"Why do you have to go and make things so complicated" as someone sang...

Over mij

Tag
Happiness is not a given set of circumstances but a given set of attitudes.
Me, Myself, and I
Imagine that Sweden is an island. Imagine that Scotland is one too. Imagine an arched wooden bridge connecting the two. Imagine a figure standing on that bridge, looking both ways, not sure which way to go. That's me. I've set camp there.

Though for now I'll take a step over to the Swedish island... But don't you worry, there's a bridge there for a reason! And I'll be using it - A LOT.

But don't be surprised if I change island eventually... ehrm.
Music
At the moment it's "Summer walkers" by Runrig - for obvious reasons. "O'er the hills and far away" from Sharpe - for similar reasons. And "I'm yours" by The Script - for other reasons.
Films
Priest (highly under-rated!), Hamlet, Irreversible, When Saturday comes (the team is shite tho), Phantom of the Opera (go for the phantom, go for the phantom!) and Monthy Pyton and the Holy Grail. Oh, and Sharpe.
Sports
Football, ice-hockey, handball, sport in general and hill-walking (must be mentioned tho not a sport per se). Ok, among-the-hills-walking now then...
Scared Of
Falling off an exposed scramble or slipping on a muddy descent and dislocating my knee. Again.
Happiest When
Sitting on a sunny and quiet summit enjoying the views - that's what life's all about
If money was not an issue...
... I would spend my life writing stories and roaming the hills.
When I was little I wanted to become...
a knight. My parents kept telling me they don't exist anylonger, but I knew they did. In England. I'd seen them on TV. Someday I might go south of the border and search for them...

  • It DOES matter where the food comes from...

    Me to a waiter in Frankfurt: "Eine tasse Schwarzen Tee, bitte."
    I check the menu and notice that there's a special price for tea & cake, but that I need to ask for the options available.
    Me: "Welche Küchen haben Sie?"
    The waiter gives me an incredilous look...

    Kuchen = Cake
    Küchen = Kitchen...

  • No problem!

    A coffee shop at Dublin airport. Behind the counter is a young man, sporting the widest grin since Brendan Fraser. He greets me and it's apparent that his English is under development... it rather sounds like he's speaking from a script.

    Me:A black earl grey, please.
    Grinning man:No problem!
    Wipes off grin, turns around, fiddles for a bit, comes back., puts on huge grin.
    Grinning man:No problem! Earl grey is out.
    Continues to grin.

    I bit back the obvious "and when is he expected back". I also realised that since he wasn't offering a solution to the problem we didn't have (...) it was up to me to order something else. So I eventually took my 'regular' tea and apple cake and took a seat. No problem.
