some things stink and this stinks!
MCB sent me this link earlier today and quite frankly I am lost for words. I wonder what the Swedish politicians will say on this? Hopefully they will jump on this school harshly because this is incredible!
How any teacher can confiscate a little boys party invites is beyond me. I [...]

Although my Swedish isnt good enough to listen to political debate I try and keep abreast of what the Swedish Political Parties are saying.
I was looking at their websites last nights to see who, if I had the vote I would go for.

I have to say I am getting really cheesed off with Windows Vista. Nothing but bloody problems. I bought a new laptop last year from Acer and its been appalling.

I was left a very nice voicemail this morning as Ms W and her friends called me singing Happy Birthday in Swedish. Very nice. Its different from the English but Happy Birthday in Swedish translates to:

Yes, may you (he, she, they) [...]

I finally got round to sorting out some bass lessons in Stockholm.
I trawled a few forums and asked about and when I saw this guys page I knew I had to drop him a line. He can play from Iron Maide to classical stuff.

I am not getting too far with my plan of watching Bond with Swedish subtitles as ‘homework.’
