By the way "det är som det är" means "that's just the way it is". Not a very common expression allover Sweden, but it might be in some places of course. She lives up north, I live in the south of Sweden(Gothenburg).

Big, big, news!
My mum went to school with Sirley Bassey in Splott Cardiff.
Claim to fame (1 degree of seperation).
They got nothing on our chili...
Her picture.
Darn, not a blond on this thread.
Doesn't this belong in "Breaking News"?
Older persons in Sweden fail to understand how anyone could eat chili, while the younger generations just love it.
- Me want habanero!
Could be arranged, couldn't it?
Personally, I feel somewhat lazy at the moment, but I know there's a lot of freepers around who always manage to post pics of beautiful scandinavian women in every Sweden/Scandinavia thread.
That's fine with me. Our women ARE gorgeous!
Go for it!
I think it should be placed on top of every category of FR - it is THAT important.
It is a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
I was hoping this could become a thread consisting in a collection of beautiful blond women pics.
My (lame) exuse for not having added any such image yet is the fact that I've just enjoyed my lunch and feel too lazy.
Perhaps I'll do something about it later.

I have a picture (somewhere) of the Women's Brazillian Vollyball team in the shower but I would get banned if I posted it.;-)
Thanks a lot razorback-bert!!
I feel like I owe you a pizza or something! ;-)
Congratulate yourself on a job well done.
It took me about 10 seconds to find that picture online. WOW!
Where exactly? I will be in the Göteborg area next week. I'll be in Göteborg itself on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then south of there, at Helsjöns folkhögskola, for a conference, Thursday-Sunday. (I don't know if I'll have time or opportunity to meet any Swedish FReepers while I'm over there, since I'll be with hosts, but maybe, and I'm curious anyway.)
WesternCulture, you definitely need to be the 64th person on our Swedish Ping List! We use it to notify each other whenever there's a Sweden-related thread of interest (like this one) here on FR.
Ping to the Swedish Ping List.
