Very nice! Thank you for posting.

(something that annoyed me more than it should: the Dane said "Yes I said that" instead of "Yes I said" -- perhaps that's the canonical Danish translation, of course, but doesn't seem right).

Fair enough, for being - heart going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes - positive. But they really didn't need to send a camera crew to Rio and LA; when you can hear Citizens talking every language on earth within 10 km of Dept Foreign Affairs in Dublin. BloomsdiversiDay indeed.

I didn’t start the day with a kidney. Pearls Before Swine, my favorite comic strip and frequent mentioner of Joyce, had an excellent Bloomsday strip today.

I found this video stately yet plump.

Nice film. Very apt, very well timed.

So

"Guns.
Keep backwards, please, because there was no good to gundy
running up again. Guns. And it was written up in big capital.
Guns. Saying never underrupt greatgrandgosterfosters! Guns.
And whatever one did they said, the fourlings, that on no acounts
you were not to. Guns."

Nothing stopping you saying "ja, sagde jeg" though? It might come across a tiny bit more... kind of confrontational than "yes I said" but still much less so than "ja det sagde jeg" which fully feels like "yeah, I said that" to me. Weird choice.
