Now when I am in the writing mood it is obviously important to emphasize an old point, that I (Michael) has got the honour of knowing Miss US Virgin Islands 2006 a runner up for the Miss Universe 2006 competition.
Whilst I researching I found out via Wikipedia that Je T'aime is also a contestant for the Miss Earth 2007 competition to be held on the Phillipines in November.
Anyways how on Earth (sorry about the punt line) does it happen that I know Miss Virgin Islands.
Well Je T'aime has been close to her grandmother, Eleanor, whom is a close friend of my Far via the Danish - Virgin Island society, that my Far has been heavily involved in for the last 15 years or so.
Back in the mid 90-ties Eleanor and her two grand-children Je T'aime and P.J. visited Denmark and we took them to Tivoli gardens. I will never forget when we sat in a restaurant in the garden and the 10-ish year old P.J. disappeared for a while. He went to buy a long-stemmed rose for all the Girls: Eleanor, Je T'aime and my Mor - vauw

It is a small world - the model
It is a small world - the pop singer story
I am sitting here at work reading my Danish newspaper. All of the sudden there is in typical Danish manner an article about a pop-star that has been declined a tax rebate on clothing and make-up, essential to her work...
Although that is obviously a story in itself, plenty of news papers are covering that and hence I rather want to focus on her, the singer...
Last year you were bombarded on the radio with the track "From Paris to Berlin" and although I knew it was Danish I never got as far as to know it was by a band called Infernal.
So when I all of the sudden see the singer of Infernal is named Line Rafn the penny has dropped. Line is the daughter of my favourite teacher from primary school, Lone.
Besides from being my teacher through out many years, Lone was also one of the key people behind the AIDS information and event group (Ung Sikker Sex), which I was heavily involved in back in the early nineties. Lone ALWAYS had her guitar with her, hence the family must have a musical gene
I remember that Line back in those days where quite involved as a DJ at Niverød Lokal Radio or Kanal 100 as I recall it was also called at some stage.
Anyways no time for writing, I must get down to HMV before they close to buy the album...

Gold diggers in Sunbury ?
Late Sunday evening, some thieves stole 4 material bags from a small factory in Walton on Thames, just next to Sunbury on Thames.
The 4 bags contains cyanide and is used in some chemical reaction to modify metal. Maybe the thieves thought they could break the ancient secrets around alchemism and start producing gold ?
No I think not. It is just another day in Sunbury.
Struck by disappointment the thieves must have escaped by train from Upper Halliford station, which has been closed today.
Upper Halliford train station is the concrete slap just next to Acergy's office building. So when I say closed, I mean two police cars were parked on the pavement of the walkway leading from the bridge and beneath.

The neighbours grass is always greener
This is the area where I have grown up and I recognise his desciptions very well.
The thing is, having tried that, there are other things here in this world to explore so maybe there is an adventurous New Yorker that want's to swap green card ?!

www.copetown.net
Finally there was sparetime to look back at the old domain name http://www.copetown.net.
After we've got this blog I have deemed it double work to maintain both the old website and the new blog.
There are significant advantages of the blog as it is easy to update and enables for posting stuff from e.g. work or BlackMail.
The copetown domain name is however Nicole and my personal brand and it would be a pitty not to utilise it. (we still use the personal email accounts and so on).
Now when you enter the http://www.copetown.net domain name, you will automatically be re-directed to this site.
Nicole however liked the rotating pictures very much and hence they have been embedded on this site. Best of both worlds.
