Tempus Tommy

A Dane living in The Netherlands

Tuesday, September 21, 2004  

Sometimes it's really funny to be away from your native country. Last week it was announced that this man and this woman are divorcing.
Since I'm not in Denmark I didn't see it relevant to comment on it, but now - when I talk to Danes and read blogs and articles by Danes - they seem to all have been inflicted by the urge to remain impartial (except for the gossip magazines of course). The rumours surrounding the events are many, and it seems like there is an public opinion forming in favour of the princess. But what do I know - I'm 900 km away from Copenhagen (but a little less far awar from the actual center of events), so I lean back and make the fullest out of the study of my fellow countrymen.
So...dear Danes, forget about being so careful and impartial. I know you all have an opinion, so let it be heard. The royalty is still subject to a public opinion (but you better not gossip about what the prince might or might not have been doing - hehehe).
