I have only a short few words to mark my opinion of Swedes: "They eat rotten fish in cans for crying out loud!" Blech.

I can also pretty much say that the Danish stereotypes aren't all that far off when it comes to most of the population of this awful place.... Hmmmm.... Considering my normal moods, I wonder if I'm Scottish? Nah, then I'd at least have a cool accent..... Bloody Denmark....

That's a shame Neb because I heard they speak well of you.

Extracted from a magazine and to be taken with a pinch of salt.

UN survey

Last month, a survey was reportedly conducted by the U.N. worldwide. The only question asked was:

"Would you please give your most honest opinion about solutions to the food shortages in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a HUGE failure.

In South America they did not know what "please" meant.

In Asia they did not know what "honest" meant.

In Eastern Europe they did not know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they did not know what "solution" meant.

In Africa they did not know what "food" meant.

In Western Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant.

And in the USA they did not know what "the rest of the world" meant.

Norwegians see their country as being clean, rural and unspoilt. They see the Swedes as arrogant and being obsessed with state power. They see the Danes as snobbish and urbane.
Yeah that must be tru mwuhahahahah
