    • What do you want to translate?

      I started learning it when I got to uni, but failed the module before Christmas :( Still have all the books and stuff though.

              http://wunbad.yooblog.gr/2007/05/16/21/

              Although I'm starting to doubt if it's ancient or not. Either way, I have no fucking idea what it says.

              theetersecrimp @dark_truffles | 28 Nov '07, 20:59 | X
              • don't think it's ancient

                ...

                lyle @theetersecrimp | 28 Nov '07, 21:07 | X
                • Darn...

                  ...does that mean you can translate it?

                  theetersecrimp @lyle | 28 Nov '07, 21:09 | X
                  • no

                    even if I still had my old greek dictionnaries, I couldn't...

              • judging by their use of

                "..." all the time, i agree, it's a bad review. just ignore it, it'll just make you sad!

                v-synth_tandevir @theetersecrimp | 28 Nov '07, 21:11 | X
                • Maybe I want to be sad!

                  I MUST KNOW WHAT IT SAYS

                  theetersecrimp @v-synth_tandevir | 28 Nov '07, 21:12 | X
                  • Thanks!

                    v-synth was right, it was particularly bad...

                    theetersecrimp @trixiet | 28 Nov '07, 21:40 | X
                    • No it's true

                      The promoter was being very sly. But I'm happy to disregard that, he fed us souvlaki!

                      theetersecrimp @trixiet | 28 Nov '07, 22:46 | X
                    • haha

                      that's not ancient Greek! Why was that your first conclusion? It's Greek, silly!

                      But sorry, no, I can't read it. All I learned from four years of a Greek boyfriend was how to say 'hedgehog', 'giraffe' and 'look at those shoes!'.

                      • I know "Go away wanker"

                        It was quite amusing getting a Greek man to try and translate that...

                        "It means err...stupid...masturbation?"

                        I got the jist of the article, and I only thought it was Ancient because it looked old...

                          The Astronauts, the Mark, the Otters

                          513275931_l.jpg

                          The concerts in Greece are a very poneme'ni history.
                          Limit up in the prices of tickets,
                          Limit down often densely in the antapo'dwsi,
                          arpahte's,
                          manipulation of public,
                          cancellations without statements,
                          exargy'rwsi ejsjtirj'wn…? “o'pote”? dei'sej the organizer that has committed a ka'ro money for other works knowing that live it will become.
                          sound of plate,
                          organisations set up in the leg,
                          Permanent parade those who they accomodate anything other apart from our ears,
                          and the list goes on…

                          It is not changes nothing.
                          As it does not change never and nowhere if involved they do not do something for this.

                          Saturday in whether e'rhontaj says (the Alterground) oj… Astronauts.
                          that I did lent “lalja'”? in post the Interwining.
                          The truth is that comes the Mark Astronaut (that indeed is in the substance the Astronauts, as writes also Vasilis Paylj'dis in the Mic) with their Otters .
                          Pjtsjrjkarj'a poy frames the Mark (Daddy Mark calling in their page).

                          Something equivalent had also happened in live that organised once again the Alterground of in May 2006 with their Savage Republic that they played in the Underworld. For I am then drawn up with this text. And in the croak and in Y.G 3.

                          I recognize in the Alterground that it tries and has fe'rej ancrw'poys and mpa'ntes poy very with difficulty ca apola'mvana differently. Certain I did not even have the expectation them I meet inside borders.
                          For this precisely however the reason I have requirements and the causes/reasons to deal more. Because the overwhelming majority of rests in Greece, that they say that they make concerts, they are ske'toj lwpody'tes.

                          Y.G 1: In their page in myspace the Otters write following under the poster for live in whether:
                          “YEAH SO WE’RE BILLED AS THE ASTRONAUTS - SHOOT US.”
                          In the poster of concert the word “Otters”? it does not exist nor in the bjla' letters.

                          Y.G 2: Ticket 27 Euros (propw'lisi), 30 (fund).

                          Y.G 3: To “Peter pan hits the suburbs” the Astronauts to you lower here

                          Y.G 4: The Otters and the Mark live:

                          Propagate

                            ....thanks for reminding me that people in Greece thinks my band is a fraud. Haha.
