I'm not so sure it is islamist extremists. The dressed-up policeman sounds more like right wing extremists to me. Gut feeling only though. Looks like your gut feeling was spot on. It´s hard to say but I am a bit relieved if that is the case. I can only imagine, what (the various Scandinavian versions of) FrP would have said otherwise. I´m still truly in shock about this. Just too big, too sick and too close to home. 91+ dead, mostly kids.

Wasn't there a suicide bomb in Sweden last year? Ups, I have missed that one. Did it do same kind of damage as this attack?

Damned. This is sick. My thoughts go to the poor victims. I always thought DK would take the first Scandinavian bomb because of our wars, cartoons, NATO-boss etc.

He was a great player and United will hopefully struggle to replace him. Never any stupid stories around him either. I wouldn´t call him the complete midfielder though. Bad at tackling (10+ red cards) and as 1-legged as most leftfooted players mean he had something to work on. His right was pure quality to be fair.

I'd say we are the strongest nations in the world. When it comes to a World Cup or Euros, I don't really see anyone out of that group winning the tournie (I know Greece won in 2004 but I doubt it would happen again) That is because it includes the top 6. I can´t see Portugal winning it and I very much doubt England can too. If we are only talking present time, it would make more sense to talk about top 1. Spain.

Never heard of Top 9. Maybe top 6. England and Portugal seem out of place if that is only about internationals and not clubs. I agree, if at all possible, the manager should be same nationality.

Poor girl. We need to install shotguns, instead of airbags, ready to blow the head of the driver on impact. Would do wonders for traffic safety and I think you would need to be pretty f***ing drunk to forget about it.

I will certainly keep an eye on Ajax. They got 3 of Denmarks biggest talents from next year. Christian Eriksen is more and more looking like a starplayer for them. Nikolai Boilesen is also getting playtime in their defense. Both of these are 19. 16 year old Victor Fischer will join them in the summer. More or less same position as Eriksen and considered as big a talent.

Go Blackhawks! NHL is finally getting some coverage in Danish media because of the improvement of Danish players. 4 years ago the first ever Dane had his debut in NHL. Now we have 6 and close to 300 NHL points.

Great news. Welcome DB. He could be just what the doc ordered.

At least you are getting good use out of it. I use a bicycle for transport were possible although I'm always weary of thieves. That is the reason for using the old rack. Always a better target to be found, though that is also because of the large number of bikes here.

Love my cycle though it is an old reck. Only used as transport but I use it every day. Cheap, keeps me ok fit and I hate being stuck in traffic.

The rules and complexity is a big part of the problem, even if you don´t believe it is a deliberate scam, imo. Wouldn´t it be very easy for a layman, to look at stuff like Fractional-reserve banking as just that: Magic money, that makes his money worth less? They can´t give an explanation he will understand, neither will he understand why he isn´t allowed, to do the same thing. Make the rules clear or change them.

Alcohol and caffeine are both drugs. Far more lethal than the spliff

I am not sure about all, but the cannabis market is a giant, even if you combine all those other illegal drugs. Besides, doesn´t most tests show that the demand drops the more legalized a drug is? at least after the initial partytime. Alcohol is legal. Low demand? Don't think so. Advertising should not be allowed. Ban the alcohol advertising and watch the demand drop.

They probably wouldn't have been allowed to as it would have been seen to be discrimative. It's a bit like saying I like a good punch up after a few pints so if you don't like it go somewhere else. They have dresscodes though? AFAIK, a dresscode never gave anybody 2nd hand lung or throat cancer. Think you deliberately misunderstood where I was going with the dresscode comparison, but thanks for the murderer comment. Could you back it up, with anything but junkscience? They havn´t really seen any decreases in diseases suspected to be caused by 2nd-hand smoke. Ah yeah silly me. That is because all the smokers are now smoking more at home, slaughtering their neighbours.

You should really study its medicinal value before you start hating.

Nice. I thought they all liked pushers in the schoolyards.

Trade. Quite simply, a blanket ban was the most sensible and most easily workable approach. People aren't stopped from smoking Sir. Just inflicting it on other (non-willing passive smokers) pub or bar patrons. Hmm doesn´t sound like it was ever a big problem then? If hardly any non-smokers would pick health above money.

What stopped non-smokers from making a non-smoker bar before the ban?

Excellent stuff from the health preachers. Alcohol and tobacco. Two birds, one stone. Fat drivers next? Or maybe our constantly exceeding EMF pollution. Though the industry tells us, that it is 100% safe and hell, could be healthy. Déjà vu.

Yeah sorry, the guy who stole your gold

The "funny" thing is, that when those Icelandic bankers were hounded of the island with pitchforks in their arses, where did some of them run? Good old London...And you didn´t care...You were busy placing Iceland on the terrorlist.
