  • Regrettably. But it’s more of an unending torment situation than a life threatening situation. And they don’t harass you on the beach or on the mountains, just in the forest. And let’s face it, if you’re doing anything with your summer other than sitting in a boat with a fishing line, you’re doing it wrong.

    The sea Sami had the right idea. Spend the summer fishing on the sea and spend the winter hunting in the forest. A lifestyle I intend to resurrect once I retire.




  • The price of things produced in Norway are tied to the strength of nok, things produced in Iceland are tied to the strength of isk and things produced in the Eurozone is tied to the strength of the euro. Iceland only produces fish, sheep, root vegetables and bananas. So the price of those things will remain stable to people who live in Iceland whereas imported stuff will cost more or less based on the relationship between isk and euro. A tourist paying a set price in isk for a serving of rotten shark might think it’s expensive relative to a steak imported from the EU if the exchange rate is such that you get more Icelandic kroner for your euro. If the exchange rate is such that you get fewer kroner for your euro the rotten shark will seem pretty expensive. Because despite the price of the rotten shark being exactly the same in isk, its more expensive in euros.

    But to take your example, the price of Hansa, Ringnes, Mack, and Dahls is about the same but Heineken and hoegaarden have gone up in nok despite paying the same price in euro. But Norway isn’t a great example tbh because the prices are set by a cartel of 4 large companies who are prone to price gouging.


  • We dont use the Euro. We pay the same price day to day in nok for local goods and get charged the same price in euros for imported goods. So if the krone drops in value compared to the Euro, the price in nok goes up. So someone could come to Norway when the crown was strong and the locally produced fish would seem very expensive compared to imported meat. Or come when the krone was weak against the Euro and think the fish was really cheap. Im not saying the price would fluctuate significantly day to day but it stands to reason that you could regard the fish as cheap and someone visiting at a different time might think it’s expensive. Even if the price in isk is the same.








  • The left have been warning about exactly what’s happening for years. Practically screaming it into traffic. Noone has listened, noone has taken us seriously, noone has thought to actually stand up to the oligarchs.

    After a while you have to stop treating them like children who don’t know better and come to the realisation that they want the cruelty and oppression. They just don’t want it to happen to them.

    Once the extrajudicial deportations start, anyone still onboard with it is by definition hostile and an active supporter of fascism. These people can’t be reasoned with.
