愚人節路邊社消息

本社記者在全球多部手機安裝竊聽器,以下節錄兩段耐人尋味的對話。

地點:香港

最近懲教署員工對一個失控的監獄感到非常煩惱。以下對話是用廣東話直接寫出。

職員甲:自從近排監入面幾個龍頭大佬死完一個又一個後,成個監嘅人作哂反,唔同幫嘅人仲成日開片,管都管唔掂。

職員乙:傳話北角嗰邊或者會調三個人嚟坐鎮,佢哋同出面d社團有好多勾結,一個係社團阿head,另外兩個係阿head 嘅左右手,其中一個有一排仲做過司庫,佢哋嚟到應該會好似以前咁實行強政厲治,震懾下班監蠆都好。

職員甲:不過我哋呢邊,無間房有地窖,又或者四千呎大,又或者三百萬豪華裝修,驚佢哋住得唔安樂,無心機做好嗰份工喎。

職員乙:好似聽講仲話,有兩個搞開起樓嘅會跟佢哋一齊嚟埋,到時咪叫佢哋搞下d建設囉。


地點:北京

兩位老師談到兩個學生爭做全校領袖生。

老師丙:我班那個洋洋,看他近來對做領袖生野心勃勃。

老師丁:怎麼樣了?

老師丙:今天上語文課,我叫洋洋朗讀課文,他把「熙來攘往」念作「熙來讓汪」,我馬上給他糾正了,可是他聽不進耳,老是說「熙來讓汪」。

老師丁:嗯,然後呢?

老師丙:糾正了好幾次後,他就跟我吵起架來,還堅持他沒有錯。他說他有真才實幹,做班長做得有聲有色,做領袖生非他莫屬,但那個熙來,只懂叫人家替他唱紅,做領袖生有何德何能?

老師丁:洋洋聽起來真的咄咄逼人,其實那個熙來本來也有點實力,不過熙來他搞唱紅也的確搞得過了火,偏離了校長的思想路線,我想校長也應該不會讓他選上領袖生的了。

排隊和人潮 Queues and crowds

A restaurant chain well-known in Hong Kong called Tamjai specialising in mixian (a type of rice noodles) has been talking about expanding to Australia for several years. The vision has finally materialised when the first Australian branch was open in Melbourne CBD in 28th November. Wife, baby and I were already keen to try it out on its second day of opening. 說了多年的譚仔米線往澳洲擴張,到11月28日譚仔在澳洲的首家分店終於在墨爾本市區,一家三口在開張第二天便貪新鮮試了。 We waited for 1 1/2 hours since 19:00 before we got a table. Many passers-by were amazed by this queue and a lady even asked what the queue was about and whether it was indeed worth the wait. She said that the length of the queue had not changed since she last walked by 4 hours earlier! 由黃昏7點排隊等了一個半小時才可內進,其間不少行人對人龍嘖嘖稱奇,甚至有西人婦人說人龍跟4小時前一樣長,問我排隊的目的和米線值不值得吃。 Customers can customise their own mixian noodles by choosing the soup base and ingredients. At the base price, 2 ingredients excluding the more expensive, special ones are included. The special ones...

Czech it out (1) 捷克三日遊(1)

My ‘conquest’ to the east continues after spending Easter in Croatia. Over the Pentecost long weekend (10th to 12th May), three other friends and I went for a trip in the neighbouring Czech Republic. Driving was a handy option for the four of us, as the Czech Republic was not that far away (the distance between Prague and Munich is only about 400 km), petrol costs were more reasonable when shared by 4 people, and it gave us much more flexibility with where we wanted to go. 今年是我的旅遊「東進年」,復活節到過克羅地亞後,我和幾個朋友上個長週末(5月10至12日)前往鄰國捷克玩了三天。由於距離不算太遠(首都布拉格離慕尼黑也是400公里左右),四人同行,駕車不但不貴,而且要往其他地方玩玩也更方便。 The 400 km drive was quite bearable as we have chosen to make a few breaks en route. After stopping at the border for money exchange and purchasing a highway sticker, we headed for the city of Plzen and spent 2 or 3 hours there. We had lunch at the famous local brewery of Pilsner Urquell and tried some ‘local cuisine’. It turned out that the food wasn’t too different from the meaty, hearty German fare, but...

When autumn settles 秋高氣爽

Finally the weather has stopped being temperamental in October, and is giving us as many fine days as we ask for. The increasing chilliness in the morning air, however, is a reminder that beautiful autumn days like these don't necessarily last long! The weather was still rather warm for the first few days of the month. On 1st October, my colleagues and I took an early finish at work and went for the Oktoberfest. While it was not as jam-packed and crazy as the opening day , it was still not easy to find a table. We sat outside during the day time and switched indoors in the beer tent after dark. The atmosphere inside was simply infectious. We all entered a state of exhilaration in no time, as we saw a sea of people standing on the benches, dancing and chanting to the music of the band. It finally dawned on me how people could spend a whole day at the Oktoberfest. Beer, it seems, is the best form ecstasy for many people in Western societies! The cooler weather in the following weeken...
