    I forgot to thank you and your country for giving me nightmares as a child: The Moomins. <yikes>

    Yes, but the bloke who created them was part Swedish, so I'm apportioning some of the blame to you.

    The tune is kinda catchy though ;)

    Haha, random question btw.

    How do you guys prounounce "Febbos"?

    Is it more like "Feebus", or "Feebass", or "Fébb us", or finally "Fébb os"

    Haha. The Swedish pronounciation would probably be the last one, the "space" between is just to define how you pronounce it, :emoticon-0111-blush

    A lass in my A-Level English Literature group was a bit of a munter, fat with a square head. She used to wear a Moomins T-Shirt EVERY DAY. It helped me remember what irony is though.

    PS. Have you no moral decency?

    Fair boes is the correct Hull pronunciation of Febbos! I'm reading the Girl with The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsen at the moment, is Hedeby near you then Febbos or is that a made-up place?
