MiloMorai Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I really dont want to see the assembly manual for that one. The question is why does Mr King have those items?
rmgill Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 And they have guns too! I nearly coughed up my tea when I saw Wallander pull out a gun. And then he later drops it in a cafe where he was drinking. I had to remind myself that the asshattery with guns I was seeing by 'Swedish' police in both versions was just TV shows and that I hoped that the Police were more competent than that in Sweden with firearms.

In defense of the Swedish lady cop, you guys know it is a bitch to pull one´s pants up or down in a restroom stall if you are carrying any kind of holsters in your belt, and sometimes you don´t want pricey equipment to hit THAT floor. Also, sometimes you have a bowel relief so epic and pleasant that it kinda dumbs you down Edited February 25, 2018 by toysoldier

Beats doughnuts every time! best cop breakfast I have ever seen has been in Hungary near Lake Balaton: fried fish fresh from the lake and a beer. Yes there is zero promille alcohol on the roads in Hungary. Oh actually a lot of people go to Ikea for the restaurant actually. cakes, coffee, cinnamon buns, köttbullar... and don't buy any furniture.

Ssnake Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks, so I have just been branded as one of "the nerdiest of geography nerds" because I actually do use "Finnoscandia". Well, I guess the price to pay for taking geography as a main specialization course at highschool.
wendist Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I don`t know how accurate this is but when I went to school many years ago i was taught that Scandinavia originally was a strictly geographical term. Any country where all or part of its territory are part of the scandinavian mountain range ( Skanderna in swedish) is a scandinavian country. Part of it is today submerged under the North Sea but then rises again and make up part of Denmark (Jutland).

Soren Ras Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Estonia turns 100 years! Although not technically a Nordic country, it has close ties to them, particularly Finland Congrats from the first 100 years \o/ https://satwcomic.com/new-nordic /R SATW comic is awesome.poor Estonia. Well maybe they should change their flag to cruciform design first? The Estonian coat of arms (the three lions) is a direct copy of the Danish coat of arms, which is awfully decent of them, I think. The Danish rule in Estonia was fairly brief. But there is a nice symmetry there, after all, since according to tradition the Danish flag supposedly dropped from the sky when the Danes were pillaging crusading in Estonia, and since the banner led the army to victory, it was henceforth adopted as the national flag by King Valdemar. Congratulations, Estonia!! --Soren
Ssnake Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) There's a place in Tallinn a bit down the hill from the Russian cathedral that claims that it happened "exactly here". The hot maroons were tasty, though. Edited February 26, 2018 by Ssnake

I don`t know how accurate this is but when I went to school many years ago i was taught that Scandinavia originally was a strictly geographical term. Any country where all or part of its territory are part of the scandinavian mountain range ( Skanderna in swedish) is a scandinavian country. Part of it is today submerged under the North Sea but then rises again and make up part of Denmark (Jutland). that is a good description.
Yama Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks, so I have just been branded as one of "the nerdiest of geography nerds" because I actually do use "Finnoscandia". Well, I guess the price to pay for taking geography as a main specialization course at highschool. I used 'Vikingland'. Which is undoubtedly terribly unfair, but not wholly inaccurate either. No Vikings in Finland, except maybe in Åland. Although I suppose it depends on how you define 'viking', Finnic tribes were no strangers to seaborne raiding either. "Viking era" in the Barents sea continued into 15th century. And Estonians of the Saaremaa were legendary raiders and scourge of the Baltic. Funny bit: city of Oulu has branded itself as "Capital of Northern Scandinavia" even though it is geographically not in Scandinavia. But maybe they see Scandinavia as a colony for them to rule over...? Edited February 27, 2018 by Yama
Panzermann Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Politiikka This is Finland: After Trump and Putin leave, the president heads across the street for a drink After Mondays summit, president Sauli Niinistö of Finland went to a bar. Just like anyone would after a hard days work. Heta Hassinen HS Julkaistu: 19.7. 9:37 , Päivitetty: 19.7. 10:29 The difference between Finnish president and his American and Russian counterparts became quite clear on Monday evening. After the motorcades of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had left for the airport, president Sauli Niinistö was spotted enjoying a drink in public with his top aides. A picture circulated on social media showed the president sitting at a terrace table of a bar within shouting distance of the presidential palace. Communications Director to the President Katri Makkonen says that people around the table were from the presidential cabinet. It was an informal moment between the president and his cabinet after a long day in a gentle summer evening. That is all there is to comment, Makkonen told HS. Presidents Trump and Putin are usually seen with large numbers of security personnel around them. In Finland on the other hand, the president gets to move around more freely. (...)https://www.hs.fi/politiikka/art-2000005762136.html the world would be a much better place if POTUS could just go to a pub in DeeCee or the Президент Российской Федерации just go for a coffee on the red square.
