I Have The Best Wife On The Planet! (knife stuff)

[Bald Brick]

Bald Brick; "And our third president, Pehr Evind Svinhufvud"; that's a bit of a tongue twister, mainly the 'Surname', my dentures become unstable trying to say it.  

And Svinhufvud was only half his surname. His full family name was Svinhufvud af Qvalstad. What about that?

The "svin" in Svinhufvud stands for "swine" in Swedish, and "hufvud" is an older spelling for "huvud", meaning "head". The name reflects the family's coat of arms: a boar's head under a star.

And it's simply pronounced "sveen-hoo-vood".

Aha, it's easy when you know how 
I was trying to say Svinhufvud, as 'Svin - Huff - Vudd'. "sveen-hoo-vood" sounds and flows a lot better. 

Kind of odd being Australian obviously coming generations ago from Europe, Britain. Culturally it's a bit like living on the Dark side of the Moon. Our great 'Artist' Barry Humphries, of "Dame Edna Everage" fame has a lot to say about Australians being very displaced, he's actually more a Surrealist and thinker, than an Old Lady.

Knives hey, ... what would we do with out them.

Very important to know all these 'titbits' of information, seriously I love it.

The Art of 'Story Telling' should come freely, especially in these days; thanks for the Story Rudge, another good one.

Thanks for the complement.
