We Irish can join in here and generally get on with you Scots and Welsh well for the same reasons... Though we won't need to steal any of your words - we've plenty of terms of our own for the English

Weeeeeeeell, I remember an episode that happened a couple of years ago where I met two really drunk men on a late saturday evening. We started talking and I understood that they weren't from Norway, so I asked them where they come from, and they replied "where do you think?". Then I said Ireland, which turned out to be a mistake since I later realized they were scottish. One of the men got very upset and suddenly had a red face, bulging eyes and clenched fists, and he mumbled something in a broad accent while the other guy tried to calm him down by saying that I didn't understand and that it all was a simple mistake.
He succeded with calming the other guy, but I was pretty sure I would get a serious beating for a while :lol:

So I belive that although the Irish, Scots & Welsh have in common that they hate the English, they do hate each other just a tiny bit as well Am I right or what?

Eye but you softy Norwegiks dinnae wer a kilt dae ye, try dain rat an see whit happens tae yer dangly bits in winter... :eek:

Please tell me Franko, is it really true that kilt users have no underwear on?

But let me tell you what a real WINTER is: When I was in the army I was stationed in the northern part of Norway, where we sometimes had to sleep in a tent when there was -20° Celsius (and sometimes even colder) outside. Try to imagine going outside and pulling down the pants in order to do some "private business" in this cold. Oooooh! My dangly bits, I was almost afraid of losing them each time :lol:

I have never been so quick in doing what I had to do as I was back then.

I can only say that the funeral I was at on Monday, there were a few kilt wearers in attendance and as it was such a windy day some of the sights were not very pleasant to behold when the wind blew...

I closed my eyes and tried to imagine this scenario for a moment........ oh the horror!!!

@ PanterHZ & Franko

pfffft -20 you say...we Canadians play shinny hockey outside on ponds in our t-shirts when it's that warm outside:afro:

Well, I realize that it can be just a bit cold in Canada as well
But take a look here what can happen with some hot water and -30 here in Norway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSSZC7KR00o&feature=related

I think you confused the seasons. I've experienced  -30 for several weeks straight near Oslo. That was starting to feel a  bit nippy. When it was -20 I used to sleep with my window open.

Yes but now you are talking about the lowest peaks, when I said -20 I meant the average temperature that was up in the north.
It must be said that every year it's the same, it snows in Oslo which in turn leads to complete chaos in the traffic, it's like you people suddenly realize too late that it's winter now, and maybe it will snow as well. Funny to watch every time :roflmao:
Personally I live on the west coast of Norway, and it rarely goes below -20 here. If it did, we will simply freeze to death.

Well, there's probably a grain of truth in there alright  You will find a good number are just fiercely proud of their country  and that's the end of it... And mix that with the types who go out to  get totally drunk and look for a fight, and you have the guys you met  there. If you'd bought him a drink you'd probably be best friends with  him in the end

Yes I realize that the word "hate" in this context should be taken with a pinch of salt, and I may add that what you mention here is the same between us norwegians and swedes as well
BTW. I did meet the same guys later that evening, and they were both in a good mood then.
