DISCLAIMER

I wish I could organize my blog, because I hate the muddle, but ... I do not know how to do it, because, as Calin says, I am parallel with the technique, and he did not give "a shit" in helping me! I can not expect Britons help, because, from my experience with the natives, I found that, these attitude belongs to British culture, i.e. they boasts that they like to help, but in fact, they only want to have a benefit from other ethnic group hard work. Maybe the Romanians would help me, or maybe ... not! I suppose that if my blog is visited by Romanians from Romania, they will not help me, because I "do not kiss nobody's ass" and, especially, because "I tell what I think". However, what seems to me strange is the fact that my posts in Romanian have views, and I do not think that among the English people there are Romanian speakers!

As, I know only an elementary English, although I made my entry on Internet 13 years ago, and I live in the UK for 6 and a half years, I'm not sure if my posts translation is understandable for English speakers. It is about the phrase topic, the multiple meaning of words and that Google translate helps me very little, the translation, there, being bad or very bad. So, I rely more on my own common sense. I would like to make myself understood, because I intend to post many of the things that I know and lived, to be used by any kind of audience.

Within one month and one week, since I started working on the blog I posted 17 articles, but not getting any comment, although, I tried to do a good job, I do not know if English speakers understand me.

I say I know only an elementary English, because I have not ever had the ability to learn a foreign language. Also, I do not talk often to ordinary people, but inside institutions, where the civil servants speak a standard English, with which I'm doing well, especially as I write quite many complaints, I being a chronic discontent. With ordinary people I speak only rarely, because I understand slang or "county" dialect hardly and that, more or less, most people speak too fast (perhaps with the intention to put me in difficulty) for my understanding.

Besides these, most British, talk and even write less in standard language. I had the proof when I was at English Functional Skills course. I mated with ordinary people, of British origin. We have been assigned to separate labels, some containing words in standard English and some slang. As my colleagues did not know how to do the job, I did it myself. I managed to do a perfect split, because I know the standard language. I put on a column all standard words, and what was left (an equal number of words) I assumed that they are slang and I put on the other column.

Some may wonder why I posted, as a profile picture, one which represents me, opening the envelope containing the Naturalization Certificate; somehow to brag ?! And my answer is: YES. I did this because obtaining the British citizenship was the greatest achievement of my life and that in these picture I look best!

TIBERIU si CORNEL

  Aceasta postare este continuare a articolului mai vechi: YOUTUBERII ROMANI, sau CREATORII (mai mult sau mai putin) DE CONTINUT (mai mult sau mai putin de calitate)   Obisnuiesc sa urmaresc, regulat, doar canalele care, chiar imi “spun” ceva. Din majoritatea canalelor, care au sau nu un subiect, vizionez un vlog, poate 2, din curiozitate si decid daca merita sau nu. Sunt unele pe care le-am urmarit un timp, dar din anumite motive, le sau le-am abandonat.   De curand, adica acum vreo trei luni, cautand nu-mi amintesc ce sau de ce, pt copii, am vazut in lista de recomandari din dreapta unui video, un titlu care spunea ceva de o casuta din padure. Din curiozitate am dat click pe video si am vizionat vlogul, apoi am dat click pe un altul. Am vrut sa vad continutul canalului si, de atunci nu m-am mai oprit, pt ca….. i-am descoperit pe cei mai simpatici si carismatici “baieti de baieti” de pe net. Din acel moment canalul TIBERIU si CORNEL  a devenit SUPER DOZA MEA ...

YOUTUBERII ROMANI, sau CREATORII (mai mult sau mai putin) DE CONTINUT (mai mult sau mai putin de calitate)

VLOGGERI, INFLUENCERI, PODCASTERI in viziunea mea, de aici de pe deal din UK”! pe care ii urmaresc, mai mult sau mai putin regulat, chiar daca apreciez munca lor. Din postarile unora dintre ei, razbat, pana la urechile mele, urmele unei trasaturi unice a caracterului romanesc, in care un alt roman nu poate fi mai destept si mai frumos decat el/ea (cel ce posteaza).   Cele mai prezente clipuri pe YouTube, (cu cele mai multe vizualizari), sunt cele muzicale: manelele (urmarite de categoria cea mai mare de romani cu o educatie mai mult sau mai putin indoielnica), muzica creata pentru auditoriul foarte tanar si….restul genurilor. NOAPTEA TARZIU – o trupa compusa din 3 tineri, pe care am descoperit-o de curand si care m-a surprins placut nu numai cu muzica lor dar si cu prezentarea. Destepti baieti! Urmeaza continutul facil, care nu oboseste creierul, pentru adolescenti, continutul pentru copii si…..restul.   Oricum, privesc la toate genurile de clipuri, in functie de chefu...

BILE DE MAMALIGA

Mie imi place mamaliga mai mult decat painea; lui Calin nu, dar…………cui ii pasa!!!?? Ingredientele le cumpar de la Super Lincs, din Lincoln High St. LN5 7PR , de la raioanele cu produse romanesti. De obicei gatesc numai cantitati mici de mancare, (Calin nu mananca de 2 ori acelasi fel), din care lui ii pun 2/3 iar mie 1/3 din cantitate. Deci: intr-o craticioara inox (pentru ca nu am ceaun), pun cam 600 ml apa sa fiarba pe plita aragazului electric (nu am plita cu flacara si nici vatra cu foc de lemne in curte), adaug sare, putin ulei si presar malai ca sa vad cand fierbe apa. Cand incepe sa fiarba, dau butonul la foarte incet si torn toata cantitatea de malai (cam 150g) dintr-odata. Despart malaiul cu lingura de lemn in doua. Lingura ramane in oala pana la sfarsitul fierberii de 30 minute, dupa care incep sa amestec mamaliga pana cand nu se mai fac cocoloase si devine o pasta omogena (cam 5-10 minute). La sfarsit, ud dosul lingurii cu apa rece si nivelez mamaliga; o rastorn pe fund ...
