    Thank you. The music is from a light opera by Gilbert & Sullivan: The Pirates of Penzance. I wrote the parody lyrics.

    Absolutely brilliant. Extremely well done. Thumbs up from both members of the South Sudan Gilbert & Sullivan Society.

    si pana la urma nu aveam intentia sa jignesc pe nimeni, m-a deranjat un singur fapt - la un magazin din sf.gheorghe, n am fost servit ca nu stiam ungureasca - asta i urat - si alte cateva mici detalii, nerelevante cred, pan la urma - una peste alta o parte din unguri sunt chiar de treaba - cred oricum ca e un caz izolat, si oricum se tinde spre globalizare, incet, dar sigur, deci toata vorbaraia asta nu-si are rostul - cearta-te si tu cu altii...succes
