Fjordlandia Viking bar & kaffistove, main str. 221B, Needlehole

*Note! There will be spoilers for BBC's Sherlock in this thread! Please, no spoiling of episodes which have not yet aired on Norwegian television (NRK 2012).*


I all foreign lands, well foreign to Scandinavians that is, a mysterious event can be seen. If more than two Scandinavians are present at the same time a Viking bar will automatically appear. And the same is true for Forumshire.

Put on your plastic viking helmet with unrealistically large horns and have a seat!

Velkomen inn!

yey! Endelig!! fant fram te slutt

tja.. ska skrive på dialækt æ så slæpp dæm å kjøre alt gjænnom google translate

nah, that would be mean xD English it is, eh? or what do u think?

Shall we discuss Lillyhammer? It is cute, but I don't think it is as funny as people clame it to be. It is cute and fun because it is in Norway, but not funny because the humour is great. The humour in Sherlock is in another class! OMG! can't say too often how much I LOVE Sherlock!

Oh goodness! More Fjordianlandian?

For those of you who only speak English (like me), I'll translate.

No, that would be mean (laugh out loud) it is English, hey? Or what do you think?


It would be easier for everyone if Fjordianlandians spoke simple Forumshire English, mind.

Its like the Shetlands and Orkney in here only more so- why is that pig on fire?
Right a barrel of whatever passes for buckie around here Fjordlanders and I do hope this place has a no Paw policy.

Fjordlanders? And there's me thinking I was translating Fjordianlandian - the native tongue of Fjordianlandia, as you know, Petty. Oh silly me.

Fjordianlandian is all very nice but I can never remember how to spell it.

{{{I only hope the Fjordianlandians take the hint and spell their name accurately. It's Odo's Squach (Sqwaych) business all over again, in a way. I did not want to embarass them too much by pointing out their illiteracy. Yes, they're descendants of vikings and all, but they do try to write Eru's English, Bless 'em. I'm using the encryption spell, Petty, to save their blushes. Wouldn't want to rub their base ignorance in, would I? That wouldn't be respectable, would it? }}}

are u making fun of our poor english? and here am I, praising ur great fjordlandian!

Eegads Norc you hacking encryptions again!!! That message was for my eyes only!! This really is troublesome!!

Anything contained inside magical {{{{{ }}}}}} brackets Norc can only be read by the person its intended for- unless you are using unnatural black magic to read other peoples mail?!

I am an Mirkwood elf, I have elven eyes, I see much

Only Admin and Queen Tin have encryption breaking powers Norc! Elven eyes is not a good enough excuse for reading others mail!! Otherwise we may have to remove those elven eyes from you!

I am making fun, Norc, but with no (genuine) arrogance or condescension, just plain silliness. I was definirtely NOT teasing you about your English - that would indeed be poor manners and something I would NEVER do. (And your English is fine btw). The joke is that I would have the nerve to translate Norweigan when I can't speak a word of the language - and even tell you that you guys can't even spell the name of your own (Forumshire) country, Fjordianlandia - that's gotta be silly and funny. Come on, it HAS to be... .

Now, this is the second time I've explained myself, and I don't as rule do so, which shows how kind hearted I really am, I really don't desire to offend you all the time, only 'pretend' to insult you. To actually offend is NEVER the intent with jokes, period. Leelee was right, though, that I might get cranky now and then. But I don't joke when I do it. I don't pull punches. And I always regret doing so, even if I still think I'm right. But we all get cranky sometimes, don't we? As I said , most of my crankiness is feigned. Real crankiness has burst out of me very rarely I might add.

Now, if I have to explain myself again, Norc, I swear my funny bone will dissolve immediately into dust and I'll be as crabbit as Petty - or even worse (if there is worse, of course? )

Oh yes, I fully plan to continue baiting you and everyone else. That's my role here.

Ask Eldorion. My title is listed somwhere. "Sir Orwell McOdo (the Seventh) Master of Baiting and Prancing Around Inanely". I hold a very Important Office in Forumshire, you see. So show me some respect!

Oh yes, I'm also this year's Most Popular Male - just in case you didn't know.

Norc live up North, where half the year the sun is gone and, if it's anything like my regions, the other half mostly behind clouds. Magical Brackets are no match for children of the Mørketid. It's a bit like Riddick.

If we use English then we can be spared from, er I mean, spare Orwell for the hassle of translating all we say. So yeah, English!

Well something must be done about it- Forumshire relies on the encryption spells for discretion - thery'd be chaos without it.

And stinky... Really, who cleans this Forum? The peppermint smell is NEEDED!

If it smells of pigsty that may be me! I may have got a bit drunk and slept there again last night.

Um, well that explains it then.

Let's see if I can mask the {{{smell}}} a bit.

-sniff- peppermint with a hint of herring and an undelying current of pigsty still- not sure that helps.

Know what might help? A wash. No, don't panic! Our lovely Fjordlandian cousins on that island somewhere were kind enough to lend us a geysir, it's a hot bath AND a shower at the same time. Did I say bath? It sort of boils... think of it as a test of manhood.

Forumshire has no cleaners. I suspect beause Eldorion is such a penny pincher.

Is it a buckie geyser? I do hope so.

lool! Now I really wasn't insulted at all! course I understood that was a joke.. omg xD you really don't have to explain youself! really. U pretend to teas and all that, and I pretend too! I play along on ur joke xD in fact, I think we kind of have the same humour, I'm just a bit carefull with it on the internett because I feel it may be misunderstood very easily .. goood... I know u are kind and all that and I know u never mean to hurt anyone. c'mon. Did u really think I was serious? well.. I'll be more careful :S (I am only teasing back u see, I don't really get angry..)

Okaaaaaaay then... MATTER CLOSED.

Orwell wrote:Okaaaaaaay then... MATTER CLOSED.

maybe I should use more smilies so that everyone knos I am not serious

or just wirte NOT SERIIOUS/SARCASM ALLERT! ¨

yeah, matter closed x)

Now just to settle the matter of encryptions- you must solemnly swear not to break any more young Norc!
