Since living here in Norway I'd say the general culture is the same, but as soon as you have a few drinks they're basically British and don't shut the **** up speaking about England. In English!
Stavanger here, with ironically a **** ton of Scottish people! I believe they come here for that black Scottish gold which apparently doesn't make a single Krone for the government . they're lovely in general, but man, they should learn some basic Norwegian words. How can ye live here for 6 months and not learn "plastic bag" or "receipt" Trenger du kvitteringen? "PARDON?" poor Norwegian "er er u need receipt?" Makes me cringe everytime .
Yeah, you've never mentioned Norway before. One of my cousins has just built a house over there for his little family. I think the place is called Farsund are something like that.
Yeah, I moved here 2 years ago now. I think I have mentioned it... but it's a lovely place to live, I don't see myself coming home anytime soon. And I can also remain a smug Brexiteer here as they're also not in the EU, AND don't like it either! so NAH NAH! I had a big argument in the politics thread about how people want a Norwegian style system in Scotland but have absolutely no idea what Norwegians put into their system to make it work... nor how lucky they are to have as much oil as they do... AND how intelligent Norway were when they first discovered their oil. Anyone who thinks Scotland can copy Norway is... well a ****ing moron. But i think you had signed off that thread by then
Probably My little cuz is just turning 30 and he's married a bird out there now, he'll never come back and I don't blame him. The Jocks keep saying they're going to be like Denmark and Norway because they're a similar size. That's it. That's their argument as to why Independence will be successful
Just this past two weeks I've started my first official relationship here... I will admit I have been playing up my unique Britishness here and was a bit of a **** boy... But if me and this girl start getting serious, I'll likely never come home. Life is relaxed here, people mind their own business, your job is second your bosses know that because they think the same. It's nice. But like I said, Norway is SO lucky with natural resources. The foresight required to set up the national investment fund when they discovered oil was a stroke of political mastery, did you know they use these saved oil funds to invest in foreign corporations? The Norwegian government can use the profits of these investments to continue investing, it is illegal to invest in Norwegian companies, this way the national fund is completely non-reliant on the success of the Norwegian economy. Even in a recession that fund continues to gain money and can be used to fund public services. It's worth around £1 Trillion now. Like I said, luck, combined with genius, means a fantastic nation.
" Welsh teams have so easily slipped into the English league system ". Check out the history of these " English leagues " , and you'll find that " Welsh teams " were, in fact, INVITED to join them.
slipped in can mean invited, asked, demanded, begged, whatever. makes no difference. they still entered with very little controversy. imagine swansea in the welsh league man.
What utter, utter nonsense.The Welsh teams were INVITED to join the leagues. But don't let your small minded racism get in the way.
Welsh people aren't a different race than the English ****in' hell man. I mean, if you want to rub your nationalistic cock and pretend Swansea sitting in the Championship is a massive benefit to the English football ladder be my guest, but I think some of us need to get off our high horse and stop pretending we actually do much. applies to scotland too
No " nationalistic cock " rubbing. The Welsh ARE different to the English. For starters they are the original inhabitants of what is now called England. Goodness knows which part of Europe the English hail from. If you choose to ignore that, " be MY guest.. Now, where exactly did I pretend anything about Swansea sitting in the Championship being a massive benefit to the English football ladder ? You really should refrain from making things up, else you won't be taken seriously.
you took me seriously? Are you flirting with me you saucy devil? Of course, we are simply a fantastic breed of folk, this is our majestic island and those Romans stole it from us. And these Anglo-Saxon bastards came from Northern Germany, very close to Denmark, they even spoke a Northern German language very similar to old Nordic and it had funny letters... But fear not, we persisted, in our mountains and our valleys, sharpening our spears and fletching our bows, waiting for the day we would reclaim our island home... re-spread our complicated yet still somehow cool language, write ARAF on every road, put a mother ****ing DRAGON on every single national symbol, make the national sport Rugby, **** CRICKET, and... force tourists into our castles charging obscene prices to wander a ruin. Alas my dear countryman, they were too many, we were too lazy, their gold was too golden, and now their pounds are too poundin', we are a poetic people, a people of bow and song... but we are also a nation of caravan parks and retired English tax payers... We sit here, in our pride, thinking of what could have been... a Celtic Britain, but it never came to pass and I too... weep. So yeah, **** Celtic man.
The sweaties can stay away thanks all the same. We know their league is **** and they desperately want to join the English system. We don’t want their brand of sectarian ****e down here thanks all the same, it goes beyond football and there’s no place for it. Until they ditch all of that bollocks, which will likely never happen, then they can **** clean off.
