thanks Muhler. He has indeed. and this is great for Denmark.

Among this nice little article:
Da kronprinsen ankom for tidligt til Blue Water | Esbjerg | jv.dk

When Crown Prince Frederik arrived to visit the Blue Water Shipping's headquarters at the harbour Frederik arrived in good time.

So suddenly Frederik and his PET's arrived to the entrance outside without the planned welcome comite with the Blue Water-founder, Kurt Skov. He was still at his office on the third floor.

- So I had to tell the Crown Prince that this is how it works here in Esbjerg. You are busy with work and do business, says Kurt in his usual humorous hopla spirit and adding:

- Well, we may just turn the situation into something fun.

And down-to-earth Frederik also laughed at the situation:

- I just wanted to test the preparedness, he laughing noted.

It's not many months ago the exactly same things happened to Mary - she also just walked to open the doors and walk in herself - but she met her welcome comite in the door opening

Yes, it must often be a problem judging the traffic. And if the reception committee don't answer the phone... The royals must have a good chuckle when that happens once in a while.

some great photos from the DRF website

"On the occasion of the anniversary First50 attended Crown Prince opening of the Fisheries and Maritime Museum's new exhibition "Energy from the sea - Danish offshore in the North Sea". Crown Prince visited the following companies Maersk Oil, Blue Water Shipping and Semco Maritime, which are all in the oil and gas industry. Later in the day attended the Crown Prince in a trip on the drilling rig Maersk Resolute."

Crown Prince Frederik visit Semco

“It was a great honour to contribute to providing the Crown Prince with an introduction to our work and what we are concerned about. With more than 15,000 people employed directly in the industry and at least 20,000 related jobs, the oil and gas sector is of great importance to Danish society – and plays an enormous role in Region Southern Denmark. The Crown Prince’s visit contributes to underlining this, and his visit is thus not only important to us. It is also very important to a lot of people in our region,” said Steen Brødbæk after the visit."

The motorway's importance extends thus all the way across Jutland and will have a positive impact on the country.
"Director of Road Directorate, Jens Holmboe, welcomes Crown Prince's presence at the upcoming opening: "We are very proud and honored Crown Prince's commitment to open Silkeborg motorway. We have built a great highway that will be of great benefit to Silkeborg, mobility across Jutland and for the whole country. Along with Silkeborg Municipality and DGI, we have planned a party out of the ordinary and the Crown Prince's participation, so I am quite sure that Denmark's biggest block party is a party, the citizens of East Jutland will not forget, "

It looks like quite a few activities have been planned for this new opening
"During the three days 8 to 11 September, activities include concerts ... as well as organized walking and cycling race on the new motorway."

Thanks Polyesco.

More from BB: Kronprins Frederik var til vejfest | BILLED-BLADET

This highway has been controversial because it was planned to go through one of the most scenic areas of DK, the lakes around the town of Silkeborg.
After many years of discussion and an intervention from the then PM, it was finally decided to let the highway go around the most scenic areas and today it was ready - under budget BTW!

[polyesco]

thank you for the extra info. Under budget? that's rare in my side of the world

So far, it had been a quiet week for Frederik and with Joachim being rigsforstander today, had me wondering.

Now we know Frederik had been visiting Danish troops in Mali
Kronprins Frederik på hemmeligt besøg hos danske soldater i Mali | BILLED-BLADET

"Crown Prince Frederik and Defence Minister Peter Christensen has secretly been visiting the Danish commandos in Mali.
...The Danish commandos are part of the UN peacekeeping forces.
105 UN soldiers have lost their lives in the struggle against Islamic terrorists, and although there is a total deployed 10,000 men, then it is not enough to ensure peace in the fragile country.
Crown Prince Frederik has previously visited Danish troops in Afghanistan"

video and article from DR
VIDEO Kronprinsen er på hemmeligt besøg hos danske jægersoldater på dødfarlig FN-mission | Nyheder | DR
Crown Prince is on a secret visit to the Danish commandos on dødfarlig UN mission
The mission in Mali is the most dangerous mission, the UN is doing.
"Here there was only an exercise. But usually it is in the degree of severity of the 24 special forces, who are the most dangerous UN mission in the world."
http://www.dr.dk/cmsimages/dynimage....caleAfter=crop

Frederik will be regent from the 24 til the 27th

[Muhler]

Thanks, Polyesco.

Yes, the UN mission in Mali is currently the most dangerous and that's saying a lot, considering there is also a UN contingent in Sudan!
The Danish special forces platoon is along with other special forces hopelessly undermanned and over-stretched and fighting at the very front. There are constant skirmishes with Al Queida mainly recruited from the Tuareg bedouin people.
(Oddly enough among the Tuaregs it has traditionally been men who covered up).

[polyesco]

thank you for the extra info Muhler
Impressive indeed. and its always great that Frederik visits the Danish troops wherever they may be stationed

Thanks Iceflower

I see Frederik now has ended/completed his process with a neck collar. Must be freedom...
Great to see him. He looks to be in top form again.

Today, November 30, Crown Prince Frederik opened the conference News Xchange in Copenhagen.

News Xchange is a conference focusing on new ideas, opportunities and challenges for the international news industry.


** BB: Kronprins Frederik holdt stærk tale om unges medievaner ** translation **

[Muhler]

Thanks, Iceflower.

It's funny how adults especially since the wireless and gramophone became common have been worried about the media-habits of the young (read teenagers).
Even back in the time of jazz and ragtime, people were concerned about the young listening to "negro-music" as it was termed back then. - Such racket surely must have a bad affect on their moral!
Then came rock'n'roll and Elvis - why, it was pure depravity!
Beatles with their long hair (conveniently forgetting that men often had much longer hair in the mid 1800's) and their "barbed wire-music"!
The late 60's... well, no one remembers what happened, since everyone was stoned...
Disco and punk in the 70's. - Half the young are lost in a world of outrageous clothes and the rest are chronically depressed.
The walkman in the 80's - the young are all zombies!
The first genuine reality shows in the 90's. What moral will our young develop after watching that?
- and so on and so on.

Every single generation since we lived in caves and the adults back then looked in disbelief at Urg and Garg banging two bones together, have been worried about what the young are up to.
Yet, the human race is still around.
And our children will worry about the media habits of their children as well.

[Roskilde]

Thanks Iceflower and Muhler And Muhler, you say something. I think we are many who are very concerned about our children's use of technical products - I often wish my children had grown up and had their childhood like we did in my generation rather than the childhood they are growing up in today. But yes, such have parents very probably always said And we keep living..
