Some things in Sweden are great and

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 [...]

Swedish Politics -The Centre Party

I can hear some of you moaning already
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.
There was no point [...]

PC versus Mac

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 have never known a machine to crash so often.  Two friends have already recommend I move across to the Mac.  I hadnt previously considered [...]

Happy Birthday sung in Swedish

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:

He is moving apartments at the moment so he came to me. [...]

Dream Ticket

You will notice that not every post is about Sweden thesedays. Now I am living here full time (more on that later) there will be the occasional post on other matters.
This is what I think the world needs

Diamonds are Forever

I am not getting too far with my plan of watching Bond with Swedish subtitles as ‘homework.’
I watched Dr No which I really enjoyed, primarily because its the first one. Its interesting the way he is referred to as a ‘detective’ than a secret agent.
Last night I watched Diamonds are Forever. I picked it out [...]

Heaven Knows I am Miserable Now

Its with a lot of sadness that I read Morrissey is finally going to do a gig in Israel. I hope he now follows up on his desire to play in Iran to balance things out. I cant quite see the Iranian Authorities allowing Moz in though.
Then again Moz might suprise a few people in [...]

Forget California Girls…

According to this report from Travellers Digest Stockholm is home to the worlds most beautiful women!!
Following it in runners up spot is Copenhagen, Denmark.
I love this quote:
‘Stockholm is a city filled with the best looking women in the world, women so good looking that when you walk in to a 7-11 you will swear that [...]
