Fängselfesten 2019

Yesterday we had a reunion at the Royal Institute of Technolog, and it was great to see so many of my old classmates. At Engineering Physics (Teknisk Fysik) each year gets a name starting with a F, ours was “Fängsel”, which is a play on the Swedish word “fängslande” that means “captivating” and “handfängsel” which is handcuffs (there is a story behind that).

Rikard Gothäll. When you did not bring a flash you have to look for the natural light sources.

Katarina Bröms and Martin Syberg. Everyone had their picture taken when we started studying.

Johan Hellsvik telling stories about grading a thermo dynamics question he posed to the student last year: “What takes more energy: Google computing ten of your questions online, or boiling a litre of water?”

Kalmarevisan

Uti Kalmare stad,
ja, där finns det ingen kvast
förrän lördagen.
     Hej dick
     Hej dack,
     jag slog i
     och vi drack.
     Hej dickom dickom dack,
     hej dickom dickom dack.
För uti Kalmare stad,
ja, där finns det ingen kvast
förrän lördagen.
||:  När som bonden kommer hem
     kommer bondekvinnan ut :||
är så stor i sin trut.
     Hej . . .
||:  Var är pengarna du fått?
     Jo, dom har jag supit opp :||
uppå Kalmare slott.
     Hej . . .
||:  Jag ska mäla dej an
     för vår kronbefallningsman :||
och du ska få skam.
     Hej . . .
||:  Kronbefallningsmannen vår
     satt på krogen igår :||
och var full som ett får.
     Hej . . .

Robert Johansson, Gunnar Troili and Johannes Hjorth
