It struck me yesterday that the saying "not cricket" (means something
like not fair play) might have something to do with the movie Pinoochio.
Is it so that the movie gave birth to this expression or was it the
other way around that this expression made Disney to choose a cricket as
Pinoochio's conscience ? Does anyone know or has any of you had the
same thougts as I ?

I feel sure that the expression is about poor sports not playing the game
cricket well

"Not cricket" sounds more like English to me. Probably it refers to the
English sport.

Cricket, apart from the insect, is a kind of game that is popular in
Britain, and is as wildly popular in the rest of the world as baseball
is popular outside the US. "Not cricket" means something like "not
according to the (complicated) rules of cricket", hence its association
with unfair play and breaking the rules.

Scrooge's secretary/secretaries
Message 233 -

Hi all!
In the stories by Carl Barks and Don Rosa a
well grown-up lady, Miss Emily Quackfaster, is
Scrooge's secretary. In Norwegian she's
called "Frk. Vable". However in most Italian
stories in the Donald Pocket books Scrooge has
a much younger secretary with blond hair. In
Norwegian she's also called "Frk. Vable". I
can see a few explanations here:
a)
This is two unrelated characters. The elder
is "Miss Quackfaster", the younger is "Miss
Typefaster", but both is for some reason
called "Frk. Vable" in Norwegian.
b)
This is one character in two versions. The
younger one is just another version of the
secretary because someone in Italy or Egmont
or somewhere else didn't like the Barks/Rosa
version. As for the name, even though it
contradicts Barks and Rosa, Egmont prefer to
give Scrooge's secretary the name "Typefaster"
in stead of the original "Quackfaster".
c)
The younger one is the older one's niece
(daughter of a brother of the older one) and
took over her aunt's job at some point
(a theory for some of our friends here),
they are thus two different characters with
the same last name (In Norwegian I have never
seen any first name for any of them, so I don't
know if they also have an identical first name
in Norwegian).
Well, what's correct?
Sigvald :-)

Hi all!
In the "Don Rosa 2003 Calendar" the month
September is represented with "Cash Flow".
This story is not published in Denmark or
Sweden, but at least in the Danish version
of the Calendar a Danish name does appear
anyway. Can anyone here confirm that this
name is "Flyktig kapital"?
As far as I have heard there is no Swedish name
appearing *anywhere* in the Swedish version of
the calendar. Can anyone confirm that too?

The title of the September page is "Cash Flow" (in English), but in the
text itself the story is described as "Likvid kapital".

I think Egmont calls here Typefast (not Typefaster).
In Holland she usually is Juffrouw Eugenia. This means she has a first name,
and *only* a first name in Holland. (And also that she is not married.)
Over the years, this name has been used remarkably consistently.
