Swedish names? The swedes I know have mostly English sounding names but sometimes spelled differently - like Erik, Jenni, Patrik. With the occasional Thor thrown in

Most Danish names are the same way.

Norwegian, Danish and Swedish are very closely related, so to someone who doesn't speak them they could sound alike.

They're all the same to us...

Lol...at work we don't talk about the individual countries by themselves. Our business there is referred to and managed as the "Nordics" region. The market head actually refers to herself as Nordic now and not Swedish.

But then again we also lump Australia and New Zealand together as one market, and I'm sure that's not appreciated either

Now that the winter games are back, I present the same vexing question that I wonder every four goddam years -

What in the world is a triple sow cow?

Seems like when yoghurt is a regular part of my diet (food intake) I end up having sexual relations with more people wonder why that is? Maybe it makes my complexion shine to where I am more attractive to others.

I don't get why the landing page for Styleforum even lists the most posts. Volume means nothing. Quality is everything.

Most companies do that, as for most firms it's a smaller market, I would never refer to myself as nordic though.



Jeg esker Trondheim


Yeah you are alone with that one.
