My Bra is Well Worth Visiting

We appear to be getting somewhere now. With regard to my last post, I received an email (unfortunately I deleted it by mistake so I can't say who it was from) telling me that "besøk" doesn't mean "berserk" after all (I never really thought it did, but I must admit to a slight twinge of disappointment knowing for sure that it doesn't, although I'm not entirely sure why), it means "visit".

I am going to have a stab at the whole phrase now and hazard a guess that "vel vært ett besøk" means "well worth a visit". Of course, I had a big clue here insofar as I am already aware that my site is "well worth a visit", or "vel vært ett besøk" if you happen to be Norwegian. I am still somewhat concerned about the "Bra side" bit, though. It sounds as if my site is well worth a visit because the side of my bra is visible on it. IT'S NOT THAT SORT OF SITE!!!

And I'm still puzzling over the free leggings ...

Are You Norwegian?

"Bra side - vel vært ett besøk. Flere interesante artikler, linker, mulighet for gratis legging av kort pr. e-mail m.m."

Three people have visited my tarot site today from a foreign site that for some reason is linking to it. I went there to find out what they had to say about me, which was when I discovered it was a foreign site. I thought maybe it was Danish or something, but I stuck the text in a language identifier and apparently it's Norwegian. I therefore desperately need someone familiar with Norwegian to translate the above for me.

I am most concerned about the first two words, particularly the first. What has my site to do with brassiers? It seems that several other sites they link to are connected with brassiers, too. And what does the "side" bit mean? Brassiers on the side? As for that sixth word, is it saying I am berserk?

I think maybe words 7-9 ("Flere interesante artikler") mean "Very interesting articles", "linker" is obviously "links", but then we have another strange phrase: "mulighet for gratis legging". Now, gratis must be "free", but since when was I offering free leggings? Then again, it could be that I am offering "mulighets" in exchange for free leggings.

And "mulighet" - is that "mullet"? I don't have a mullet, I didn't even know what they were until the other day. Crikey, they were in fashion when I was a teenager and I had one then, we all did. I even had a mullet wig, which got me into no end of bother (it's a sorry tale involving nails, vegetables, lost jobs and a lot of spilt milk and you can read all about it here). I am going to assume this phrase is referring to free tarot readings, except they're not free anymore.

"av kort pr" ... this sounds like a virus someone's picked-up. Hope they didn't catch it on my site.
