    I think we need to see some photos of you in your bunad to judge for ourselves. Maybe coke zero doesn't work as part of a calorie controlled diet after all? Or maybe you eat to much smalhove?

    You've got it all wrong! I'm as slim as I was at twenty - it's just the clothes that shrink in the wardrobe :v

    I absolutely deny any allegations that I am in denial!

    Yes, I do, just about, towards the end of her...reign.

    Lucky you...you should have been around for all of it...it would've opened your eyes...and made you question your gods existence :))

    I'm actually not a Thatcherite anyhow. More of a One Nation Tory, were it not for the fact that I'm an Ulster Unionist!

    I think the dry cleaners might have shrunk the suit a bit, though. :))

    The allegations sound fishy...

    Wow, if the owner really was a patriot shouldn't that car be something American?
    Here's a car I followed today

    I don't think he'll get convicted - he's a slippery eel.

    My tribe has an expression: "en glad laks", meaning 'a happy salmon'. We use it about someone who has a happy moment or has a sunny personality. Is there a fish-related expression like that in English?
  • ChriscoopChriscoop Belize Posts: 10,449MI6 Agent
    We have a few,
    Like a fish out of water
    A different kettle of fish
    Holy mackerel
    Happy as a clam
    Trout pout

    I'm sure there are more I've forgotten and more I don't know.

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,699MI6 Agent
    The reason I was asking was because people were backing in fish-related expressions because of the arrest of the "deadliest catch"-guy. I wanted to know if there is a fish-related expression meaning (more or less) the same as our "happy salmon" :)

    That would be the " happy as a clam " saying

    That's it :D
    ( even though salmon looks more high-spirited than clams.. ..)
  • VesperMelogranoVesperMelograno The SouthPosts: 901MI6 Agent
    I would debate that clams are very high spirited.

    Yesterday I was at the grand opening of the Loen Skylift, the steepest gondola skylift ride in the world. It goes from near sea level to about a thousand meters above sea level very quickly. The lady in the gondola is Queen Sonja, who opened the attraction. Eagle-eyed members can see me on the ground in this picture:

    While the queen's gondola went up, five skydivers jumped down. This is the resturant at the top:

    This photo is from the testing of the skylift earlier this year. If any of you comes to visit, I'll be happy to take you there for a Bondian experience :007)

    After SPECTRE I suspect there won't be need for a location like that for a very long time..... :#
  • ChriscoopChriscoop Belize Posts: 10,449MI6 Agent
    I don't know, the great thing about many bond films is the differing locations packed in.

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,699MI6 Agent
    Yes, but there has been three gondola scenes in Bond movies. In OHMSS, MR and SPECTRE. That's not even once per each decade...

    I actually thought about that yesterday while watching them fly over the queen's gondola :D

    My thoughts are with the people of Manchester and Britain after the attack last night. I hope all members here and their friends and family are safe. The ideology that sees crowds of young people as ideal targets of violence is sick.
