Air, I deleted that part thinking it to not be funny which was my only motivation. You can keep Hans island. Come to think of it maybe it was Denmark that tried that one. Where's BerntR gonna ask him. Watch your islands when that guy is around.
I have never heard of this Island. But you are thinking of Denmark, not Norway. But in case you are interested - both Greenland and Iceland were Norwegian until 1814, when Denmark got them by a mistake when Denmark and Norway split up and Norway was given to Sweden (until 1905) as a result of the Napoleon War.
Airair, I didnt know you guys had split , sorry to hear that. So how'd you get away from the tyranny of the Swedes? I guess there's a long history of island thievery with you guys , eh?
Im gonna stop this now before one of my Swedish hockey buddies comes over here and gives me a knuckle sandwich......probably with a side of swedish meatballs too of course. $1.99 at Ikea. Which is Swedish for "out of stock", by the way.
Fellow foreigners (and the Dutch, the people of our ex nanny).....Merry Christmas and may there be Peace on this good earth.

We outsmarted them diplomaticly. But there was some danger of war, but the Swedes found out that is wasn't worth it, so they let us go in peace. We have been sort of friends since (and almost speak the same language).That goes for the Danes as well, but they talk funny - like they have a warm potao in their throat.

A warm potato? I got nothing. I fold. Wait.....
Whats up with the Finns? Always kinda depressed and drinking all night ....which is about 20 hours long. Did one of you guys steal one of their islands?

They have their own language - related to that of the Hungarians. Nobody understands a thing they say. Less than 10% (and sinking) of the Finns speak Swedish , so we have to speak English to them. But they are always angry and drunk, so I try to avoid them..
Darn Fiins good hockey players though so that's got to count for something. And I used to order white Russians for my girl friend when I was about 16. So working our way south what the heck is up with the Dutch?
Don't worry Australia we'll get to your foreign butt in due course. England too if you wankers are still conscious .

All I know about the Dutch is that they speak their language much the same way as the Danes speak theirs. And they love tulips, wooden shoes and wind mills. Enough said. But they have good speed skaters. That has always been of interest for me. Even 20 years before the days of Eric Heiden (wun all 5 gold medals in the Olympic Games in Lake Placid 1980 - but you probably knew that?)

Well, I guess that having a nuclear superpower as your neighbor from which you gain independance less than a century ago and had some "trouble" with in WWII and cold war tend to get people a little edgy...

I think you are on to something there.
What a shame that it's not "in" to learn Swedish in Finland. It would be nice to be able to speak together like one happy famliy here in the North ..
