This is a bit Donald Duck’d

Remember the Popeye posting, sorry Karl Alfred? Well here is another one….
Look at this one:

Donald Duck is Kalle Anka!
We have moved to our new offices today in Östermalm so sorry for the short posts. Been busy with that. I will be taking it easy this weekend, Hammarby are playing a friendly tomorrow so I may [...]

I am not a number I am a free man

 
I finally got my residents permit through this week. Being a EU citizen in employment it was always a given but you can never tell when it comes to government.
This mean I could now apply for the personnummer. Without this number you are nothing in Sweden. Its used for everything from Tax to loaning library [...]

Felix -As Good As it looks?

I am quite partial to Goulash but winced when I saw this in IKA yesterday..

I mean Felix is cat food right?

I passed on it and decided I would make my own, the mind is a funny place!
Todays Swedish Word of the Day is kattmåt – catfood.

The Swedish Way

I forgot to post this link last week.
I was doing some online research into the subject of Swedish management styles and I found a lot of interesting articles written at around the time of Sven Goran Eriksson taking the England job.
The Swedish Way  looks at our impressions of them and theirs of us..this quote from the Daily Mail made me [...]

Its Sportslov in Sweden

Wow I cant believe it -this blog has had over 2,200 unique visits since I started it in January. I am truly shocked.  When I started I thought friends would view the odd post but not to this level. I am also being picked up on the search engines for different search terms relating to [...]

The Not So Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye.

In a weeks time we move out of our serviced offices into our new offices in Ostermalm. We can then start to make it a proper office, I have just about had enough of the windowless office I am currently sat in. Even prison cells have windows.
The one thing I will really miss is the [...]

The big decision has been made…

 
I shall support Hammarby.
In an ideal world I would have gone to all 3 Stockholm clubs, seen a game and then decided who to support.
I have picked Hammarby for the following reasons:
1) I live in Södermalm and its rude not to support Hammarby, for me to support AIK there would be like supporting Liverpool but [...]

When is a Swede not a swede?

 
When its a kålrot!
I had to laugh the other day when a Swedish colleague realised for the first time that her nationality is in fact a vegetable in English.
Imagine you find out that your nationality is someone else’s turnip! Funny!
Not much has happened today but I would like to draw your attention to my German [...]

Now into my second month in Sverige

I cant believe how quick the time has flown, over a month since I landed in Sodermalm. A friend asked me the following questions I think I should answer these every month or so and see if and how they change…
So what do you miss the most from England/Wales?
Well in truth not a lot if [...]

A wierd weekend

This was a very bizarre weekend.
Everything was running smoothly until I sat on the plane at Oslo. We were due out at 4.3o but at 5.30 we were still sat there and the Captain announced that there was a technical fault and this plane was not fit to fly.
Of course I would rather be safe [...]
