Driving a truck in Norway and trusting your GPS is not necessarily the brightest idea. Thanks to resourceful locals, a bottle jack or two and some leverhoists and rope all ended well.

GPS told him to hug the inside of a turn?
you still have to find a crew willing to fly this "barely airworthy" heap
no such thing as "barely airworthy" it's either Airworthy or Not
100% incorrect Ever hear of Ferry Permit? issued for Non airworthy aircraft

Norway's soccer youth, whatever that is.....soccer I mean, eliminated England from the European Championship in such a superior manner that some of the Norskie fans were bored, so bored actually that:

Not unusual. Don't most Norwegian women knit during sex, also?

Only when in the doggy position due to H & S reasons, one would not like ones eyes poked out. Many a smelly wooly sweater made that way.

Q: Why do Norwegians like to have sex doogy-style?
A: So they can both watch the Nordic skiing finals on TV.

Sorry to disappoint, no TV in any bedroom, we're not Americans and we take both skiing and sleeping seriously.

Is moose commonly consumed (other than road-kill)... e.g is it farmed for the dinner table and sold in supermarkets?

It seems that the Soviet Union started in that direction, but without reaching commercial sustainability on the project. In Sweden, probably no farms exist, and I like this excerpt from Wikipedia on the subject:
In Sweden, there was a debate in the late 18th century about the national value of using the moose as a domestic animal. Among other things, the moose was proposed to be used in postal distribution, and there was a suggestion to develop a moose-mounted cavalry. Such proposals remained unimplemented, mainly because the extensive hunting for moose nearly drove it to extinction[100] and because of moose aggressiveness during the rutting period.
There are moose parks where you can see the animals, mainly as a tourist attraction, probably also to make it easier to hunt the moose, however, farming as such, for the supermarkets, is not a big business.

But you can buy moose quite easily, and that will be the wild moose, brought in by hunters.

Not in Norway, hunting only and very popular too. Plenty around here.

This is how Norwegian fish treat foreigners, in this case Lithuanians. Good food, good riddance.
