Scandinavians Own Us All!

[i_deserve...]

Scandinavia (and Iceland by proxy seeing they're Nordic too):

Annie
Shining
Royksopp
The Knife
6ft tall blonde women
Non-blonde Swedes are even prettier
Henrik Larsson
Freddie Ljungberg
Bjork & Sugarcubes
Jari Litmanen
Mika Hakkinen
Kimi Raikkonen
Keke Rosberg
all those rally drivers
Hitler thought they were kings on Earth - they would have literally owned us
The Cranberries?
Ikea
the guy who invented milk cartons
They all speak English
I have never met a non-friendly Scandinavian - what's with the generosity?
They have definable SEASONS!
Northerners are their decendents - clearly had an early "exile the ugly" policy
Thor
Swedish Eurovision entries - CAMPNESS A GO GO!
Decent amounts of snow
Copenhagen looks nice
As does Stockholm
A Swede runs our football team

I'll stop now.
I think I've proved my point.

And Shining are the best band I've heard in a long time - Post-rock jazz dance!

You forgot:

Lego
Legoland
Lovely Scenary
People who can ski
Bjork
Bjarni Gudjonsson (only joking!, he's crap!)

[i_deserve...]

I said Bjork!

and yes, Lego is another reason Why Scandinavians Are Better Than Us.

Ouch.

How I resent those sexy geniuses.

[John Brainlove]

It's not the Cranberries then...

Copenhagen is an ace city, it was the highlight of my month long Interail journey. The only downside is that it's quite expensive. Had an actual pissup in the Carlsberg brewery as well -there's a museum section, then a bar. Free entry, and you get given 2 free beer-tokens. This Canadian I met said that him and his mate had just kept going back to the start and picking up more tokens, these crazy American girls we were with went one better, and just stole a huge wad of the tokens. Fun was had.

I met some friendly Finns in Budapest as well, they were hulk men tho! about a foot taller than me, and a foot wider.

[i_deserve...]

Cherubs & Dead Combo too...


Monpot - Shame it was Carlsberg, eh?

oh, and Danish bacon...

I went to Stockholm last year and it was beautiful and so clean. One downside to the Swedes tho is their lack of ability to cut loose, they don't party like we do. One thing that may affect that is that booze is sold from chemist like places which shut at midday from Saturday through till Monday so you can only go and buy overpriced stuff from bars or SUPER weak lager from the supermarket. Weird. The Danes on the other hand like to drink and party just as much as the English.....

I want to go to iceland.

[SCL]

I forgot to say mmmmmm Freddie!

[Wiggles]

And Refused!

[tafkac]

I was going to mention Refused, and Cult of Luna, and Mum, and Efterklang. And my three housemates from Copenhagen, who are lovely people; all horribly attractive.

[Monpot]

Lets all save up some pennies and organise a forum trip to various Scandanavian countries.

[Smileadelic]

My Criminology lecturer reckons Scotland is becoming more and more Scandinavian. And Scandinavia is basically Mecca for criminologists, so that's actually a pretty big compliment

Two lovely Swedish twins came 1st and 2nd in the indoor hurdles recently!

My Uni had a large number of Swedish, Norweigian and Finnish (mainly doing some physiotheraphy course) and a lot of them played football - but thankfully they didn't look like the butch gals we tend to see here ;D I think a couple of the Norweigian gals played for Norway in the Olympics!

Has anyone been to Iceland Airwaves? I was meant to go last year but my friend (who I was going with) passed away.
