Re: Team top40.nl

"Carol Beer has left her job at the bank and is now delighting customers at this travel agent's in the new town of SpongeBob Square-Pants."
In this episode of Carol Beer's career she's happy to help a customer who hasn't seen his daughter in four years.
Here's the link with Hungarian transcription. Or you could try this link without transcription and try mine: biggrin
(CB)- That's all booked for you, Mr Ryan. One fly-drive return to Toronto.
(man) Thank you. I'm so looking forward to it. I haven't seen my daughter in four years.
(CB)- No.
(man) Oh, uh, one thing I forgot to say, is it possible for me to have a vegetarian meal on the plane?
(CB)- I'll just have to cancel your booking.
(man) Oh, don't do that.
(CB)- Right, done that. So you want to fly to Toronto on the 14th?
(man) Yes.
(CB)- Computer says no.
(man) What?
(CB)- You had the last ticket. Someone must have taken it.
(man) I just need a flight to Toronto, but with a vegetarian meal.
(CB)- I can get you a vegetarian meal on a flight to Berlin that will be leaving tonight.
(man) Uh look, the meal isn't that important.
(CB)- It's a lentil bake with a rocket salad.
(man) No, I don't want that.
(CB)- I'll just put that on hold for you in case you change your mind. Oh, I've got a nut rissole on a flight to Beijing. That leaves in ten minutes.
(man) No!
(CB)- I've got a piece of marinated tofu on a flight to Vancouver.
(man) Vancouver? That could work.
(CB)- It's taxiing now. If you run, you might just get it.
(man) Obviously not, then.
(CB)- No-o.
(man) Can I get to Toronto the following day instead?
(CB)- Computer says no.
(man) You didn't even type anything in then.
(CB)- Computer says no.
(man) Thank you very much.
(CB)- Oh, hang on, hang on.
(man) Yes?
(CB)- Good-bye.

Music
On this 23rd of July, we're diving into the chart of 23-07-2005 where we'll find another animal (remember the mammoth?), because it's the new entry at number 32 in the Top 40: Racoon -- Love You More. It's a pretty, nice and quiet song, meaning the group's breakthrough in 2005.
The song happened by chance. Singer Bart van der Weide tells: "Dennis (Huige) played a bit on his guitar, I was singing a bit, and there was an old-fashioned cassette deck on the table to record everything, and suddenly he exclaims, 'Bart, stop, reel back!' … When we heard it again it was immediately 'wow'".
Here's another video of Racoon with Love You More PLUS their followup-hit Laugh About It, containing footage from some moonlanding. And if you prefer to see the lyrics of Love You More scrolling on your screen, there it is.
One year later, Armin van Buuren - crowned 'Highest Trance DJ of 2017' by DJ Mag - remixed the song.

Can we find a sleeve for Love You More from 2005?
Of course, just a moment,
here it is:

Re: Team top40.nl

It’s very nice of you to translate the Hungarian version.
It’s the English that’s difficult – or rather, how do tell which is the Hungarian??

Well, that father should never have asked for a special meal, tsk tsk tsk
Keep it simple
– spit out the chicken or beef and eat the salad and the dessert,
and ask for extra of those ’bread rolls’ if you're still hungry
- and by all means: Water! Water with the 'bread rolls' - I like all flight meals but the 'bread rolls' sick
if you want to see that daughter in Toronto long missed in the current year.

Your music is a very cute number. Romantic and melancholic. Just as I like it …
I hope the rest of the crew is likewise minded smile

The picture side framed in old memories like the second movie edition of ’Titanic’
and all those little glimpses from a long life lived
– how little it takes to remember where you were during the Cuba missile crises …
What dress was your favorite at the time in 1962 when you left school smile and the shoes

Looking at those events it’s no surprise that the sleeve depicts a rather pessimistic looking bunch.
Thank you for your choice, Captain adriverhoef.

Have you noticed how well we’re doing in the challenges?

Re: Team top40.nl

Are you keeping good track of our rankings in the various challenges that are running, mevrouw Kleine Zeemeermin?
And yeah, you're right, little mermaid, that wasn't Hungarian, it was the Hungarian site's transcription in English at best. biggrin

Carol Beer
"Holidays can be booked at travel agents like this." It's the first line in every video that tells you everything you want to know about holidays. The following video could be nowhere near different, if it wasn't for our own Carol Beer.
We want to know everything there is to know about Carol Beer's career. But first a small introductory word from our video commentator, explaining the meaning of the word 'holiday'.
"The word holiday is derived from the Greek word holidius, which directly translates as sex with coach driver."
Let's watch an elderly couple visiting this travel agency for the first (and probably also the last) time …
(CB) Could I just finish my coffee?
(man) Yes, yes.
(CB) Sue, can you make me a cup of coffee?
(Sue puts down a cup of coffee in front of Carol)
(Carol starts drinking the coffee, drinking it all)
(CB) That was foul! Do take a seat.
(man) We-We-We've got our golden wedding anniversary coming up.
(lady) Yes. We'll have been married 50 years in August!
(CB shrugs her shoulders)
(man) We've been saving up and we've always promised ourselves a cruise.
(lady) Er, maybe something with Saga.
(CB) Computer says no.
(man) Ow.
(CB) Gets booked up early, you see. Old people.
(lady) Oh.
(CB) I've got another option. P&O.
(lady) Ooh!
(man) W-Where does that go?
(CB) Dover to Calais.
(lady) No. We're looking for a proper cruise.
(CB) I've got a good deal here.
(man) Yes?
(CB) The Russian cargo vessel taking nuclear waste to the Baltic.
(man) Well I-I really don't fancy that.
(CB) All the pickled herring you can eat.
(lady) No!
(CB) No…
(CB) Do you have to be in a cruise ship, or could you be in a canoe?
(lady) We're not keen on canoeing.
(CB) Shame. I've got some great deals here on Fiji adventure holidays.
(CB) Are you under 16?
(man) No-o-o.
(CB) No…
(man) We'll leave it then. Thank you!
(lady leaves some apologizing little coughs while rising from her seat)
(CB) Can you put your hands over your mouth when you cough please - that's disgusting!
(lady) Sorry!
(CB coughs across the desk in her direction)

Music
With one more week to go, picking today's choice wasn't obvious. I could have said "let's take Dizzy Man's Band with Every Day In Action" (Dizzy again?), or "Limousine with Goodbye And Thank You" (but it's not the last day of the month yet), or "Silvio with Angie My Love", all from 24-07-1976, but on this 24th day of July I've picked the chart of 24-07-1993, where we find a new entry at number 36: Tatjana -- Feel Good. Tatjana (Šimić) was born in Zagreb in former Yugoslavia and moved with her mother and sister to Rotterdam in 1979. In the 1980s, having won a national modeling contest, she commenced work as an actress and model. In the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, she remains known for her portrayal of the character Kees Flodder, a daughter in the dysfunctional and anti-social Flodder family, which featured in several Dutch comedy films and a television series in the 1980s and 1990s.
Summerheat, Tatjana, what can I say? I've found a picture of the sleeve of the CD maxi-single.
If a picture
paints a thousand words …

Re: Team top40.nl

Thank you for the music, Captain adriverhoef. No, it ain’t over yet.
I’m surprised that I don’t know any of the music you link to.
OK, I’m not a real music person, but how can they all be new to me?

I must say that Croatia has some posh export articles:
KLiK’s cars and Tatjana
– a thousand words in a picture? cool
I would rather say 1001 wink
The Dizzy men leave more to one’s imagination blushing
Are you keeping good track of our rankings in the various challenges that are running, mevrouw Kleine Zeemeermin?
I wouldn’t call it ’good track’ but I check when I check if we got more crunchers to pitch tents for,
and I think it looks good, Captain adriverhoef.
We are #1 in two out of five and ahead of Team Andrax in three out of four.
In the Small Team Race we're in front of MOT which Baxe Camp will take on challenge style for a good part of August.
I also notice that Team Crunchers4Life
- which Base Camp will visit from August 1 to August 5
is doing very well for such a numerically small team.

Today I was especially grateful for your transcription of the Carol Beer dialogue hugs
I couldn’t call her up! crying
I felt bad for the old couple, but then again

not liking pickled herring!!!!
Humpfff!!! devilish

EDIT: Found the picture in a more handy size smile

Re: Team top40.nl

Trekking
If you didn't join the top40.nl team yet, this is the last week of the top40.nl 2.0 trek and it's your last chance to join this team this month.

Carol Beer
Today's episode of Carol Beer's career leads us to a video that we have to rewind to 9:03 in which our believed Carol wants to stretch her legs for a little while before she can help a customer who wants to visit the island of Cephalonia — here is probably why — and the picture will last 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
As usual, our commentator will be introducing this instruction film first:
"The first travel agent's in Britain opened in 1976. Prior to that, people would stay at home and give themselves food poisoning."
Transcription
(note: male customer will leave in a few seconds, then female customer will enter the scene)
(man) And you've nothing at all going to Lourdes?
(CB) Computer says no.
(man) Oh, what a shame.
(CB) Says it's all pilgrimmed out. If you like religion, I can do you a fly-drive to Mecca.
(man) Eh- no, I think I'll leave it, thank you.
(CB coughs at leaving man)
(nice lady who was waiting, leafing through a magazine, is now sitting down at CB's desk)
(lady) Hello!
(CB) I've been sat down all day. Do you mind if I just stretch my legs?
(lady) No, of course.
(…)
(CB) Ri-i-ight…
(lady) Um, I was, er, watching this film last night, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, and I was really wanting to visit the island of Cephalonia where they filmed it.
(CB) Computer says no!
(lady) Oh.
(CB) If you're a film fan, I can take you where they filmed Midnight Express.
(lady) No, thank you.
(CB) I got some rooms in the Towering Inferno.
(lady) No.
(CB) I got a lovely cruise on the ship where they filmed The Poseidon Adventure.
(lady) I-I don't think so.
(CB) No, it's not for everybody, it's upside down.
(CB) I got a two-for-one deal on a canoeing trip where they filmed Deliverance.
(lady) No, thank you.
(CB) 't Says here the locals are very friendly.
(lady) Look, I really only do want to go to Cephalonia.
(CB) Oh, wasn't some of Captain Corelli filmed in Center Parcs? I can get you a very good deal there.
(lady) No, look, I'm just going to leave it.
(CB) Was none of it filmed on a Club 18-30 holiday to Tenerife leaving Stansted on the 9th?
(lady) No. Sorry.
(CB coughs in her hand and blows it towards the astonished lady)

Did you know?
"In Britain, if an old person reaches a hundred, they receive a telegram from the Queen. If they reach two hundred, Her Majesty comes round to their house and personally gives them a bikini wax."
"Transvestism was invented in 1986 by Dr Neil Transvestite, who came upon the idea purely by chance when he was investigating nuclear fission theory whilst wearing his wife's nightie."
"Because of the fat people, Britain is slowly sinking into the sea. An overweight woman in Great Yarmouth recently ate a whole packet of custard creams and half of Norfolk went under."

Music
Once there was a band called The Mozam Skifflegroup. When the name was changed into The Walkers, the band scored several hits, like There's No More Corn On The Brasos and Jack Of Diamond, to name but a few. In 1980 the name of the group was changed again, this time into The Press. Now this is the right time to take a look at the chart of 25-07-1981, 'cause we have a new entry at number 33 there, it's The Press with Cantara Pepe.
The vinyl single's sleeve is portrayed here: … Want to have a look at The Press' LP from 1981? Press Here wink

Re: Team top40.nl

Un petit mot sur le défi 3NENSEI !

Tandis que la Team Kraland se maintient à la 6ème place, la Team top40.nl est 3ème. Avec la possibilité de finir 2ème !
J'ai l'impression, qu'une fois de plus, quand le Base Camp organise un trek, la team qui l'accueille bat tous les records.
----------
A word about the 3NENSEIchallenge!

While Team Kraland remains in 6th place, Team top40.nl is 3rd. With the possibility of finishing 2nd!
I have the impression that once again, when Base Camp organizes a trek, the team that welcomes it breaks all records.

Re: Team top40.nl

stefada, your link to wonderful Claude Nougaro should say Armstrong - very good singer;
I even understand some of the lyrics which I can read underneath the video
Trekking
Sure, we should emphasize that top40.nl is open for new permanent members in a healthy, organic Dutch environment.

Adri! Carol Beer’s male customer is Anthony! shock
devilish Anthony has become a pater!
All hope is gone!
He will live the rest of his life in celibacy! sad
And after discovering that it’s small wonder that Carol Beer is unable to support
the romantic ’Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ wishes of her next customer … oh, it was so cute
– Nicolas Cage all wound up love struck

As to ’Jack of Diamonds’ I remember this Twang version I heard live at a concert at our local ’Kultur Zentrum’. It’s so very different.
How do you think it stacks up to the 'Walkers''s version, Captain adriverhoef?

Your British facts are very interesting idea
Did you know that Margaret May … or is it Theresa Thatcher? ... is about to implement right lane driving in England?
Scotland, Wales, Peterborough, Tamworth, and the low-water-way to Lindisfarne will stick to left lane driving batting eyelashes

Re: Team top40.nl

Je ne sais pas si vous pouvez comprendre les paroles. Mais Nougaro se plaint de ne pas être noir, et ne pas pouvoir chanter le blues pareil.
---------
I do not know if you can understand the lyrics. But Nougaro complains about not being black, and not being able to sing the same blues.

Mais l'original, Louis Armstrong, on peut tous l'écouter/But the original, Louis Armstrong, we can all listen to him.
