If not they have exactly the same kind of benches there. I've been laughing at them for years Edit: no it isn't The Swan. I can see it's over the A38. Never mind!

Very cool! I’ll leave regional rivalries aside and admit Bergen is a beautiful city. If you can make it work, I’d strongly consider it if I were you. Norway is a very good country to live and work in, not to mention raising children in. Let me know if you have any questions, buddy. My picture was taken on the way up from Arnafjord to the Stølsheimen landscape. Spent the day hiking with my GF yesterday and spending the whole week visiting her family in Sogn. It’s literally all mountains, fjords and waterfalls. Bergen is in the same county as this, Vestland county (West coast.) I grew up and still live in the Oslo area, and I’ll forever say Oslo is the best damn city in the world, but if you move to Bergen, I’m sure you’ll love it.

I find it quite funny that it's not even a footnote as we have so much other history. And it's the only date they say that way. The day before is July 3rd the day after is July 5th. It's the only day of the year they say in the English way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently saw a riddle online: "How far do you have to count before you reach a number with the letter 'a' in it?". Posed by an American who gave the answer as 'one thousAnd'. I said it was 'one hundred And one', and was greeted with incredulity. 'Nobody', apparently, says that. 'One Hundred One Dalmatians', anybody?

If the hypnotist in the Simpsons episode “Homer at the Bat” is anything to go by, if Americans DO drop the “and”, they’re not consistent with it. (This was the first example I could think of or find with an American film/tv saying a number “one hundred and something”…I’ve been looking around trying to find Paul Newman getting all excited about his building’s height in The Towering Inferno, but no luck there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
