Rizlard, I will attempt to answer that. It's like with the gun laws; it's not about what is written on a piece of paper that you and me and all other law abiding ones would follow. It's illegal crossings. Those are not more affected by stricter immigration laws than the averge criminal searching for a gun to use for a robbery: he buy it illegal.
Illegal as in "no law, rule or paper is followed". So when the law is crancked up even Biden deeeeep inside knows it has no effect.
So if it was a vip guy or a vip girl they bury them in a real viking ship.
In our museum here we have two: Gogstad and Oseberg.
From wiki: The Oseberg ship is a well-preserved Viking ship discovered in a large burial mound at the Oseberg farm near Tønsberg in Vestfold county, Norway. This ship is commonly acknowledged to be among the finer artifacts to have survived from the Viking Era.
Supposed to be the grave of a high ranking woman. "... chamber dates the burial to the autumn of 834. it has been suggested that she is Queen Åsa, mother of Halfdan the Black and grandmother of Harald Fairhair. ... There were also the skeletal remains of 14 horses, an ox, and three dogs found on the ship. "
I read mostly the stuff written by Snorre Sturlasson around 1280. I'm a saga guy, but if I present stories about Njål, Skarphedin, Gunnar and king Olav Trygvasson 995-1000 then you can tell me about King Richard Lionheart and the knights and Kings of Europe.
No I didn't actually until someone recently posted about Bohemond who also was in Constantinopel it seems. I thought you were of norwegian decent and your name could be Hemund/Hamund was my initial guess :)
I am also interested in the viking era, very much so! Read those iclandic sagas Bo? That is a fun topic we can get more back to here at blogs!
I know Bo. King Sigurd of Norway went all the way through Gibraltar to Jerusalem while his brother stayed home to rule Norway from Trondheim.
"In 1107, Sigurd led the Norwegian Crusade to support the newly established Kingdom of Jerusalem which had been founded after the First Crusade. He was the first European king to lead a crusade, and his feats earned him the nickname Jorsalafari. Sigurd possessed a total force of about 5000 men in about 60 ships, as recorded by the sagas. Upon arriving in the Holy Land he was greeted by King Baldwin I of Jerusalem. "
Return to Norway Before leaving Constantinople, Sigurd gave all of his ships and many treasures away to Emperor Alexios. In return the emperor gave him many strong horses, for him and his fellow kinsmen. Sigurd planned to return to Norway over land, but many of his men stayed behind in Constantinople, to take up service for the emperor as part of his Varangian Guard. The trip took three years and he visited many countries en route
@Tiger ,gdluk get a large enough garage for your bf to do some motorcycle restauration or model airplane balsa etc hehe, let us see what you found later on
@Bohemond, are you sure you are not still in the 10th century? ON TOPIC: I agree do not jab the youngsters. Is my view. My friend Philip and his doctor wife decides to not jab their 3kids rather have covid is the attitude there (regarding their kids).
I was gonna say the fly whacker but you did before me... so what else, oh I have one age old dinosurus of a computer I soon will get sat up that I can play good old panzergeneral 1 and 2 on it again :)
What I'm trying to get across is: since it takes two to tango it does not help if you do 80% of the dance if he is only putting in his 20. And with your intelligence you know how to test him of a 40-45% input, sure you can be a bit more eager than him, but... this might be tooo far off a marriage situation. Check him really please, and when the results are in believe them!
If 850.000 had serious side effects in the EU, what qualify as serious here? Did that mean they had to have a few days off work, or more like permanently ill.
I would ask him straight out "how often do you wanna meet per month?" And if his reply sounds satisfactory to your ideas then you start it up and if he disappoint again, you cut him out forever.
For the record I had in mind the face/stright-face dropped by Stelter, nothing to do with covid masks. My bad, I translated from norwegian "miste maska" that means letting go of your straight face. What is that called in engleto anyway? Face cracking up ..eh?
Yes, good blog. R.E.M had the 'it's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine - line meaning an unknown do not at all have to be a problem, rather an opportunity. The known problems are more than enough for me also, so any unknown: bring it on! Can't beat the real thing lol.
Death is the worst one (refuse to call that an unknown) but a little glimmer of hope is even there. If you meet Jesus on the other side bow to him, don't raise your fist into his face... He made you.
@Tiger, everyday above ground is a good day as said in scarface
To the ones who think the masses taking the jab are scared in to it by media: no we're not. Covid19 kills and even more get permanently ill with socalled long covid; a state of lowered quality of living. So no, we calculated for and against based on the info we've got and chose to take the risk of a unproven vax. Along the lines of Donald Trumps "right to try" ideas.
