• Telge Glíma - Combining History with Bruises

One of Telge Glima's activities is performing. Dressed up like peasants 150 years ago, you can catch them present games like "Badger the Bear", "Hitting the Jug" or "Master of the Circle" at open-air museums like Stockholm's Skansen or Old Linköping. Or perhaps you'll come across them on some mediaeval festival, performing even older games, like backwards leaps, tug-of-war, or glima. Next year we'll be celebrating and we're planning on going to the U.S. A few of us were in Texas in 2003 at a Viking festival, but this time we're all coming. We're looking into festivals and the likes where we could fit in. There are some ideas about where to go and what to do, but mainly we're open to any ideas.

• Learning from German--los geht's! It is estimated the English language comprises 600,000 words, yet there are times when its paucity is hard to ignore. This usually happens when you learn a new word in the (more compact) German language for which there's no English equivalent. German speakers know how this confounds us, and describe that smug sense of satisfaction with the useful word Schadenfreude.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Other words we have no equivalent for include Geisterfahrer (lit. ghost driver)--when a car drives the wrong direction along ...
