The world is griped by war, famine, disease etc yet meanwhile in Sweden.

Still, i hope the moose will be ok. They make delicious burgers. Twisted

Best bit about this is the location. Did they forget to fact check that Helsinki is in Finland? Roll

For the record, this is how Finnish people react to mentioning of Sweden or being confused with being from Sweden.

Hehe!

After going to a number of events in Finland.

I found that due to the Swedish Minority that most official meetings use both languages.

This surfaced when the host at one of the events gave an introductory speech in Finnish, English, German & Dutch finishing of with just a couple of words in Swedish

The Finns all laughed and Bjoern from Sweden sitting next me to was not looking happy.

So I asked what did he just say.

Bjoern answered our host said 'Same again' in Swedish.

Both the Finns and the Swedes are quite competitive over their identities Big smile

Reading fail. Here it is again:

"Except for the moose, no one was injured during the incident at the high school in Molndal, near the western city of Goteborg."

Also, I think reporters are too quick to claim nobody was injured. There's always that one kid that picked up a piece of glass and got sent to the nurse. It doesn't have to be a casualty to be an injury. They should say "no casualties". That's the important part, right?

The report is from Helsinki, but the incident was in Molndal, near Goteborg. Roll

Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

I meant the opening line location. Theyre using a different standard to the UK which lists place first. You wouldnt write London when talking about the USA.

So a british paper would have started Goteborg rather than the press office location. Thats why it allows me to make the SATW joke. P
