Yupp i know

If people want to know they can ask. I'm more than happy to translate.

Still disrespectful i think.

I did actually think to posting this though. I'll try to remember in future.

It might very well be. That wasn't the intention, but it's hard to know how you come across. Thanks for letting me know.

Wow. I can see a guy on a football field changing the tires on his car.. He's wearing a purple shirt..

i know. i have a friend who told me she was chilling on the veranda with her boyfriend and it looks like she's giving him a blowjob, luckily you can't see it's her unless you know who's living in that house  

Blue, i was a bit grumpy last night, i guess i could have said that in a nicer tone of voice. sorry  i just feel we shouldn't exclude those non-fjordian folk here  when i link to articles in norwegian i always write a summary or something of the like when putting it here so the link is more like a source and potential further reading, than actually saying "hey look at this"  also i link to the article because there are pictures and videos  so yeah, just keep that in mind i guess. It's a small gesture really (to not expect people to tell when they want it translated), a small gesture to make the forum welcoming and including  

norc out.

oh i didn't see that last question there

a tromsø-palm or Tromsøpalmen, is a garden plant that someone (curse you!!) brought north and it kinda thrived a bit too much up here. it is nearly impossible to get rid of.. it's a war. you gotta hack the roots and put salt on it and repeat and repeat and repeat etc.. and the palm is everywhere. it is also poisonous..  it has sort of become a symbol of the city  i'll see if i can find a video on the matter. i know someone made one. a good one. it's kinda hard because there is a film award named after it and a school show argh

huge disgusting plants that are everywhere!!

Great. Now those of us who have better things to do will waste our time poring through that photo in hopes of voyeuristic nirvana. Life is basically over.

I like how her friend got her excuse in first- always suspicious!

So given the Norwegian aversion to photos taken without permission, is there a big epic storm brewing?

Thanks Norc! That's kind of weird, I don't think I've heard of invasive species becoming so popular before.

They are pretty horrible, though I do like the taking pride in stuff that isn't necessarily so positive part.

I find it funny that everyone got caught up in the blowjob part, and not one person commented on them chilling on their porch when there's snow all around. I guess we've made you all see that as perfectly normal.

Oh, that's fine. Don't worry. We all say and do stuff we wish we could have done differently at times. I certainly do. And obviously you have a point. Thanks for explaining though.

I mean ... if you're not comfortable being outside in the snow, you probably wouldn't be living in Northern Norway.

Plus, Norc did say they were chilling.

A forgotten (?) treasure



No ser eg atter slike fjell og dalar
som dei eg i min fyrste ungdom såg.
Og same vind den heite panna svalar:
Og gullet ligg på snø som før det låg.
Det er eit barnemål som til meg talar
og gjer meg tankefull, men endå fjåg.
Med ungdomsminne er den tala blanda.
Det strøymer på meg så eg knapt kan anda.

Ja livet strøymer på meg, som det strøymde
når under snø eg såg det grøne strå.
Eg drøymer no, som før eg alltid drøymde
når slike fjell eg såg i lufti blå.
Eg gløymer dagsens strid, som før eg gløymde
når eg mot kveld av sol eit glimt fekk sjå.
Eg finner vel eit hus som vil meg hysa
når soli heim til natti vil meg lysa.

Alt er som før. Men det er meir forklåra,
så dagsens ljos meg synest meire bjart,
og det som beit og skar meg, så det såra,
det gjerer sjølve skuggen mindre svart.
Sjølv det som til å synda tidt meg dåra,
sjølv det gjer harde fjellet mindre hardt.
Forsona koma atter gamle tankar:
Det same hjarta er som eldre bankar.

Og kvar ein stein eg som ein kjenning finner:
for slik var den eg flaug ikring som gut.
Som var det kjempor, spør eg kven som vinner
av den og denne andre høge nut.
Alt minner meg. Det minner, og det minner
til soli bort i snøen sloknar ut.
Og inn i siste svevn meg eingong huggar
dei gamle minne og dei gamle skuggar.
