Thank you David. I look forward to the article.
I have been to Borg and the Lofotr Vikingmuseet. A very interesting place and one of many attractions on Lofoten. They used to take on casual staff to work as costumed guides in the summer months. So it was possible to both live and work as a part-time Viking. Perhaps they still do...could be a interesting job vacancy for BAJR to advertise. ( I seem to remember that you needed to be fluent in any two of four languages to work there...)

It has always seemed more sensible, to me at least, for the Northern Isles to be more closely associated economically and socially with Norway rather than the UK. I would also be willing to drift 'a sphere of influence' line southwards and perhaps include Glasgow and all of the east of Scotland north of the firth of Forth. Not so sure about Edinburgh...
As for claiming asylum...Norway has a general election coming up in the next month and there is an outside possibility that the most right wing party in modern Norwegian history could be left holding the balance of power. So any chance of you claiming asylum AD are totally out of the question....unless you are white.......and not from any country that used to be part of the Soviet Union.....and believe that Margaret Thatcher is the 'queen across the water'....and believe that any form of culture requiring a higher intelligence level than 'The X Factor' is a complete and utter waste of time and money....oh and you have to like line dancing...
Just a small indication of the yearning abyss facing Norwegian voters in the coming weeks...:face-huh:
