Ah yes, good old Mr Glucklich – I think he used to sit next to my father in Synagogue. Jolly sort of chap.

I don’t think a comment has ever made me laugh quite so much – worth taking the picture for in the first place :) x

Mr Glucklich sounds way more happy than mr happy! I like German.

Reply

bavaria March 18, 2012 at 6:39 pm

I agree, although it could also sound like he was choking… I like German too, I just wish I could understand it :) x

Funny that it isn’t Herr Glucklich?

Reply

bavaria March 18, 2012 at 6:40 pm

I thought that too, will have to have a look to see what the other ones are called when I am in that shop next! :)

Bibsey Mama March 18, 2012 at 7:37 pm

I was going to say the same thing. Why not Herr Glucklich? I would like to see Herr Geschmacklich, played by George Clooney.

bavaria March 18, 2012 at 8:34 pm

Now that’s an idea! :)

A few thoughts that (tangentially) address the Herr vs Mister question. http://deutschlanduberelvis.com/blog/2012/03/english-on-the-march-lady.html

Mr Glucklich? I wonder if it’s the same origin we get chuckle from – sounds like laughter.

Reply

bavaria March 19, 2012 at 8:13 pm

Thank you :) You know it could be. Either that or he’s being strangled! :)

Foz March 19, 2012 at 5:46 pm

Oh I used to love Mr Men. Fab that there is a German one although not sure I’d pronounce it properly!

Reply

bavaria March 19, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Thanks Foz… I don’t think I can either, don’t worry :)

Hi Emma,
We just donated all our Mister Men books……feeling quite bereft.

Love it, reminds me of when we went to France last year and found Mme En Retard. Little did I know my husband took a picture of me holding it up! We love the Mr Men books though they are great :)
