Sweden visit

[Walsingham]

Sorry it's taken so long to sit down and write up the review of my recent trip.

 

- We visited Goteborg in Sweden.

- Goteborg is a relatively compact city, witha lot of historical shenanigans. It used to be heavily fortified. But Most of the old fortifications have been removed to make way for a lot of tasteful architecture.

 

- I can confirm that Sweden has a ridiculously high concentration of attractive blondes.

 

- I can also confirm that I totally failed to score with any

 

- Or any brunettes

 

- We didn't visit either Sticky Fingers or Nefertiti. Which would probably explain some of the failure.

 

- Most bars we visited had a decent array of ales. this was good to see. however, at

Sounds like it was a good time. Also, you broke the intarweb.

Pretty sure DHTML doesn't work on the forums.

 

And I can't believe you didn't score.

[Pidesco]

Well, a Brit would think that about Swedish women, mostly because the concentration of hideous people in the UK is very impressive.

 

The fish place is commonly known as the Church O' Fish. Or Fiske Kyrkan. Or Feskek

[Gorgon]

Nah, decent beer has started to appear everywhere as part of the eco craze, except maybe concert venues where one brewery pays to be the sole supplier.

...and that

[Walsingham]

Part of the problem was that this was the first time in my entire life I've had a holiday just for the sake of a holiday. No plans, no meetings, not even any travelling, really. It was unbelivably relaxing. The first 48 hours, I spent 28 of them asleep. 18 hours in one stretch!

 

I caught a lot of sunshine, though.

So how was the redhead twins then?

You also noticed this?

 

We Australians have a little thing called 'sunlight'. The British should try it one day.

Wouldn't that only make the ugly British people easier to see?

[Trenitay]

What's sunlight?

I concede your point.

I don't think I even saw any redheads. Do you not have them? And now I think about it, what is the term for women with black hair? Ravens? Coal scuttles?

Immigrants.

That reminds me, apparently a lot of women from teh North East of Thailand have settled in Sweden. I can't imagine a worse culture shock. Thailand, land of spicy exotica, noise, and bad civic planning... and then you come to Sweden. It's a testament to how hardy they are 'up north'.

[Gorgon]

It's a testament to Swedish men not getting out all that much and marrying the first girls who.. well.

[Walsingham]

There's nothing wrong with Thai women. Many are gorgeous. Sort of the opposite of Sweden in being short and dark. The main problem I had with Thai women was that they have the most furious and irrational tempers. Or at least I thought that was my problem. I've subsequently realised that ALL women are like that. With me. I wouldn't blame any Swedish man for marrying one, provided he got on with her family, as they are very family-oriented, and you WILL be seeing a lot of them.

 

I'm rambling again.

 

Sweden good. Gothenborg good.

[Gorgon]

There's nothing wrong with Thai women

 

But of course not.

I'm guessing you've never met one.

[Humodour]

South-East Asian women in general can be pretty gorgeous.

 

Actually, to generalise to the point of triviality: women in general can be pretty gorgeous.

He's right you know. In general women are quite gorgeous.

 

I have to say though that blondes just don't make me wig out the same way brunettes do. There was one brunette I saw I'd have cheerfully moved to Sweden for...

 

ahem.

 

Other tourist attractions included the destroyer Smalund. A curious ship, and rather unlucky in being out at about the time when big guns were totally losing favour. She'd probably be happy joyed in the current climate of shore bombardment. Quite rusty all around.

[Humodour]

I fall head-first for broads with auburn hair every time. It's that perfect mix of red and brown.

Wait a minute, are you saying that there is something wrong with Thai women now.

[Kaftan Barlast]

There is nothing wrong with women from southeast asia. What is wrong, is when you order one on the internet.
