Un poliţist stă într-o intersecţie. Vine un şofer şi trece pe roşu. Poliţistul nimic. Acelaşi şofer parchează lîngă el neregulamentar. Poliţistul nimic. Şoferul se dă jos din maşină şi îl scuipă pe poliţist. Nimic. Îi trage cîteva palme poliţistului. Ăsta nimic. Şoferul se plictiseşte şi pleacă fluierînd. Poliţistul fuge după el, îi trage o mamă de bătaie şi îi spune: - Ai trecut pe roşu, n-am zis nimic. Ai parcat aiurea, te-am lăsat în pace. M-ai scuipat, m-ai bătut, n-am avut nimic cu tine, dar nu concep să fluieri fals din Bach.
ABBA were a Swedish pop/rock/disco group formed in Stockholm in 1972, comprising Agnetha Fältskog, Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. ABBA is an acronym of the first letters of the band members' first names and is sometimes stylized as the registered trademark ᗅᗺᗷᗅ. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, topping the charts worldwide from 1972 to 1982. They are also known for winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest, giving Sweden its first victory in the history of the contest and being the most successful group ever to take part in the contest. ABBA has sold over 370 million records worldwide and still sell millions of records a year, which makes them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. ABBA was the first pop group to come from a non-English-speaking country that enjoyed consistent success in the charts of English-speaking countries, including the UK, Ireland, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The group also enjoyed significant success in Latin American markets, and recorded a collection of their hit songs in Spanish. During the band's active years, Fältskog and Ulvaeus were a married couple, as were Lyngstad and Andersson, although both couples later divorced. At the height of their popularity, both relationships were suffering strain which ultimately resulted in the collapse of the Ulvaeus-Fältskog marriage in 1979 and the Andersson-Lyngstad marriage in 1981. These relationship changes were reflected in the group's music, with later compositions including more introspective lyrics. After ABBA broke up in late 1982, Andersson and Ulvaeus achieved success writing music for the stage while Lyngstad and Fältskog pursued solo careers with mixed success. ABBA's music declined in popularity until several films, notably Muriel's Wedding and The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, revived interest in the group, spawning several tribute bands. In 1999, ABBA's music was adapted into the successful musical Mamma Mia! that toured worldwide. A film of the same name released in 2008 became the highest-grossing film in the United Kingdom that year. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 15 March 2010 Un şofer de 46 de ani a ajuns la spital duminică noapte, rănit de o tijă metalică desprinsă de pe şina de tramvai. Bărbatul îşi conducea automobilul pe bulevardul Mărăşeşti, când o tijă metalică a străpuns podeaua maşinii şi i s-a înfipt în picior. Acesta a fost transportat de urgenţă la spitalul Floreasca. Pentru a putea fi scos din maşină a fost nevoie de intervenţia unui echipaj de la descarcerare. "Am fost solicitaţi să intrevenim pentru a debloca o persoană dintr-un autoturism. Persoana a rămas blocată după ce o bucată din şina de tramvai a pătruns prin podeaua autoturismului, după care a perforat piciorul persoanei. Am acţionat cu accesorile din dotare pentru tăierea porţiunii de şină" a declarat echipajul de intervenție. Daimler a anunțat că Mercedes-Benz va lansa anul viitor un yacht Granturismo de 14 metri, la un preț deocamdată necunoscut. Ambarcațiunea a fost prezentată inițial la ediția de anul acesta a Monaco Yacht Show, iar pentru dezvoltarea ei compania germană a colaborat cu britanicii de la Silver Arrows Marine. Designerii Mercedes-Benz s-au ocupat de spațiul interior, precum și de ”forma exteriorului, alegerea materialelor și a combinațiilor de culoare”. Specialiștii de la Silver Arrows Marine s-au ocupat de construcția efectivă și de echipamentul tehnic. Yacht-ul va putea ”adăposti” câteva persoane peste noapte. Mercedes-Benz a mai construit o astfel de ambarcațiune în urmă cu doi ani, când au colaborat cu Cigarette Racing pentru o barcă de viteză inspirată de SLS AMG. The first drop test video comparing the Apple iPhone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy S III has been posted by Android Authority. This morning in Hong Kong, Darcy dropped the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5 a total of four times, each time from an increasing height. To make our drop test more realistic, we tried to recreate the accidents that happen most often in real life. We ruthlessly let the two devices fall to the hard pavement, just to see what happens. Needless to say, it wasn't pretty. See for yourselves. Dayum! The hard aluminum shell of the iPhone 5 withstood the impact pretty well, and the glass protecting the display remained intact. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S3 predictably lost its back cover and suffered damage to the casing and the front glass. Sad, sad, sad.
