Hi! New member here. Just wanted to see if there are any interesting questions about Sweden. I'll answer them all as best as I possibly can.
Looking a the questions here, why do people keep confusing you with Norwegians?
How long is your summer? (Summer is defined as temperatures during the day at 80 or above)
Also, how do you heat your homes? Do you use nuclear or geothermal?
Welcome to FR
Yes.
What’s up with the “U”? Is that a part of the question?
LOL!
I think it was in 1963. We held a referendum in 1955 voting against it, but the politicians decided to do it anyway.
Dat vun Norvegian, ja, vas chasing dem vith a VAT of lutefisk!!!
If you’re smart, ja, you’ll vun, too!!!
CA....
There will be NO zot! He’s a fellow Swede!
CA....
No, that’s how you speak Italian.
My father’s parents came from Sweden. My father was born in Boston. I used to write to my cousin, a girl, Britt-Marie. I lost touch with her and now I really regret it. I have absolutely no family on my mother’s side. Never lose your cousin’s mailing address. Welcome to FR.
They also have the Sedins, and a bunch of great D men.
Russians have the individual scoring stars, not quite as great D, but stellar goaltending.
Canada is as good as it gets but the (Sharks) top line has been flat lately. If the Swedes hang in its theirs to lose.
My picks: SWE - gold
RUS - slver
CDN - bronze
Welcome to FR!!!
What I’d like to know is........what is the current perception in Sweden of Obama??
I wish we did. I guess IKEA does export a lot of them though. I think I read somewhere that it’s the largest food related export industry in Sweden.
Well, he is a really eloquent speaker so he’d definitely have my vote. Though I guess that doesn’t help him much.
No, we do that just for the fun of it.
I’m of Swedish descent, do you have a sister who would like to marry and move to the USA? Or better yet, would she like to marry and have me move to .........wait a minute, I’m not Swedish, I’m Swiss. Sorry.....
LSA
Yes.
Some. however, would argue it's soaked in something stronger....Strontium 90, perhaps...
Lutefisk, BTW, is of Norwegian origin. It first appeared around the time of the demise of the Swedish empire, and I don't think that was a coincidence!
CA....
Was Stieg Larsson murdered?
