No Beer, No Work

Stonehammer · Post by **Stonehammer** » Wed Aug 25, 2004 1:46 pm

Hey, I am trying to create a screen saver that says, "No Beer, No Work" in as many languages as I can find (ideally I would have in excess of 30 or 40) but I need some help first. If anyone speaks another language well enough to give me a good translation of my quote I would really appreciate it.

Here is some of what I have gathered so far.

Spanish - No Cervesas, No Trabajo (Please corrent my spelling)
Swedish - Ingen Öl, Inget Arbete!
Dutch - Geen Bier, Geen Werk
Australian -Fosters or Sleep (not quite sure about that translation

)

German - Kein Bier, Kein Arbeit.

I'm pretty sure I've got the grammars wrong...

I think Boon did it the wrong way... No Beer, no Work... Not: No Work, No Beer... The last one is the most logical though.

The Viking version:

We drink, we drink, we drink, we drink, we fight! HEY!
We drink, we drink, we drink, we drink, we fight! HEY!
But if we don't fall down and die in the middle of the night,
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and fight! HEY!

That's actually an Irish drinking song

Ah, sorry. But wouldn't it make more sense to have it no work, no bear. As if you don't have any work you will have no bear. Or is it one of those college things? hehe

And Davo, looks like you have an echo on your internet line...hehehe.

Holy Hell - where did you find the translation software - Or are you just a linguistics God?!

And Boon - I did mean no beer no work - as in "If I don't have beer, I ain't doing diddly"

Thanks Lukasz!!

Sorry, but that finnish translation is terrible

It should be something like: "Ei olutta, ei töitä!". So there. It means " No beer, no work!".

What Lukasz posted was more along the lines of "No beer, no results", but with horrible spelling
