Two players die at world chess event in Norway
Only in Norway.
Yup, akevitt all around this weekend with friends at the cabin while we bask in the fact that:It seems that Per is at least a theoretical (and maybe a genuine) Kroner millionaire.

Akevitt all round?
Maybe I should sell them some stocks in my company?The (Our) fund, worth about $800bn (£483bn), owns 1% of the entire world's stocks.
Cheaper to ship them to the Netherlands.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29123468......
The Netherlands eh?
We used to send them to Australia.......
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6305579 ... Apec-talksA chance meeting between Prime Minister John Key and his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott at Darwin has sparked a "race to Beijing" between the two leaders' planes.
Key's airforce transport was refuelling at Darwin yesterday en route to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting, which starts in China today, when Abbott's plane landed alongside it.
Dressed in a short sleeved shirt and jeans Abbott strolled across the Tarmac and joined Key in the terminal for a short impromptu meeting.
Then after posing for photos the two toured each other's planes to compare notes.
The conclusion from the New Zealand side was that Abbott's 737, which took off first after a handshake between the leaders on the tarmac, was smaller, slower and less comfortable than Key's airforce 757.
That launched the inevitable informal Anzac test and banter between the flight decks that ended in the Kiwis hauling in Abbott's 15 minute head start about three quarters of the way along the eight hour flight to Beijing.
But not before some tactical flying by the Australians who stationed themselves 4000 feet higher on the same flight path and blocked the Kiwis from gaining height, making them burn more fuel and preventing them overtaking sooner.
The bolt to Beijing was eventually won by the NZ plane by about 20 minutes.
The serious business of Key's at Apec starts today.
Happiness is all, but money helps. Good to see you.Prosperity is overrated.
Good on him, but this has forced me to boycott all Viking media for the time being.Norway has produced quite possibly the greatest footballer in the history of the sport. At the young age of 16, he has signed with Real Madrid.

"Norway is hit by a serious, serious Odegaard-fever," Norwegian News Agency's Espen Hartvig told CNN.
Had to Google Freddy, but no, our "man" will never become black.If he tries hard enough, maybe he'll become the white Freddy Adu.
I can eat skrei, or cod three, four times a week. The fish itself, the head, cod roe, liver or best of all the tongue. I've had fish served all over Europe, the Americas including the Caribbean, Asia, Australia and Africa, but nothing beats fresh cod prepared with as little fuss as possible.Per,
Please may I have your commentary on this

Thanks!
I fixed your typo.There is so much excrement of this nature in Norway!
Yeah I know, we are flooded with it. German and Swedish sport fishers, American, Japanese and Chinese Midnight Sun, Whale and Aurora Borealis watchers, but what can we do? We're nice guys and prepared to share our splendor, at a price. Our price, in NOK, if you please.I fixed your typo.There is so much excrement of this nature in Norway!
