Olham 164 Posted December 12, 2010 "Daisy"? It was "Hänschen klein" - I'm sure it was "Hänschen klein"* he sang! You love good films, eyh, Lou? (Me too - I have told whole films I liked to friends, and after they'd seen them later, they would mostly say: everything was exactly like you said! *One of the best known German child-songs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 12, 2010 . Olham, I am guessing that in "2001 - Odyssee im Weltraum" it was "Hänschen klein". But in "2001: A Space Odyssey" it is "Daisy". You must have seen the German version. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hasse Wind 46 Posted December 12, 2010 It's good that Finnish is such a minor language that it's not worth the money to dub films and series into it.

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 17, 2010 . I just ran across the following goggles on eBay: Old Goggles on eBay Apart from the little brass vent grommets on the ones in Olham's original post I'd say these are the same type, vintage, and manufacturer, right down to the storage case. Only real difference is the price, and the claim of where each came from. Buyer beware! . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah, a lot of tricks are played on those who don't REALLY know their details. If you buy expensive, rare items, let "love for them" be your engine - never "greed for having them". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
