I think maybe you've been a victim of the closing time for sale. Most places in norway, they stop selling alcohol at 6 or 8 pm. But trust me when I say, 4.75 % is the standars in any grocery store.

Furthermore, Stavanger is a beautiful town, and has maybe the best night life in all of Norway, (no bullshit).

But prices can be stiff, bordering on ridicoulous, I agree. Especially alcohol. Oh, how I wish we were parto f the Europeean Union.

Anyway. It's a free for all tournament, and I'd be happy to meet as many of you as can find the time and money to tak the trip.

Hehe, you see, in norway, it is legal to be a prostitute, but it is illegal to buy. But then I think you should try to sample one of the truly lovely girls, Stavanger by night has to offer ;)

Not that I'm implying you would reqruit the services of a prostitute :)

I'd love to see you at the tourny ;)

Cheers

Well, at any rate, I'd like to remind people this is a Blood Bowl Tournament, and not an exotic wildlife (or exotic VD for that matter) thing :D

And also, yes, there are penguins, and even polar bears in Norway, but you would have to travel so far north into the country, that if you travelled the same distance south, you would end up in africa. :o

But I'll try to find a solution, that allows for beer at a pub for about 2.5 £
In fact, I'll even use my connections to try and get a favorable deal on hotel prices.

I'm such a nice guy :)

I thought Penguins were only in the Southern Hemisphere (if you don't count those in zoos)?

Actually, you are quite correct, all 17 of the different peguin species are located in the southern hemisphere. Penguin species are found on every continent in the Southern Hemisphere. They are abundant on many temperate and subantarctic islands. Different species thrive in varying climates, ranging from Galapagos penguins on tropical islands at the equator to emperor penguins restricted to the pack ice of Antarctica. According to Sparks and Soper.

We do have Seals though.

Another quite useless fact, if you were to shoot a seal with a 9mm, the thick blubber of fat the creature insulates itself with, would prevent the bullet from penetrating deeply enough to harm organs and such.

But the most exotic wildlife in norway, must be the busloads of russian women who come accross the border in the north, to sell their charms to old lechers. (This is secondhand information)

I was bitten by a Penguin once...

That was in South Africa...

BTW Norway doesn't even border to Russia, I thought, so I guess those women must have come through Finland first...

No, it does. WAYYYYYYYYYY up north where only a few people live among the herds of elk.

Norway sort of runs over the top of Sweden and Finland. Its very very long and very thin.

I knew it ran over the top of Sweden (I crossed into Norway from Finland once) and now you tell me I remember that I once knew that Norway even bordered Russia...

Another thing that I have forgotten; I'm getting old...

Now now... I know from personal experiense when I was in the Norwegian army that Norway does border to Russia... And there are as a matter o fact pretty girls even that far up north.

And I hope that many of you can come to the Tourny so that me and Roy can kick som arse... Its only fair that the Norwegians win on home ground :lol:

And as it was mentioned earlier, if and when you come here do make the most of it, u can ask either me or Roy to take you round town clubbin... Get a girl have a blast...

So for all you non Norwegians out there. I have only one sound advice to give to you................... Drink beer.
