Wow! Great job, mate. Thanks a bunch. Any idea which boot is the best of the current tour? Sound wise, that is?

Thanks a lot, guys :ok: It's good to finally be an adult :D And I had an 18-year old to celebrate with... ... :P ... :P ... It's called Highland Park Single Malt (yum!) :bigsmile: :lol:

There was a movie 20-something years ago that discussed this issue and in the end they arrived at a conclusion which I agree on, despite not having a very strong religious belief myself: modern medicine could very well be God's way of performing miracles in this day and age. We don't need...

I agree with Duke. The fact that my job is over on the 31 of January suddenly feels like a relief more than something bad :D Thanks Perun and Onhell, I needed the perspective ;)

3 Metallica albums in the top 10, and only one Maiden??? Where is Led Zeppelin? Def Leppard? Kiss should indeed be an obvious choice. Who compiled this list?

2 fun quotes that make me laugh. I like men with a future and women with a past - Oscar Wilde  :innocent: :P I don't want to be the member of a club that would accept me as a member - Groucho Marx There are many ways to skin a cat...    I don't know who said it, but someone on this board is...

Tomorrow I start Spanish bull taming lessons.  I will decide whether I am number two, five or six. I will then put up with sharpened jackknives, conveniently, for my restaurant's bulls. Menu items are: Raging Bull, Tigers' Stripes, Cattle Decapitation, Fillet of haggis, Celtic pies filled with...

When the public smoking ban was enacted in Sweden the summer of -05, some people were afraid for the restaurants, pubs and bars and their business. It turned out that business was better than ever, while staff felt better, less sick-days etc. Go figure... It even got me to quit smoking after 25+...

Sweden too is a sexist society. Just because some things are being taken care of doesn't mean that there aren't other problem areas. Maternity leave vs. paternity leave...can anybody guess who takes the longer time off work? Right, the mother of course. Why, is it because the father is incapable...

You get that amount once a month until the children are 16 (18 if they continue in school - "prolonged baby bonus"). Very generous, in order to give all children a minimum financial security. The problem is that many people earn so much that they can save this money, almost a month's salary...

Have a good one, Mav :ok:

Genghis - what do you mean by "baby bonus" system in Sweden? I really don't understand what you mean. Is it that the government pays a kind of child allowance for each kid you are responsible for? When that system started it was to ensure that all children had a "lowest mutual standard" that...

In Sweden we'd see a reduction of population if it weren't for the immigration - that's the only reason why our population is still growing. The age of women having their first child has risen over the last couple of years. Today, the mean age for a first-child birth is 35 years. It's harder to...

In Sweden we've had deposit on beverage cans and bottles for a long time and 95 % of all soda/beer cans that are sold are returned and recycled. In most apartment buildings we have to sort our refuse in to 6-9 different fractions - plastic, newspapers, regular paper, plastic containers, metal...

Re: The Last Word And your ears will grow, your behind will get a small, fuzzy, furry ball and your two front teeth will be very long... Sorry.

Fate, no, or maybe, or no or... Predetermination, sort of... I believe that through our lives we come to these crossroads, or what you want to call them. We come to these crossroads every now and then, some often, some seldom. You choose which path to choose but I believe that in some ways what...
