach in Slovenia and the role the local action groups (LAG) have in implementing various LEADER projects" produced by Radio-Television of Slovenia in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment, Slovenian National Rural Network, and cofinanced by The European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development: Europe investing in rural areas.

TALES OF THE TAME FRONTIER 6:
LEFT-RIGHT VISION
PTUJ 17.11.2012 12.39 - Waitresses and checkout ladies watch as a foreign minister and a mayor and some other men prepare to reveal why (then German-speaking) Marburg didn't remain in Austria after WW1, and became the Slovenian-sprachen Maribor of today.
In the spiky-helmeted days of 1918 soldier-poet General Rudolf Maister found himself a career soldier working for the enemy, and they were losing.
He and 4200 or so like-minded folk sort of went off, and assumed control of the Styrian/Ĺ taerskan capital amid the collapse of Austro-Hungarian institutions. Four fifths of its population spoke German, his guys and the surrounding rural territory almost entirely Slovenisch.
Things were a bit edgy for the minority takeover forces in the city, and there was a bit of crowd-shooting, of disputed origin. Those that could, or should, had departed to Austria by the end of the year. By the beginning of WW2 the German-speaking population was roughly 25%.
Maister went on to less successful things, trying to Slovenify up in Carinthia. The Entente had other ideas, while not only the Deutschlautsprechern but also the Slovenisch-govorcev there weren't having any of it either, and made this plain when its population as well as women got to decide in a vote. Maister and his fighters went back to their own Kingdom.
Here, also, a few wimmins was asking to do some voting. But no-one paid any attention to them as they were women and didn't have the right to decide on anything. If you want Ikea, you still have to go to Graz even now - 97 years later!
The laydeez had nothing to do with electing any of the 39 governments which followed during the next 23 years. Ideological opposition to ladyvoting was exported by Slovenian liberal thinkers to Croatia and Serbia.
It was viewed as a backdoor to conservative control by the Catholic Church. Nowadays, and despite all their efforts, it still is.
Universal suffrage didn't arrive in Maister's stomping ground until the communists took over. But suspicions of the enemy's conservatism persisted for decades.
Despite quotas and independence, a girl's place remained chained to the štedilnik, and until 2011 Slovenia had the lowest percentage of women MPs in the EU.

BIG BAD BANK NOW COUNTRY'S BIGGEST BAD HOTELIER
Handbags are flying as hotel owners Sava are outraged at the bad bank seizing 99% of its shares, while it was still supposedly undergoing preventive restructuring.
"Pillaging of the shares was carried out in contravention of the provisions of credit agreements and contracts of insurance...contrary to the law, which defines the procedure for preventive restructuring, and because court proceedings were ongoing, the plundering of the shares was not legally permissible," says Sava, whose concerns the government listened to carefully before telling it to eff off.
DUTB is lumping together hotels from ten indebted companies, giving its SPV vehicle 30% of Slovenia's capacity, and says it will have to do better than the present owners. Perhaps some help with the cooking?

SECOND GREAT PEACE OF MIRO I BEGINS
SLOVENIA TIMES CULTURAL LOVE MISSION CONTINUES
There was a dark cloud floating on the sea horizon. And lo, the Sages consulted the Magic Onion, asking, surely not many refugees could be stuffed into tiny Slovenia?
And Emperor Miro was forced to make a cautious proclamation, floating the shockingly high number of 15.
This provoked outrage amid the Slovenske-Novic-ites. And there was consternation in those columns...
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/ioJWRQkJhs6
And it came to pass that the EU-ites decided the number will be 495. And as the news sunk in, a commenter did comment among the columns of The Slovenia Times, yea! for it was he whose comments in the first 14 days of the reign of Miro I had led to The Great Peace of Aashaddap.
And in those times, in the process of stopping his uncontrolled commenteering, most of the national poetry of Slo-ven-i-a was consigned to the Pit of Provocative Pixels.
And it did not stop there, because they couldn't find a way of stopping the funny ones but leaving the many fantastic offers of loans and relationship-assistive witchcraft spells, that form the majority of the ST's comments.
Thereforeuntofore ALL comments of all the peoples of Slo-ven-i-a and from the Outlands, also ceasedethed, and in fact only resumed six weeks ago.
And lo, it was done differently, so that comments became impermanent. And yea, any English-speaking comment on the land of Slovenia followed by five more comments on the land of Slovenia did vanish into the blackness of used-up cyberspace at The Slovenia Times.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/2th86fAt8jE
And those among the people who were Charlie did wonder what all the fuss was about, and what exactly The Slovenia Times had achieved with its Orwellian tactics?
Whereas those who went among the sages of chicken were indeed wrathful and said, Behold what trouble just this one immigrant has caused with his announcements about the Insurance of the Elf, about Ptuj's bitchin' gossip and - as he dwelt amid the fat-tanks of Ptuj - about the Inane Aromas of The Ages - www.ptuj.co.uk which is still for sale by the way.
And this foreigner's not even black, they muttered, a bit confused that he was not on their SIDE. For he could understand why the refugees didn't want to hang around and get blown up by superpower arms salesmen, and thought the peoples of Gadaffiduck and the Bashar Street Kids were human too, if sometimes a bit underinformed about metaphysical developments in recent centuries, not unlike the Slo-ven-i-ites themselves.
So anyway this time the commenter, Mohammed Hamsandwich, did comment here
http://www.sloveniatimes.com/eu-proposes-slovenia-take-in-495-refugees-from-greece-and-italy#komentarji
as follows:
LOSS OF NATIONAL IDENTI-KU
Though Slovenia was feeling delighted
After forty-five years Yugo-nited
When at last they broke free
They grew melancholy
By self-government they feel benighted.
I'm sure once the locals see how the Arabs treat their bitches they will be welcomed and fit right in.
Slovenia did subscribe to the blowing up of these countries, in the hope of making a buck or two.
Perhaps if it hadn't, it could make some kind of case for reserving its part of the planet for people not affected by the outcomes of supplying religious people with guns, chemicals, and high explosives.
Sadly it was so desperate to get its own place Slovenia didn't read the EU's tenancy agreement.
And below this Mohammed Hamsandwich did reference the following foreign policy background.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/GhHsDWegMsc
And once more there was consternation in sensitive, feely Slo-ven-i-a, and verily even as the comment crept through the PR servers of Slo-ven-i-a overnight his tablets were dispensed with and his comment did totally vanishethed from the PR archives of The Slovenia Times.
And 'twas as if the comment had never been. And yo, just as in times past, from this day forth, nor could be made any comment.
For all scribes were expunged equally due to the catastrophic comment of Hamsandwich.
And nor was it because of strings therein, or his name, or even blocked unto just his own IP. A few suggestions for the ST's supporters of village racism there.
And yea, all was peaceful once more in those columns and in the Kingdom of Miro, for the man on the Ptuj omnibus could speaketh not.
Thus began The Second Great Silence Of Miro I.
At least you could say Slovenia is a country where a single voice can still have an impact.

POLI-TITS UPDATE --
WOMAN NOT SMARTER AFTER ALL SHOCK!
As mayfly education minister Klavdija MarkeĹľ is stripped of her Master's degree for plagiarism, someone wants us to absorb the gossip that Ptuj's favourite school girl left her husband and two teenage children "to go and live in Ljubljana with some politicians".
http://www.publishwall.si/pozareport/post/121852/nove-skrivnosti-solske-ministrice-zapustila-moza-v-ljubljani-pa-zivi-s-politikom
Exactly how many in a bed is a statistic best left for cartoonists to conjure. Ugly rumours are a Ptuj speciality anyway www.maria.si but the ed-ex's ex and the ex-director of our university herself are keeping tight lipped about these viscous mudslinging stories as though it wasn't any business of ours what our municipal celebrities get up to in a hotel room with a baby octopus.
This rumour neither confirms nor refutes the suspicion that local politics has long festered around some kind of mirthless money-crazed new age swinger commune scene, here in the otherwise sexually somewhat less-than-liberated factory-farmlands.
Forget those other kind of exams. Just smear some mechanically recovered chicken sausage on your baps, dab on a few drops of Eau de Ptuj, run away a bit but not too much - and the job could be yours!

TALES OF THE TAME FRONTIER 3:
TELEFUNKEN U47
Shit-hot proper sing-ging of what turns out to be a quality, non-tinkling item which has skilfully wandered around the Tame Frontier.
We're somewhere in West Germany in 1970...and though it's early days for Hawkwind, I think we can hear a bit of them in Der Sommerwind...
While the Tame Frontier is part geospatial, part temporal, part experiential, and totally mental, at this particular space~time coordinate tameness was being held at bay by quality microphones - and meticulous care. Just look at the presence here. But as soon as you left the autobahn dense mats of tameness would envelop you from every direction.

We're somewhere in West Germany in 1970...and though it's early days for Hawkwind, I think we can hear a bit of them in Der Sommerwind...
While the Tame Frontier is part geospatial, part temporal, part experiential, and totally mental, at this particular space~time coordinate tameness was being held at bay by quality microphones - and meticulous care. Just look at the presence here. But as soon as you left the autobahn dense mats of tameness would envelop you from every direction.
With Do Long bridge by the Schtripper Orkester.

SLO-BANG-A-BOOM TINKLING EXPENSESGANZA...
MUSICOCKTAIL SAUSAGE PARTY FOR RTV GREYTERATI
Like a non-cute pre-menstrual Esther Ofarim with the singing voice of Dudley Moore http://is.gd/JoCQ6U, apricot-flavoured Maraaya indicate their presence for us while the obligatory wind machine fails to produce the hoped-for shampoo advert effect, in Slovenia's bid for supreme mediocrity in the important competitive area of Euro-averageness.
Add a totally Tangoed contemporary prancer with one foot nailed to the stage, and Paul Young's mullet from the 80s on tinkling for bad measure, and this is Poli-buro pop play-doh extruded by a central cultural committee.
Not super bad, but why would anyone do this? Especially so many times. So over-rehearsed that you can guess she's kinda sick of the whole thing from the first bar, despite the frantic attempts to give this traditionally uncontroversial Eurovision message the nod.
Just weird.

PATENT REVIVED
Slovenia's saved! They appear
For once, to have done something first here:
With their royalty plan
Every train, truck and van
Will be charged by turns for our idea.
You were wondering, what was ever invented in Slovenia? The answer is - everything!
Suddenly the economics of archaeology make sense, as Slovenia discovers the ultimate in rentier-ism.

FROM THE NPOSIALPU ARCHIVES:
EXTRAORDINARY NEPO-STATISTICS IN THE REIGN OF JANĹ A II
Re-deleted along with all the Slovenia Times' other comments in the Second Great Hush of Miro I, so I'll just leave this one here...
FANTASTIC GASTATISTIC NEPO-ETRY
Two million Slovenes, of which one's
Janša's daughter, and one Tanko's son:
Pressurised spheres -
Plin, o vod vi got here?
Chance: two thirds of a million to one.
Well let me explain. There are 90 seats in National Assembly of which 26 belong to the SDS.
0.505143 Slovenians are women and 1.56 is the live birth rate in Slovenia (2011, SURS).
26 / 90 x 0.505143 x 1.56 must mean that there are 20.4886 children of SDS National Assembly members.
There were 169360 business entities in Slovenia (2011, SURS).
The chances of these offspring being employed by one business is 20.489 / 169360 = 0.000120976617855
The probability of TWO of the same type of offspring being employed by ANY single business is simply this number multiplied by itself.
...which is 0.000000014635342
or 0.0000015%
Have readers noticed any similar unusual coincidences?
Politicians may observe that my methodology has an uncomfortable relationship to real life. My calculation is about right in the same way that politicians' ideas are right about you. For more tips on anti-nepotistic poetry in Slovenia, pay a foreigner.

JOBCENTRE PLUS EXTRAS
Wanted: hands, to help ugly/retired -
Job unusual: where client gets fired.
Need to prove that you're looking?
If you're hooking we're booking -
(Junior school English required).
With this offer of employment shooting off to Jobcentres nationwide, Slovenia is now officially handling its own recovery.
M/Ĺ˝ means this is an equal sexy opportunity. It is a 12-month position with a 3-month probationary period while you get your hand in.
Government statisticians have already afforded erotic massage a classification number and regular inspection visits have begun to aggregate data on median orgasm times and sperms per square metre of ceiling.
As in the UK, our economic detritus is obliged by civil service detritus to go applying for any job available, else it's no ker-ching.
This raises some interesting angles: what if wanking off wrinkly tourists, drunk boy racers, and government employees ends up being the only work available?
Morally speaking though, this work is best suited to foreigners, defending the reputations of our local peaches and protecting them from salty air. The prospect of diseased immigrants, with all the healthcare and insurance rights they face, coming over here and blowing out of all proportion, presents an economics conundrum containing enough heat to fuel a joint IDS/UKIP rocket to examine the ejecta blankets of Venus.
Anyway it'll be hard to find anyone local with enough experience. Fortunately, Ptuj has been spared its special embarrassment in Slovenske Novice's photo by use of the finger.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/ACtGg784dfV
As ever, education is the key, and schools are preparing the way for Slovenia's future economy.

OHM I GOTT...The Slovenia Times has deleted all its readers' comments evvah! Including this historic item from this article...
RESISTANCE SET TO CONTINUE
The pre-inaugural meeting of the planned Društvo Lang Bang Fajn Imam met at NPOSIALPU headquarters in Ptuj yesterday evening.
Summarising events so far - all the non-Slovenians concurred on the core concept being an interesting phenomenon - that they made much faster progress and were much more comfortable speaking Slovenian when there were no Slovenians around.
The problems of low language self-esteem and the arrogant nationalistic cover story of those who imagine, contrary to all reality, that learning Slovene for foreigners is the mirror image of learning English for Slovenes received supporting evidence. A very drunk angry racist village boy in the pub was identified as the archetypal problem in emotive anti-educational pressures.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/ioJWRQkJhs6
Inputs from Quadri- and Quinti-lingual non-Slovenian speakers who were unable to attend the dinner were represented, while native speakers declared the situation somewhat tragicomic and themselves to varying degrees helpless in the absence of an agreed (method of imparting their) language.
Dinner was roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, sesame and onion rice, chick pea/pear/walnut/raisin/onion and pork stuffing with spicy gravy, followed by pear/pineapple/strawberry and ginger flan with no complaints except for one Slovenian who believes garlic is foreign and toxic to him. Among the lighter asides were a photo of a toilet roll display from Tuš which reads "Vikend BUM cena", and reminiscences of a Ljubljana prostitute.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/PmYa8TJaJTj
A fundamental schism between Slovenia and reality was generally accepted by all sides. Next action - form filling - is planned for midweek. Anyone interested in attending future meetings or hosting an informal dinner please contact the organisers on najskapati@gmail.com don't worry you're already reading those.

SMOOTH NEW GOVT. MARKETING APPROACH
CONTINUOUS TINKLING IS THE KEY
Following a disappointing run of disappearing Education Ministers - the last one copied her exams https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/eHEBacGJ5gs and the one before used her brains to make too much money https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/c6D4a2nKh9y - new nominee Maja Makovec BrenÄŤiÄŤ promises calmer waters.
The new Minister will be accompanied 24/7 by some of the most unobtrusive lounge jazz known to mankind.
To assist her in her educational duties, ga. BrenÄŤiÄŤ will be attended at all times by continuous tinkling.
Characterless, mostly-midrange speakers have been installed throughout the National Assembly building, while for her inaugural address an exceptionally bland chord progression has been specially supplied by the Otis Corporation.
In this milk-and-water land where vapid drivel holds sway, competition for insipidness is tame. Recent years have seen several musical upsets in Slovenian politics.

Vowing to act as a tonic to every part of the system, the marketing guru believes dispassionately that her thumb-twiddling musical backdrop can successfully deliver highly profitable morose staring at the ceiling to every classroom clockwatcher (see video).
Transforming the entire country into a hotel lobby will not be easy. It will be very easy - with the dissonance-free audio-loop equivalent of Valium addiction dripping into every school and sports facility, and round-the-clock muzak for beauty spots, hospitals, unemployment offices, police stations, courtrooms, and jails to follow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5PvBzDlZGs
As a counter-revolutionary measure unusual keys, and edgy chords such as 7ths, will be forbidden on government property. To prevent offence all unsentimental lyrics and tunes over 60bpm will be banned.
Any teacher found attempting to explain in five minutes anything which could be stretched to 45 hours, or which everyone doesn't think is obvious already, will be struck off.
To guarantee the absence of boat- or any other kind of rocking, all playlists will have to be personally signed off by Miro The Muzak-Maker.
Commencing her bland-athon, ga. BrenÄŤiÄŤ struck up the mood-music with an astonishing disclosure: she thinks that knowledge is an extremely important value and it must be accessible to all as much as possible. "I think that this is something what [sic] we must believe in and strongly strive for," she ventured, according to that great organ of learning The Slovenia Times. http://is.gd/bLcZB4

HIGH NICKIN' COUP
Laško in pill form -
A Jewish conspiracy?
The future's E-brew.
National interest numero uno goes Dutch as Heineken buys 51% of Slovenian brewer Pivovarno Laško, where the story of alco-tycoonery has ended, say managers.
http://www.zurnal24.si/pivovarno-lasko-kupil-heineken-clanek-248463
Former Director Boško Šrot's missus is to receive €873,000 from the sale. She has at least the remainder of his five year eight month sentence to spend it, and possibly longer if he gets extra jail time for alco-tycoonery at Slovenian brewer Pivovarno Laško, where the story of alco-tycoonery has ended.

A GORDIAN...NOT
Some English perhaps? But they blew me
Off, Ljudske univerze Ptuj.
Couldn't speak the lingo -
Which you can't learn there, though:
No speak English. Just Serb-o, or HU-ey.
The People's University of Ptuj seemed a bit worried by the idea of being flooded by a real English immigrant in town.
I couldn't get any money out of them. They were too busy starting a pub-grumble, about the English not even speaking Slovene.
Slovene lessons were available at PUP - for speakers of Hungarian, Bosnian, or Serbo-Croat, they said - but Slovene lessons were not available for the English...
"English - verified 90 hours - 470 euros"
- PUP prices 2014-2015
"The [Gordian] knot may have been a religious knot-cipher guarded by Gordian/Midas's priests and priestesses."
- Wikipedia
PUP's ex-Director went on to become Slovenia's champion downhill fastest-ever Slovenian in the ministerial ladies' resignation. Klavdija passed the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport resigning post in only three days, during which it was miraculously discovered that she had copied another pupil's essay.
https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/eHEBacGJ5gs
For her three day engagement she will receive six months' ex-ministerial pay, which will weigh against the extra she will have been overpaid if her degree is annulled. In Slovenia, proving your brains can be tough on your knees.
Failed secondary school? Don't fret. You can get a special Matura at these places, something involving economics.
The whole thing's only five grand and you don't have to worry about plagiarism or cheating as you don't have to do any classes or exams. It is an Alexandrian solution. Or perhaps more of a tincture.
Since PUP couldn't help me, I designed my own free Slovene lesson in English:

A long enough article in the Slovenian academic style
EDUCASHIN NEWS: BAD MARKEĹ˝ AT SCHOOL
To ensure the future of democracy in Slovenia, the first thing any opposition party does immediately upon the appointment of a new minister is to check to see if they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis.
Rather too often, they did. So much so, that you might think the first thing any government party would do before appointing a new minister is check to see if they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis.
Both former Maribor Mayor Franc Kangler and MP Borut Ambrožič cut-and-pasted their degree thesis and were caught. SDS leader Janša plagiarised Tony Blair in a speech.
Locally the Director of the Ptuj Hospital was accused. However our previous SDS MP Branko MariniÄŤ did not plagiarise anything...as someone else took his German exam for him.
He had not been there and done that. Instead he was done. There. Er beendet.
Leaders such as former PM Alenka The Legs immediately upon appointment looked like they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis, but the government's credibility was so low it was decided immediately upon appointment that any suggestion about a Prime Minister, that they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis, in her case about sweaty clothing, would be incompatible with the future of democracy in Slovenia and it was quickly proved she hadn't.
A common problem with a degree thesis is filling the required amount of space as if the space required to be filled is not filled in the required manner it may appear that you have not studied hard enough or done enough studying, as shown by the amount of space filled or, in the case of space left empty, not.
I remember at school it was important to fill two sides of paper with your essay even if there wasn't really that much to say, and that was a special burden on me as I had really small thin handwriting. That is, by using really big fat handwriting, and bigger fatter spaces between the words, some others could write longer essays even though they wrote less.
Nowadays, those whose ministerial career may only last a few hours before their opponents claim they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis will have typed it, and so it is typed, and the words can be counted by word-counting software which enumerates the number of words typed, by the student typing the thesis, so it is harder than ever, in terms of difficulty, to produce enough bloat, which leads to a lot of argumentum ad verbosum, especially in asswipe subjects like economics, whose foggy notions will be ever welcomed by a bloated education sector, and those who have somehow made it in Slovenia who cut-and-pasted their degree thesis but say things in their degree thesis cut-and-pasted in different orders often nowadays find themselves arguing with the findings of plagiarism software, designed to detect plagiarism on computers, that although the result may give the impression they cut-and-pasted great swathes of text down to the last punctuation mark, and 95% of their references, it is all just an astronomical coincidence.
Our new Education Minister's first task should be to rewrite the law on plagiarism-detecting software to make it clear that 37% plagiarism is not plagiarism when done in such a fashion that it merely repeats known facts which have already been explained perfectly well by whoever's thesis you are copying.
It's good that software exists to read these things though as the contents are mostly too boring for humans to do it. Our new Education Minister's 2005 plagiarism of Jernej Ladinik's 2002 thesis concerns "the impact of European Union Structural Funds in the development of the region of the Drava region".

Faced with a problem of there not being enough to say, how about finding something more complicated to write about?
No. Educapitalism can only get richer by dividing the mysteries of life into smaller portions, and charging more and more to divulge the secrets of less and less. Big, oldfashioned subjects with real facts in them tend to spoil the teachers' game: on some confined topic, you must write more than is necessary, and of course in a different way, but without changing the meaning of what you've been advised to say. Too similar, and you're a plagiarist. But to express yourself in too original a way means you have got it wrong ...teacher will be displeased and you will have to buy some more education.
Bloating text in Slovene meets a mixture of natural accident and physical challenge, with its economical inflective acrobatics, rude, abrupt manner, and panoply of wordlets making for high word counts but low page counts on the one hand, and its quaint Victorian syntax and endless rambling sub-clauses spawning impossible-to-follow bloat on the other.
For those approaching middle-age who have finally cut-and-pasted their degree thesis and passed, it is time to visit prospective employers who cut-and-pasted their degree thesis, who will want to know if you are good enough to make money for them. When you go for your interview, remember that your interviewer is in a better position to hide the fact that they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis than you. Remember that they have worked hard to acquire the special assessment skills needed, such as glaring at you over their spectacles, and sitting behind a big desk in a better chair than yours. Just relax. As long as you are related or can do the sexual favours (or both) your paper qualifications will suffice even though you're both fairly average morons.
Having spent so long in education you are completely obedient to authority and just as wary of original thinking as you are of the copying. Your behavioural processing - into a conflicted rat lured through a maze of mixed administrative punishments and dubious future rewards - is complete. Just don't get cheeky and threaten to challenge the interviewer's own actual knowledge, or you could be out of the door.
Consequently in Slovenia, experts in mediocrity are in charge of just about everything. In employment, as in education, what they do not want is people WHO THINK WITH THEIR EYES - only with their EARS.
To excel at mediocrity grow an extra one. While you interact normally with your main ear, your auxiliary ear listens out for backstabbers.

EDUCASHIN NEWS: BAD MARKEĹ˝ AT SCHOOL
To ensure the future of democracy in Slovenia, the first thing any opposition party does immediately upon the appointment of a new minister is to check to see if they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis.
Rather too often, they did. So much so, that you might think the first thing any government party would do before appointing a new minister is check to see if they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis.
Both former Maribor Mayor Franc Kangler and MP Borut Ambrožič cut-and-pasted their degree thesis and were caught. SDS leader Janša plagiarised Tony Blair in a speech.
Locally the Director of the Ptuj Hospital was accused. However our previous SDS MP Branko MariniÄŤ did not plagiarise anything...as someone else took his German exam for him.
He had not been there and done that. Instead he was done. There. Er beendet.
Leaders such as former PM Alenka The Legs immediately upon appointment looked like they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis, but the government's credibility was so low it was decided immediately upon appointment that any suggestion about a Prime Minister, that they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis, in her case about sweaty clothing, would be incompatible with the future of democracy in Slovenia and it was quickly proved she hadn't.
A common problem with a degree thesis is filling the required amount of space as if the space required to be filled is not filled in the required manner it may appear that you have not studied hard enough or done enough studying, as shown by the amount of space filled or, in the case of space left empty, not.
I remember at school it was important to fill two sides of paper with your essay even if there wasn't really that much to say, and that was a special burden on me as I had really small thin handwriting. That is, by using really big fat handwriting, and bigger fatter spaces between the words, some others could write longer essays even though they wrote less.
Nowadays, those whose ministerial career may only last a few hours before their opponents claim they cut-and-pasted their degree thesis will have typed it, and so it is typed, and the words can be counted by word-counting software which enumerates the number of words typed, by the student typing the thesis, so it is harder than ever, in terms of difficulty, to produce enough bloat, which leads to a lot of argumentum ad verbosum, especially in asswipe subjects like economics, whose foggy notions will be ever welcomed by a bloated education sector, and those who have somehow made it in Slovenia who cut-and-pasted their degree thesis but say things in their degree thesis cut-and-pasted in different orders often nowadays find themselves arguing with the findings of plagiarism software, designed to detect plagiarism on computers, that although the result may give the impression they cut-and-pasted great swathes of text down to the last punctuation mark, and 95% of their references, it is all just an astronomical coincidence.
Our new Education Minister's first task should be to rewrite the law on plagiarism-detecting software to make it clear that 37% plagiarism is not plagiarism when done in such a fashion that it merely repeats known facts which have already been explained perfectly well by whoever's thesis you are copying.
It's good that software exists to read these things though as the contents are mostly too boring for humans to do it. Our new Education Minister's 2005 plagiarism of Jernej Ladinik's 2002 thesis concerns "the impact of European Union Structural Funds in the development of the region of the Drava region".
It is a subject on which unique thinking is hard to conceive. I've lived in the region of that region since 2005. What has been the impact of these Structural Funds? How do these academics differ on that?

MIDDLING ENGLISH

It's amazing what you can do without with a few prepositions. Modern English does without the instrumental case, which had virtually vanished by the time any surviving texts came into existence.
Slovene, as well as Russian, Sanskrit, Greek, Czech, Armenian, Hungarian, Finnish and Nahuatl, among others, still enjoy an instrumental case. So there's no need to feel lonely.
With what, then, could it be better to serenade Slovenia's Renaissance and the now fatherless and therefore somewhat miraculous gestation of the AB Fab Party than my (I'm sure truly awful) Old-to-Middle-English-om?
It's based on the 15th century pop hit "I syng of a mayden", about an archangel's famous involvement in (and it has to be said, subsequent abandonment of) a well-known single-parent family.
Honestly, some people will believe anything! But hey, pop lyrics are usually nonsense so little has changed.
Slovenian bond yields are getting a good press at the moment: perhaps it is time to expand and complicate Slovene grammar yet further with a financial instrumental case.
Old English had a base-12 numerical system which makes billions rather difficult. "Twelve" comes from the Proto-Germanic "twa-lif" = "two left", something else Slovenian political parties might consider taking a look at.
Meanwhile, Slovenia's pushing on with yet another sort of cult-of-personality party.
How will this one go, I wonder?
Other Renaissance popular heroes included Hamlet, Romeo, Don Quixote, and Doctor Faustus. Hmmm...

FORMER PM TO BE BURNED AT THE STAKE
Heresy was proven although detail is somewhat lacking - following the police probe into her unsuccessful attempt to promote herself the hell out of Slovenia as the EU's Energy Commissioner.
It is understood Bratušek broke down and confessed to ambition after being shown articles about her being Prime Minister. She will be publicly incinerated in front of an invited audience of grindcore fans. Baked potatoes.

REVIVED WITH CPR AT THE NATIONAL POETRY ARCHIVE
And joj verily, in the end-marches of Alenka The Legs, even as the Slovenian electorate stampeded towards the Anointed Emperor-in-Waiting Cerar The Peacebringer in a desperate-for-any-novelty kind of a way, of policies the voters heard no thing.
For his enthronement owed much to his silence. And a peaceful silence fell upon the comments columns of The Slovenia Times by the next full moon. NPOSIALPU among others foresaw The Plague of The Vague, in this political don't-be-a-ho-hymn from July 2014, dedicated to Miro I.
KRAMBERGER'S-BELIEF CROCKED-JEALOUSY THEORY
Quintessential new broom remains shtum,
Wouldn't stick out in unfurnished room.
Don't protrude - else the voter
Turns on you like a Rotar -
Jealous of the attention - kaboom.
In Slovenia whom you vote for is determined by (1) Whom the polls say you will vote for, and (2) Which of those whom the polls say you will vote for is the most utterly faceless and least dissonant with the narrow-minded prejudices you possess.
So for candidates, electioneering in Slovenia is a tricky one, something like trying to please Daily Mail readers on coke.
The dangers of being too interesting are all too real.
A glimpse at Slovenia's JFK moment shows why...with jealous drunk Slovenian perceptions in square brackets:
1992: in Jurovski Dol - population 361 - a drunk huntin-shootin-fishin-type living with his mother notices something unusual happening in the street [beady-eyed alert] involving someone not-from-around-here [instant suspicion].
Ivan Kramberger is from the distant village of Negova 17.9km away - population 329 - [this foreigner is attracting a crowd's attention for some reason].
Popular [if I stop him being popular I will be more popular] eccentric [look at him drawing attention to himself - we hate that] generous [puzzled rage?!] entrepreneur inventor [look at this rich smartass], back from Germany with long hair and wearing unusual attire [extrovert behaviour = gay = pedophile] makes popular speech [people are listening to him - something must be done about this] accompanied by a monkey [clearly a foreign plot to take over Slovenia].
For the sake of historical accuracy I should point out that the monkey was not present on this occasion, having herself been assassinated with a butcher's knife some months previously. A note attached to the monkey predicted Kramberger would suffer the same fate.
But this didn't happen. Instead the normal unsuccessful blind-drunk 42-year-old Slovenian villager who lived with his mother shot the abnormal attention-seeking unusual-looking philanthropist dead from the window of his mother's house.
That's it. No grand political divide. No conspiracy - although the Slovenian internet milks this for all it isn't worth. He simply got shot by some jealous narrow-minded drunk with rather more sophisticated weaponry than shooting rabbits/being drunk might deem sensible.
And now the important part of this story. For Slovenians, locked within their tiny conceptual, linguistic and media landscape, this means the assassination is "shrouded in mystery".
So you can sort of see why Mr Cerar kept his (perhaps armoured) cards close to his chest until he was safely elected...safe for 123 days anyway, as Maribor SMC has now left the SMC.
Shooter Peter Rotar got 12 years. 22 years later, attempts to erect a monument to Kramberger in Jurovski Dol were put on hold by the mayor after protests from a resident, who threatens to deal with any statue visible from the window of his mother's house - by blowing it up.
And the name of this politically involved citizen? Peter Rotar.

SHOPPING IN SLOVENIA
...the surreal world of Slovenian prices
BARRATORS' PENULTIMATE FLEEING OLIGARCHS' CIRCUS OF HELL-KU
Lakeside of tar...mate....................................
De Mon stands guard. Locked display..................
...........................................| They've one square of L |
Slovenia has a point in not seeing any point in anyone competing over its domestic market.
The difference is not between the ripoff prices of state monopolies and those of the economically viably-sized near-monopolies which will inevitably follow, but between the real world as seen on the internet and the dreamlike world of Slovenian retail.
The Walls of Jericho here are the Slovene language, which doesn't seem to be planning a mass escape over the border any time soon (and is smugly resilient to outside probing) and western Europe's most extreme future shock.
Let's shop in Slovenia. Suppose we are learning to drive, and we want to buy some L-plates. You might think the first thing you need to do is translate "learner" and armed with the word "uÄŤenec" go looking for some U-plates.
But you would be wrong to assume anything. Walls can collapse in surprising ways. Learner drivers need L-plates in Slovenia, bearing the letter L - although no Slovene word for "learner" begins with L.
With a stiff drink local drivers can accept this Anglo-hegemony; luckily for their vendors, L-plates are compulsory as well as a good idea.
In that UK high street with its €8.91/hour minimum wage you might shell out as much as £5 (€6.86) for a set of fancy magnetic ones.
http://www.halfords.com/motoring/travel-accessories/learning-to-drive/halfords-magnetic-learner-driver-plates-x3
Or just go for the cheap sticky/tie-on learner plates for 85p (€1.17)...
http://www.wilko.com/car-accessories/wilko-l-plates-2pk/invt/0011545
But in Slovenia things are, inevitably, more concentrated and complicated. You might go looking for magnetno zeleno tablico L or something like that - you would not get many results, the first being the local online auction site with a price of €10.
http://www.bolha.com/iskanje?q=l-magnetna-tablica
Experienced hotel guests will recognise a certain uncertainty over whether this is the price for one or two. You really need to know your endings for six cases, three genders and five numbers to be reasonably sure - if the sellers themselves have got the endings right. The locals may get quite confused about -s meaning more than one in English - and offended if you arrive ready to pay less than twice what you expected.
In Slovenia, what you have to do in these situations is stop and study the endings used this time, and steer clear of any easy preconceptions about, for example, L-plates coming in pairs. Frustrating blithe expectations about normality is where Slovenia makes its money.
In this auction ad, we have -a and -o endings. Prodam magnetno tablico-L - I'm selling it/them, this says.
The -o suggests it/they are either the gender Slovene does not remember it has - neuter, or possibly male. From this you know it is definitely single, featureless, generic, and the same as all the others.
The problem is, someone is doing something (selling), while the L-plate(s) is/are having that done to it/them -all at the same time as we are trying to find out how many there are.
The L-plate(s) ought to be in the accusative, we might assume. On the other hand the heading L MAGNETNA TABLICA, which is verbless, points to a female thing, again singular.
A further possibility concerns the "ownership" of the magnetism by the plate or plates, with a genitive ending. Well I know it isn't this. But is it one, or two?
At this point you may ask a local. They will simply shrug and ask where you are from, how long you have been in Slovenia, and for any information you possess which might enable them to get money. I personally prefer to believe in -e or -i endings with pairs of things.
Remember, you WANT it to be two, but here Slovenia wants you to want that too. To me it looks certain there's only one L-plate here. This is strongly corroborated by the fact that this would be the biggest ripoff. You can always use this method to determine the truth when choices like this are presented. Maybe it blew off and the guy found it. Or his other one did, and this is what he has left.
Yes, readers, he's selling one L-plate. His idea of a second-hand price for it is between 2.92 and 32.26 times the price in Halfords and Wilkinsons respectively.
And he - the guy - has this L-plate, he in fact leads this particular market in Slovenia in his online presence, and he sees no damn reason not to capitalise on his advantage. And, I might add, this is a regular thing.
And we can see such sellers claim the same item is €14 at AMZS, a likely source for L-plates in Slovenia. That must mean AMZS U-plošč are 4.07 times safer than Halfords' - and 45.16 times more legally compliant than Wilkos' unmagnetic rubbish-coloured UK ones.
The UK uses red to try to warn other drivers; but Slovenia uses green, to try to calm them down.
With these prices you can see why.
You try to shop around. AMZS have no Google results for L-plates themselves - are they really selling them individually too, or is the seller being as disingenuous as his language will allow? To find out, I tried various expressions and endings...to no avail.
But then, AMZS probably figure, what Slovenian would need to search that?

Experienced hotel guests will recognise a certain uncertainty over whether this is the price for one or two. You really need to know your endings for six cases, three genders and five numbers to be reasonably sure - if the sellers themselves have got the endings right. The locals may get quite confused about -s meaning more than one in English - and offended if you arrive ready to pay less than twice what you expected.
In Slovenia, what you have to do in these situations is stop and study the endings used this time, and steer clear of any easy preconceptions about, for example, L-plates coming in pairs. Frustrating blithe expectations about normality is where Slovenia makes its money.
In this auction ad, we have -a and -o endings. Prodam magnetno tablico-L - I'm selling it/them, this says.
The -o suggests it/they are either the gender Slovene does not remember it has - neuter, or possibly male. From this you know it is definitely single, featureless, generic, and the same as all the others.
The problem is, someone is doing something (selling), while the L-plate(s) is/are having that done to it/them -all at the same time as we are trying to find out how many there are.
The L-plate(s) ought to be in the accusative, we might assume. On the other hand the heading L MAGNETNA TABLICA, which is verbless, points to a female thing, again singular.
A further possibility concerns the "ownership" of the magnetism by the plate or plates, with a genitive ending. Well I know it isn't this. But is it one, or two?
At this point you may ask a local. They will simply shrug and ask where you are from, how long you have been in Slovenia, and for any information you possess which might enable them to get money. I personally prefer to believe in -e or -i endings with pairs of things.
Remember, you WANT it to be two, but here Slovenia wants you to want that too. To me it looks certain there's only one L-plate here. This is strongly corroborated by the fact that this would be the biggest ripoff. You can always use this method to determine the truth when choices like this are presented. Maybe it blew off and the guy found it. Or his other one did, and this is what he has left.
Yes, readers, he's selling one L-plate. His idea of a second-hand price for it is between 2.92 and 32.26 times the price in Halfords and Wilkinsons respectively.
And he - the guy - has this L-plate, he in fact leads this particular market in Slovenia in his online presence, and he sees no damn reason not to capitalise on his advantage. And, I might add, this is a regular thing.
And we can see such sellers claim the same item is €14 at AMZS, a likely source for L-plates in Slovenia. That must mean AMZS U-plošč are 4.07 times safer than Halfords' - and 45.16 times more legally compliant than Wilkos' unmagnetic rubbish-coloured UK ones.
The UK uses red to try to warn other drivers; but Slovenia uses green, to try to calm them down.
With these prices you can see why.
You try to shop around. AMZS have no Google results for L-plates themselves - are they really selling them individually too, or is the seller being as disingenuous as his language will allow? To find out, I tried various expressions and endings...to no avail.
But then, AMZS probably figure, what Slovenian would need to search that?
One of many verses deemed unfit for public exposure by The Slovenia Times under the Great Hush of Miro, it previously dwelt at:

Well, about time. The shortage of beaver in Slovenia has been nothing short of scandalous.
The main problem is the fishy taste, but this is confined to the fish part of the animal, i.e. the tail. You can chop that off and sell it to the blind as ox tongue. Or fish. Hell, they'll never know. Skin and eviscerate the rodent bit, ram a stick through it, and it's ready for that barbeque. Substitute for expensive venison in golaĹľ, or any dish where you usually use a squirrel.
Responding to the success of "Bober Kuharska knjiga", the Archbishop of Ljubljana warned against falling prey to the sin of "easy beaver" and is in emergency sessions with the Ministry of Chicken to remind you all about the moral hazards of the Slovenian beaver glut.
In the resulting intervention to save the economy, the retail value of bouillon cubes is jumping to €5 each from next full moon.
The official black market price will be €3, and €2,50 for the ones with the sawdust.
The Slovenian beaver will be nationalised - as soon as the right owners can be found.

HUGE PINUS EQUIPMENT SALE
An interesting looking collection of reactor vessels, tanks, pumps, instruments and other chemical gear for catalytic trans-esterification from Bio Goriva d.o.o., which shares an address, email and website with its co-founder the Pinus insecticide factory near Maribor Airport www.mariborairport.si
It all started innocently enough with lots of pictures of yellow fields. BG slid away from its Pinus developers in 2008. But inexplicably for a company 25% owned by a firm called Petrol it failed to spark a rapeseed revolution among Balkan boy racers. In hectare terms, Slovenia has four times more vineyards than rape. This reflects local priorities, and the intentions of Pinus flopped.
If recent auctions (see below) are anything to go by, hundreds of lots of mysterious Pinus equipment could be going nowhere, as is usually the case here. Bio Goriva (Bio Fuels) was bankrupted by its exasperated employees, who had demanded to get paid or they'd cause trouble.
Why did they demand special treatment? Is anyone in Slovenia really completely sure they'll get paid next month?
Pinus has a sort of English website: "Our basic principle - sound company relations, HR development, and employees' satisfaction - results in the successful company's performance today and as well in the future too."
In their employee satisfactions Bio Goriva and Pinus are like oil and water, separating out. I hope the unpaid workers get to snap up a toplotni izmenjevalec or a fazni loÄŤevalnik for a song, and they should safely stow such items in their barns until the globe is completely fracked from the equator to the poles, in case they suddenly become valuable again.
The auction starts at 1430 on February 16, at RaÄŤe.

Another victim of Slovenistan's overborrowed, bankrupt casinos and family-friendly banks, this freshly vandalised hotel is believed to be among "the most beautiful in the country".
Could there be a British or American buyer willing to step in and save Slovenia's architectural heritage, perhaps by dismantling and re-erecting it in some out-of-the-way spot needing something to attract tourists, like Arizona's London Bridge?

Just as Americans go a bit la-la about anything British, maybe somewhere in the steppes of Kazakhstan there are die-hard enthusiasts of the socialist realist style, for whom a repositioned Hotel Kanin would work magic. Whoever these might be, the building should match the beauty of its surroundings. So it really ought to be moved. And mind that asbestos.
A carefully chosen location will be needed to ensure the new blends with the slightly less new. It seems to me the M8 is very short of services and missing just such a contemporary facility

RAISED FROM THE DEPTHS:
PRET-A-PORTIER
Fulfilling his obligation to serenade management fiascos NPOSIALPU commemorated the outbreak of civil war in Ljubljana over this job opportunity with a new version of Walt Whitman's metaphorical sea-ode. http://is.gd/NncKfy
In the end political appointee Gašpar Gašpar Mišič lasted eight months. Luxuriant sideburns would have enhanced his authority, as would have a big top hat. For verse two read the last paragraph in the ST story: http://www.sloveniatimes.com/management-fiasco-in-port-of-koper
O KOPER! MY KOPER!
O Koper! my Koper! Mišič is what you've won;
Positively screwed from back, your engine stuck on 1;
No porty training, yet job gains, political tongues melting,
Politicising pier review by muscles, new hat wearing:
Split apart! port! port!
So EU pays instead
Sausage denies flies' squeaky cries
'Bout stuck-on cirriped.
O Koper! my Koper! this English is a thrill;
Cock up — this article's well-hung — you have the biggest balls;
Your huge clockweights, dangling between crowds of containers cubic;
We learned muscles ought to divide the public from the pubic;
Dear Koper! They'd rather
Go t'other way instead;
Land at Trieste, so they can get
Interesting food, soft bed.
It's Koper's Mišič showtime: star treads boards, karst and kruh,
Sat on the dock, in labour's pay, his plan is beautiful;
His ship is parked, basking like shark, politicking done gone;
His long strange partnership ahead with sausages and sun;
Result, I'm sure, on thing, oh well!
My advice, what to do,
Import all Trieste's cakes and pies -
And mind the seagull poo.

COMEDY QUICKSAND: Is this joke preserved in Slovene? The problem is Google Translate doesn't tell me if "narisal" would be applicable to non-artistic gunplay, or whether it should be "potegnil".
I won't get an answer if I ask around: the drunks will just start shouting at each other, while multinational information corporation Google leaves the issue equally unresolved.
My guess is it's another laugh missed for the melancholy locals.

SLOVÉNIE NE VEUT PAS ÊTRE UN CHARLIE
Avec leur humour faible et les craintes d'auto-limitation Slovènes n'ont pas besoin d'anti-satiriques fous extrémistes islamiques.
La Slovénie peut attaquer la liberté d'expression sans aide étrangère - prouvant une fois encore, elle peut faire rien sans aide ... sauf se rire de elle-même.
Nationaliste paranoïa et une langue rigide, trop directe, à court d'insinuations, sont soupçonnés, et il sont en fuite.
Un tas de poésie nationale - particulièrement dangereuse car elle n'était pas en slovène - à été effacé des commentaires de The Slovenia Times lorsque le gouvernement présente est arrivé au pouvoir.
Slovénie, alors, est un de ces pays européens qui est trop drôle pour des mots - pour miens, de toute façon. Depuis lors, le journal de langue anglaise de la Slovénie n'a été pas tellement intéressé par les commentaires des lecteurs.
Comme si ces dommages au patrimoine national de la poésie de la Slovénie ne suffisait pas (heureusement 95% a été préservée) les autorités de la presse ont également été étouffent les tentatives de leurs propres lecteurs à l'écriture.
Participation du publique sur le site du plus grand quotidien tabloïd de langue slovenienne Slovenske Novice était suspendu pour la durée de la crise des migrants.
C'est ma contribution majeure à l'écriture slovène - révélant (je crois) que la Slovénie est trop brumeux autour de son propre réalité, et trop vulnérables aux bathos, pour permettre la satire que l'on connaît.

This helpful advice to Slovenia's biggest bank on how they got their sums wrong when adding 6.5% to something was disappeared from the commentary of The Slovenia Times in the reign of Emperor Miro...
nlb's arithmetic...and some arithmetic
NICE LITTLE BONUS
Paid to pay, now the state will connive:
Pay to pay to pay, add six point five!
But this one point nine three
Mentioned proves actually
More than seven per cent will arrive.
Don't take a poet's word for it when it comes to the arithmetic of the great Slovenian bill-payment ripoff - you can work it out yourself using the formula:
New bank charge to you for them using your own money to make a profit for themselves overnight
----------------divided by------------------
Old bank charge to you for using your own money to make a profit for themselves overnight
or 1.93 / 1.8
= 1.07222
i.e. an increase of 7.222%
Based on the government's anticipated receipts from the government banks of 35m euros, if they all base their increases on NLB's "non-profit" calculation the banks should make another 237350 euros from not increasing the charge for using your own bill money to make a profit for themselves overnight, as 1.07222 / 1.065 x 35000000 = 35237350

...And when they were down they were down.
When a local pub changed hands and auctioned off some of its bits and pieces for a few euros, several imbibers did gather in search of mementoes to a repeatedly forgotten era. On normal days they were always shouting and waving their arms about.
However come the auction, which was conducted in a slightly embarrassed, hushed mumble, it seemed every item - if sold at all - went for the maiden bid.
Revealingly, publicly valuing something more highly than your neighbour was clearly alien to the crowd's temperament.
Assertiveness, competition, confidence in one's own judgement, and being the first are all strictly sublimated into sporty categories, and do not feature in Slovenia's misbehavioural economics phenomenon.
Nobody tried to offer less than the first ask, the most reserved thing being the audience. It was obvious no-one had ever seen a live auction. If they did know what they were supposed to do, they were too shy to show it. Pretty weird.
No Slovenian attendees, then, for the attempted disposal of this crumbling ski resort. With only one non-bidder, had only the official receiver offered to accept rubles, and maybe the Russians (and the vendors) might have seen some point.

Ptuj weather 1900hrs:
To commemorate this historic day Perutnina Ptuj has released a Special Edition of the Town Smell. As befits such occasions, I am releasing the following national poem as part of the ongoing festival Days of Poetry and Ptuj's Chicken Factory Smell.
Like both of today's releases, this poem is highly technical, and I advise you to study the rendering processes of the poultry industry if you want to become more deeply immersed in the topic, or alternatively you could just buy my house.
KIBBLER ŽAN
Mmm...wanna glue a kibbler, Žan?
No? State, try chicken dome decree...
100% Slovenian-made
That on a smelly murky day'd
Seal in morbid aroma.
Could I remind again thee:
Nerve it's gone on so long,
Too much! Even at night! Begin the
Hut with ducting for your pong.
Once you've filled that dome your air
Stays in! Those who smell only spice
And all their herd should stay in there,
And all should cry, It's just not fair!
Eyes in their tears, feet in their hair!
Weave with cyclone all smells thrice,
Enclose your bits of poultry dead -
Grand flunk your stink test: pay the price.
And the price during the festival Days of Poetry and Ptuj's Chicken Factory Smell is of course one poem publication per smell experience (1 poem/day max.)
Slovenians are very intelligent. I bet they'd do anything to keep my poultry poetry paltry. The way I recommend is to stop Perutnina Ptuj's routine pollution. If you achieve "zeroma" I'll try not to be offended.
Of course no-one wants to go near it. That's the whole point about not sending it out here!
http://survivingthesheep.com/how-to-butcher-your-own-poultry/
Kibbler. Xian's. Probably.

FROM THE ARCHIVE:
ERASED NATIONAL POETRY OF SLOVENIA
nposialpu notes the latest non-division between Church and State...
EXTRA! EXCISE XMAS: TRIAL OF THE BALLOON NUN
NSi on the alcohol scene: - "Whoa!
One more thing we can't count is the vino.
Hell! Blood group?? - we're unable
To put this on the label,
Or comply with Instruction 650."
Christian winos! Are you breaking man's law with wine labelling, or are you potentially denying the existence of God by not labelling correctly?
According to the doctrine of transubstantiation, the ingredients of bread and wine used in the Eucharist are prone to changes when they become the body and blood of Christ the Saviour.
Please don't forget that a lot of people have fought and died in pan-European schisms about this one. NSi supporters, please avoid heresy: the wine becomes blood not merely symbolically - but in reality!
EU regulations on the packaging and transport of biological samples will therefore apply.
Like Slovenia's candles, much home produced wine is a religious black market item, often supplied to believers under the table.
The correct labelling, when handling potentially hazardous post-Eucharistic blood-containing wines, must contain the texts “Biological Material, Category B”, and the identification number “UN 3373”.
The Dangerous Goods “YES” box must be ticked. You should forget the idea of selling religious wines in duty-free airport stores unless wrapped in compliance with ICAO/IATA Packing Instruction 650.
Sufficient absorbent packing must be used to contain any leakage of dangerous blood-contaminated wine specimens - which if released into the environment could give rise to infectious optimism, philosophical laziness, and liver disease.
Do not end up getting prosecuted for tax evasion like Jesus. The name and telephone number of a “responsible person” must be written on the consignment note or on the package.
Let purveyors of wines - any of which might be transformed - render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and adhere to international biohazard regulations.

Hell! Blood group?? - we're unable
To put this on the label,
Or comply with Instruction 650."
Christian winos! Are you breaking man's law with wine labelling, or are you potentially denying the existence of God by not labelling correctly?
According to the doctrine of transubstantiation, the ingredients of bread and wine used in the Eucharist are prone to changes when they become the body and blood of Christ the Saviour.
Please don't forget that a lot of people have fought and died in pan-European schisms about this one. NSi supporters, please avoid heresy: the wine becomes blood not merely symbolically - but in reality!
EU regulations on the packaging and transport of biological samples will therefore apply.
Like Slovenia's candles, much home produced wine is a religious black market item, often supplied to believers under the table.
The correct labelling, when handling potentially hazardous post-Eucharistic blood-containing wines, must contain the texts “Biological Material, Category B”, and the identification number “UN 3373”.
The Dangerous Goods “YES” box must be ticked. You should forget the idea of selling religious wines in duty-free airport stores unless wrapped in compliance with ICAO/IATA Packing Instruction 650.
Sufficient absorbent packing must be used to contain any leakage of dangerous blood-contaminated wine specimens - which if released into the environment could give rise to infectious optimism, philosophical laziness, and liver disease.
Do not end up getting prosecuted for tax evasion like Jesus. The name and telephone number of a “responsible person” must be written on the consignment note or on the package.
Let purveyors of wines - any of which might be transformed - render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and adhere to international biohazard regulations.

KAMENIK IS A WERTHER ORIGINAL. Note to other teachers unable to work out that they are likely to get filmed if they have sex at work, to smartphone-wielding students about to get blamed by Catholic-type people for suicidal sexy teachers, and to journalists who got their job at trashy papers by whatever means: IF YOU KILL YOURSELF YOU'LL BE DEAD.
Students and Slovenians in general are of course famously stereotypical, herd-like, channeled for political statistical purposes into unindividualistic roles and - to make sure - traditionally required to be pissed out their minds.
All of which factors combine with pop-journalism and the usual pondlife to present a high risk for the Werther Effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copycat_suicide

Slowenisch gesunden Mineralwasser Spaß Fakten, die zusammen mit den meisten meiner Gedichte ging den Bach runter während der Herrschaft von Miro I ...
QUACK-ER-HI-SODIUM-KU
Deutsch Krämpfe, Schwäche?
Bundesministerin fĂĽr
Gesundheit sich sick?
"The aesthetic objective for sodium in drinking water is ≤200 mg/L. The taste of drinking water is generally considered offensive at sodium concentrations above the aesthetic objective."
Canadian tap water has "5.6 mg/L of sodium, as a national median"
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/pubs/water-eau/sodium/index-eng.php
Luckily mineral waters are outside the scope of EU Directive 98/83/EC, so the limit of 200mg/L only applies to tap water
http://is.gd/q9ez1d
According to WHO, "Domestic water softeners can give levels of over 300 mg/litre, but much lower ones are usually found."
http://is.gd/0DTfl6
Do you have a crampy baby? Radenska has sodium 20 times the recommendation for baby formula (Committee on Nutrition of the German Society of Paediatrics) http://is.gd/Tu0RoM
Radenska's sodium concentration is two times German drinking water limits.
Sadly this was still not enough for Radenska founder Karl Henn who committed suicide at Rimske Toplice in 1877 after contracting kidney cancer.
Uranium content of Radenska: no data.
Meanwhile in the world of Slovenian advertising...
"Lack of sodium may result in weakness, illness, muscle cramps and in some cases even break down of vital body functions." (Radenska advert).
Before Slovenia goes purple-faced with indignation let me point out that locally, for safety reasons, Radenksa is usually diluted with pesticide-rich plonk.
So Radenska Classic is not for babies - or anyone, really. Except maybe ducks.
Caveat emptor...

FAMILY HONOUR DESTROYED:
SHAMELESS HUSSY ASKS FOR IT ON NATIONAL TV
Sexual activity involving the former Data Protection Commissioner is featured live on RTV while she is interviewed by a cheap hypnotist.
Ptuj's male experts on sexual ideology assure me there are two types of women in Slovenia where naughtiness is concerned, and this public outrage leaves no doubt in which camp Pirc Musar belongs. What does she expect, hanging around in the streets barefaced and without a relative? RTV should also go to jail. If not for this, then for something.
If Slovenia's double standard is ever going to catch up with Afghanistan's she should obviously be banged up several years for this. The family's honour has been destroyed and this means shame to the end for every Slovenian as they are all related.
Today's re-erected haiku from a year ago vanished under The Great Deletion. It's about Slovenia's non-interest in data privacy matters. This year Slovenia did join in, with some street theatre. http://cybersecuritymonth.eu/ecsm-countries/slovenia - their show doesn't seem to have made it onto the internet so I guess it's secure.
DIOECETES DIOECESANUS, HAEC HOC-KU
Theo-Net-Hoover:
Cyber Security Month
Lost to Moldova.
Like some unpopular kid who doesn't get invited to parties, Slovenia alone among the 27 participating countries has no events in the EU's [2012] European Cyber Security Month.
Presumably the archbishops don't need any advice about staying ahead in the war on cyber crime, or faith in lesser authorities, what with His superior computing power and server load balancing. Even Moldova is more hip, with one conference.
I understand there is a special box connected to the telecoms backbone, where as the Internet leaves Slovenia it can unload all our sins at once in the sanctimony of the confessional. As penance the Internet is then told to say some popups and banner ads, and off it goes on its way, to civilisation.
http://cybersecuritymonth.eu/events
The sex part of the video starts at 3.15 and, in true Slovenian style, ends at 3.17. Perhaps he's a magician, not a hypnotist... Now you see it - now you don't!

As we all know from religion, the more centuries out of touch with reality laws are, and the narrower the group whose interests they serve, the better they must be.
Slovenia's previous Data Protection Commissioner has become fond of the media, where she states that school pupils are committing an offence by filming their teachers having sex at work.
In this she is not entering into moral judgements, merely stating the facts of the law. http://is.gd/l471PI
If Slovenia, like Afghanistan, leaves it to the clergy to stick its nose in everywhere and decide what is right or wrong, I'm sure inappropriate judgements will be avoided.
What Slovenia needs is a court where the maths teacher has to become the headmaster's wife No. 2, or do fifteen years for moral crimes.
To keep things in proportion per Pirc Musar's thinking, the pupils should be stoned to death for making graven images.

From Scargill To Ĺ trukelj...
Went on strike with the Communists,
And I didn’t move up,
Because we weren't Communist.
Went on strike with the Jews,
And I didn’t move up,
Because there weren't any Jews.
Went on strike with the Catholics,
And I didn’t move up,
In fact I actually had to move into a smaller flat and share with my auntie.
Then I went on strike for the union
Thanks to which they got me
This place by the river. Which was nice.
Poem based on http://is.gd/HbhPHa Obviously.

DOMESTIC MURDER-SUICIDE OF THE DAY
What's going on, brothers and sisters? Hardly a week goes by without suicidal drunks - some quite elderly and some with guns - getting overprotective of their overdemanding bitches and not very chilled when they try to go for the freedom ting. The usual routine: if-you're-leaving-we're-all-leaving.
Has Slovenia made the top spot in domestic murder-suicides? International comparisons in this subcategory are hard to locate. But here we are — in second place out of 75 countries for male suicide.
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Suicide-rates/Suicide-rate-%28males%29
Which includes most of the spousal murder-suicides.
However suicidal, readers of Slovenske Novice might be puzzled to learn that with its 32-times bigger population, in the UK:
"From the years 1997–2006, there were on average 12 cases each year of male-on-female homicides that ended in suicide. Official Home Office sources reveal that there are around 100 male-on-female homicides for each year .... this means that only a small percentage—around 10% of these intimate homicides ends in suicide in England and Wales."
http://is.gd/8qJAse
There can be no doubt Slovenia does not have the equivalent of 1/3rd of a domestic murder-suicide per year.
Forget about the murdering and Slovenia beats neighbour Hungary to the top of the charts in suicide for all:
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Crime/Suicide-rates/Suicide-rate-%28both-sexes%29
How to motivate enduring, tolerant partnerships? Invent a hellish alternative... https://plus.google.com/112569714916753901063/posts/ACtGg784dfV
It's maybe better to end it all, after all.

SLOVENGLISH MACHINE TRANSLATION OF THE DAY: COMING TO TERMS
Says popular rag Slovenske Novice:
"Kljub priznanju Ĺľupnika oÄŤitno nekateri ne zmorejo sprejeti dejstva, da je bil priljubljeni Ĺľupnik pedofil."
According to both Google Translate and Mymemory...
"Despite recognizing the priest obviously some are not able to accept the fact that he was popular priest pedophile."
Joj joj joj! Conflation rules!
Meanwhile a shower of off comments try to play it down, both here and in the somewhat more reliable http://is.gd/SIKfuO
There are other pedos who aren't Catholic priests, they helpfully point out, in the interest of balanced PR. How can we know it wasn't consensual with this 13-yo slut, and she is after compensation, while his terrible moment of weakness will be judged before god, it was the alcoholism that made him do it anyway...etc. etc. ...and you end with the extraordinary impression that the translation is indeed EXACTLY what SN meant to say.
To make sure we understand, in the very next sentence the no-longer-teenage victim is denounced and reported to the carabinieri ...for leaving a rude note on a clergyman's car. Don't touch the car!!
It's easy to visualise the whole town ganging up on her to protect Fr. Suard's good reputation, which must not be forgotten, apparently.
Another article prints a letter signed by students. You don't see 95 children rounded up to sing praise to a dead pedophile every day. Part of it comes out like this:
"We appreciate you because you were warm, courageous, sincere person who has always fought for the truth and legality as well, because we transmit the values of national consciousness and love for our language and culture. You are not stopped from obstacles and let it intimidate you by your superiors and always express what you mean. .... You are not a person who wanted broad support and you were not willing to compromise and reconciliation."
Well, yeeesssss... Not sure this is the traditional Slovenian culture they want to be advertising. And "always" is factually wrong, so I hope their educators pick them up on that. Those kids sure acted promptly to produce a good PR moment.
While remarkable for its barefaced sockpuppetry, the students' farewell lacks enough of the crude insensitivity various ideologies have spawned around here to be as funny as SN's own commercially warped angle.
And in fact "popular priest pedophile" agrees exactly with what the original says. Am I missing something here? Is it an adjectival irony deficiency? Isn't popularity's polarity barely obvious in the original? Is Slovene's burbling offhandedness merely in need of stiffer contrast? Or am I simply living among folks who cheer gung-ho for their worshipful local pedo?
Who, it must be added in this instance, has hung hisself a few days after proceedings for sexual assault were begun.
This was seventeen years late - a blink of an eye in the almost motionless Catholic world - when the victim realised her own niece was going to Suard to get a religious education.
She had to go, of course, or the whole damn fetid turned-inward world would crumble like a cheap church in an earthquake. Imagine what would happen to you if you didn't go!
Anyway, he was having problems with his resignation letter, and when the bishop walked in, had done a couple of suicide notes instead.
Probably carefully worded.

The unions protest "aimless" privatisation, the civil service and police unions protest austerity and the latter also feel themselves sidelined by the former. We don't see anything the likes of Crapita on the horizon here in Slo-ven-i-a.
Out of fifteen companies slated for privatisation, four have been sold so far. The Archdiocese of Maribor itself is not one of them. And in the endtimes of Janša II, NPOSIALPU released this now deleted overview concerning unwinding and privatisation prophecies...
SEPTIC-DECIMAL JUVENAL DOGGEREL
Remember JJ and his "black hole" statistical fallacy? (Link 1 below)
Catholic values are super for where once were sixteen quite insolvent firms
A second list, of just fifteen, now exists in whom national interest has to go;
These ones, whacked from the back: Parliamentary Act wants them offed to bad bank on vague terms...
Their money has "gone" just like one sixteenth one: must the biggest loser - God - be saved
Humiliation at the hands of some bankers who don't understand local ways?
Though we must not assume, in a fire sale prelude, only empty shells will we include:
Zvon Ena and Dva are in court with Hilda, thus their sell-off's delayed - who'll be blamed?
What a shame Slovenia's so quiet about the Diocese of Maribor in regard to the straightening out of the country's finances.
With its great experience at spying on the population, its fight against liberalism both economic and personal, its centuries of lying - see http://www.maria.si/cathocatharsis - its great experience in ill-treatment and suicide, and its collection of stolen fascist gold - http://is.gd/nex6T6 - the Vatican is ripe for privatisation.
Perhaps groups such as Corrections Corporation of America or Serco would be interested in bidding for this defunct business entity?
As JJ's sixteen insolvencies share some similarities with the fifteen squiffy companies the government is trying not very hard to sell off, I was aiming here for a verse in dactylic hexameters in the style of Homer.
I soon realised I could go one better, with seven trisyllables.
Dactyls proved elusive and right from the start you can see an amphibrach, many a mass of molossus, and the odd spondee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondee
With the great afterlife Catholic dinosaurs expect to enjoy, it's not a sin to smoke yourself and your kids to death.
Likewise with the poem: it's pretty hard to find an antibacchius anywhere.

FURTHER UN-ERASED SLOVENIAN UNHISTORY WITH AUTO-TUNE - And it came to pass, having smitten enough of the hordes of Janša to form a coalition, that Alenka The Legs proffered a sermon on the mount to the Yugo-Nostalgians.
And presently she did let forth a hearty Communist sing-song. And it seemed like the right and usual thing to do. And of its future detriment to her career and chances of getting out of Slo-ven-i-a to dwell in fabulous splendour among the EU-ites a mere year and a half later, zero was known in those times.
And the Yugo-Nostalgians went happily away and told it in the village of how she had associated with the relevant symbols, how things were going to be better again, that every worker would be a king, when once again you will be able to get 60 fags, a few beers and an untraceable-meat burek and still have change from fifty billion dinars. And Alenka The Legs became known there as Alenka The Red...
ALENKA'S DREAM
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live off its true leaning: towards greed - we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all bloodsuckers are created equally unable to accept their own redundancy.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of SolÄŤava the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a long table, eat protected-designation sausages, and get drunk, while an army of sausage-counters make 20% on everything. [Make that 22% now - Ed.]
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mussomeli, a despised state, smelling like the feet of self-interest and geopolitics, will be transformed into an orgy of free money and just about enough tourists...but not the really big ones as our toilets cannot cope.
I have a dream that Reinhart and Rogoff will one day get their spreadsheets right, so nations' bond yields will not be misjudged according to the character of their debt-to-GDP ratio, but by the colour of their imitation Chardonnay.
I have a dream today!
I don't have much need to read sovereign bond prospectuses, but I wouldn't follow Noonan or Osborne's examples at anything. http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/pn_12_04.pdf
And presently she did let forth a hearty Communist sing-song. And it seemed like the right and usual thing to do. And of its future detriment to her career and chances of getting out of Slo-ven-i-a to dwell in fabulous splendour among the EU-ites a mere year and a half later, zero was known in those times.
And the Yugo-Nostalgians went happily away and told it in the village of how she had associated with the relevant symbols, how things were going to be better again, that every worker would be a king, when once again you will be able to get 60 fags, a few beers and an untraceable-meat burek and still have change from fifty billion dinars. And Alenka The Legs became known there as Alenka The Red...
ALENKA'S DREAM
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live off its true leaning: towards greed - we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all bloodsuckers are created equally unable to accept their own redundancy.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of SolÄŤava the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a long table, eat protected-designation sausages, and get drunk, while an army of sausage-counters make 20% on everything. [Make that 22% now - Ed.]
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mussomeli, a despised state, smelling like the feet of self-interest and geopolitics, will be transformed into an orgy of free money and just about enough tourists...but not the really big ones as our toilets cannot cope.
I have a dream that Reinhart and Rogoff will one day get their spreadsheets right, so nations' bond yields will not be misjudged according to the character of their debt-to-GDP ratio, but by the colour of their imitation Chardonnay.
I have a dream today!
I don't have much need to read sovereign bond prospectuses, but I wouldn't follow Noonan or Osborne's examples at anything. http://www.levyinstitute.org/pubs/pn_12_04.pdf

Intro to the intro: Yet more deleted National Poetry, dating from the time of the rising moon of Alenka The Legs. Like the degree plagiarism story which plagued her from the get-go, such verses as here below were exiled forthwith under her successor, in the Great Unfunny Silence amid the comments columns of The Slovenia Times characteristic of his reign. I dunno if that makes it better or anything. And now into the intro...
Maga habitu ad induendum: Lines on the Oath and Not-Quite Coronation of the PM-Designate from The National Poet Of Slovenia In A Language People Understand
New PM is, by qualification,
Perspicacious about perspiration.
Up to scratch entity
Oughtn't be sweaty - we
Risk bubonic plagiarisation.
Catholic plot #13f : put a woman in charge - when it goes wrong the politically informed in Slovenia can throw up their hands and say "Well what did you expect!?"
No court needs reminding of the deleterious effects of witchcraft on Slovenia's business activities, such as Welding-gate (TEĹ again): http://is.gd/Gf49Et - a master criminal and sorceress if ever I saw one.
The critics are wasting no time piling in. According to the sober view of Finance, Bratušek is a "public enemy", who as Director-General under Finance Ministers Bajuk and Križanič "bankrupted Slovenia"; she is "the Slovenian Berlusconi".
Such is the Torquemedan world of Slovenian politics, you are guilty of your dead ancestors' sins until forced, like Janša, to descend to the level of name-calling. The Slovenian PM's official residence consists mainly of windows from which you can hang by your fingertips, surrounded by a baying, stone-throwing mob.
How so many Slovenian politicians passed their exams using plagiarised text baffles me.
As far as I can see, no two people in this fine nation ever agreed on the same way of saying anything.

Droning on...do drones now actually play this melodramatic music in real time as they fly around, like Lt Col. Kilgore's helicopter in Puckerlips Now?
It would be great if there were hundreds buzzing around constantly: "Oooh, there goes the Mahler Drone", "Look out! It's the Rimsky-Korsakov Drone", "Did you see my Doobie Brothers Drone shoot down the Jan Plestenjak Drone?" - these are the kind of things we would say.
This water is heading towards me! This particular water may have even arrived or gone past by now. Film-scored aerial views of impending disaster are rather a poor substitute for ARSO's broken flowmeter. Yes, ARSO. If you want a flood poem here's a perfectly good one from 2012 as these floods are basically all the same. http://www.maria.si/wet

lost poetry of slovenia
As the sun sank upon the Janša II dynasty there was a visit from Environmental Health.
RACE COURSE
Fear not the Slovenian lasagne
No-one's selling shares in Lipizzaner -
The Liechtenstein horse is

Cornering: shaped like banana.

The months passed, and it was hot. What better way to spend those lazy afternoons than studying the economics that is going to fix the economy. You just put it together like an Ikea wardrobe...
A summer haiku deleted during the humourless reign of Miro I.
WOODLAND HIKE ECONOMI-KU
Not in the top ten
Economics summer camps:
Among the biggest.
A new dawn, the econo-mists are clearing, and it is clear the students can learn much from the rustic asceticism of Slovenia's hugely successful economic story.
Mealy-mouthed non-numerical descriptions are the way forward - our camp's "among the biggest" even if it is not in "the top ten".
http://is.gd/gjLvUP
At any rate, we offer an interquartile range of forest skills for economics summer camp students...
Start your campfire using just your glasses and some money
Survival: stay alive by doing nothing
Pond-fishing for positive statistics
Digging a liquidity trap and hoping a wild Pigou Effect will save your bacon
Un-undo-able knot-tying
Camouflage for fatties
Build your own log(x + y)n = log(xn + yn) cabin
Wild party with Bush and TARP
Make alcoholic regression analysis
Vomiteering
Holistic student dim sum bonding
Student p-test in horizontal channels, with heavy tailed distributions
Doing your duty by scouting for self-help books
Soft-rock climbing
Thatchering with Keynes
Clearing up your trash/The art of going light (students excused if too wet or suffer from Parkinson's Law)

Halfway through the reign of Alenka The Legs, and seven months before The Great Deletion, the gods unplugged the land of the Slov-en-i-ites, and it was very, very cold...
KARMA CARRY-ON: NETWORKS PERUN DOWN
Finding nothing about local clergy cool
God responds with a strike, though not surgical -
With the price now of bolts
He don't waste volts on dolts:
Pylon major mishap metallurgical.
It was time for revenge from above, what with the hapless Slovenian citizenry - believers and atheists alike - now on the hook via the bad bank for half a billion euros of the money lost by wino-to-organ-to-porno conglomerate Archdiocese of Maribor plc (note: no business connection to Vatican City Titty Corp).
Church debt constitutes 10% of the bad bank's remit. Four fifths of that relates to their typically megalomaniac attempt to control the internet, via ISP/Telco T2.
As the Slovenian internet offered the only glimmer of hope that NLB, NKBM and Abanka might see some of your money again, T2 and its optical network project were spirited off under a traditional murky, media-proof cloud of Catholic shock and confusion to companies Gratel and Rešet.
With NLB in hot pursuit of these assets and trying to put T2's owners into bankruptcy, owner Jurij KrÄŤ - suddenly one of Slovenia's richest tycoons - has put them yet further out of reach by giving the Slovenian internet to his brother. As you do.
But of course you need electricity for an internet. The old gods know this and they're back - with this suitably anti-phallic expression of their displeasure.
Maybe these pylons would have benefitted from gromoviti znaki.

With then-PM Janša now in jail, and with what we now know about the DL's rapping https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/CFyw7E6SuDk is the reign of Miro I really a good time to rebury the burying of the referendum on the bad bank by the SDS and DL with the deletion of this national poem?
Wasn't a constitutional change permitting no referendums on subjects of the national economy the result of this challenge to the government by the peeps (in a time of many zombies) - ?
Resurrecting the idea that the people having the money stolen by gov.si could have a say about it to gov.si - instead of gov.si passing a law saying they can't - seems to have a stronger basis than the SDS idea of declaring the 2014 election invalid if JJ gets free outta jail with a human rights card, because (they say) the legal system cocked up his election campaign by sentencing him to jail.
Of course the SDS knows better than most how dumb the electorate is. They still made second place.
Whereas if you changed the law and evaded the will of de people in a shady way, e.g. by ignoring the broad strokes and pouncing on technicalities, that would fit with a criminal pattern of behaviour, wouldn't it? Especially if you had previous, with the referendum on TEĹ 6...
You can change history if you want to. The deleted limerick...
GEE, AS US DRIVES THE TEMPLE OUT OF THE MONEYLENDERS
Mountebank spanked, plans appeal to bunkum.
But who stank? Cops drew blank, though it stunk. Some
Pleas re constitution
Flunk? Try prostitution:
Church gains shared? No! Debts? Yes! Slam dunk 'em!

SLOVENIAN ERASED POETRY ARCHIVE:
HANKY BANKY 2
And it came to pass in the reign of Janša II that all the wise men who counselled said if Slovenia didn't get a bad bank everything would go tits up...
Anglo Irish Bank had Janša feeling
The "worst bank" could bring fiscal healing.
Such commissariats
Need Primorje's best flats
He's the government - it won't be stealing!
Today's limerick celebrates the PM's trip to Dublin, where he may have marvelled over the fact that the so-called National Asset Management Agency - Ireland's "bad bank" - has become one of the world's biggest property owners as a result of the collapse of AIB. Achievements of NAMA which will appeal to Slovenian ways include sending in the receivers to the property company which owns its own Headquarters (current rent EUR 1.75m/year).

DELETED FINANCIAL ANALYSIS from the end of Janša II. I said...
Anchoring, in psychology: you already made your mind up something is true.
Maybe you have decided that the contents of your underwear drawer will look better on average if you move all the yellowing items with the holes and frayed edges into a separate drawer. You can label this "Bad Underwear" or, to fool snoopers try a more exotic title, e.g. "Sovereign Lingerie Holding".
One day there is a reduction in the amount Slovenia must pay to borrow other peoples' underwear, labelled "Boxer yields".
Events in international unmentionables appear to confirm your claim concerning the wisdom of starting a separate drawer. Post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy of the non sequiteur variety.
When boxers come down, the Finance Ministry can anchor its belief in its plan for the new undies drawer by saying this good news was partly due to the bad underwear idea.
It is not true and it is not actually possible to demonstrate a connection: it's just wishful thinking.
The drop has in fact been caused by Mr Obama attempting to deal with the fiscal crust situation in American underwear by permitting US citizens to go on wearing the same items for another couple of months, until their unspeakable laundry reaches the dirt ceiling.
Was the remainder of this boxer-lowering effect due to "general easing of tensions in the eurozone" as stated above - or Christmas/New year Holiday as it sometimes called?
Yields did not fall because of the Slovenian bad bank plan.
Yields on Polish bonds fell at the same time.
Poland is not planning a bad bank.
Poland is not in the eurozone.

This fissure in the late-dynasty Janša II Finance Minister's timeline was deleted in the reign of Miro I...
FUTURE REVEALED! DR WHO ANTI-YOU JUJU VOODOO DOO-DOO
Referendum block fiscally healthy:
Enemy of your wealth is yourself. The
Bad bank bit's barefaced
As the bonds were purchased
Two months earlier. Ripe with gas...Delphi?
Ethylene is a gas with euphoric and anaesthetic properties and is used to ripen fruit. The Pythian ladies running Delphi's Oracle concession would have been fortune-telling above a confluence of geological faults.
By the time the bad bank referendum was proposed on 31 Oct 2012, the bonds were already sold. The Constipational Court's decision not to have a referendum which might have stopped the bad bank was just before Christmas, of course.
Maybe Slovenia would have had to give the bondholders their money back 9 years and 10 months early if the court's decision had gone the other way? Can you feel the mists starting to swirl around your head?
This is a mystery involving time and wisdom. The best way to explain how the sale of the bonds might have been screwed up by a referendum that hadn't even been proposed at the time is to look to the Ancients and their divinations.
Being on their knees sniffing Greek cracks and out of their heads may have assisted the Pythia with their prognostications, as ethylene vapours have been detected at Delphi.
Time travel is only tourism, after all. That could certainly increase the possibility of buying something whose "price does not reflect the real value".

And in the time of Janša II the king of the Flemish Ban-ka-shoo-ras threw up his hands and said unto the Sloven-i-ites, OK I've had enough, just give me whatever you can. And even as he went on the road he was robbed.
And yo variously, NPOSIALPU blew his trumpet in warning, lest should appear in the land of the Sloven-i-ites any other stranger with gifts from the Otherlands.
And these notes he blew and the numbers therein were wicked in the eyes of the Sloven-i-ites, and they did smite them. There were musical differences. And his trumpet was sorely bent up.

A sad day if you are an overexpansive eurobanker of the early noughties.
But a great day if you are an impenetrable national culture with a huge chip on your shoulder about foreign invasions.
The 435m KBC paid for its 34% in 2002 is perhaps worth 557m in 2013 money - I used http://is.gd/o5gv36 for that
In diametrical opposition to the never-to-materialise asset sales posited under Jansa I, KBC let go of a third of that in 2006. In those four years the SBI20 quadrupled: by 2007 companies in the index were trading at 39 times estimated earnings. http://is.gd/yIaN4n
So the news is either good: Slovenia bilked millions out of johnny foreigner and stifled his plans to run NLB in a non-Slovenian way.
Or the news is bad: the whole 100% of NLB's shares (assuming there aren't more than this) based on the present knock-down price per Brussels' orders, are only worth 100 / 22 x 2.76m = 12.55m euros.
Which compared to NLB's supposed 2002 value of 100 / 34 x 557m = 1638m either means the bank was worth 130.58 times more back then...or is only worth 0.0076579 as much now.
Reality does not matter. The numbers are the main thing. EU rules have fixed it for Slovenia to make a cash showing at the expense of Belgium! Now all NLB has to do to look good in accountancy terms is move three times that amount in losses under a different heading - the bad bank.
KBC's share in NLB did not qualify as a "strategic investment", they said - and this is now proven.
Risk is what investment is all about. Slovenia should use its booty to invade Liechtenstein - before pushing on to occupy Monaco and Andorra in a pincer movement. Free move to Switzerland.
And yo variously, NPOSIALPU blew his trumpet in warning, lest should appear in the land of the Sloven-i-ites any other stranger with gifts from the Otherlands.

In diametrical opposition to the never-to-materialise asset sales posited under Jansa I, KBC let go of a third of that in 2006. In those four years the SBI20 quadrupled: by 2007 companies in the index were trading at 39 times estimated earnings. http://is.gd/yIaN4n
So the news is either good: Slovenia bilked millions out of johnny foreigner and stifled his plans to run NLB in a non-Slovenian way.
Or the news is bad: the whole 100% of NLB's shares (assuming there aren't more than this) based on the present knock-down price per Brussels' orders, are only worth 100 / 22 x 2.76m = 12.55m euros.
Which compared to NLB's supposed 2002 value of 100 / 34 x 557m = 1638m either means the bank was worth 130.58 times more back then...or is only worth 0.0076579 as much now.
Reality does not matter. The numbers are the main thing. EU rules have fixed it for Slovenia to make a cash showing at the expense of Belgium! Now all NLB has to do to look good in accountancy terms is move three times that amount in losses under a different heading - the bad bank.
KBC's share in NLB did not qualify as a "strategic investment", they said - and this is now proven.
Risk is what investment is all about. Slovenia should use its booty to invade Liechtenstein - before pushing on to occupy Monaco and Andorra in a pincer movement. Free move to Switzerland.

As Christmas 2012 drew near, the Gini was out of his coefficient bottle, nervous ministers faced zombies in the streets of LJ...my deleted unhistorical ode to dem independent celebrations.
CIVILISATION TO CONTINUE: SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
Hip hooray! Two days of national unities:
One for each of the Slovene communities -
Day one: Down with elites!
Independence completes
Day two - (various buffet opportunities).
Well what would YOU do?

SLIPPERY CUSTOMERS - One thing you can't say any more in Slovenia in 2014 is...
In her latest victory the Slovenian ski champion overwhelmed the French by 35/100ths of a second.
Should a Slovenian bar owner's rivals manage to cause an official inspection, and his stock is found to differ more than five bottles from his stock record, he'll be fined 500 euros.
A driver can be fined for having more than a certain depth of snow on the roof of his car. I'm sorry, but I don't know the exact depth, or if the police go equipped with a special snow ruler.
No foreigner's social evening here is complete without the misapplied subjunctive mood question "How long are you in Slovenia?"
Some 18,000 people who, after independence, for one reason or another did not apply for citizenship or register as "foreign" became administrative non-entities. Several thousand such unpersons remained, with successive Slovenian governments happy to fund a pigs' trough of lawyers to put endless legal arguments against their existence, until finally being found in contravention of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in 2012 http://is.gd/Z2GL91
The defendants' award for their 21-year non-existence, with all that entails in a land of bureaucrats? Just EUR20,000-30,000 apiece.
Ironic indeed, then, that the country that is obsessed with counting everything today has the highest weekly, monthly, and annual increase in it's ten year sovereign bonds, and will have a 70% debt-to-GDP ratio by the time bank "restructuring" is factored in.
But still Slovenia wants to count for itself. There are many, many ways of counting: Elan is the company with the 2012 EUR 60.7m revenue and the EUR 86,000 profit - compare that to an EUR 80,000 "technical error" investigated by police. The Elan group to which it belongs is the one with the EUR 90m in revenue and a loss of EUR 1m. And this, mind, is a SUCCESSFUL Slovenian company. Yes indeedy.
Five bottles of beer?
Many scientific triumphs have emerged from measurement: it is the only way to get at the facts of the universe.
But any descendants of Jeremy Bentham, who somehow still believe more elaborate counting equates to increased honesty and sound business practice, or that a well-counted country is a well-run country, or that this is the road to human contentment, should look at Slovenia, drowning in its own accountancy, with its thousands of penpushers mired in its undersized statistical samplitude, and ask if the result has been a happy one for either the nation as a whole, or the people forced to run around endless tranquil offices meeting the demands of the counting classes.
Or if it is in fact the pet petty tyranny of various nobodies - useless parasites, vampires, and timewasters - making rules based on jealousy, denunciation, and greed. http://is.gd/Akx0rR

This health insurance policy from October 2012 was cancelled in the First Quarter Moon of the Reign of Miro I...
LOVE ACTUARY
Now Slovenian pensions post-Lehman,
Met longevity risk, what's the B-plan?
Until teachers and miners
Dig/die like 49ers
They'll be covered by black peoples - CEEMAN.
Slovenia has problems with its pension extension. The biggest one is that they were supposed to be going pay back the money their law said you had to give them. But you just kept on living longer and longer, threatening to ruin everything for those who, you believed, knew more about this than you. You were both wrong.
One thing Slovenia could imitate is South Africa's plan to discriminate against workshy minority groups: retirement age for university professors is to be raised from 60 to 80. http://is.gd/ozyTgV
The average life expectancy in the businessman's paradise of South Africa is about the age most people are finishing their exams in Slovenia - 49.

BREXIT: BRITAIN POISED TO NOT REPEAL VAT
EU rules required the UK to introduce VAT to become a member, remember?
This European VAT comparison comment might have ruined everything if English-readers inside the feudal fiefdom had gotten hold of it.
The EU decided Žito was for sale and it's now 87% Croatian owned.
The profits mentioned in the article are just some accountant's joke, btw. Probably siphoned off to a holding company.
Deleted from The unknown-in-Slovenia Times in September 2014.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
GOODBYE TO ALL VAT
A most astonishing thing --
Nine and a half percent derived;
(Hurrah for the flours of Spring,
For Spring is here again.)
Nine and a half percent derived;
From each ragged beggar-man,
Nine and a half percent derived,
By state from a farmer boy,
And never have I danced for joy.
(after W B Yeats)
Ha ha if they want to make a third of a cent on every euro they turn over that's great! We don't want them profiting from hunger, or next thing you know the government will be expecting a cut every time somebody eats.
What's that...? Oh they do?
So the misunderstanding here is not about the amount of profit, but who profits, and when. Specifically it is the government, who don't grow, mix, bake, transport or sell us any food at all, who get 9.5% of what we spend on food...for some reason.
The UK and Malta charge 0% VAT on basic foods, Italy has 4% or 5% on staple foodstuffs, 10% on the rest, while Portugal has 6% on staples and 13% on some other foods, Poland 5%, 8% and 23%, Spain 4% and 10%, and Germany 7% and 19%.
Luxembourg, with the highest minimum wage in the EU, has 3% on everything edible, the Netherlands (second highest minimum wage) has 6%, as does Belgium (in shops, but 12% for catering, and also a 21% rate). The Cypriot government gets 5% or 19% from the gobbling habits of its citizenry while the full bureaucrazies are France with 2.1%, 5.5%, 10% and 20%, and Ireland with 0%, 4.8%, 9%, 13,5%, and 23% rates for various types of eating.
Among the flat rate food taxing governments Denmark, Finland, and Romania manage to get by with 25%, 14% and 9% respectively. Slovenia's northern neighbour Austria has 10% on all food.
Source: https://is.gd/dvfJEl
Minimum wages around Europe: http://is.gd/rE4Utp
So much for EU harmonisation. Here in Slovenia the arrangement is more a legacy of their political philosophy. You can kind of tell Žito is a communist company from their motto: "Determined and with no dissentions" http://www.zito.si/index.php?id=373
[ Yeah, don't diss their doughnuts or it's off to the gulag. Hope I win some marketing innovation prize for pointing that one out. It's gone, anyway - the red manifesto replaced by a shiny new mission statement, the equally hilarious Jamieoliveresque “To eat good, safe and modern” - http://www.zito.si/en/about-the-group/quality-policy/------------- Go on my son! Let them speak cake - hahahaha! ]
Where Slovenia seems to be lagging behind is in devising a huge and ridiculous bureaucracy to set various levels of VAT on food depending on which biscuits tax officials personally like.
Sadly Slovenian biscuits are all rubbish, and seldom elicit a contribution from yours truly.
A much better system, which could potentially employ hundreds of tax officials on such important tasks as counting the chocolate chips in cookies, could base the VAT rates for different foods on which political party the producers support - if you think I'm joking see http://is.gd/SLPWx4

Easter 2013 until deleted Sept 2014 national poetry
SHROVE GROVEL
Get your sacks, TĂĽrk family, sit on ashes,
Other Slovenes' big houses? Too flash, now please
Atone for erection:
Slo shoe-gazers expect an
Unfinished outside, more slapdash than his.
The prospect of the bungling bankers unleashing capital controls means a de facto multi-tier euro already exists. See why here: http://is.gd/2XB76G
Before the recent island bank robbery, Archbishop Chrysostomos was offering property previously handed to the Republic of Cyprus by 60s/70s President Archbishop Makarios, to help with the crisis caused by the sudden devaluation of the Cyprus euro. http://is.gd/9qxy5G
"It belongs to the people", he explained, concerning the EUR 80m worth he was offering up to securitize further Cypriot sovereign debt, to help rescue Cyprus from the problem caused by debt.
Now I do not pretend to understand the division of church and state in Cyprus. Not much of that, from the sounds of it. Presumably the actual ownership depends on whether you are collecting rent, mortgaging it, paying the mortgage, or paying for the bills and upkeep.
As a financial asset, property is neither particularly fungible or liquid. But it can keep the rain off.
As I understood the Slovenian situation (back in 2006) you did not need planning permission for a house if there was any kind of structure whatsoever on the parcel of land in question.
This often applied in the countryside, and many people had obviously taken advantage of that, building unfinished houses wherever they could before the government changed its mind.
Rethinking their parasitical rules, the ruling class (the clue's in the name) must now surely round upon these hapless go-getters, using whatever populist jealousies they can enliven, and attack whatever is available on whatever bureaucratic grounds can be magicked.
What must be understood internationally is that the political situation in Catholic Slovenia is totally the opposite of Greek Orthodox government.
The TĂĽrk family villa was constructed by an Eles (National Grid) contractor.
As this makes it public property it should be handed over to the Diocese of Koper immediately.

I guess it shows what the problem is with democracy, when it's considered a success that half the people think their money is safe in the bank, while four out of ten think it isn't.
Hurrah for banks! What more could a population want?
At this time I was trying to discover Slovenia's secret formula for minimising the amount of money you can have snatched from your blocked bank account.
Further to [ waiting for link ] ...I hadn't got an answer from Unicredit about the attempted theft/financial fishing expedition by the court administrators and customs service CURS.
This next instalment will only interest people whose bank accounts have been blocked for not paying a bill they already paid years ago...
To Unicredit Bank, Ptuj
Any news on the block?
Do your lawyers plan to initiate a class action against CURS for all the accounts blocked due to the "accidental" reissuance of phantom bills from the past?
It would be wrong to speculate on CURS' motive. However, working for Customs is obviously a dream job - for racists and statists!
Now that we know that all Russians connected with Cyprus are criminals, and that a few minutes' TV coverage of this can certify a national bank robbery, a quick analysis of the ethnic background of the list of clients blocked due to phantom bills would reveal whether similar justifications are also credible in Slovenia in this day and age.
Perhaps in the end the authorities do not really care whose money they steal - or how much time Unicredit staff waste helping them. It would be far easier for Unicredit to just chicken out and let them do it again. And again.
But instead of freezing all the foreigners' accounts, wouldn't it make more sense to freeze the ones with the most money in?
Of course they probably have to freeze them first, under some pretence, to find out which ones contain any money to be stolen to begin with.
That would explain the whole episode very well, don't you agree?
However it does not pay to get too overconfident, as was discovered by your former shareholder, Colonel Gadaffi.
Using logic of a similar strength, who else might deserve to be blocked? Off the top of my head I can think of
Jennifer Lopez - Jenny From The Block
and
New Kids On The Block - Crash (Official Lyric Video)
Probably your firewall stopped that. Technology gets it right sometimes
If your lawyers have nothing helpful to say please tell me so I can start on my own.
The way to not find out is to not find out.
What kind of a moron would trust his money to the banks of a theocracy anyway?

FROM THE DELETED NATIONAL POETRY ARCHIVE: POWER GAMES
Virant or Gorenak or both were involved in burying the TEĹ 6 coal generating plant referendum...at this point the main thing was to get more money to add to the money already spent.
Here the company's PR was against "the Slovenian public, media and civil initiatives which have recently been attacking it with half-baked claims that are false". The EIB aren't stupid and so gov.si had to guarantee this loan.
A year and a half later eight Slovenians and two others are being arrested for nicking 284 million euros https://plus.google.com/112569714916753901063/posts/jjt7nRNXzPB - or 20% of the (already doubled) project cost so far.
Sometimes a burglar leaves nothing but footprints. NPOSIALPU's accurate but deleted poetic prophecy from those times was untitled:
Lord Acton, Pitt, and Lamartine
Have in remarks forseen Slovene
Microstate run by some shower
End with absolute power
Pronounced - absaloootalee corrupateeeng.
I feel somewhat alone in failing to understand the referendum initiation process which results in "more than 2500 signatures" being collected as reported here http://is.gd/ifwVZW ending up being invalid because it was "only signed by 2151 people" as reported here http://is.gd/ZfC2bO without anyone in the country apparently commenting - despite signatures on a similar application re the bad bank being "lost" as reported here http://is.gd/PjkVtl
The well-known maxim, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," belongs to Catholic libertarian Lord Acton, but see http://is.gd/rCBcJ0
150 years ago, during the American Civil War, English toff Acton supported the Confederacy and afterwards wrote to General Robert E Lee in praise of the Confederate Constitution. http://is.gd/kTLmzj
This was identical to the original US Constitution in many ways, but differed in federalism, along with voting by persons "of foreign birth" and five further amendments aimed at the preservation of slavery.
Constitutional law? Slavery? Does any of this sound familiar? The American Civil War did not arise solely over the right to keep slaves, as simple and worthy as that sounds. Slavery was legal under both constitutions. In an early act of emancipation black people were allowed to get blown up and shot at to defend the Union, finishing the job.
And if it seems unlikely that a Catholic libertarian view of America in 1866 was that it had been a shame about the rule changes on slavery, that's because it is.

Virant or Gorenak or both were involved in burying the TEĹ 6 coal generating plant referendum...at this point the main thing was to get more money to add to the money already spent.
Here the company's PR was against "the Slovenian public, media and civil initiatives which have recently been attacking it with half-baked claims that are false". The EIB aren't stupid and so gov.si had to guarantee this loan.
A year and a half later eight Slovenians and two others are being arrested for nicking 284 million euros https://plus.google.com/112569714916753901063/posts/jjt7nRNXzPB - or 20% of the (already doubled) project cost so far.
Sometimes a burglar leaves nothing but footprints. NPOSIALPU's accurate but deleted poetic prophecy from those times was untitled:
Lord Acton, Pitt, and Lamartine
Have in remarks forseen Slovene
Microstate run by some shower
End with absolute power
Pronounced - absaloootalee corrupateeeng.
I feel somewhat alone in failing to understand the referendum initiation process which results in "more than 2500 signatures" being collected as reported here http://is.gd/ifwVZW ending up being invalid because it was "only signed by 2151 people" as reported here http://is.gd/ZfC2bO without anyone in the country apparently commenting - despite signatures on a similar application re the bad bank being "lost" as reported here http://is.gd/PjkVtl
The well-known maxim, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," belongs to Catholic libertarian Lord Acton, but see http://is.gd/rCBcJ0
150 years ago, during the American Civil War, English toff Acton supported the Confederacy and afterwards wrote to General Robert E Lee in praise of the Confederate Constitution. http://is.gd/kTLmzj
This was identical to the original US Constitution in many ways, but differed in federalism, along with voting by persons "of foreign birth" and five further amendments aimed at the preservation of slavery.
Constitutional law? Slavery? Does any of this sound familiar? The American Civil War did not arise solely over the right to keep slaves, as simple and worthy as that sounds. Slavery was legal under both constitutions. In an early act of emancipation black people were allowed to get blown up and shot at to defend the Union, finishing the job.
And if it seems unlikely that a Catholic libertarian view of America in 1866 was that it had been a shame about the rule changes on slavery, that's because it is.

TWO YEARS' PATRIA & LABOUR
The window's neat, love those eight bendy wheels.
When roads have lumps, bumps, puddles, mud is hell,
And shooty things, how else can one propel
In rough terrain? Their sales guys had great deals.
I wish I'd Liechtensteined, though: Austria squeals.
I'll sue the media worldwide now as well.
I ought to earn a lot more than Ĺ trukelj.
Don't blame me for the job's sideline appeals.
Turns on a dime. That Interpol request?
Illegible...after cops spilt some tea.
With room to lie down straight and sleep inside,
The gastight Ptuj model is the best -
With air-conditioned, whiff-free guarantee:
Helsinki to hell stinky, legal ride.
Well, it's based on "Patria", by American poet Henry Van Dyke, who in 1898 said "If we enter the course of foreign conquest, the day is not far distant when we must spend in annual preparation for wars more than the $180,000,000 that we now spend every year in the education of our children for peace."
Seems he was right as the US now spends $121,100,000,000 on education, without peace probably ever being mentioned, and $711,000,000,000 on the military, where it is probably mentioned a lot. http://is.gd/1crRnA

Communist Yugoslavia always loved stupid gamblers, as long as they were foreign. Along with the anti-drinking messages this type of comment was NEVER popular, even without the NPOSIALPU byline...
Tito may have despised gambling but gambling in Yugoslavia was a different sort of game.
Officially immoral, there were no gambling establishments in Yugoslavia - only 28 "Pavilions for Games of Chance". In theory operated by and for the proletariat, most were actually owned by rich foreign corporations, like Penthouse's mile-long complex on Krk. http://is.gd/zsMutw
To compensate for Yugoslavia's low exports and resulting low foreign currency earnings, exporting and tourist enterprises kept only a tiny fraction of their takings.
From 1967 the state took away 93%. In 1971 this dropped to 80% and the main producers of foreign currency, overseas workers and tourist money hoovers like this casino, were allowed to keep up to 55% of their hard currency incomes.
Despite this the foreign casino owners still came, built their pavilions, and suckered their decadent clients, corrupting the innocence of the poor Yugoslavs in the process.
The corporations took their winnings tax free. This was of course because whatever legalisation concerning this 100-year-old PortoroĹľ establishment took place in 1962, Yugoslav law did not class gambling houses as "economic entities". And this, of course, is because they "did not exist".
Meanwhile, Yugo gamblers without connections, who were not allowed in, were gambling away money earned in dinars across the borders in Austria and Italy.
The rest of the foreign currency coming in was siphoned off through a bureaucratic process whose length ensured that due to rampant inflation, your foreign earnings were worth plenty less by the time they had been converted into runaway dinars, and then back again.
In the true spirit of brotherhood and solidarity, the money you could actually spend disappeared into the hands of the elite. Ordinary citizens meanwhile received ever more impressive millions of dinars, worth less and less.
To puritanical communists the presence of foreign casinos - or any foreign enterprise - was high treason in theory.
In practice the locals were able to look both ways. Relieved of the tedious business of the day-to-day management of the accommodation because the casino owners would just pay the hotel bills for the high rollers to come and gamble their filthy capitalist lucre away.
Yugoslav management, in need of constant gambling research trips in the West, and tax inspectors and secret service agents appointed to jobs in the "Pavilions" were somehow able to cope with this, along with all the other opportunities involved. http://is.gd/OU7Tn0
Many of the ambivalent attitudes about foreigners which these propagandas and economic dependencies produced can still be seen in Slovenia today.

LOST NATIONAL POETRY --- Sadly gone but not forgotten from The Slovenia Times under the new "no comment" regime, this tasty highland ditty in the Scots language...
LIES, DAMNED LYES, 'N' STATE STEARATES
Foghorn Leghorn in plasticware,
Ermintrude moos, Babe grunts nae mair;
Aw rendered dain tae candles thaur,
Nae mair min' fur them;
Hink ye Perutnina caur?
E'er mair fra' theyr lum.
To teel th' truth, cylinder volume -
That's radius, squared, times pi, times up him
4 x 10, say, if ye slightly crushed 'em -
Year's candles booght
Fit, when 'dozer (bull) o'ergangs 'em,
Wan tennis coort.
Bahookie fatty acids fizzle;
Help ma Boab! Enviro-swizzle
Burns theyr stearin in the drizzle
Fur stookie man -
They could be making bio-dizzle
Or pemmican.
Based upon Elegy On The Death Of Robert Ruisseaux by Robert Burns (his own mock epitaph).

Another blast from the past. In contrast to Ptuj, where I only need to go about 50 metres to meet a melancholy ideologically-confused foreigner-blaming yoof, I bet no UK Pakistani ever met an angry jealous 20-something non-racist coked-up sporty UK Urdu-phobe who was "nostalgic" about Harold Wilson or Supermac.
This is what happens when you keep on living with (grand)parents who never really went anywhere. I really hope more people with a language people understand will come and help introduce Slovenia to the Present.

FROM THE VAULT - these ebolacious times remind me of another resurrected poem deleted from The Slovenia Times, in which...
nposialpu notes the latest non-division between Church and State...
EXTRA! EXCISE XMAS: TRIAL OF THE BALLOON NUN
NSi on the alcohol scene: - "Whoa!
One more thing we can't count is the vino.
Hell! Blood group?? - we're unable
To put this on the label,
Or comply with Instruction 650."
Christian winos! Are you breaking man's law with wine labelling, or are you potentially denying the existence of God by not labelling correctly?
According to the doctrine of transubstantiation, the ingredients of bread and wine used in the Eucharist are prone to changes when they become the body and blood of Christ the Saviour.
Please don't forget that a lot of people have fought and died in pan-European schisms about this one. NSi supporters, please avoid heresy: the wine becomes blood not merely symbolically - but in reality!
EU regulations on the packaging and transport of biological samples will therefore apply.
Like Slovenia's candles, much home produced wine is a religious black market item, often supplied to believers under the table,
The correct labelling, when handling potentially hazardous post-Eucharistic blood-containing wines, must contain the texts “Biological Material, Category B”, and the identification number “UN 3373”.
The Dangerous Goods “YES” box must be ticked. You should forget the idea of selling religious wines in duty-free airport stores unless wrapped in compliance with ICAO/IATA Packing Instruction 650.
Sufficient absorbent packing must be used to contain any leakage of dangerous blood-contaminated wine specimens - which if released into the environment could give rise to infectious optimism, philosophical laziness, and liver disease.
Do not end up getting prosecuted for tax evasion like Jesus. The name and telephone number of a “responsible person” must be written on the consignment note or on the package.
Let purveyors of wines - any of which might be transformed - render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasar's and adhere to international biohazard regulations.

UNTITLED WELCOMERICK
Welcome, NLB's new boss Janko:
Good to know that you chose the right stranko
With the time gained not shaving,
We'll all soon be saving;
Mah cat 'as 'ad nine lives...it can go.
Today's limerick celebrates George Michael-esque hirsutism in Slovenian finance, and recalls the wobbly bank's eight failed attempts so far to sell Slovenian not-so-supermarket Mercator to someone who knows what they're doing but - confusingly - isn't a foreigner.
Ptuj weather Saturday Night/Sunday Morning: Normal air.
how the poem was lost
In the seventh moon of the reign of Janša II, the national poet was as unfertilised frogspawn, without official name or purpose, and it survived at the page below until the enthronement of Miro I and The Great Deletion.

FROM THE VAULTS -
Day 17 of the reign of Emperor Miro I. Thou shalt not comment in The Slovenia Times unless you are selling loans or African witchcraft. All subversive comments relating to bad or just funny things about the PR-kingdom of Slovenia shall cease to exist. Among Slovenia's national poetic heritage lost in The Great Deletion was this one on its corruption ranking from 2012...
SLOVENIA'S FAVOURITE POSITION IS...
37th least corrupt, Slovenia lies between
Cape Verde and St Vincent, and the Grenadines
Both born slaves and poor farmers,
Republics, bananas -

NPOSIALPU's poem and comment correcting Slovenia's official baby statistic was erased from The Slovenia Times in the Time Of The Great Deletion...
VIBAL STATISTICS
Here statistics and graph lines quite curvy
Have been spun into claims topsy-turvy.
They can count beers and change,
But these birth stats are strange:
Lovey-dovey stuff makes Slovenes nervy.
This positive-sounding article is very educational for anyone interested in misleading journalistic science nonsense.
According to the CIA World Factbook the 2012 population growth rate of Slovenia is -0.19.
The CIA will definitely know this as they have been listening to every creak.
The figure quoted in this article is in fact not the Population Growth Rate at all. It is the Total Fertility Rate.
A negative PGR such as -0.19 means the population is falling, as you might expect from a TFR less than the replacement rate of around 2.1.
(The replacement rate is not 2, because of the slightly higher sex ratio of boys to girls).
If the population growth rate was 1.3 per 1000, then the number of babies born in all of Slovenia would be 2053000 / 1000 x 1.3 ...that's 2669 babies.
No EU country is above the replacement rate and Slovenia is 209th out of 222 countries for which the TFR is available: http://is.gd/DawQb6
With bars choosing to close down rather than face the government's demands that they transmit their beer statistics directly to Laško government headquarters, this depressing trend is set to continue, as no respectable Slovenian girl can face live, non-battery-powered sex action - without first being rendered close to unconsciousness.
Let's hope HSE goes bankrupt and we have some power cuts.
The National Poet Of Slovenia In A Language People Understand isn't surprised by any of this. www.maria.si

DNEVI POEZIJE IN PIĹ ÄŚANÄŚJE TOVARNE VONJ
Days of Poetry and Ptuj's Chicken Factory Smell
PASSIVE CHICK-KU
Grainy bird sidestream.
Wet brown dog that jumps - onto
The layzee. They're foxed?
4pm Drava Stage: smell and weather conditions combine perfectly for the Ibsen-esque mood piece Wedding Meatball by internationally acclaimed Scandinavian aroma artist Per Utnina.
A wedding photographer worried about his camera cowers windswept on a bridge above an angry river locked in a struggle against the grim weather with a soggy bride, groom, and umbrellas, while amid the hopelessly sodden conditions a rotten meat flavour intersperses between the raindrops, and accentuates the helplessness of man against the wild uncontrollable heart of nature and Perutnina Ptuj's smelly poultry rendering emissions - with the existential angst underscored by the huge choppy Drava raging past beneath the party's feet. (Filmed in sepia).
Average flow up 60%-ish since September arrived.

NPOSIALPU's deleted observations on the other half of the story...
HY-UND-DIE-KU
Presumably this
Explains why the entire board's
Been driven away.
Well this story is a lemon and only firing on two cylinders. It needs welding to this other article:
http://www.slovenskenovice.si/novice/slovenija/blitzkrieg-na-darsu-na-jutranji-skupscini-menjali-nadzornike-0
...which explains that on this very same day the entire supervisory board was "dismissed due to lack of professionalism".
This tells us four things.
1. Nothing freaks out Slovenian state-controlled business persons like an official profit. It's just an abomination unto nature.
2. It's an auspuff-piece of journalism. If the ST's editorial balance was that of the wheels on your car you'd be in the river.
3. Transport in a rentier economy based on a parasitic monopoly is very expensive.
4. They'd better watch out at NLB.
As Mark Twain said, "Few of us can stand prosperity. Another man's I mean."

TO HELL AND GOON
Secular business plan? Get your hat:
Magnificat, else you're hellcat.
Eminence grease our plate:
Thou shalt stay out of date -

Once again Mary has gone to heaven. And this time don't come back! We have enough confused virgins already, still being left to their assumptions. One last time: babies don't come out of your bottom.

Good news for Essex-Slovenia relations...Verse offering thanks in the approximate langwidge of Loughton. The deleted poem/comment here went:
DEPOSITORS AS FOOTBALLS: YEWMAN RIGHT NICE 1 4 ESSEX

Rizzulwt! Bank wiv yer dough

Yes you heard right, you now officially have the human right to get back your money that Slovenia's Ljubljanska Banka decided it wasn't responsible for 23 years ago by renaming itself Nova Ljubljanska Bank.
The affected despositors will probably never be Slovenia's customers again. Victory!
"Every cow herder would know that this is a good deal," says BoĹľo Dimnik, referring to Slovenia's rejection of an offer by late Croatian President Tudjman 20 years ago that would have brought the squabble to an end with a result identical to this one.
With only another year to wait, and with stimulus generalisation being the way it is in humans, it is possible the depositors are going to actually want to see their cash, rather than rely on some blithe electronic statement alleging they have it.
This makes the decision excellent news for this money factory next to the M11, where all of Slovenia's euros are made.
If your government needs some readies printing, badger them and they will do you them for next Friday!

facelessness
Election Morning Ptuj Weather: Clear until 1 a.m., then intense sudden dimethyl sulphide descending into clouds of jealous drunk men. Retch-inducing stink lingering overnight.
Election Sunday: the face-off of the faceless. After Emperor Miro won, this poem, and opinion of the 1992 Kramberger murder's effects on his strategy in the Slovenian election of 2014, disappeared from The Slovenia Times comments on this page. Imagine this lot at the office party!
KRAMBERGER'S-BELIEF CROCKED-JEALOUSY THEORY
Quintessential new broom remains shtum,
Wouldn't stick out in unfurnished room.
Don't protrude - else the voter
Turns on you like a Rotar -
Jealous of the attention - kaboom.
In Slovenia whom you vote for is determined by (1) Whom the polls say you will vote for, and (2) Which of those whom the polls say you will vote for is the most utterly faceless and least dissonant with the narrow-minded prejudices you possess.
So for candidates, electioneering in Slovenia is a tricky one, something like trying to please Daily Mail readers on coke.
The dangers of being too interesting are all too real.
A glimpse at Slovenia's JFK moment shows why...with jealous drunk Slovenian perceptions in square brackets:
1992: in Jurovski Dol - population 361 - a normal unsuccessful drunk Slovenian huntin-shootin-fishin-type living with his mother notices something unusual happening in the street [beady-eyed alert] involving someone not-from-around-here [instant suspicion].
Ivan Kramberger is from the distant village of Negova 17.9km away - population 329 - [this foreigner is attracting a crowd's attention for some reason].
Popular [if I stop him being popular I will be more popular] eccentric [look at him drawing attention to himself - we hate that] generous [puzzled rage?!] entrepreneur inventor [look at this rich smartass], back from Germany with long hair and accompanied by a monkey [clearly a foreign plot to take over Slovenia] wearing unusual attire [extrovert behaviour = gay = pedophile] makes popular speech [people are listening to him - something must be done about this].
Normal unsuccessful blind-drunk 42-year-old Slovenian villager who lives with his mother shoots abnormal attention-seeking unusual-looking philanthropist dead from the window of his mother's house.
That's it. No grand political divide. No conspiracy - although the Slovenian internet milks this for all it isn't worth. He simply got shot by some jealous narrow-minded yokel with rather more sophisticated weaponry than shooting rabbits/being drunk might deem sensible.
And now the important part of this story. For Slovenians, locked within their tiny conceptual, linguistic and media landscape, this means the assassination is "shrouded in mystery".
So you can sort of see why Mr Cerar is keeping his (perhaps armoured) cards close to his chest.
Shooter Peter Rotar got 12 years. 22 years later, attempts to erect a monument to Kramberger in Jurovski Dol were put on hold by the mayor after protests from a resident, who threatens to deal with any statue visible from the window of his mother's house - by blowing it up.
And the name of this politically involved citizen? Peter Rotar.

Ptuj weather 3.20 a.m.: Light breeze, cooler, with no chicken factory smell at the moment.
Arms dealer Nicholas Oman yearns to come back to his house in Bled. In return he will forget the 1990s. Let's face it, it's not that hard.
I think we should welcome him to his natural home. Let's not forget Slovenia ripped him off for 850,000 gas masks - more than enough for Ptuj's residents, tourists, drinkers, diners, and all their pets and livestock, who for an easy hire charge can be ready for the next poultry-related weather event.
The real shocker in this document is that something once actually happened at Maribor Airport, which is up the road.
www.mariborairport.si
It was a nice quiet place to transfer embargoed weapons, for that horrible war.

Ptuj weather: Gusty with aldehydes.
This legal research just in from the Department of SDS Studies. Uses political weapons against the judiciary to complain about the judiciary being used as a weapon against political opponents.
How many lawyers does it take to interpret a human right? JJ's sentence will be over by the time they figure even one of those out at the Poli-buro.
Meantime it's just one more chance to over-intellectualise. What about us?
Look at them go!

Suddenly DL is the Desperately Lame party.
It is some kind of achievement, even when your audience doesn't understand a word of your language, if you can still elicit that cringey feeling that begins in the inner thigh area. Try the video and see if it works for you!
A possibly really sincere vision lost to the sincerely impossibly unreal sight of strange bedfellows trying to look un-boring in their mean 'hood of whiteboards and box files. What is this country coming to?
Complete with the excruciating Minims in the Key of Reasonableness which our official impressarios have decreed all Department of Slovopop music must contain - I wonder who thought this would get who stampeding to the ballots? Jailbird Janša will surely be able to see off any threat of competition in the arena of political rapping.
All the parties share one problem: how to engage politically with the yoof, without giving them any money? They are relying on trance music over at the Pensioners' Party, while Ljudmila prepares to stun the NSi conference by being lowered naked onto stage from a cloud, poll-dancing (geddit?) with her body completely covered in tattoos of scenes from the Old Testament.

HAVING A BALLAD FEELING
As Slovenia's opposition leader reveals that he is refusing to pay his TV licence http://www.slovenskenovice.si/novice/slovenija/jansi-zarubili-denar-zaracunali-se-obresti it seems a good time to remember that there are better ways to make your own entertainment, such as this jail tale, specially deleted by the Slovenia Times in October 2014..

THE BALLAD OF BAD READING IN JAIL
Reading in jail, Mladina? No...
Slovenske Novice,
Which then wipes ass of Muslim guy,
Ordinarily rendered there -
Guantanamo - no - no inferno,
Say hi to Koper's mayor!
No fruit there was, hiring Matoz:
Re Srpak's stir, oh poor.
Zagajski tosses - but not bombs
At Kresal and Pahor.
Square meter norm of student dorm,
It's hotter upstairs - phwooar!
JJ's not thrilled - the thing he loves,
Your body politic,
May send him shovelling biomass,
To heat Slovenia's nick,
A Finnish gig o'watts and joules -
That's kinda ironic!
The Warders? Mostly NSi.
Prison: Catholic mainstay.
Election slime heads, thanks to crime,
Towards a more purpler shade of gray:
Three and nine tenths percent could jump
To four - unhip hooray.
Solids, total, not dissolved,
Creep through old pipes that throb,
While gritty bread and titty mags
Surround Dob's stiffed nabob,
True hell: RTV-SLO in cell -
Stir flashbacks of old job.
Once made, he lies in his own bed,
Amid the smell of socks:
A buffet rough, no thermostat,
A barely humane box
Free!! Tourists pay for similar
To Sava...paradox.
"25 prisoners and 12 employees had not received their salaries for several months."
http://www.varuh-rs.si/media-centre/work-and-news/news/detajl/prisoners-may-be-asked-to-contribute-towards-accommodation/?L=6&cHash=e57339a3c877fe2a2c2c619933834b4b
So it's just the same as on the outside! It's like a holiday camp!

THE BALLAD OF BAD READING IN JAIL
Reading in jail, Mladina? No...
Slovenske Novice,
Which then wipes ass of Muslim guy,
Ordinarily rendered there -
Guantanamo - no - no inferno,
Say hi to Koper's mayor!
No fruit there was, hiring Matoz:
Re Srpak's stir, oh poor.
Zagajski tosses - but not bombs
At Kresal and Pahor.
Square meter norm of student dorm,
It's hotter upstairs - phwooar!
JJ's not thrilled - the thing he loves,
Your body politic,
May send him shovelling biomass,
To heat Slovenia's nick,
A Finnish gig o'watts and joules -
That's kinda ironic!
The Warders? Mostly NSi.
Prison: Catholic mainstay.
Election slime heads, thanks to crime,
Towards a more purpler shade of gray:
Three and nine tenths percent could jump
To four - unhip hooray.
Solids, total, not dissolved,
Creep through old pipes that throb,
While gritty bread and titty mags
Surround Dob's stiffed nabob,
True hell: RTV-SLO in cell -
Stir flashbacks of old job.
Once made, he lies in his own bed,
Amid the smell of socks:
A buffet rough, no thermostat,
A barely humane box
Free!! Tourists pay for similar
To Sava...paradox.
"25 prisoners and 12 employees had not received their salaries for several months."

So it's just the same as on the outside! It's like a holiday camp!

ptuj weather
Ptuj: aroma of ammonia, it's June in Sub-Pannonia - and apart from the smell of deceased poultry gluck-reduction, there is still very little flesh on display.
As go-ahead Ljubljana welcomes the penile architectural millions of the Muslimen, is there any other paradise on earth like Ptuj in this day and some other age?
Why yes! Mormonic Wasatch County - aka "Utah's Switzerland" - which enjoys "a culture that shames girls and women" with a school district ban on "'extreme clothing'"...and where they'll fix you up if you get it wrong.
Face-reddening included!

COMMEMORATIVE REPOST
This poem was one of the ones considered so upsetting that it was deleted at the time, twice in fact, before being reposted and finally erased again in The Great Deletion of September 2014.
It commemorates the second record European lottery jackpot win in Slovenia in just five months and suggests a better way to play. In Slovenia 15% of your jackpot win goes to your local council.
TURN OF THE PARTY MEMBERSHIP CARDS
The Slovenian gambler's red hot? Or he
Spends every last cent on the lottery?
Hope of winning back loot
Is the poor's substitute
For short straw in economy tottery.
Again?! Damn this free market exploitation of the irrationality of the masses! Once again 85% of the winnings have gone to some loser! https://plus.google.com/+SolarpanelSi/posts/bPWjzo6www6
What this shows is that all the other millions of losing entrants with their badly chosen numbers clearly didn't know what they were doing. They should be protected, somehow.
Luckily we have volunteers like Peter Turner selflessly devoting their lives to helping others to find their lucky numbers, with reminders in comments sections everywhere from Brattleboro to Basingstoke.
But the Slovenian government has the resources to try all the combinations, ensuring that the public would always win.
Surely they could just pass a law making gambling illegal in Yugoslovenia, and let only local government bureaucracies safely purchase lottery tickets in bulk on behalf of the workers.
Then whichever obÄŤina won, the public would win every time, getting back 100% of the 50% of the money not kept by the organisers, instead of this puny 15% of a fraction of the 50% that we have at the moment.
I'm sure the government would be more organised, and not keep betting on 25 and 6 - I guess 91 isn't an option.
Actually you don't even need a lottery, as I am willing to offer my own free service.
I will guarantee lucky participants 50 cents for every 1 euro they give me, just as good as the lottery, and what's more I will repeat this offer endlessly as fast as Pete Turner can cut-and-paste on his computer unlike Mr Zamuda of the Ptuj ZZZS: http://www.aaa.si/q
As for the other 50 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR4yQFZK9YM
I feel sure that, barring obvious polenta shortages, the servants of the Yugoslovenian state would be much happier trusting either myself or the authorities to roll the public dice on the public behalf, and spend the winnings wisely...and would not mind being left in the dark about the sordid details of these complex mathematical issues - just like the old days!

And, er, now.

If only Rev Rowan wasn't trying to herd us back into church on the quiet he would be teetering on the verge of rationality here, with his review of an essay that should, from the looks of things, be required reading for all of Slovenia's accounting-crazed two-million-and-one political candidates.
He doesn't say anything about the "Protestant" work ethic which has been used to propel all this pillage to its logical but unhappy conclusion, or the godless hipsters who pointed out it was all rubbish decades ago - NPOSIALPU is for a fair, but fairly lazy, atheist ethic.

Here's the deleted song/comment. Get up on the dance floor!
MAD ON A CONSUMER COMPLAINTS BLOG
Can't make it through to Interles
Creditors can't get through
Double glazing cost? He was
Representing you?
He was beat to the tweet
Some felt had, at the cash they blew
No-one made him steal
Here's a PM akril
Shiny and new
Like a Vogrin
Crutched, thinks RadonjiÄŤ is fine
Like a Vogrin
Econom - eeks!
Next to mine
...etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pkYxH8LZrM
Those who can, do - those who can't, teach - and following the same logic Maribor University's least popular Chancellorial candidates should become PM, apparently.
His mate had some problem with the bill payments, and the building work not getting done, apparently. He doesn't just stalk horses, either.
