<<she said the swedes think the norwegians are bunch of country bumpkins>> Ask her what she thinks of the Swedes from Skona. Even Swedish television runs subtitles when they interview somebody from Skona. A friend of mine once observed Berliners look down on the Bavarians (southern Germans), Romans look down on the Sicilians, and Stockholm residents look down those from Skona (southern Sweden). New Yorkers don't look down on anyone, do they?

<PS shamtheman, I asked tekgirl what the difference between swedes and norwegians was and she said the swedes think the norwegians are bunch of country bumpkins--so you and yours should be right at home on this thread with Buck and DS and aerokat and all... > This is where the difference is: 1)Tekgirl is hanging out with the wrong people obviously. 2)Norwegian woman have a brain and hard to get.Swedish women are quite easy and No brains. 3)Norway gave the finger to EU.The sweds ran in the hope of some hand outs. 4)Norwegian drink a lot.Sweds drink even more. 5)Norway being at one time part of Sweden obviously a sore point they are independent and hit OIL .Kind of like the brits opinion of the US. 6)They both tax the sh..t out of you.Norway just does it better and more. I like country pumpkins and have always found them to be genuine even though they talk funny. PS Well done,I think you have ran MB off.Heard CUF and DR.ID went surfing today.
