Thanks for that Norsk, I can imagine you sitting on the beach on a Saturday afternoon eating your brown cheese and frozen pizza

hahaha..you clearly know norwegians better than most!

i actually have a craving for the brown (and sweet) goat cheese now. i haven't had any in at least 2 years..i wonder if there is anywhere in dubai that stocks it. somehow i doubt it

I spent 18 months in my younger days with a gorgeous norwegian girl whom taught me a thing or two.....but I could never get my head around her having lunch at 11am

Oh and she never seemed to know the difference between AM and PM

Isn't it something to do with being daylight at 10pm in the summer and darkness at 3pm in the winter. Getting used to all that even in Aberdeen was weird enough.

still funny though..

Well...at least you realise there is 'a siutation'! Take a better look round next time, not too close mind or you might get find yourself IN the siutation. There were 20 dudes at the pool bar and 2 stunning girls rock up and not a glance. One guy strutting his stuff up and down the beach. Yes the beach, all 15m of it. And have a listen to what the DJ plays. The final straw for me was must have been some kind of a gay techno anthem with a unmistakable repetitive "###k a man". Sorry to spoil it for you. As they say ignorance is bliss.
